Leighton Meester is now throwing her incredibly stylish hat into the
music ring. The queen bee of Gossip Girl's Upper East Side announced
at New York's Fashion Week that she will be recording and releasing an
album, reports Access Hollywood. Meester has always enjoyed making
music, but this time around, she wants the public to hear her work as
well.
The budding fashionista told Access, "It's so cool because it's a
completely different creative process," than television. Meester
enthused, "From beginning to end it's yours and you make it... You can
see the finished product."
Perhaps her role as teen pop star Justine Chapman on Entourage inspired
her to bust out her first album. Either way, you can be sure many a
Blair-wannabe will pick up her album and blog their little hearts out
about its merits - or lack thereof.
Meester will also be appearing alongside Gossip costar Blake Lively on
NBC's 30 Rock, as well as reprising her role as Justine on Entourage
this Sunday, Sept. 14 at 10 pm/ET on HBO. - Erin Fox
