I?ve always liked Leighton Meester. She seems very real to me, as in she?s a celebrity who genuinely seems grounded and authentic. She doesn?t seem to go in for celebrity-fads, whether it?s dieting or exercise or fashion or steam-cleaning one?s va-jayjay. In a new interview with Byrdie, Leighton talked politics, sexism, diets and? whether or not she would ever try Gwyneth Paltrow?s recommendation for a V-steam. You can read the full piece here at Byrdie. Some highlights:
The political mood: ?I feel like every time I open my phone and look at the news or listen to the radio, it?s about really sad, depressing things? It?s a crazy time. Sometimes it?s challenging having the news on constantly, but at least we can see for ourselves what?s going on.?
Women?s rights & the environment: ?The thing that gets all the attention is ?women?s right are humans rights,? and that?s certainly a true statement. Maybe some people are mistaken that sexism is gone and that women are treated equally, but we?re not. ? That said, I do think people will fight for [those] rights. I?m not saying we should take these issues for granted. But I think what can?t be as easily defended is the environment, and people are doing irreparable damage. ? It?s pretty unbelievable that there are people out there who don?t think so. They just ignore the facts, and that?s pretty scary. Four years: Maybe we don?t have that long.?
Her diet: ?I?m never hard on myself when it comes to what I?m eating. I usually just go with my gut ? what I want, what I feel like, and what?s easy. To get through the day, I usually need to give myself little treats. So I?ll eat chocolate, or I?ll drink coffee. When I go to bed, I?m excited about coffee in the morning.?
When asked if she would ever V-steam: ?What?! What is that?? When it?s explained to Leighton that Goop claims the V-steam ?balances female hormone levels,? Meester is genuinely horrified. ?I personally don?t feel like you should be adding anything into your vagina?it?s self-cleaning,? she says, deadpan. ?We?re fine; I?m going to say neither on the vag steam.?
On Goop?s ?grapefruit diet? and bee-sting therapy: ?I don?t know what that is either,? she says of Paltrow?s other favorite treatment, which involves the use of bee venom to reduce inflammation and scarring on the face. ?That sounds like something from My Strange Addiction. It just doesn?t seem right.?
[From Byrdie]
Some sites are using Leighton?s quotes as some kind of celebrity-beef, like Leighton vs. Gwyneth. I don?t think Leighton gives a sh-t about Gwyneth. I think Leighton was asked about V-steams and she just gave her opinion, which is that they are absolutely absurd. That?s the normal reaction across the board to Gwyneth?s promotions of ridiculous fake science. As for what Leighton says about politics? I get what she?s trying to say and I understand that she was trying to frame her statement the right way. She?s not saying sexism and women?s rights are unimportant, she?s just hoping that people can get behind fighting for the environment in a similar way. We can care about many issues all at once and I think she?s saying we should care about all of these things at once.

My favorite undercover couple, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, had a baby girl recently. At first US Weekly ran this story only with the confirmation that they had their baby last week. These two are very guarded about their private life, to the point where they’ve never confirmed their relationship despite the fact that they were secretly married in 2014. Well now we have confirmation from TMZ that their baby was a girl and that they named her Arlo. Arlo. Um… maybe that’s why they didn’t confirm the name. You can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant. What’s more is that TMZ got the birth certificate and baby Arlo was actually born eight weeks ago.
According to the birth certificate obtained by TMZ, Meester gave birth to a girl on August 4 … not last week, as has been reported.
The girl’s name is Arlo Day and she was born just after midnight at a hospital located about 30 miles away from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the usual celebrity hospital of choice.
[From TMZ]
Day is kind of a cute middle name. It’s quirky but not stigmatizing, but Arlo? All I can think of is Arlo Guthrie. As Kaiser said to me, maybe this is a family name though. Congratulations to Leighton and Adam on their new arrival! I know we’re not going to be seeing pics anytime soon, but one can always hope.

