<p>If your nation’s upper echelon of bitchy, class-conscious teens has yet to get its televised dues, then have no fear–<i>Gossip Girl </i>is coming to a country near you. Probably.</p>
<p>Following hot on the heels of last year’s announcement that China was to get its very own version of the hit Warner Brothers show–tentatively titled, <!--more--><em><a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2012/03/china-getting-its-own-gossip-girl-.html">China Girl</a></em>–Mexico has upped the ante with the announcement of the forthcoming <em>Gossip Girl: Acapulco</em>, produced by Warner Brothers International.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-284978" alt="3365_403335199751073_1139357534_n" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/3365_403335199751073_1139357534_n.jpg?w=150" width="150" height="150" />Today on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GossipGirlAcapulco">Facebook page</a> they debuted the cast, featuring a bunch of dead-ringers for the original gang (although with Dan rockin’ an <a href="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/3365_403335199751073_1139357534_n.jpg">extra dose of uni-brow</a>)<i>. </i>The lineup features Sofía Sisniega as Sofía López-Haro (aka the hispanified Serena Van Der Woodsen) whose previous work includes playing “20 year-old Bombshell” in the Mel Gibson train-wreck <i>Get the Gringo</i>, and, well, a bunch of other people you definitely won’t have heard of. But boy do they look good!<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-284979" alt="73350_403333523084574_1322631074_n" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/73350_403333523084574_1322631074_n.jpg?w=150" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>Unlike <em>China Girl</em> or the Turkish GG inspired <em>Küçük Sırlar</em> (Little Lies), <em>Gossip Girl Acapulco</em> seems like the most direct takeoff of the beloved original, and those of us still mourning its demise can’t wait to see a re-imagined version of all our favorite masquerade ball hijinks, coupled with deliciously cheesy melodrama that Latin television does best.</p>
<p>And what of the location? You may know Acapulco as the beachy jet-setters paradise and hip vacation spot for Mexico’s moneyed elites, or as the place where they just <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/mexico/8249042/14-beheaded-in-resort-of-Acapulco-in-escalating-drug-gang-feud.html">can’t stop finding decapitated bodies.</a></p>
<p>Let’s hope this new round of <em>Gossip Girl</em> only sees Blair losing her virginity, and, not, on top of it, her head.</p>
