Leighton Meester, she of perpetually glowing skin and terrible television fame, has purchased a lovely rustic home in Encino, California, smack in the center of the San Fernando Valley. My my, how the Waldorf has changed her exclusively Upper East Sider tune. Or not because Gossip Girl is a television show and Blair…

Your favoritest and blondest celeb couple has called it quits. Alas, alack. Also today: Leighton Meester's love life heats up, Hugh Hefner's cools down, and Kristin Cavallari is very sad.

Lindsay Lohan screams drunkenly into the void. Kristin Cavallari's fiance dumps her. Leighton Meester sues her mother. Chris Evans is "drowning" in "raging insecurity." Ben Affleck has Bieber hair. Monday gossip is a lost cause.

The troubled starlet is on the mend and sending the internet racy pictures of herself. The Situation sued his own father, Lindsay Lohan gets kicked out a party, Leonardo DiCaprio is dating a Gossip Girl. Tuesday's gossip just wants to relax on a beach somewhere.

Last night, Anna Wintour's charity boondoggle, the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, brought out the brightest in the fashion world and tons of celebrities wearing their couture finest. But it wasn't easy walking that red carpet.

Here's a trailer for Monte Carlo, the summertime girlz jam about TV stars hoity-toitying it up in a feature film. Specifically, Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester, and aspiring Golden Globe Awards presenter Katie Cassidy have teamed up to tell this tale about a trip to Paris gone wrong.

A slow weekend saw the ladies rushing out to the cineplexes to have their fun before football madness descended upon the land and all was boy until Monday.

Leighton Meester gave a short interview to Kelly Ripa and her beau on Live! today in which she went on about how fantastic her home state of Florida is. Mainly, she likes that it's the exactly opposite of New York.

Kelly Osbourne tweets—then deletes—an epic rant about her gold digging ex-fiance. Rihanna breaks up with her boyfriend. Charlie Sheen skipped Christmas to party. Taylor Momsen calls herself "a product." Wednesday gossip is a painful realization.

Now that we've heard the pipes on Leighton singing in Country Strong, I think we can all agree that the Gossip Girl makes a better country songstress than a talk/rapping pop star. Listen to both of her songs inside.

Well, sorta gritty. Feel good movie costarring Tim McGraw gritty, at least. Here's the trailer for Paltrow's sappy-lookin' country drama about a washed-up, rehab-sprung country singer (Jo Dee Messina?) trying to pick herself up and be rich and famous again.
