Chace Crawford has officially been charged with a misdemeanor possession charge stemming from his arrest in Plano, Texas on June 4.

The Plano Police Department confirms to X17online that the Gossip Girl star has been charged with possession of less than 2 ounces of pot.

According to officers who were at the scene, Chace was in a 2003 Nissan 350Z with a friend ... and an unlit joint.

If convicted, Crawford faces a maximum fine of $2000 and/or up to six months in jail.

His court date has not been announced.

How's this for irony? The same day Chace Crawford got busted for pot possession, his trailer for Twelve hit the web, where he plays a drug dealer in NYC. Thoughts?

Chace Crawford has been arrested in Plano, Texas for possessing pot. The Gossip Girl star was taken into custody just outside of Ringo's Pub.

The bartender, who was on duty last night, tells X17online that the police were only inside the pub for a few minutes just after midnight ... then they headed to the parking lot where the arrest was made.

A patron from inside the pub says the actor, who is a Lubbock, Texas native, was in a car with a friend when he was busted.

According to the Plano Police Department report, the two guys were sitting inside a 2003 Nissan 350Z at the time of the arrest. Crawford was charged with a misdemeanor for possessing less than 2 ounces of marijuana.

We're told Crawford has been released on bail.

Is it possible Chace Crawford smelled a box office disaster looming on the horizon?

The Gossip Girl star's rep has confirmed that he will not be playing the lead in the Footloose remake. Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Paramount is now "likely to cast an unknown," and it seems as though Chace's GG summer shooting schedule was to blame for him dropping out.

Previously, High School Musical actor Zac Efron was slated to play the lead role in the 80s remake.

Not only are there a bevy of lovely ladies in NYC for Fashion Week, but we've spotted a lot of dolled up dudes in town as well! From the yummy Ryan Phillippe to Jared Leto and his Rob-inspired hair, there is no shortage of man candy roaming around the Big Apple. But are these boys in town for the clothes or cute models?

But isn't he supposed to be in NYC filming Gossip Girl? The TV hunk flashed his trademark grin while leaving The London hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Don't think that you'll always get your way by smiling, Chace!

Actually, you probably will.

What! The Gossip Girl hunk IS as pretty as a doll. And you can just tell everyone around him thinks so.

Sure, he might be forgotten when his hit show ends, but he'll look pretty forever and ever!

Actually, he's just filming a scene for Gossip Girl - what else would he be doing? That being said, he looks hot hot hot! I love his NYC winter clothing style. Adorbs!
