I've got to hand it to US Glamour mag - what with last month's gorgeous Victoria Beckham cover and this hot shot of Leighton Meester, they're looking goooood. The first freshness I've seen on a magazines in ages.

And the more I see of Leighton Meester, the more I heart her. Here's an extract from the interview.

GLAMOUR: I’m friendly with Zuzanna, who plays Dorota, and she said you’re extremely loyal, especially to the Gossip Girl “family.”

LEIGHTON MEESTER: We’ve grown up together and we’re close. I mean, if I needed to, I would probably beat someone up for them.

GLAMOUR: Aww. Is it hard seeing yourself in tabloids?

LEIGHTON MEESTER: Just don’t go Googling yourself. But I think if you have haters, you [also] have triple the number of people who believe in you.

GLAMOUR: You enjoy fashion. Does [Gossip Girl costume designer] Eric Daman help you for events?

LEIGHTON MEESTER: Yes, I see what I like from the [runway], but it’s about mixing and matching. Daily life shouldn’t be a fashion show all the time.

GLAMOUR: As a singer, do you have an alter ego, like Beyoncé’s Sasha Fierce?

LEIGHTON MEESTER: To some extent. I’m inspired by fashion, sex, my friends. I love strong, awesome, hot women!

GLAMOUR: Will you ever want to get married?

LEIGHTON MEESTER: No. If it was important to somebody I loved, maybe I’d think about it, but I don’t think that I’m the type. It’s not for me. I believe in love, children and being a good person.

GLAMOUR: Like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell!

LEIGHTON MEESTER: Yeah, I wouldn’t mind living together. [But] eventually I’ll have to get a separate house for my shoes!

And if that isn't enough Leighton for you, I've got the cutest shots of her filming in New York. Who knew that she and Dan Humphrey would be so cuddly off camera?

P.S. If you don't watch Gossip Girl (then you should!) don't have Foxtel or just aren't particularly as enthralled as I am, please excuse my obsession. It's now completely out of my control and has a mind of its own.
