Most of us know her as the devious Blair Waldorf on the hit show “Gossip Girl,” but Leighton Meester proved to be quite the talented actress in her latest movie “Country Strong". The 24-year-old recently sat down with MTV News and explained that, although she’s not even a country singer, she worked closely with her very own music producer to perfect her role as a country singing beauty queen.

Logging another long day’s work, Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester were spotted shooting a few scenes for “Gossip Girl” in NYC on Thursday.

The always well-dressed co-stars visited a homeless shelter during the day’s outing, having a few laughs in between the Big Apple shoot.

Meanwhile, Leighton and Ed’s hit CW show has come under the gun – as the Parents Television Council are upset over a soon-to-be-aired “Gossip Girl” threesome scene.

Deeming the racy footage to be aired on Monday “reckless and irresponsible,” the group released the following statement: “Will you now be complicit in establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers should engage in behaviors heretofore associated primarily with adult films?”

Taking a break from acting duties, Leighton Meester was spotted out for the happenings of New York Fashion Week on Wednesday afternoon (September 16).

The Blair Waldorf babe made her way to the Phillip Lim fashion show, posing backstage for pictures after getting a look at the latest offerings from the popular designer.

Aside from her fashionable endeavors, Miss Meester has been hard at work on the set of her hit CW show, “Gossip Girl”.

Recently telling that she knew acting would be her passion at an early age, Leighton told Cosmo: “I watched a lot of TV, and it clicked one day that these people were acting. It sounded like the most fun thing ever.”
