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.

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. :-/

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.
