I found this article about Leighton in a magazine and I thought I'd add it!
Leighton Loves:
Writing poems:
"Writing poetry is one of my favourite things to do and I always find time for it. There are things that I write about most that are just kind of like everyday thoughts and things that comes into my mind"
On set on "Gossip Girl":
"Everyone has their dog on the set of "Gossip Girl". We have a trailer and on the actual stages we have a make-up room and the dogs hang there. There are like six or seven dogs at a time"
Gossip Girl fashion:
"I love the costumes (on GG)! Whenever I'm getting ready to go on set and I'm in the full outfit, thats when I feel like I'm truly the character. I love the school uniform and of course, headbands are always in style"
"I've had a bunch of different haircolours. It started off brown, then I did red, then I got really, really blonde! People say blondes have more fun but I don't think its about your hair. I say its the person who has the fun!"

Leighton Meester is ready to go from Gossip Girl to pop princess: The actress has inked a record deal with Universal Republic Records to release her debut album this fall.
"I'm thrilled to be welcomed into the Universal Republic fold," Meester said in a statement to Billboard. "Their reputation for nurturing artists, combined with a willingness to break new ground, makes it the ultimate environment for me to enjoy making music and explore my own creative boundaries."
The 23-year-old has been laying down tracks since March for an album with an "electro-pop edge." She's working with producers Polow Da Don (Usher, Fergie), Harvey Mason Jr. (Justin Timberlake, Pink) and Spencer Nezey (Jupiter Rising).
Meester already has some experience in the music biz — sort of: She recurs as virginal pop star, Justine Chapin, on Entourage.
Will you buy Meester's music?
(Of course!!!)

Leighton Meester understands that being on a buzzed-about show like Gossip Girl automatically puts her in the spotlight – but she doesn't have to like it.
"I don't want most of what comes along with all of this," says the star in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, likely referring to one thing in particular.
One downside of fame? The rumored Leighton Meester sex tape.
"[The tape] is not real, so it makes me sort of sad," says the 23-year-old Gossip Girl starlet. "It's unfortunate that it got carried as far as it did."
Meester says the rumor taught her some lessons about life.
"I definitely understand the nature of people better now and that the mere allegation of something like that could be headline news," she laments.
"People think it's real because somebody says it is."
Fortunately, Leighton Meester star has friends who watch out for her.
"I feel like my friends are in a cult because we're like, 'No outsiders!'" Meester says. "I’ve never been crazy. I'm a very good girl, to be honest. I don't do anything that would hurt anybody. Honestly, all I ever do...
