Real-life New York artist Aaron Rose says he wishes his “Gossip Girl” counterpart who goes by the same name would have been “cooler,” the New York Post reports. According to the Post, Rose says a writer for the show contacted him several months ago with no follow-up. A new character on “Gossip” appeared later and is romancing Serena (played by Blake Lively) on the show, but Rose says, “He wasn’t a very well-researched character,” the Post reports.