Leighton Meester has been married to Adam Brody since last February after a low-key engagement. She leads a drama-free public existence. But since Leighton’s making the move from acting to music, some of her lyrics will inevitably reflect life. She hasn’t pulled a full-on Taylor Swift, but Leighton previously admitted to Us Weekly that her album (Heartstrings) was inspired by a “stupid breakup.”
Leighton recorded the album after a few years had passed, which gave her perspective. Whereas at the time, she felt like “Screw you, I don’t care about you anymore, and it’s not going to happen! Joker.” That little detail at the end makes me believe Leighton was talking about Sebastian Stan. They hooked up during Gossip Girl, and Seb is known to be very obsessed with Jack Nicholson and The Joker. When these two broke up, the gossip genie spread the word that Leighton did the dumping. In a new interview with Vanessa Bayer (SNL), Leighton reveals that she has always been the dumper, never the dumpee:
When it comes to love, Leighton Meester has never been given the ax.
While chatting with Vanessa Bayer in a funny edition of Sound Advice, the former Gossip Girl star shared the not-so-shocking dating tidbit.
“I?ve never really been dumped, I guess, but I?ve been hurt,” she tells outlandish media coach Janessa Slater, played by Bayer. “Not really, but the more heartbreaking thing is I?ve just stuck it out for a really long time.”
However, Slater hasn?t had the same luck when it comes to dating men.
“People have pulled on my heartstrings and I know what that?s like and it?s just hard for me to believe people have ever pulled on yours,” Slater suggested. “I tend to think that women who are naturally beautiful don?t experience life.”
[From Page Six
I don't really "get" Bayer/Slater's interview style (it seems so awkward, not funny as intended). You can watch the interview here though. Do you buy that Leighton has never been dumped? It's pretty important to experience both the dumper and dumpee perspectives in life. But if no one ever dumps you, it's hard to get the ball rolling in that direction. Yes, it is a little humblebraggy to talk about never being dumped.
Leighton does recognize that she's stayed in certain relationships too long, past the point of happiness. Is that worse than getting dumped? I think it's tragic to keep wasting time when you know a coupling isn't working. Leighton seems really happy with Adam Brody now, but I'm still a Sebastian fangirl. Any excuse to post photos of him will do.

She loves working on all kinds of projects and last night (March 18) Leighton Meester was busy promoting ?Like Sunday, Like Rain? at Laemmle?s Town Center 5 in Encino, California.
Joined by director Frank Whaley, the ?Gossip Girl? starlet was gorgeous in a shimmery metallic trousers teamed with a satin white top.
Meester told Paste, ?This was a very intimate setting, with the film being so small and just centered around two people. It was very quiet. It was very close-knit. It really started out with just being able to relate to each other, especially on that level. It sticks around characters and their relationships and interactions. It?s not high-concept, necessarily; it?s just about human relationships, which is my favorite thing to watch and portray.?

Showing off her singer/songwriter side, Leighton Meester showed up on stage at the Hotel Caf in Hollywood last night (January 13).
The ?Gossip Girl? starlet grabbed her Taylor acoustic guitar and sang her heart out while fans and shutterbugs cheered her on.
When asked about how she writes her songs, Leighton told press, "Weirdly, it works best when I'm really busy. That's when it's a really welcome distraction. I often write on set, in the changing room or in my hotel room.?
?I'm especially creative at night - the ideas just come spilling out. It doesn't work the other way around: when I sit down to write in a moment of peace and quiet, I just go blank and get writers' block."

| | Leighton Meester: 'All people should' publicly self-identify as feminists | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

