What Makes Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester Tick (and Type)?
Though primarily known for her aforementioned role, Meester has been around for years, having appeared in everything from 'CSI Miami' to last year's indie flick 'Flourish' and the just-releasted 'Remember the Daze,' in which she plays a -- surprise, surprise -- a high-school student. When she isn't on set or closing deals, she is recording music. Golly do we feel inadequate.
Okay, we get it, she is multi-talented and destined for greatness. There are, however, topics of extreme importance that must be discussed to realize the true depths of Leighton Meester. We tracked her down to find out what really makes her tick. And type.
What gadgets do you always bring with you to the set for down-time?
I bring my iPod and my BlackBerry. I listen to my iPod in my trailer while I'm getting my hair and makeup done.
What cell phone do you have right now and what do you love/hate about it?
I have a BlackBerry. I love it because I can get business done anywhere and anytime.
Who's the last person you sent a text message to and what was it about?
The last message I sent was to my friend, Jess about answering these questions!
Where do you go pretty much every time you get online?
I go to CNN.com....Boring!
What annoys you most about your iPod, cell phone, or laptop (or any other gadget)?
My cell phone doesn't get great service on both coasts, which is hard because I am constantly traveling back and forth from Los Angeles to New York.
Name one thing you wish your iPod/cellphone/laptop could do that it doesn't do now?
I wish my phone had a button on it that could unlock my car door, because I usually have it in my hand then anyway.
What upcoming gadget can you not wait to get your hands on?
A cell phone that gets great service on both coasts.
You're stranded on a desert island: What gadget do you bring?
If I were stranded on a desert island I would probably want a ham radio so that I could be rescued!

Technically, the most played song is 'Girl from the North Country' by Bob Dylan.
BlackBerry, Sidekick, or Treo?
BlackBerry
Do you have or are you planning to get an iPhone?
No
What's the longest time you've ever spent playing a video game in one sitting and what game was it?

I've only seen Gossip Girls once, but Leighton Meester is one hot number.
Great interview. Too bad she uses a Blackberry. I would have asked her out if she was a Treo user. :-/

I didn't realize that BlackBerry users had sharp knees.
heidiApr 15th 2008 11:29PM
i have no idea who she and i really dont care about what she does or doesn't do

there is a solution that enables you to call a device installed on the car to control its functions; saw it demonstrated at a car show which even remote-started the car and controlled its air-bags (as in low-riders)... maybe she can be their celebrity endorser; will need to look for the brochure though

Aston Martin has an option to use a PDA as the car key. I'm sure with the latest surge in smart-phones and in-car computer systems it won't be long until its main stream.

I love Gossip Girl, Iam hooked, and I have a BlackBerry also. (how cool) it is
the best. I don't travel to the west coast but I get great reception in New York
I like Gossip Girl I live through all of them.(If Only...)

I APPRECIATE HER OPINION BUT MAN WHY DOE'S SHE HAVE TO LOOK LIKE THAT. I KNOW IT'S SEXIST BUT WHO CARES ABOUT TECHNOLOGY WHEN SHE LOOKS LIKE THAT
brandonDec 7th 2008 8:02AM
she may adept in all things relating to gossip. i mean she is kinda sassy and entertaining. but come on... is blackberry paying her to say that. or just giving her crates of blackberries to hand out to friends. because the advantages cupertino offer in the machines are 10 fold in the phone. and ive had multiple treos, and multiple blackberries. 3 pearls in fact. now that one is poorly designed. trackball/keyboard a joke. i bet the ipod she speaks of is the one incorporated in the 16 gig 3g iphone. shes too hip not to.
and laylay, i can make a button on your iphone operate your door locks. just need to put an ir receiver on your ESCALADE and d/l an app on the iphone. SO CALL ME. ill do it for some inside lily allen info.... b

what kind of stupid questions are these asked in the interview??? Are they selling cellphones????
JLJan 23rd 2009 2:10AM
Blackberry--it's what presidents and Gossip Girls use!
BurkeJan 31st 2009 4:02PM
Ummm... why didn't you have her elaborate more on the ham radio? It would be pretty cool if she turns out to be licensed.
DongFeb 7th 2009 12:25AM
Would love to inspect her gadget . ; )
RebeccaFeb 9th 2009 2:26AM
Anyway,there is no doubt that Leighton is beautiful...

hi,does Leighton Meester play wow game?if so,welcome to www.obaoma.com.there are something useful for the game.

this interview has been on for months. Who truly cares most people have no idea who this is and care less. With all the problems in todays life how about something productive about someone who IS productive and helps society. This is another holywood name that contributes nothing.

who is this girl and why doesn't she do her own hair and makeup? and she's saying why not mac? she is obviously getting paid for this, noone answers questions like she is doing it.
