Alpha cougar Cindy Adams got her claws into Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford the other night and told him she’d heard he was a hottie. “Oh, please,” he grinned self-effacingly, “It’s sort of fun when people say those nice things about me, but I’m not thinking I’m anybody so special. And I can’t say I actually stopped the world when I was in school. I mean, I didn’t have a really hard time getting girls. It’s not that I was ever a dork or anything like that. It’s more that I was into sports. For me, when I was younger, it was sports. I’d say I was just plain Mr. Johnny Everyday in school. I think I’m just a late bloomer.” [NYP]
