Leighton Meester showed up at the American Eagle Outfitters Times Square flagship store grand opening party in New York City yesterday looking smoking hot in a mini black leather dress with bold make-up. Is she channeling the vampires from “Twilight Saga: New Moon?” Check out more photos after the jump.

Leighton is sick of seeing stories about her troubled family life splashed across the front pages because her childhood was stable and happy. The actress is adamant tabloids got her story wrong by insisting she was brought into the world behind bars – accusing the media of twisting the facts.

She says she was born in a hospital “and, no (my parents) didn’t live a life of crime while I was a kid. We had big Thanksgiving dinners, with all of us at the table. I mean, how normal can you get?”

Check out the debut single from Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, “Somebody To Love” featuring R&B crooner Robin Thicke!

Leighton called Ryan Seacrest Tuesday to world premiere the song, and joked the name “Somebody to Love” was a tamer version of the original title involving a particular four letter word.

Leighton also told us she got Robin Thicke to jump on the record a couple months after she had initially recorded it.

“I really wanted to make something that’s completely different from anything that’s on the radio right now,” said Leighton. “I feel like it’s really dancy and fun, but it’s still laid back and relaxed and moody and sexy.”

The song hits home for many young adults as Leighton explains, “it’s definitely about what’s going on in my life and I think anybody can relate. You’re crazy, you’re busy, you’re young and you’re running around and it’s really hard to find somebody to love. People love you but you don’t really love them.”
