Brittany Snow, the Hairspray actress is going to star in the new GG spin off...

The gorgeous Brittany will be playing the role of Lily Van Der Woodsen in the spin off  Gossip Girl episode...

The star will be in the prequel which will be chronicling the wild teen years of Lily ( now played by Kelly Rutherford) in Los Angeles during the 1980s.

The spin-off centres on then-Lily, who, after a falling-out with her parents, is forced to move in with her sister, Carol, the black sheep of the family.

Overnight, Lily has to transition from a life of luxury and education at a wealthy Montecito boarding school to living deep in the San Fernando Valley she once made fun of and going to public school. Caught between two worlds, Lily dives into the fast-paced Sunset Strip and the Hollywood lifestyle of the '80s, journeying over the hill to a world of wealth and excess that used to be her own.

We can't wait to see it but do you think Brittany will be up for the job? Check her out here playing Kate in John Tucker Must Die...
