(Aug. 26) - Ed Westwick is aware how cool he is.

The "Gossip Girl" actor, who resembles a young Joaquin Phoenix (sans lip scar), knows full well he's at the center of attention when it comes to his sorta-hit show. That cocky vampire look has scored him a bevy of female admirers, a free wardrobe, and bona fide rock star status in NYC, where he lives with co-star Chace Crawford.

Westwick, who plays Chuck Bass, sat down with Page Six to put those gay rumors to rest and to muse about his summer in the city shooting "Gossip," that rare breed of a television show that enjoys a steady stream of water cooler buzz despite having relatively few viewers.

Hilarious Gay Rumors: "People think Chace is gay, and thought I was gay, that we were humping," Ed says. "It's not true, but hilarious. People project their fantasies onto people. I?ve never been someone who makes it my objective to go out and pick up chicks. But I've met some fantastic ladies here. You know, those amazing conversations where you find yourself in a caf� talking until 2 a.m. and never see them again."

Perks of the Job: "We [the Gossip Girl cast] were all thrown into this situation with a lot of attention on us, and you get a lot of free clothes and s--t but that?s no reason not to stay grounded. What am I really doing, baby? Saving the world? Nah, I?m on television."

Summer Creepin': "I love going out in the summer. The girls wear their nice dresses ... Did that sound sleazy? It really did, didn't it? Put it like this: Everyone comes out looking gorgeous in summer. We are a more beautiful species in the summer."

That Look: "My style has always been good. Top notch, baby. I like the glamorous indie rock look, like the Libertines. But you know, without the heroin needle sticking out of my arm."

Consequence-Free Partying: "If I want to go out and drink and throw a glass in the street, I'll do it. As long as the reason is that I want to have fun and not that I want to create some sort of tension around me. Then I'd be a d--k. But I'm not."
