You know you love Andrew McCarthy.

OMFG! I just heard some totally rad news! Andrew McCarthy is going back to the 1980s!

According to EW, the man best known as the kitchen appliance who stole Duckie's girl, is going to play Lily van der Woodsen's (played by Brittany Snow) dad, Rick, during flashbacks to Lily's teen years in the 80s on upcoming episode of Gossip Girl. The episode will be a preview of the new spin-off about Lily and will feature a newly rebanded No Doubt (!!) doing an Adam and the Ants cover.

I don't know about you, but the casting director hit solid gold with this one. No one rocks the 80s pastel suit better than Blaine. I'm not even into Gossip Girl right now, but this episode gets better by the kickass cameo appearance. You know you love it too.

XOXO,

Em
