Leighton Meester
News

On Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester plays Blair Waldorf, one of our favorite characters, a mostly proper young woman who only rarely lets her guard down.

When she does let her sexy side shine, though, Blair certainly knows how to channel her inner bad girl. In this photo shoot with GQ, Leighton does too:

Leighton Meester is a good girl gone bad!

The 23-year-old actress and aspiring singer absolutely sizzles inside the magazine, which names her its Obsession of the Year. No objections here!

This might be the sexiest photo shoot she's ever done. Not that we're complaining Click to enlarge lots more Leighton Meester pictures from GQ ...

OMG. Is Blair borrowing a page from Jenny?

That's what it looks like in the photo below? Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester looked almost unrecognizable thanks to her raccoon eyes, pale skin and red lipstick at Tuesday's American Eagle Outfitters flagship store launch in NYC.

What do you think of her eye-popping look?

Does the heavy makeup work on Leighton Meester?

Blair Waldorf's attitude would not be the same without a sheer red, plump pout. Okay, it so would, but that lip color gives it a certain extra element!

In real life, Leighton Meester, the girl behind the Gossip Girl character we know and love, favors scarlet lip gloss, too. Her absolute favorite product?

"L'Oreal Infallible Plumping Lipgloss in Plumped Red gives me that extra little color and boost when I really want my lips to pop," the actress said.

The result? A gorgeous Leighton Meester ....

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, who as we know is an aspiring singer as well as a terrific young actress, has released her official music video for "Somebody to Love" (teased during last week's episode) featuring Robin Thicke.

Check it out below and tell us what you think!

Gossip Girl stars Ed Westwick (Chuck) and Leighton Meester (Blair) paid a visit to a homeless shelter for an upcoming scene for the hit show on Friday.

Whatever the purpose of their visit, the two looked classically handsome and beautiful as always. Gaze upon the unparalleled beauty that is Chair ...

What does the rest of the season hold for Chair?

Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester is also an aspiring singer, as we know.

To that end, the good girl gone bad joined Weezer on stage during their Halloween concert at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on Halloween Night Saturday.

Leighton helped Rivers Cuomo sing Weezer’s new single “(If You’re Wondering if I Want You To) I Want You To.” Nat Wolff of the Naked Brothers Band also joined!

Check out the clip of Leighton and Weezer rocking out live below ...

This is random, but we think you'll have fun with it anyway. We often debate the merits of Gossip Girl couples, but which real-life pairing is your favorite?

Not that there's a wrong answer, really.

You have to love the fact that three different pairs of co-stars are currently dating - and not dating who their Gossip Girl characters are (at least right now).

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley have been an item since way back when Dan and Serena were a thing. Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are a couple, as well.

Rounding out our survey are Leighton Meester and recurring guest star Sebastian Stan (Carter). All seem happy and more stable than their GG alter egos!

There's still hope for you (age appropriate) single guys and girls: We think Chace Crawford, Michelle Trachtenberg, Taylor Momsen and Connor Paolo are single.

As for the three aforementioned pairs, who's your fave? Vote below!

Who's your favorite real-life Gossip Girl couple?

This video is about two weeks old (October 5) and doesn't show any breaking Gossip Girl scoop, but one of our readers, Scottish Thistle, was kind enough to shoot and upload it for us while on vacation in NYC, so we thought we'd post!

Check out Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick, as the beloved Blair and Chuck, filming scenes for future GG episodes in New York's Central Park ...

Gossip Girl is about to step up its love game.

On tonight's episode, Ed Westwick's Chuck Bass will start playing for the other team - or at least masquerade as such - and kiss a guy on the show.

No word on how much he'll like the gay kiss, but his on-screen love, Leighton Meester, divulges that her own Blair Waldorf may be the mastermind.

"Well, I guess that I can tell you some things," she told MTV on the set of the new music video for her duet with Robin Thicke, "Somebody to Love."

"No, it's not tied into the threesome. I think all of this is so everybody grabs their attention, and we are all in college now, so we can definitely push the limit a little more with the sexuality, which is fine by me."

"I sort of make the kiss happen. I can tell you that much, and that's it."

Leighton Meester previews tonight's Gossip Girl and beyond.

As if the latest steamy story lines on Gossip Girl weren't attention-grabbing enough, Lady Gaga will also be making an appearance later this season.

"I don't know what I can say, and what I can't," Meester said. "But it was really cool. It was very avant garde and kind of gothic, and she's pretty cool."

While Penn Badgley suggested last week that Gaga would have something to do with Dan Humphrey's storyline, Meester clarified that isn't exactly true:

"She just makes a cameo, and we talk about her for awhile," she said. "But, yeah, we all have a story line where we put on a cabaret with her songs."

"Other than that, you'll have to wait and see."

As we reported earlier in the week, Leighton Meester just released her new single "Somebody To Love," a collaboration with singer-songwriter Robin Thicke.

The awesome actress' previous foray into music, Gossip Girl fans probably all remember, was guest vocals on Cobra Starship's hit "Good Girls Go Bad."

Teaming up with the band was fun, but she's been in the studio, writing and recording her own stuff. Here's what she had to say in a Q&A with Buzznet:

Q: Do you have a morning bathroom routine? If so what does it entail from when you get out of bed until you are dressed for the day?

Leighton Meester: I do exactly what everyone does, my butler brings me breakfast in bed, and I get up when my massage is over. Obviously not the case, I wake up early usually but occasionally get days when I can sleep in, so by that time, it's unfortunate to say, I check my phone and emails.

Then I shower, clean my face with la roche posay and dr haushka products, chanel also makes a great foaming cleanser, brush my teeth, I decide what to wear, which is really fun because I have a huge, fairly organized closet, my apartment's best feature. If I have time I make a coffee. But I'm usually out the door within 30.

Q: Who was your first kiss? Details ... How old were you? Where were you?

Leighton Meester: I was 16, a guy I knew through friends from school, he was walking me home from the movies, and I honestly was so nervous and couldn't believe I was getting my first kiss, so I don't remember much else but turning around and running home. People would always play spin the bottle and truth or dare but I never went through with it when it was my turn because I didn't want that to be my first kiss.  My friend from middle school and I were talking about that recently, we were pretty much not interested in guys at that age.

Q: What do you have hanging on your walls in your bedroom? Posters? Artwork?

Leighton Meester: I have a beautiful oil painting my best friend/boyfriend had made for me.  He told the artist about me, my favorite colors and poetry and she painted a large very special abstract work I have hanging in my dining room. It came with a disc of the music she listened to while painting it.
