Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester celebrates birthday

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) celebrated her 23rd birthday on Thursday, April 9.

Jimmy Fallon gave her an early birthday surprise about a week ago when she was a guest on his show.

How much you wanna bet she spent her birthday with boyfriend Sebastian Stan (Gossip Girl’s occasionally guest star Carter who now plays on NBC’s Kings)?

Speaking of her birthday, Leighton is really into music and is working on releasing an album. One of her songs “Birthday” was leaked to the Internet. Click her to listen to her techno-pop single.

At the moment, Blair Waldorf is my favorite female character on Gossip Girl. Of course, Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) is my favorite male lead.

There are many reasons I love Blair — she has the most brilliant lines, great wardrobe, awesome headbands and can be the most bitchy girl ever! And with Chuck, she’s pure magic.

Of course, right now she’s with Nate. Check out this sneak peek of Gossip Girl’s April 20 episode. Looks like Blair’s hopes of going to Yale haven’t disappeared quite yet.
