The onscreen co-stars and real-life roommates share an apartment in Chelsea, but an insider tells us Crawford is looking for a place of his own. “Chace wants to move out to a bachelor pad. He wants privacy and has told his agent to spare no expense in finding the perfect loft.” The tipster said Crawford wants to live “downtown, in a secure building with a doorman.” Reps for Westwick and Crawford didn’t return calls.

SHORTLY after breaking up with Carrie Underwood via text message, “Gossip Girl” heartthrob Chace Crawford is rebounding with the show’s newest cast member, Michelle Trachtenberg. Our spies saw Crawford and Trachtenberg at SoHo hideout Upstairs “flirting heavily” early Saturday. Said the onlooker, “They were all over each other. She was drinking a beer and snuggling up to him.”

Carrie Underwood isn’t crying a river over her recent split from Chace Crawford.

“We broke up over text, so it’s like ‘peace out,’” Underwood, 25, told Extra at the Idol Gives Back taping in Hollywood Sunday. “It was completely mutual, we’re both fine.”

She said they haven’t talked “in a while, but I mean, I don’t dislike him. So it’s no big deal.”

Their relationship “just didn’t work,” Underwood added, “and we both knew it didn’t work and [there are] no hard feelings at all whatsoever.”

Dating in the public eye is “difficult … because people always make a lot bigger deal of things than they actually are,” she said.

Usmagazine.com was the first to report on their split. They called it quits because of their conflicting schedules, sources told Us.

“They couldn’t spend time together,” a source said. “It was hard.”

CHACE Crawford had anything but girlfriend Carrie Underwood on his mind in Las Vegas over the weekend. The “Gossip Girl” hunk was “surrounded by women” at Tao Friday night, and they were “dancing wildly and pawing on each other” and drinking Cristal and shots of Patron with former boybander JC Chasez. Giants star Michael Strahan hosted the party. “People came to congratulate him on his Super Bowl win all night,” said our spy.

Chace Crawford’s clan is crazy about Carrie Underwood.

“His whole family loves her,” a friend of the couple tells the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. “They are really perfect for each other.”

How close are the duo of six months (who started dating in July but didn’t go public until October)? After the American Idol winner, 24, spent Thanksgiving with the Gossip Girls hottie, 22, at his parents’ home in Dallas, she joined his relatives on part of her Christmas vacation as well, Us confirms. “They spent Christmas together and had a wonderful time,” a source says.

“His parents are fond of her and think she’s extremely talented,” an insider tells Us. “And they believe ‘Carrie Crawford’ would be a great addition to the family!”

Underwood, meanwhile, has no regrets about her July split from Tony Romo. “She thanks her lucky stars she isn’t with Tony anymore!” adds a source. “She thinks it’s a joke he’s with Jessica Simpson and sees him as a player. Carrie and Chace call him ‘the player’ and Jessica ‘the ditz.’”
