Leighton Meester Sex Tape

Oh, dear. We could almost hear the Kristen Bell voiceover when the news broke that someone was shopping around a tape featuring Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester in the altogether, frolicking with her then-boyfriend. Yep, someone's got a sex tape, and it looks like soon all the world will be able to see it.

1. Oh, Leighton. We love you, girl, and support your right to have whatever kind of fun with whichever friend you may wish. But why, why would you have that fun on camera? Call us prudish, but we can't quite figure out why anyone who ever even contemplates a career in public life would set foot in the same room with a video camera -- much less strip down for one. You've got to know the danger is high that someday, some "friend" might try to make a few bucks on it.
2. And what sort of "friend" does something like this, anyway? Look, what consenting adults do for fun in the privacy of their own home/apartment/hotel room/vacation villa/whatever is no one's business but theirs. Making money off someone's private sexy fun time is pretty low.
3. Are there really sex tapes anymore? With digital video cameras, aren't they more like sex cards, or sex thumb drives?
4. What are the odds that a similar scenario will make it into the script on Gossip Girl next season? And which character(s) do you think would star in that particular opus? Chuck's a natural choice, of course, but would there really be any scandal there? Half of New York -- and a good portion of the international jet set -- has seen Chuck's naughty bits!

Will 'Gossip Girl' Make its way to the Big Screen?

'I think that would be kind of hot,' star Leighton Meester says of a movie based on the popular TV show.
By Larry Carroll Earlier this year, "Star Trek" became the 11th feature film spun off from TV's beloved sci-fi franchise. "X-Files" has launched two big-screen installments, starring the same actors from the hit television show. "Sex and the City: The Movie" became a box-office phenomenon with a $57 million opening weekend, and an "Arrested Development" film should be coming our way shortly.

Now, the cast of the red-hot TV show "Gossip Girl" are wondering whether they could be the next hit series to graduate to the silver screen.

"We've been asked that a lot," Jessica Szohr grinned. "I'm in."

"A 'Gossip Girl' movie could be compared to a 'Sex and the City'-type of movie," agreed Leighton Meester, giving a pitch and seeing similarities in the confessional, sexy, martini-drinking worlds. "I think that would be kind of hot." These days, Szohr is hard at work in Lake Havasu on the set of the horror film "Piranha 3-D," while Meester is playing psycho on the Culver City set of the thriller "The Roommate." Other stars, like Blake Lively and Chace Crawford, are similarly establishing their own film careers or focusing on the third season of the show that premieres in September. But if the show's fanbase continues to build, "Gossip Girl" could someday be bringing her omniscient observations to a movie theater near you.

"If they do that, I don't think it'll be for a couple more years," reasoned Szohr, who plays down-to-earth Vanessa Abrams on the show. "We're just going into the third season. But I think it'd be fun; we'd all be excited to do it." "We'll see what happens," agreed Meester, a breakout star as the bratty, bitchy Blair Waldorf. "There's no resolution in each episode — it's always a cliffhanger. So it would be pretty juicy as a movie."

Asked if she's been privy to any behind-the-scenes rumblings about a possible movie someday, Meester said, "I have," adding, "I think we are just [concentrating] on the show right now — so maybe when it goes away for a while we can come back [as a movie]."

"You never know," Szohr added. "It went from books to a TV show — so they might as well just check off the list and make it a film too."

Thinking about her surroundings on the "Piranha" set, however, Szohr only hoped that the "Gossip Girl" film wouldn't similarly be in 3-D. "I can't picture that," she laughed, thinking of her artsy style on the show. "My character's outfits would look crazy!"
