Bandmate Reveals How 'Girly' Leighton Meester Is

Cobra Starship has scored a summer hit with "Good Girls Go Bad" thanks, in part, Leighton Meester's guest vocals. But bassist Alex Suarez admits he wasn't familiar with the Gossip Girl star before they met.

"I’ve never seen the show," he tells Self.com. (The former caterer prepares a summer salad and panini for the site, too.) "Before we went to do the video shoot, I didn't even know what she looked like until they introduced me to her."

That wasn't the case for lead singer Gabe Saporta. "[H]e was insanely excited because he's a huge fan and he didn't want to geek out too hard in front of her," says Suarez.

Meester, 23, didn't disappoint: "[S]he is so nice! She's so friendly and professional and awesome to work with," gushes the bassist.

Talk about a scene-stealer!

After taking up temporary residence in the Big Apple to shoot his latest romantic-drama, Remember Me,, Robert Pattinson has been making his way around town, dealing with countless crowds simply trying to get a glimpse of the Twilight hunk at work.

But now, school is back in session. The cast of Gossip Girl is shooting around the city – and hitting their favorite upscale hotspots – for the third season of the CW's guiltiest pleasure. A colorful Leighton Meester was recently spotted getting chummy with bad boy Ed Westwick, while Chace Crawford strutted the streets solo.

With a wealth of hotties hovering around the city, tell us:

Leighton Meester Likes Her Men 'Dark and Bad'

If Leighton Meester and her TV alter-ego Blair Waldorf ever met, they might end up fighting for the affection of Gossip Girl bad boy Chuck Bass.

"I think guys who are rebels and make their own rules are appealing," the actress, 22, tells Seventeen magazine for its March issue. "I don't want to tame anybody. I want them to be dark and bad."

Hard-working Meester, however, isn't looking for an outright troublemaker. "[G]uys who are a little bad – and by bad, I mean they're not like constantly around – I consider gold," she explains. "Guys who are unavailable are actually a dream come true for me because I'm unavailable all the time. It's great they're not down your throat."