In the spring and summer of 2014, Leighton Meester starred in the Broadway revival of Of Mice and Men with Chris O?Dowd and James Franco. The show was well-received. One of the most interesting pieces of news to come out of it was this HuffPo essay that Leighton wrote about her character, the only woman in the play, identified only as Curly?s Wife. Leighton?s examination of her character reads as a feminist critique, and a well-researched one at that (she references letters written, decades ago, by John Steinbeck to an actress playing the part). I?ve always liked Leighton and wanted good things for her, and it?s always bothered me that Blake Lively came out of Gossip Girl with the bigger career/buzz. And you know what will help Leighton? The fact that she?s so smart and she?s thought about the politics of being a woman a little bit more than ?I like to cook, thus I cannot be a feminist.?
Wonder if Leighton Meester read Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting’s Redbook interview? The former Gossip Girl star is no stranger to the topic of feminism?after all, she wrote an op-ed piece for The Huffington Post over the summer titled “I’m Not a Tart: The Feminist Subtext of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.”
So when asked whether or not she considers herself a feminist during a recent interview with radio station B-93.7?s Broadway’s Electric Barnyard, Meester didn’t skip a breath before responding, “Yeah, it shouldn’t be some sort of sensational news item,” and added, “It’s something that I think all people should say about themselves.”
When she wasn’t discussing feminism, Meester answered a question that is probably on every Gossip Girl fan’s mind?is a reunion ever going to happen?! She was quick to answer this one, too, and unfortunately, her one-word reply was, “Nope.”
[From E! News]
Word. Leighton?s comments came just after the news cycle about Kaley Cuoco, so obviously, people are like ?OMG Leighton is throwing shade at Kaley!? I don?t think Leighton is being that specific about it though and it?s not like Kaley is the only vapid fool saying dumb crap about feminism these days.
Anyway, I love Leighton. She?s very matter-of-fact and no-nonsense. She seems very cool.

Here is Leighton Meester wowing on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere for her new flick Life Partners. Leighton displayed a bit of her midriff wearing the Cushnie Et Ochs key-hole design that hugged every bit of her curves.
Life Partners follows two codependent best friends ? one straight girl, one lesbian ? and the man who comes between them.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Leighton Meester, and turns out, she cleans up good when she’s not too busy dressing like a lame hipster. Anyway, here she is with Gillian Jacobs at the premiere of their new movie Life Partners, which I’m hoping is a feature-length version of the lesbian fantasy I just […]

Here is Leighton Meester appearing at the premiere of The Judge in her new flick dressed in a satin paneled dress from Balmain?s Resort 2015 collection.
Leighton wrapped up her Broadway run in the summer. She?s completed a couple of other film projects and is also still doing some television. But I feel like her rank on the celebrity scale is? not as high as it should be?

We’ve covered Adam Brody and Leighton Meester’s relationship exactly two other times: when we first heard that they were dating, about a year ago, and when we heard that they were engaged, last November. That’s not for lack of interest, they’re TV stars who were big players on popular shows, and they’ve both crossed over into film, which is how they met, on the set of 2011?s The Oranges. The lack of coverage is because they’ve played it very low key throughout their relationship, to the point that the press has had to dig to even learn that they actually got married. I love this. E! Online has the most details, which are still scant, and it’s worth noting that neither has publicly confirmed their relationship, engagement, nor marriage. Sources are telling the celebrity outlets that it’s true, though.
Leighton Meester married Adam Brody in a secret wedding ceremony, E! News confirms.
The TV stars were most recently seen relaxing at Mexico’s St. Regis Punta Mita Resort from Feb. 12-15, just weeks after Meester reportedly had her bachelorette party at West Hollywood restaurant Hamburger Mary’s.
The 27-year-old Gossip Girl star and the 34-year-old O.C. actor got engaged in November, just nine months after it was first revealed that they were an item. The famously private pair, who met on the set of 2011?s The Oranges, have never officially confirmed they were a couple, nor did they confirm their engagement…
Meester makes her Broadway debut in Of Mice and Men this spring. Brody, meanwhile, next appears in the movie Think Like a Man Too. The newlyweds are both slated to star in the comedy Life Partners.
Us Weekly first reported the news of Meester and Brody’s hush-hush marriage.
[From E! Online]
Did they have a destination wedding, I wonder, or was the Mexico jaunt their honeymoon? I also wonder who was at the ceremony, if they invited a few friends or family, or if they eloped and told everyone afterwards. Either way, it sounds romantic.
Here’s a fan photo taken of Adam in the airport this weekend wearing a wedding ring. People reports that there has been no official confirmation that Adam and Leighton are married, and I bet we won’t get one. Maybe they’ll attend a premiere together at some point, but they’ve certainly played it close to the vest so far. Congratulations to Adam and Leighton!
These pics are of Adam and Leighton walking their dogs together in December. Their dogs are named Penny Lane and Trudy. Other photos of Adam and Leighton are from June, 2013.
