Gossip Girl could keep Chace from “kicking off his Sunday shoes….”

Chace Crawford is in final negotiations for the lead role in the upcoming revival of Kevin Bacon’s 1984 film Footloose. There’s only one problem: his hit CW show, Gossip Girl.

According to a scoop from E!’s Mark Malkin, the G.G. shooting schedule has put a major kink in plans for Chace to star in Footloose and show producers have been able unable to adjust the schedule to accommodate the movie musical.

“There’s a big overlap of when he’d have to shoot Footloose and the next season of Gossip Girl,” a source said. “Chace may be hiring a big-league attorney to come in and figure out how to make it work.”
