Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) is featured in the June 2009 edition of Cosmopolitan wearing a beautiful short deep fushia-colored dress.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at her Cosmopolitan photoshoot:
Leighton Meester said she was thrilled to do the Cosmopolitan cover for obvious reasons:
“I get to tell my parents that I’m doing it it so they’re very proud of me,” Leighton says in the video. “Cosmo stands for a very confident woman – just sort of shaped how I look at being a woman – independent woman – in life.”
In the behind-the-scenes photo shoot video, Leighton compares music and acting, saying music isn’t as challenging as acting, but it is more emotional.
“When you’re singing it’s a lot of internal things. It’s like showing your diary,” Leighton said.
Some of her music influences include Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Fergie and MIA. She says her album, being produced by Universal Republic and expected out this fall, is electric, pop, edge and dance.
Leighton Meester was featured on the recent release of Cobra Starship’s “Good Girls Go Bad.”
With her music release coming out soon, Leighton Meester is now more visible online – here’s her official Twitter, and MySpace and Music pages.
