She's totally fab, agreed? She's gorgeous, a good actress (Blair Waldorf, fierce bitch extraordinaire, is one of my favorite characters on TV at the current moment), and from what I hear, can also sing. She has an album on the way, which I'm rather curious to hear.

Anyone else feeling the Leighton love?

I love her too, but I listened to a song she sang, and ... well, she's got a nice voice, but the song itself was too strange !!

Do you mean that "Bette Davis Eyes" song? I've heard that was just a demo and (hopefully!) not representative of the type of music she'd actually be putting out.

I just picked up the latest issue of "Us Weekly" on my break - normally I wouldn't pay for that trash, but the cover story is Leighton talking about her rocky childhood. I was pretty shocked when I first heard about it, so I'm curious to read her side of the story. I need to be done working so I can go read it! lol

I think it was this one yeah ! That sucked !

I read things about her childhood too ... Pretty sad ...

Yeah, I definitely wasn't digging her cover of "Bette Davis Eyes." (For anyone who hasn't heard it and would like to, it's here.) Hopefully the stuff she actually releases will be a lot better!

I can scan the Us Weekly article for you later if you're interested?

that would be very kind ! would you allow me to send it too one of my friend too ? she's just as fond of Leighton as we are of Danneel :unsure:

That would be fine. I'll just post it here and you can link to it or email it or whatever.

thanks ! she'll be happy !!

I like Leighton, I think she has a lot more on screen charisma than Blake Lively. (not that I really dislike Blake or anything. But she just doesn't seem as talented as Leighton).

I agree. Blake seems like a great person otherwise, but isn't worth much as an actress in my personal opinion. She's way overrated - where's the Leighton love?

Sorry I didn't get to scan the article last night - I definitely will tonight!

As promised, here are those Us Weekly scans...

oh thanksssssssssssss

LOL... Ever since a couple of months ago, dorien's been bugging me because "Everywhere I look is Leighton Meester"..

I just told her to add this to the checklist :hyper: :laugh:

that's true ! GG cast is everywhere ! Blake even made a photoshoot in Paris with French "rock" band BB Brunes

Mwahaha. You know you love her... xoxo... j/k. Anyway, Blake is totally over-rated. Leighton is where it's at.

And now I kind of feel the need to apologize, because I found out shortly after posting this article that it was largely fabricated by the magazine. <_< The backstory on Leighton's family is true, but they made it seem like she did some exclusive, sit-down interview with them, which she said is definitely not true. Sneaky bastards. Wish I'd known that before I gave them my $3.99. :grr:

Stupid media :ermm:

yo :laugh:

Today is her 23rd birthday. Happy birthday Leighton! :wub:

Happy Birthday, Leighton!



^ How cute was that? lol

Aaaaaw! :wub: So cute!

Super cute, I wish someone would surprise me like that on my next birthday =D

^_^ ;)



I think she's very pretty, too :rolleyes: And it's funny, I didn't know a celebrity who is her age until I heard she turned 23 xD

Leighton Meester singing 'Bette Davis Eyes'

Like her voice, hate that song. I'm looking forward to her album!

I like Bette Davis eyes. :P But it suld incomplete, maybe I would like it better with a different background.

Did you check out her latest one? Well, Cobra starship's "Good girls go bad", where she's featured? Not my style, but I like it. :D

Yeah, "Bette Davis Eyes" was just a demo, not a completed track.

And I haven't had a chance to hear the full version of Good Girls Go Bad just yet, but am downloading it from iTunes as I type this...

Short interview of yesterday night at a radio. She sounds so cute. :wub: I awed at the end. :laugh: I want the video now. u_u

Could you girls do that for me on my birthday? Get a big crowd of people to do that and lots of balloons falling from the ceiling!!! :hyper:

sure, no problem :pervy:

Thanks for sharing it, I'll check it out later.

They didn't have the balls to ask her about you-know-what, did they? :ermm:

They didn't ask anything or mentioned the thing directly but they did said that they wish she would kick some asses and that they support her.

Anyway I heard that she called also the night before but there's not material for now as far as I know.

Aww, good. She must absolutely dread doing any kind of press/promo at the moment, because you know somebody's going to go there...

Errata corrige, she called again cause they had to cancel, I re-listening right now. :D

The video for Good girls fo bad came out today, I like it! I watched it at least 5 times. Lol... When her album will be realised I guess I'll buy it just because it's her, even if I have the feeling that I won't particullary like it, not my style. I'm sucha fangirl sometimes... :rolleyes

Edit

Does this dress look familiar to you? :P

Body control!, one of Leighton's song!

As predicted, it's not my thing, but I kinda like it.


Oh... and I LOVE the Good girls go bad video, I don't know how many times I watched it the first two days. :D

As Paula requested, here's the link for the vma promo featuring Cobra Starship and Leighton.
I love it!
Tonight!

I happened upon that Cobra Starship video on MTV or something when I was about to get in bed a few nights ago, very catchy song, and I like Leighton, both in the video and her singing on it. :) So catchy, I wound up having to buy the CD.

Yeah, the song is catchy, and usually I'm not a fan of videos (I get bored after the first time) but I love the one for GGGB, it's so funny! I love their silly dancing moves, and how the vocalist acts while singing. :laugh:

Leighton has a nice voice, it's too bad that her songs seems to be so elettro-pop, the effects kind of kill it.

Oh, and I listened to the album. I like it, they're all fun and catchy (I know I've already used these words, but they sums it up, lol). I would listen to some of them before buying it, just in case. :D
Someday I'm going to buy tons of album through the net, most of the music I like doesn't even arrive here. (Some of my friends where shocked when they say Daughtry's album in a store, and rightly so.)

Hah, thank you! (Sorry, super delayed response on my part.)

I actually finally saw this on TV the other night. I so rarely watch MTV - I don't even remember what I was watching then. lol

If you haven't seen it, the full version with everyone is here:

First of all..I LOVE that song LOL

Second of all I <3 Leighton on Gossip Girl. I just watched the Prom one again..and her performance when she breaks up with Nate made my heart break a little. He just looked so....sad.

I saw it! I might be biased but the only parts I like are the Cobra Starship and Ne-Yo ones (even if they don't sound good mixed together). Taylor Swifth and Katie Perry sound weird.

KandyKissesInc the prom parts are the only ones I cared about the episode, I loved Blair's dress. <3 As for Nate... he probably hooked up with some other girl that same night. :P Oh, actually I thought they were kinda cute in those episode, I could see why Blair wpuld want to be with him, she said it herself that Nate was refreshing after all the Chuck drama.
