GOSSIP GIRL – Season Two: Leighton Meester Talks About Cast Conflicts!

OMG! On September 1st, Gossip Girl will premiere. The second season is guaranteed to be even sexier than season one.  leighton.jpg

LA Times Report:

When the pilot debuted last fall, the buzz around “Gossip Girl” was inescapable, as was the criticism. Parental watch groups narrowed in on the show’s depictions of underage drinking and teenage sex. It continued post-writers’ strike when the steamy “OMG” ad campaign launched.“When people say the show glamorizes teen drinking and sex, they aren’t really watching the episodes,” Savage said. “Not all the characters drink or have sex, and when they do, it’s always put in a context. Behaviors are rooted in character. There’s decision-making, regret and consequences involved.”

Rumors have been swirling around Leighton Meester, she’s stoned on set, fighting with fellow cast member Blake Lively, and all kinds of crazy stuff. In a recent interview with Salon, she tries to set the record straight.

Salon.com interview: 

There are reports of you getting stoned in restaurants and of fights on set — is there anything that’s popped up online that’s really pissed you off?

Not really. I’m disappointed and unhappy when I have to hear people saying stuff about Blake [Lively] and me fighting in real life. I think that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Because we’re not fighting in real life. And you just want to go to that person and just be like, “You’re an idiot, you don’t know.” But you can’t really, because people are going to say whatever they say.

Meester, whose previous credits include “Entourage” and “Seventh Heaven,” brings a finely tuned bitchiness to her character, which may be an extension of her true personality. She’s reported to be extra diva like to reporters, and definitely adds a buzz factor to the show.

Gossip Girl will premiere Monday night on the CW. Stay tuned!
