As it turns out, Blair Waldorf and Leighton Meester probably wouldn’t be BFFs in real life.While the Gossip Girl actress’s character is known for her designer wardrobe and flawless beauty, in real life, Meester couldn’t care less about keeping up with the trends or taming her tresses.

“I’m not super OCD when it comes to every little flyaway,” Meester told PEOPLE. “I like being a little undone.”

And while the 24-year-old star recently became global spokeswoman for hair care brand Herbal Essences, she wouldn’t hesitate to chop off her signature long locks if for the right role. “I know it’s just hair and I can change it however I want. I haven’t shaved my head or anything like that. But, you know if I needed to! It’s part of my job to change my hair.”

For Meester, embracing change is part of her routine, admitting to “playing a part” when she’s on a red carpet. And she turns to her dream team, including makeup artist Chris Colbeck and hairstylist Charles Baker Strahan, to help create her image. “It’s all about individuality and making a big statement. I leave it to the pros, they’re artists. I’ll be like, ‘just do your thing.’”

Britney Spears gets personal in the August 2010 edition of Cosmopolitan Magazine.

On the pages of the style mag, the 28-year-old pop princess sharing her thoughts on family, career, and beauty: “I’ve been spending a lot of time at home with my boys (4-year-old Sean Preston and 3-year-old Jayden James). They just started karate class, which is super cute!”

Britney who has had a crazy ride acting and singing since she began on Disney’s The Mouseketeers back in the 90’s  admitted she would never allow her sons to follow her path: “If my sons told me they wanted to be in the entertainment business, I’d: lock them in their rooms until they turned 30.” Even more though, she hopes they avoid other questions, . “I’m dreading the moment when my sons ask me: how babies are made.”

Although her sons have to rule out acting and singing, Britney still wants to act herself.  “The TV show I’d most love to make a cameo on is: Gossip Girl. (Josh Schwartz, make it happen!!!)”

We’d LOVE to see Britney on Gossip Girl also, wouldn’t you?

 ‘Gossip Girl’ actor Ed Westwick never turns up to the set of the drama wearing pants because he feels “more comfortable” without them, so raids the wardrobe of his character Chuck Bass if producers make him wear undergarments.

He stated: “I show up without it and have to put it on. I don’t usually wear underwear. It’s more comfortable and free to air it all out.”

The 22-year-old hunk – who has been dating co-star Jessica Szohr since 2008 – also admitted that despite working long hours, he is never too tired to have sex.

He said: “Sleep or sex? Sex, man. Straight up. Sex, then sleep. I’ve got a great appetite for um, everything.”

Ed has previously claimed he would have sex in public to dispel rumours he is gay.

He said: “I made out with a girl in public. Maybe I need to have sex in public with a woman.

“That one’s still on the list. Still haven’t ticked that one off. Well, I have, but they haven’t seen me. Not George Michael public.”



Ed Westwick Moving On From Co-Star Girlfriend?

Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick has reportedly found himself another TV beauty following his split from co-star Jessica Szohr, being linked to 90210’s Annalynne McCord.

The star’s long term relationship with Szohr reportedly came to an end last month, and Westwick appears to have put the break-up behind him after he was seen partying with McCord in New York.

A source tells the New York Daily News, “They went to a Prada event first, and then showed up to the Express and Vogue party together. He blew her a kiss at one point, and everyone in the room saw.”

Earlier this month, a rep for Szohr was forced to deny rumours she had embarked on a new romance, after she was said to have struck up a relationship with another actor, Richard Reid.

“It’s an expensive habit,” Chace laughs. “It’s an expensive raccoon thing. She rocks the look, though, I guess.”

But is there any hope for Jenny and Nate? Chace admits: “I always thought [Nate and Jenny] was a little weird. There’s the age gap, she’s still in high school…”

 “[Serena’s] got some issues,” Chace admits. “[But] you’re the next one because you’re the Nate girl. You got the flowers, right? And the wine and all that? Just making sure. I’ve been hitting you up for awhile, no response.”

The Gossip Girl finale was the stuff of shocker legend, and Chace hints that it may propel Nate into a darker place for the coming season.

That may be where they’re going,” Chace says. “It’d be fun to play. Who knows, maybe I’ll be the one getting shot next year.”



Gossip Girl To Bring New Spins On Show

I guess it’s “really, really, good” isn’t much of a spoiler. But it’s accurate.

The May 17 Gossip Girl sendoff features big payoffs, several OMG! twists, and a Georgina comeback. Enough, if you ask me, to more than make up for an uneven season. Most importantly, Chuck/Blair fans freaking out over a certain spoiler-laced European trailer that shows the couple nearing third base should simmer down and judge things after watching the entire hour — a sentiment echoed by exec producer Stephanie Savage.
“I really encourage people who have seen that promo to tune in and watch the whole episode in context,” she pleads. “Those were a few moments that were taken out of context to create the most salacious experience possible. And some people who are having a negative reaction to what they’re seeing I think will have a different reaction when they see it in context. Everyone’s making decisions that are reasonable based on the information that they have.”

In other words, Savage and Co. wouldn’t do you, or your faves, wrong. “This is a story that has been three years in the telling — going back to the pilot,” she reminds us. “And that’s a story that we’ll keep telling in season 4. So I don’t think it’s coming out of nowhere. And it lands on everybody. It lands on Dan, Blair, Serena, Rufus, Lily, Nate — every single person has a POV about this, and we’re going to see these ripple effects over time. “

Next Monday’s capper will include a departure, mini time-jump, engagement ring, shooting, birth, and
a pair of spectacular Jenny smackdowns at the hands of Blair.



The Pretty Reckless Premiere Debut Single, “Make Me Wanna Die”

The Pretty Reckless which stars Gossip Girl singer, Taylor Momsen, has been together for over a year now, but with summer approaching, so is the launch of their debut album. 

“Making a record is more than a dream of mine, it’s a need and necessity” she states with disarming sincerity. “I’ve been writing songs since I was five, and no matter how big our record becomes, I just want to play and sing and write.”

Listing their influences as Courtney Love, Nirvana and Led Zeppelin, The Pretty Reckless completed by guitarist Ben Phillips, bassist Mark Damon and drummer Jamie Perkins – recorded their forthcoming debut album last year with producer Kato Khandwala, who has previously worked with All Time Low, Paramore and Madina Lake. With the frontwoman’s filming commitments taking up a lot of her time, the record became a true labour of love.

“I’d be shooting all day and the going to work on the record starting at midnight untile five in the morning,” says sixteen year old Momsen. “It was spread out over a year, and when we finished it really was a case of ‘Wow, the record’s done, finally!’.”

The World’s first taster of The Pretty Reckless takes the form of their gritty, snarling new single Make Me Wanna Die, taken from the recent Kick-Ass soundtrack. Having racked up an impressive number of plays on big name radio stations around the globe, the band are determined to make their dream of rock stardom a reality.

“We’re playing the whole of the Warped Tour, and I’m going to work around my filming schedule so we can tour as much as is physically possible”, Taylor enthuses.“We want to play to the UK so badly, I cannot tell you! Our favourite bands are English so we can’t wait to come over!”
