Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester Parties in N.Y.C. for 22nd Birthday
Originally posted 04/14/2008 05:50PM
Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester celebrated her 22nd birthday Saturday night in true Blair Waldorf fashion. The actress, dressed in a red, one-shoulder Armani mini-dress and Jill Stuart heels, partied with friends (including costars Nicole Fiscella and Sebastian Stan) at New York's ultra-exclusive Bungalow 8. The birthday girl twirled and spun around the upstairs dance floor overlooking the club's main room before being presented with a chocolate cake with vanilla icing by Fiscella and a club waitress. Meester sipped champagne as she continued to dance along to Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and The Foundations' "Build Me Up Buttercup," until the wee hours of the morning.

Leighton Meester's show Gossip Girl is one big hit. But could the young starlet consider switching to a career as a rapper?
"I have a huge range of songs," Meester, 22, told the blog Just Jared at a promotional event in New York Wednesday about her burgeoning musical career.
Explains the actress: "[On] some of them I just talk, I do a little – not rapping – but talking, sort of spoken word. It's a little Fergie, a little like Gwen Stefani and M.I.A."

Yes, he's dreamy. But Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester is shooting down talk of a romance with costar Chace Crawford.
"For the record, not true!" she told PEOPLE at the Monday night at The Help Group's Annual Teddy Bear Ball, where CW head honcho Dawn Ostroff was being honored.
But the brunette, 21, does admit that Crawford is one of her favorite costars. "I'm really close to Chace," she said. "We're really good friends. [Along with] Nicole [Fiscella], who plays Isabel on the show. We're all just really happy people. We have the same views on life."

Gossip Girl: That Girl Is Poison
Originally posted 09/27/2007 06:00AM
You've gotta love a series that's giving you major dramarama payoff in only its second week on the air, right? Other, lesser shows might have made us wait for months to see Blair drop her I–know–what–you–did–last–semester bombshell on former BFF Serena, but GG put it out there in Week Two. "I always knew you were a whore," Blair told a stunned Serena. "I never took you for a liar, too."
