"  You&amp;#039;re perched on the steps of the Met with your headband on and your cell glued to your palm: Now who was the title girl on Gossip Girl? Prepare for a major spoiler in the wake of last night&amp;#039;s series finale on the CW. Fans know that Kristen Bell is literally Gossip Girl, the snarky social blogger who chronicled the hook ups and break ups of the ridiculously swanky Upper East Side set. After providing six years of Carrie Bradshaw-esque voice overs, the pregnant-in-real-life Kristen she made her first-ever on-screen appearance on the series as herself, auditioning for a GG movie alongside Rachel Bilson, O.C. alum and bestie of GG creator Josh Schwartz. But Kristen isn&amp;#039;t our girl. Hold on to your knee socks because the real Gossip Girl wasn&amp;#039;t a girl at all: It was none other than Dan &amp;quot;Lonely Boy&amp;quot; Humphries, the brooding nerd-turned-prolific writer played by Penn Badgley!  Dan reveals the news via Nate&amp;#039;s (Chace Crawford&amp;#039;s) newspaper (FYI for returning fans, Nate owns a newspaper now), saying, &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t born into this world, maybe I could write myself into it&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;I might have been a joke, but at least these people were talking about me.&amp;quot; The Brooklynite started blogging on his wild Manhattan classmates after GG&amp;#039;s very first party. Minds blown? Considering he&amp;#039;s a writer, we guess it makes sense. Could all of those puns really have been attributed to Serena (Blake Lively)? She was too busy dancing on tables. Or Blair (Leighton Meester)? She had wannabes to terrorize. Speaking of the other GG faves, Blair and Chuck (the wonderful Ed Westwick) and Serena and Gossip Boy, a.k.a Dan, got hitched! Confession: We haven&amp;#039;t faithfully watched the show in ages, but we&amp;#039;re suckers for a happy ending.  XOXO, Cosmo. Follow Michelle on Twitter.
