Her talkpiece states, “She will not be on the show. She was approached, but her reps passed.”

Apparently, the rumors are true. The ex OC star has been approached to join the show.

 Interesting that Blake and Leighton don’t have any pictures alone together?? It seems like their rumored rift may be for real…

As reported by People.com, “Leighton Meester’s show Gossip Girl is one big hit. But could the young starlet consider switching to a career as a rapper?”I have a huge range of songs,” Meester, 22, told the blog Just Jared at a promotional event in New York Wednesday about her burgeoning musical career.Explains the actress: “[On] some of them I just talk, I do a little – not rapping – but talking, sort of spoken word. It’s a little Fergie, a little like Gwen Stefani and M.I.A.”Okay, so she’s not abandoning her hit TV show, but the actress is really into her “electronic-y” songs. “I write the lyrics and I collaborate with my friend and producer … Shahine Ezell,” she says. As for future collaborations, “I would want to work with a band. I’d love to meet my favorite artists, meet them, hang out with them and just jam.” Among Meester’s favorites: rockers Incubus and Chris Cornell. “He has such a powerful and beautiful voice,” she says.When it comes to her career, though, Meester is content to be just a double (not triple) threat. “I don’t think I’m going to be dancing but I definitely could,” she says in the interview. “My nickname use to be Happy Feet. If I’m standing there and music is playing on set, I’ll be doing this. People used to be like, ‘Why are you Happy Feet? You need to stop that now.’ “

AskMen.Com ranked Blake #99 overall with a rating of a 79/100. Seems a little low to me?

Richard Johnson Reports on Page Six, ” WATCH out, Hollywood, a new party girl has hit town. At People magazine’s pre-Grammy bash at LA club Avalon the other night, “Gossip Girl”Leighton Meister was darting in and out of the place surrounded by a cloud of funny-smelling smoke. Page Six spotted the raven- haired starlet on the arm of a mystery man throughout the evening who at one point lifted her up, along with her dress, giving guests a peek at her panties. Better-behaved bold faces catching Paramore and Taylor Swift perform were Miley Cyrus, Ludacris, Fer gie, Kim Kardashian and Flava Flave.”
