Leighton Meester (Blair from Gossip Girl) has just signed on to be in the movie, The Roommate. It’s something about college. This is pretty fresh. Not only this and Gossip Girl, but she may also appear in a movie opposite Zac Efron. A modern day Beauty and the Beast deal called Beastly. I’d watch it. This all has to happen around Gossip Girl shootings. Should be fun. Looking forward to more work from this girl. Hokai!

Here’s something to make you love Leighton Meester (plays Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl). I chose some of my favorite questions and answers. I really love her outlook on life. I totally see eye to eye. Enjoy and make sure you check out the March 2009 issue of Seventeen magazine for more! BTW, doesn’t she look gorgeous/so cute?

How open were your parents with you about their past?
It wasn’t like a topic of conversation usually–but I was aware of it. There was never any reason to feel ashamed of it or be secretive–I never thought it was that crazy. But half of what people know, they can’t understand because they don’t know the circumstances. My mom’s such an incredible woman–she’s gone through a lot. And all of this has made us the type of people who appreciate what we have. It’s made our family pretty strong.

What do you think you’ve learned from your parents’ mistakes?
It made me realize that you can’t judge anyone–especially your parents–for what they’ve done in their past, because people change. I’ve noticed some people get very enthralled with people bashing. Sometimes people can’t help themselves. But I find a way to back out and not talk about other people. Even when people are so judgemental about what you wear or your weight, you just have to step away and be like, I’m a normal, fine human being.

Did you ever get a little wild in high school?
No. I mean, there were drugs and stuff, but everybody who I was friends with didn’t do it, so I wasn’t even around it. High school was me being a dork and studying. I only went there until my junior year–then I just dropped out and didn’t go back for my last year. But I had already gotten my diploma.

Why didn’t you finish high school?
I was very passionate about pursuing my acting career, as opposed to the daily routine of high school, which bored me to death. It was a chore–I wasn’t in any after-school clubs. The only thing I did after school was go to auditions.

Who’s the leader of your castmates?
We’re all very close. I guess Blake would be more of the planner. She’s very maternal. I’ll just go where the other guys are going–I just go with the flow.

Do you have a big group of friends?
I have a very small group of friends. I don’t want to have a friend unless I can call them one of my best friends. I want somebody to be really close and cool. I want friends who are kind of like me, who go with the flow and like to have fun. I think it’s important to trust your friends. It’s especially hard in this business when you know that people are not always who they seem.

Are you the kind of person who always has a boyfriend?
I haven’t ever really relied on relationships with guys. I’ve only ever really been with a couple of them. They come around and it’s cool, but it’s never been a big thing. I guess I’ve just been really distracted by work.

Have you ever had your heart broken?
Definitely. But a lot of times, you’re breaking your own heart. I think women have a sense about things–it’s like when I’ve ever been with somebody who lied to me. There comes a point when you’re lying to yourself [by staying with a guy like that]. It’s not like he’s going to stop. But all of this has made me grow up in the way that I look at guys and love. It made me realize what kind of person I am. Now I have certain requirements.

What are your requirements?
I need to live my life. I want to experience a lot and don’t want to have to be tied down. If somebody can join me on that, then that’s great. But I want to do so many things–and maybe someday a lot of it will be impossible, but right now I don’t see the impossible.

Don’t you just love Blair and Dorota together on Gossip Girl? It totally reminds me of Karen and Rosario from Will & Grace. Anyway, these are just some pictures from an upcoming episode. Doesn’t Blair look wonderful (what else is new)?

Here’s the schedule for the upcoming Gossip Girl episodes.

So I totally need to catch up on Gossip Girl. I’m like 2 or 3 episodes behind this season. Here’s a recent picture of Leighton Meester and Chace Crawford looking genuinely happy (show outtake? lol). Oh and I love the snow
