Five Fun Facts
1. Leighton Meester was a blonde before going brunette to audition for Gossip Girl. "They said, 'Please, you can't wear a wig.' So I dyed my hair before I even got the part. That's a big deal but I'm glad I did!" Meester told the AP.
2. Leighton Meester, who has aspirations to release an album, recorded a song for the soundtrack of her 2007 horror-comedy film Drive-Thru.
3. Although her Gossip Girl character, Blair Waldorf, is often labeled a *friendly*, Leighton Meester says she relates to Blair. "Blair's shortcomings are because of her insecurities," Meester told the AP. "She feels all this pressure to be perfect: to be the most beautiful, the most popular, the most loved."
4. Gossip Girl shoots on the same stage occupied for ten years by HBO's The Sopranos at Silvercup Studios in Queens, N.Y.
5. Leighton Meester loves Valentino, who, she told WWD, "is one who never misses." But she wouldn't drop cash on fashion like her character Blair: "I would never just walk into the Valentino boutique and go, 'I'm gonna take this leopard-print gown.' You can never wear it again, it's so memorable. You'd want to borrow it for the red carpet."

Rep Denies Leighton Meester is Engaged to Sebastian StanGossip Girl star Leighton Meester is not engaged, despite a report in the New York Post that she and beau Sebastian Stan (a former Gossip Girl guest star) announced on their "secret" Facebook pages that they're getting hitched. Stan's rep told Us Weekly simply that "He is not engaged." Another source says the supposed Facebook pages are fake. That settles that. Anyway, here's a photo of Leighton and Sebastian, who played Carter Baizen, a St. Jude's graduate and rival of Nate and Chuck, in Season One ... They may not be engaged yet, but the lovebirds seem to be going strong. In October, a source close to the actress said Leighton Meester is "really in love" with Stan. We're glad she's happy and wish this wonderful Gossip Girl star the best. Source: GGI

Leighton Meester’s New Album: ElectropopGossip Girl cutie Leighton Meester takes a break on the New York City set of her cover shoot for Teen Vogue to talk about style, her cult CW hit and co-star Ed Westwick. Here’s what the 22-year-old actress had to say: On how you can tell her and her character Blair Waldorf apart: “I don’t wear headbands, ever.” On her debut album: “The music is very fun. It’s edgy, like electropop rather than bubblegum and you can dance to it.” On co-star and on-screen love Ed Westwick: “He’s my favorite actor to work with. We have really good chemistry.” On her parents’ highly publicized prison past: “I wouldn’t have volunteered that information, but I’ve never kept it a secret either. It’s just not my past; it’s not my story to tell.” On her childhood: “I wasn’t born in jail; I was born in a hospital. I lived with my mother for a few months in a halfway house, and then I went to stay with my grandmother for a few more before my mom got out. But I had a normal life. Be sure to check out more behind-the-scenes pics and the video from Leighton’s cover shoot. Source: JJ
