Gwyneth Paltrow reveals a lot of skin last night at the premiere of her new movie, ‘Country Strong’. The Oscar-winner looks quite sexy in her floor-length Pucci dress. Her body looks amazing!
Also on the red carpet, Kristin Cavallari, Tim McGraw and wife Faith Hill, Leighton Meester, Tobey Maguire and his wife.
Leighton Meester covers the January Allure, and inside the magazine she removes her clothes and talks sex, Chuck Bass and her past life as a partier.
Leighton recently said she will leave ‘Gossip Girl’ in two years, when her contract expires.
Here are some highlights from the interview;
On the Chuck and Blair love affair:
“I can really relate to it–not necessarily because it’s this dramatic, tumultuous relationship, but because the way they love each other is very real, and not for the sake of being dramatic. It’s actual love. There’s nobody for each other but them.”
On her former life as a partier:
“We had craaaazy parties, we had DJ’s, bands, an ice luge, a fire twirler. One of my roommates burned off her bangs on the stove trying to light a cigarette.”
On the supposed rivalry with costar Blake Lively:
“It’s unfortunate when women are pitted against each other, like with Sex and the City. People say, ‘They’re jealous of each other.’ Come on! They’re all rich, successful, great actresses.”
On her love life:
“It’s wonderful to be in love. And it’s definitely wonderful to cuddle and have sex and get to experience life with somebody. But it’s OK if you don’t find him and you’re 24. You can find it someday.”
When is Leighton Meester leaving ‘Gossip Girl’? “Two more years,” she told E! while promoting her new film, ‘Country Strong’. Why then? “Because we’re under contract.”
While Meester said she “obviously enjoys working on the show and living in New York,” she also explained that producers and the network have been more understanding than ever before about Leighton and her costars taking time off or jiggering schedules in order to pursue other projects, particularly movies. “It allows you to be ready for when the show’s over,” she said.
Will the entire series end in two years, too? “I don’t know,” Meester said, “but I think there’s that old saying about wanting to go out on top.”
The Gossip Girl actress, who appears alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in her latest film, Country Strong, seems to have developed a slight girl crush on the older actress-turned-country singer. “She’s gorgeous without any makeup on and she comes to set at 5 a.m. looking really hot which is really great,” Leighton tells InStyle of Gwyneth’s off-screen appeal.
“She’s super down-to-earth and makes dirty jokes. She’s just a cool chick.” And that’s not the only on-set secret that Leighton dished on. The stylish star, who gets back to her Texas roots as a beauty queen-turned-singer in Country Strong, plays a neurotic college girl in The Roommate, and gets to slink into some of fashion’s most coveted labels as Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, reveals that the mean girl roles get the best outfits.
“In The Roommate, I play a little over-the-edge bad girl and she has a pretty good wardrobe,” she tells the publication.
Leighton Meester was featured on Cobra Starship’s song, Good Girls Go Bad and contributed a song to the new Country Song soundtrack and now, she’s going to be releasing her very own debut album!
The actress, who stars as an aspiring country singer in her upcoming film alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, is actively working on her music career. “I’m still writing, and I’m working with a band. I’m going to start performing again soon,” she tells In Touch. What can we expect from the Gossip Girl star’s record, which was initially expected to be released this year? “It’s a different sound, because I’ve been going through a lot this year,” Leighton, who recently split from longtime boyfriend Sebastian Stan, adds. “I’m in no rush. I want it to be perfect!”
We’ve heard Gwyneth Paltrow belt it out in the upcoming Country Strong, and now here’s a first look at co-star Leighton Meester‘s turn as Southern crooner. In a cute denim skirt and gingham blouse, she duets with Garrett Hedlund (who also stars in the upcoming TRON: Legacy) in the sexy song “Give Into Me.” We’re sensing some serious on-screen chemistry between these co-stars, which only makes us want to see the flick more! Make sure to check out Country Strong when it hits theaters on January 7th.
