    Extremely beautiful, talented, wonderful - what better idol can a girl have? hide show

    I've only seen Leighton Meester as Blair Waldorf, but I love her! She acts very well, and manages to capture both the superficial Blair, and the deeper, more complex parts about her. In addition to that, I must say that she is a fine singer and very beautiful. Whenever looking at Gossip Girl I am fascinated, especially by her wonderful hair! She looks very healthy, almost glowing. I also admire her sense of style, that she is multitalented, and I can't hide that Blair is one of my personal favourites in Gossip Girl. In the show her icon is Audrey Hepburn, and I thinks he resembles her!

    Leighton Marissa Claire Meester is an American-born actress, who has previously had roles in NBC's drama Surface, FOX's 24, and House. She is now working on the new show, Gossip Girl written by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. hide show

    Leighton Meester is a fantastic actress. She plays the role of the manipulative Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl. Blair is the best friend of Serena Van Der Woodsen, who's played by Blake Lively. Blair is a mean girl but can be a really good person. She looks good with Chuck Bass, who's played by Ed Westwick; they make a great couple. Leighton is very talented and she does a great job in acting. She has a great fashion taste on the show and I'm sure in real life. She is just an amazing character to watch on television. Sometimes her plans go too far sometimes.

    Leighton Meester plays the manipulative Blair on "Gossip Girl." hide show

    Among a very well-suited and beautiful cast, Leighton Meester really sticks out as the most talented. Love or hate her character, Blair, she is hands down the most interesting and unpredictable in the cast. Ms. Meester plays the part superbly, wearing a signature bow and constantly manipulating everyone around her. Next to rising co-stars Blake Lively and Chace Crawford, she truly holds her own. The true test now depends on whether she can eventually expand from "Gossip Girl" and become a well rounded actress, but that remains to be decided. She is the heart of her current show though, so let us enjoy what we have now.
