Did Leighton Meester trip while shooting “Gossip Girl,” or did she figure out yellow and green don’t go? [3/1/10, NYC]

If Blake Lively thought she was the only “Gossip Girl” who can wear a plunge neckline down to her belly button, that bitch has another thing coming. Get a load of Leighton Meester‘s promo pics for her album, Love Is A Drug. [Just Jared]

Sometimes we feel like Us Weekly‘s “The Fashion Police” and other similar style critics can be a tad harsh. Also, they tend to have these really boring, conservative styles and we have to wonder what their real fashion credentials are. (Case in point: US Weekly‘s “Top Cops” include random comedian Stefanie Novik and Chet Cannon of “The Real World, Brooklyn.” When did they ever go to design school!?) The Fashion Peacekeepers are here to say, hey, can’t everyone’s styles just get along?

While we personally would likely shy away from this complicated, chest-baring, mullet-skirted concoction when making our own red carpet appearances, we will give Leighton Meester‘s recent party outfit this much: That getup is a great improvement on this one, so you know, she’s got that going for her.

Leighton Meester has been working hard on launching her singing career, providing guest vocals on other groups’ songs (Cobra Starship’s “Good Girls Go Bad”) and performing at the opening of American Eagle’s flagship store in New York City last week. Now, she’s trying to get a holiday song stuck in our heads à la Mariah Carey. I definitely prefer this seasonal tune to her upcoming album’s first single, “Somebody to Love”; however, we all have “All I Want for Christmas Is You” in our heads 15 years after it first came out, so I’d say Mariah still holds the top spot.

“I always resist falling in love. My problem is, I lose interest. Every time I’ve fallen in love, it’s just momentary. Honestly, I’ve hated every boyfriend I’ve had. I don’t want to have a boyfriend unless I want to be with him forever. If I don’t see an end, that’s nice. Because I always see an end.”

Let’s take a vote: who thinks Leighton Meester should ditch that singing/acting crap to be a full-time lingerie model? Meeee! [GQ]

First, ignore the fact that not only did Leighton Meester play up her lips (bright red!), but also her eyes (major smokey shadow!) at the same time—I’m not a fan, but, hey, rules are created to be broken. Instead, let’s focus on the crazy interesting eye shadow trick she’s got going on: Shadow in her crease, shadow above her eye, but no shadow (or at least a totally different and light shadow) on her eyelids. While I’m not advising you do that for anything other than a red carpet appearance, I do think you could copy that trick with less jarring colors and it’d look pretty freaking awesome. I’m feeling a lighter wash of, say, peachy brown?

Here’s how to do it ...

Hey! It’s the debut of the new Leighton Meester music video! Finally! In “Somebody to Love,” Meester does her best Madonna-meets-Blondie impression in the backseat of a car. She does a fine job of writhing around, looking sexy, and sort-of singing about, you know, like, love. Thankfully, Robin Thicke is there to lend a hand in the vocal department. “It’s hard to find a man/When you’re gone before he wakes,” Meester chants. So post-feminist, Blair. Don’t quit your day job.

Looks like someone has been dipping into the unflattering trend pool of yore. Leighton Meester was spotted on the set of “Gossip Girl” making a change from what appears to be the high heels of her costume to a pair of Uggs on her break. (Unless Blair has some scene where she’s trying to be ironic? Doubtful.) Seems everyone except for Jessica Simpson has put Uggs on the banned fashions list, and we know a lot of girls who wouldn’t be caught dead in the winter boots (we really would have thought Leighton would be in that group).

But, you gotta admit ... they are super warm and comfy. Like walking on clouds! So come clean—do you still have those pink Uggs circa 2003 in your closet? Break them out from time to time? [Um, yes, yes I do.—Editor] In public? Blair would never!

Blair Waldorf is ripping off her diamond-encrusted Chloe choker and heading for the open road! The Hollywood blog Cinematical says Leighton Meester and up-and-comer Amber Heard will star in “Cowgirl Bandits,” a younger version of “Thelma And Louise,” as two bank robbers hell-bent on justice. That’s not quite the same rah-rah girl power storyline as the shoot-the-rapist-who-goes-after-your-best-friend theme of “Thelma and Louise” ... Oh, Hollywood! When will you learn to leave well enough alone? [Cinematical]

Spotted: Two super-chic ladies, one shared Phillip Lim dress. Yesterday, Alexa Chung and Leighton Meester showed up for the Phillip Lim spring 2010 show in, what else, a Phillip Lim dress—the exact same one. But, on first inspection, it's not that obvious, mostly because they each have such individual, singular styles.

Ah, men. Really, they can fetishize anything: feet, hair, derrieres, cars, sneakers. You name it, there’s a guy out there who joneses for it. Now, there’s a blog just for men who are really into hot chicks picking up dog poop. Somewhere out there, a guy has spent his entire life dreaming of a catalog of celebrities and other random good-looking women bending over, crouching down, and hunkering about to pick up their pooch’s doo-doo with plastic bags, tiny shovels, and the like, and his lucky day has arrived. The glamorous stars of HCPUDS include Gisele Bundchen, Maria Bello, and Leighton Meester. What’s next—a book deal followed by “HCPUDS: The Movie”?

T-minus 16 days until the MTV Music Video Awards on Sept. 13, and the promo videos for the show are actually way cute. Above, MTV’s version of “Tonight” from “West Side Story” starring Cobra Starship, Leighton Meester, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift. After the jump, Britney Spears and Russell Brand flirt via telepathy.

Just because you’re not on one of those hot-right-now vampire shows doesn’t mean you can’t be inspired by the look. Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick give in to the power of the night in a leaked photo from an upcoming issue of Elle. [Gossip Girl Insider]

Oh. Look. It’s Leighton Meester on the cover of fashion bible Bazaar. Yawn. We’d say more about it, but the intense boredom this shot is inducing is threatening to put us to sleep. Oddly enough, it was shot by Terry Richardson, master of things both fashion-y and filthy. His shots usually bring to mind hypothetical future orgies. Like everyone in the picture is thinking, “Once this photo shoot is over, let’s all go back to my place and just see what happens.” Looking at Leighton, it’s difficult to believe that she’s thinking anything at all, the photograph is so empty. Though perhaps we’re being unfair; maybe she’s just entranced by the shiny, shiny dress.

This week two Gossip Girls went out in public with their bras visible for all the world to see. Leighton Meester attended a Katy Perry concert in a floral dress that revealed her bra and boy shorts, while Taylor Momsen sported a black bra under her bright pink dress at a performance with her band, The Pretty Reckless.

Sheer clothes seem to be trying to make a comeback, and not just among women. At the most recent men's shows of Givenchy and John Galliano, mesh and translucent tops went down the runways. And, now that Leighton and Taylor have showed us their bras, could see-through tops soon become as ubiquitous as bow headbands?

Leighton Meester was spotted on the set of “Gossip Girl” wearing some very cute specs. We loved her nerdy-chic accessory so much that we figured screw it, we want to wear glasses, too (even if we don’t need them). But we’re not the only ones obsessed with the four-eyed look. The Telegraph reports that ever since the new “Harry Potter” movie came out, the wizard’s signature glasses have been selling out like mad, with one company reporting a 100 percent jump in sales of the round-framed style. And apparently, it’s possible to develop a glasses fetish, as one Illinois man did recently, which drove him to steal $45k worth of eyeglasses. Weird.

After the jump, a few stylish choices for fake glasses…

It’s an 81-degree July day on the set of “Gossip Girl,” but from the looks of the nipples and fUGGly fashion faux pas, it’s friggin’ freezing. Hm, on second thought, maybe Blake Lively‘s boobies are trying to point out how heinous Leighton Meester‘s boots are. [NYC, 7/22/09]

Leighton Meester’s foot job sex tape is still under wraps, but we can’t say the same about her new song “Body Control,” which has been leaked on the internet a few weeks ahead of schedule. After her appearance in Cobra Starship’s “Good Girls Go Bad,” we were pumped to hear her solo work. Too bad it sounds like a mediocre Britney Spears track—metallic and overproduced. With lyrics like, “I live to party, party,” and “I’ve become a wild thing/Yeah, uh huh/This music makes my heart sing/Yeah, uh huh,” we just aren’t too impressed. Just goes to show that you can take the headband off the girl, but you can’t take the girl outta the headband. My fingers are crossed that Leighton stays put and soaks up her success as Blair Waldorf while she’s still got it. Just take a little word of warning from the swiftly declining career of that other made-famous-by-Josh-Schwartz girl, Mischa Barton.

• Kevin Jonas proposed to girlfriend Danielle Deleasa, who gladly accepted. [PopEater]—I still can’t tell the Jonases apart, but I’m probably not the only one.
• Michael Jackson reportedly named his mother Katharine as legal guardian of his children, and if something happens to her, then Diana Ross is supposed to take over the duty. [Dlisted]—Katharine seems like a good choice, but I wouldn’t want my children around Joe Jackson even if he isn’t legally in charge.
• Ryan O’Neal banned his eldest son Griffin from attending Farrah Fawcett’s funeral, even though he drove 300 miles to pay his respects. [Perez Hilton]
