No one is more pleased than we are to see Leighton Meester apparently exiting that hideous pop-star phase. The world did not need another Katy Perry, for one thing, and also Leighton is the most talented person on Gossip Girl and all that spandex and Pro Tools was making her ridiculous.

Con: Well, hang onto your goblet of wine, then, because I’ve seen more expensive-looking flowers on the wrists of Prom-bound sixteen-year olds.
Pro: We’d best put this to a vote ere I pass out and hit my head on the toilet and accidentally invent time travel:
