NEW YORK, July 5 (UPI) -- British model and actress Elizabeth Hurley has signed up for a guest spot on the U.S. drama series "Gossip Girl," TV Line reported Tuesday.

Executive producers Stephanie Savage and Joshua Safran told the Web site Hurley is to appear in a multi-episode arc on the upcoming fifth season of the New York-set teen soap opera.

Savage and Safran in a statement described Hurley's character, Diana Payne, as "a sexy, smart, self-made media mogul and all-around force to be reckoned with."

"Diana's entrance on the Upper East Side will change the lives of all our characters -- including, and especially, Gossip Girl herself," the producers added. "Elizabeth's sense of humor, intelligence and beauty fit the 'GG' world perfectly. We feel very fortunate to have her."
