Gossip Girl

Another "Gossip Girl" star in the news. Kelly Rutherford is apparently worried that her ex might leave the country with the couple's two children, Hermes and Helena.

We got our hands on docs filed yesterday in their custody war -- both Rutherford and her estranged hubby Daniel Giersch have agreed he will ante up his visa and visa application to her lawyer within a week.

The docs don't say why this is happening, but the application is telling -- it seems Giersch may have plans to leave the country, smack in the middle of their ongoing fight over the kids. Giersch is from Germany.

UPDATE 9:40 AM ET: Apparently the deal has been closed, because celebhotline.com has pics of what looks like the video on its site.

Spotted ... "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester having sex with her BF... on video.

We've learned a Meester tape is being shopped around town. It was shot a few years back, and shows Leighton in mostly innocuous though nude scenes -- with several big exceptions ... one involving her very talented feet.

We're told a company called celebhotline.com is negotiating for the video. The company's spokesperson, Kevin Blatt told us, "We've seen the tape and we're hoping to close the deal."

We contacted Leighton's rep but so far ... no comment.

The "Real Housewife of New York" (right) and "Gossip Girl's" Zuzanna Szadkowski (common spelling) were spotted together at the Do Something Awards Thursday night in NYC.

How nice of Blair to give her right hand woman a night off.

Rutherford hired the private eye to prove her ex, Daniel Giersch, didn't properly secure the pool and play areas at his home -- which she said endangered the couple's 2-year-old son Hermes. She also wanted Daniel to stop potty training the kid.

Kelly has filed legal papers asking the judge to prohibit Daniel from taking 2-year-old Hermes to his home until he has properly secured the pool and play areas.

She also wants Daniel to stop potty training the kid, stat. She doesn't say why.

The judge has set a hearing for Friday. In the meantime, the judge has ordered Daniel to properly cover the pool.

But you have to watch the video to get the answer to the guy's: What's the greatest nation?

Giersch didn't want their two-year-old son, Hermes Gustaf, to travel with Kelly to NYC to film "Gossip Girl." The judge allowed the travel temporarily, and today Giersch's lawyer says everyone will probably agree to some permanent custody deal.

Rutherford, who plays Lily van der Woodsen on the show, is pregnant with their second child ... always awkward.

Sometimes you have to drink to forget ... especially if you're on a show like "Gossip Girl."

Nate Archibald was no where in sight. XOXO.

Her soon-to-be ex husband Daniel Giersch still contends Kelly is too crazed while she's filming, which isn't a good influence on their son.

The judge said Kelly can go on Sunday and her estranged hubby Daniel Giersch is free to travel there as well. He had argued he needed to stay in L.A. to do his business, but the judge begged to differ. Daniel told the court he will travel to New York.

Rutherford filed for divorce on December 30. She is also pregnant.

Giersch was awarded two overnight visits per week for the month of February and three per week for March. They all need to come back to L.A. for a minimum of four days, at least twice. During the L.A. stays, Hermes will alternate between the two parents.

The judge also ruled 2-year-old Hermes will bounce between NYC and L.A. for the next two months while the feuding couple tries to hash out a long-term custody arrangement. Good luck.

Kelly Rutherford and Daniel Giersch are at war over their kid, Hermes. The judge presumably will decide today whether Kelly can travel to NYC this weekend with the kid to film the show. Giersch doesn't want Rutherford to travel with the kid because he says she gets all crazy when she films and the kid is a basket case.

Rutherford got emotional after yesterday's hearing.

Here's how nasty the Kelly Rutherford/Daniel Giersch divorce has gotten -- they're bickering over who doesn't wipe their kid.

In legal papers filed today, Giersch claims he tried to potty train their son, Hermes, early on but Rutherford took his mini-toilet seat away and hid it and did not "encourage him to use the toilet."

Giersch adds, "I have witnessed that she does not always keep his bottom clean."

And there's more. Giersch says it is not "reasonable or appropriate for [Rutherford] to be breast feeding when he is nearly 2 1/2 years old."

As if to punctuate his point, Giersch says the kid is old enough to be fluent in German.

Kelly Rutherford, who plays Lily van der Woodsen, was in court this morning, asking an L.A. County Superior Court judge to green light her request to bring her two-year-old son Hermes to NYC to begin filming this coming Sunday.

Standing in her way -- estranged hubby Daniel Giersch -- who claims the kid is a basket case when he goes back to New York because Kelly gets crazy with her work schedule. Kelly says she's been taking the kid back and forth for a long time and it's no problemo.

Kelly Rutherford, who plays Lily van der Woodsen on "Gossip Girl," claims her husband is ominous, violent and bad news for their kid.

Rutherford filed legal papers that the judge will consider tomorrow in a showdown hearing. Rutherford's estranged husband, Daniel Giersch, wants the judge to prohibit his soon-to-be ex-wife from taking two-year-old Hermes to NYC to film the show.

Rutherford claims Giersch has gotten into blowout arguments with her, in one case allegedly coming at her. She says he's an avid boxer and kickboxer and she is "intimidated by him."

She also says he's threatened to teach her a lesson by taking the child. She says it's gotten so bad she called the cops twice and he's been forced to leave.

Giersch has claimed the kid is totally stressed out around Rutherford and that she can't be a real mom because her shooting schedule is insane. She says it's just not true.

Serena's mom on "Gossip Girl" could face an untimely death unless a judge lets her fly.

Kelly Rutheford (Lily van der Woodsen) has a big problem. We've learned she went to court last week and pleaded with the judge in her divorce case to let her go to NYC with her two-year-old, Hermes. The judge shut Kelly down, telling her he'll take the issue up a week from today.

Kelly's going through a mega-nasty divorce with her hubby of 2+ years, Daniel Giersch.

Now here's the problemo. Sources on "Gossip Girl" tell us Kelly is supposed to be in New York to shoot by January 27. If the judge shuts her down next week that's not going to happen. Producers could deal with a small delay and shoot her out of sequence, but if the delay is longer they could just shoot her -- as in her character.
