I like Leighton Meester. And I think she's a good actress who should revisit TV sometime, because she shone in that medium on Gossip Girl but was less than electric in Country Strong. Although I must point out that Country Strong was a vortex of doom for all

Well, at least this fits her. And it's funky. But I keep thinking this is what it'd look like there was a Fashion Week flag-football tournament, with referees by Serena & Lily. Conde Nast versus Hearst is going to be epic. I can't

I love a lively pant. But I swear, I detect a whiff of the polterwang in there, which is not quite the packaging one wants from one's pants. [Photo: Getty]

View the gallery The previews for The Judge are so schmaltzy and all-over-the-place. It reminds me of The Butler -- sorry, Lee Daniels' The Butler -- when every single ad had Oprah purring the words "that butler," because there is WAY TOO MUCH of Robert Downey

I really want to like this, but it has similar problems to an Elie Saab that Angelina Jolie wore not long ago. That being, it's not super flattering to the chest. I love the idea of a gold art-deco demi-caftan, but the way it hangs off

Welcome back, Blair Waldorf. Stay awhile this time, will you? With both you AND S off the canvas (whither Boobs Legsly I ASK THEE)(just kidding, she's finally shooting a movie)(but damn, that took a long time) there has been a void of crazy fuggery others have

I've missed ol' Leighton "Bull True" Meester. She was routinely the best part of Gossip Girl, and I see her as very much a TV person -- which people used to act like was some kind of insult, but it's not, not even remotely,

View the gallery I find it hilarious that, after this collaboration spent all that money putting serialized ads in the middle of that one terrible Revenge episode, none of the cast members were at the party. Surely Christa B. Allen was available; it's not like Charlotte has anything

I'm sure there's some practical interpretation of this outfit, despite the fact that it's been totally warm in New York lately, and that's where Gossip Girl films, and there is literally no reason for Leighton Meester to be wearing this bizarro concoction:

View the gallery I've always preferred Leighton with the darker Blair Waldorf locks -- kind of like how I know Cynthia Nixon and Emma Stone are not redheads, yet I despair when they decide to switch back to their natural blonde (although Emma found a great shade lately, but

"What do you want from me?" Leighton appears to be asking. "I've spent the last five years trapped in the Groundhog Day of TV storylines. I had to act like I was in love with Penn Badgley while he wore Helena Bonham Carter on his

When we wrote up this dress in our slideshow of the Marchesa collection that included it, I wrote simply, "Eh." I think that still pretty much covers it. Well, actually, it's almost overwhelmingly too positive. Because although this may look sparkly and fantastical in person, in

Heather and I -- continuing a grand tradition of watching only really ridiculous, Guilty Pleasure movies on planes -- took in a double feature of Monte Carlo and then What's Your Number on the flight to New York yesterday. I learned several things from these movies: a) I kind of
