Leighton Meester stepped off of the Gossip Girl set and onto the stage for a performance of "Somebody to Love" during her appearance on It's On With Alexa Chung yesterday. Although most of you were into her sound, you were totally split on her steamy video and thought her sexy photo shoot was too much. Now that she's getting used to singing live, check out her performance and tell us - are you still excited about Leighton's singing career?

PopSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:00:00 -0800

Leighton Meester joined Chace Crawford, Blake Lively and Ed Westwick yesterday on the NYC set of Gossip Girl. Unlike her edgier performance look at Tuesday's American Eagle party, Leighton kept things prim and proper as she got into character as Blair Waldorf. You guys aren't quite sure what to make of Leighton's tendencies to strip down when she goes into musical mode, but she's not the only Upper East Sider who likes to show a bit of skin.

Leighton, Ashlee and Jessica Show Their American Eagle Pride

PopSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:30:47 -0800

A handful of starlets hit the red carpet last night to celebrate the grand opening of America Eagle's new flagship store in NYC. The Gossip Girl crowd was well-represented, with Leighton Meester cozying up to Michelle Trachtenberg and Jessica Szohr. Adrian Grenier, Pete Wentz, and Ashlee Simpson were also out to browse the offerings at the new space in Times Square. Ashlee was able to see Pete man the DJ booth between rehearsals for Chicago, and her sister Jessica is getting "chillibumps" just thinking about Ash's Broadway debut.

Pete wasn't the evening's only entertainment - Leighton Meester donned a pair of kaleidoscopic leggings to perform four songs, including her single, "Somebody to Love." You guys aren't sure what to make of Leighton's racier styles, but she really threw her all into the performance. Good things seem to be happening for American Eagle, and it looks like they've already recruited more than a few famous fans.

More photos of Leighton, Michelle, Adrian, Pete and others at the American Eagle flagship store opening so read more.

Leighton Meester Strips Down For GQ - Super Sexy or Too Much?

Molly — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:30:30 -0800

Leighton Meester shows off her racy side for the upcoming December issue of GQ, though exclusive video of her shoot will be online Friday before the issue hits newsstands on November 24. We've seen Leighton go scantily clad for her latest music video, but it's still a jolt to see the same actress who plays buttoned-up Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl looking so different. Leighton may understandably be trying to change her image as she embarks on a solo singing career, but tell us what you think - is this super sexy or too much?

Leighton Meester's "Somebody to Love" Video - Silly or Steamy?

PopSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:00:00 -0800

Leighton Meester is apparently focusing hard on her singing career with special performances and new singles. You guys are already loving her song "Somebody to Love," and she just released a video that shows her scantily-clad and hitting clubs and hotel rooms with costar Robin Thicke. It's a little confusing to see Leighton as both buttoned-up Blair on Gossip Girl and as a slightly risqué singer, so check out the video below and tell us - is Leighton's video for "Somebody to Love" silly or steamy?

Leighton and Olivia Step Out Confidently For Gossip Girl Style

Leighton Meester posed in a punchy dress with her former costar Nicole Fiscella and Olivia Palermo in NYC last night at the launch party for You Know You Want It: Style-Inspiration-Confidence, a book written by Gossip Girl's costume designer Eric Daman. Leighton supported the man who puts her in so many fabulous clothes, which she was once again showing off on the set yesterday with Ed Westwick and a surprising reappearing costar. She, Olivia, and Nicole all looked fantastic on the red carpet and inside the party, so maybe they learned a thing or two from the book they were out to help promote. We caught up with Eric earlier this week at the ACE Awards, where he shared a little about dressing the show's stars:

On who's most enthusiastic about their wardrobes: "Everyone goes with the flow. Blake has a little more opinions on it, because she's very body-conscious and knows what looks great on her. She's been in front of the cameras long enough to be able to say, 'This would be better if it was a half inch shorter' - which is great. It's a dream as a costume designer to have someone, who's like, 'Lets do this!'"
On dressing the guys: "The guys are pretty into it. The guys just want to look good when it comes down to it, which is pretty easy. Chuck/Ed is really into it - he really likes to look amazing and he has been one of my favorites from day one. To be able to play with menswear in the way that we do and pioneer that men get to dress better, and that it's OK to wear a bow tie and a pink shirt and not be too gay about it."

Chuck and Blair Get a Visit From an Unlikely Familiar Face

Molly — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:00:00 -0800

Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester were decked out in chic Winter wear on the NYC set of Gossip Girl yesterday. Joining them was a familiar but unexpected face - if you're curious, check out who it is after the jump. At the moment, the show has its hands full with a bigger controversy - The Parents Television Council is up in arms about next week's threesome episode, which will apparently extend into the week after too. The show is all about pushing the boundaries, but we'll have to wait and see whether this scene lives up to the hype, assuming it makes it on the air at all.

Leighton Meester Gives Her Vocal Chords a Night Off

PopSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:00:36 -0800

Leighton Meester and boyfriend Sebastian Stan were side by side as they arrived together at a benefit for the NYC Public Library last night. The duo doesn't appear in public together often, but we've see a great deal of them both this season on Gossip Girl. Sebastian's character Carter is off the series for now, so he wasn't on last night's WTF moment-filled episode, though it did feature the usual tech, fashion, and beauty fun. Leighton has been busy off screen focusing on her music, including her weekend fun onstage with Weezer, and we'll soon get to see the video for her crowd-pleasing first single when it comes out next week.
