Now that ‘Gossip Girl’ is winding down, Leighton Meester has plenty of time for other things! How about posing half dressed in Flaunt Magazine!?

Surrounded by men and women, the 26-year-old actress shows off her sexy side in these new pics. Here are some highlights from the interview. For more, visit to Flaunt!

On taking on the role of a mother:
“I definitely want kids. It’s really important to me. I think it’s going to be the one thing I do. That’s your life, that’s the meaning of life. Besides art, which I think is definitely part of that. And that all goes in with love and making children – making art. It’s creating. I think that’s the meaning of life.”

On her “Country Strong” co-star turning her on to music:
“Tim [McGraw] gave everyone a guitar, so I kind of taught myself and then wrote all my songs on the set of “The Oranges.” And the songs are not poetic – They are just me. It’s not more confident or colorful. It’s just me. It just comes out of me.”

On how different her real-life is compared to her “Gossip Girl” character:
“I didn’t even know people like Blair existed until I started the show. I often work 60 days straight with no days off. No mornings off. Every minute I’m working, unless I’m on an airplane. I just want to be comfortable every second I’m not in hair and makeup.”
