CW to stop streaming 'Gossip Girl'

OMFG indeed. The CW has announced it will stop streaming new episodes of "Gossip Girl" on the network's website because of concerns that the teen hit's massive online popularity is detracting from the TV show's Nielsen ratings. Say what?! The buzz-heavy series racks up massive numbers of online hits and is regularly one of the most downloaded shows on iTunes. The new measure is also a preemptive measure to counteract the loss of viewers expected as a result of the show's time slot switch.

Not that I'm a huge fan of the Spice Girls, but I can match the face/name to the persona. The one that is in this article is actually "Ginger Spice". Baby Spice was the blonde with an innocent look to her.
