Quelle horreur! A French change of scenery for Gossip Girl and a California earthquake for 90210 couldn’t boost either show’s season premiere last night — in fact, both were down 30% year-to-year in key demos, a perilous place to be for the CW. Can we suggest a few quick fixes ? [ TV By the Numbers ]

Chelsea Handler may have been hungover from a long night of VMA s partying, but she still taped a new show with Easy A actress Emma Stone — and yes, they did manage to talk about everything from massage chairs to fast food to de-virginizing high school boys. Elsewhere, Philip Seymour Hoffman told Craig Ferguson about his craft, Ben Affleck talked bank robbers, Stephen Colbert decried American Apparel and Jimmy Fallon taught viewers how to be sports fans.

Welcome back, Upper East Siders! The season premiere of Gossip Girl arrived last night with haute couture, the Eiffel Tower and… well, not much else. It was a quiet kick-off, without much scandal, sass or Chuck Bass. Not even Gossip Girl herself seemed on her game — though kudos to Kristen Bell for wrapping her tongue around all those heavy French vowels. Voulez-vous puns? To the index!

James Gunn just spent one of the most successful weekends of his life in Toronto, premiering his new superhero-splatter-comedy SUPER to Midnight Madness raves before selling it off to IFC Films in the festival’s first distribution deal. In the end, though, Gunn’s biggest triumph may have come in writing and directing the film he wanted to make exactly how he wanted to make it, with Rainn Wilson’s nobody Frank adopting the crimefighting persona the Crimson Bolt after his wife (Liv Tyler) is all but kidnapped by a local drug baron (Kevin Bacon). It’s a lot harder than it sounds in an age of indie-market turbulence, comic-book genre saturation, and even Gunn’s own creative apprehensions following his 2006 debut Slither . He spoke to Movieline about these and other subjects — from Joe Strummer to God — over the weekend.

The second big deal of the Toronto Film Festival occurred today when the Weinstein Company acquired the road-trip flick Dirty Girl for a reported $3 million. Uh, wow. Abe Sylvia directed the ’80s-set film, starring Juno Temple as the title character who flees her high school (and possibly her bad reputation) with a gay classmate. Dwight Yoakam, Milla Jovovich and Willam H. Macy co-star; the purchase includes a theatrical-release guarantee, so save the shelf jokes for at least another six months if you don’t mind. [ Deadline ]

Before last night’s middling VMA telecast, MTV snuck in an extra episode of Jersey Shore complete with a big Italian meal, a botched hookup for The Situation and Pauly D, and our first glimpse at a truly crestfallen Vinny. But how fresh-to-death did the guidos remain? Let’s take a look at their report card.

Writing Milk earned him an Oscar, but naturally, what Dustin Lance Black really wanted to do was direct. And thus we have What’s Wrong With Virginia , the behind-the-camera debut of the most celebrated gay ex-Mormon working in cinema today — which might seem irrelevant until you see the wild pastiche of themes and tones he’s whipped up here. As per festival custom , a few first impressions follow the jump.

It’s been clear for the last few weeks, but last night’s finale drove it home: The third season of True Blood really should have ended with that episode where Russell makes his literally spine-tingling news appearance and provokes a full-out human/vampire war. Instead, the show’s follow-ups have mostly sidestepped that promising development, and all of the season’s plotlines either ran out of steam or were hurriedly shuffled away for abrupt character reboots that felt like an overeager jump on season four. The season began strong and laid out a lot of promising ideas, but that finale…well, let’s see how it fared via the Sex and Violence Meter, shall we?
