New York (ANI): Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford seems to have a new gal pal. And, according to the sources, its Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Esti Ginzburg. The 19-year-old model was seen constantly texting Crawford at dinner party thrown by fashion label Sergio Rossi and later left the party to go meet up with him, reports the New York Post.

Ginzburg is slated to star with Crawford in 'Twelve', a Joel Schumacher's adaptation of Nick McDonell's book about drug-addled NYC prep schoolers. Meanwhile, Crawford would be replacing Zac Efron in the remake of 'Footloose'.

The 23-year-old actor was roped in after the 'High School Musical' star stepped out of the movie.
