Sometimes, friends suggest going out, then they ask, "Aren't you worried people are going to notice you?" I tell them that I just can't live my life like that; I can't live my life wondering if people are going to be saying things about me or taking pictures.
Finally, and I fear no one seeing my point on this one, but Leighton Meester's Blair Woldorf on Gossip Girl. Other than the clothes, there's only one reason I watch this show week in and week out and that's Blair. I think she's one of the best characters on TV, honestly. And Leighton captures her pretty damn brilliantly. I know it's the CW. I know it's GOSSIP GIRL for crying out loud, but she's good. And, again, if "Two and a Half Men" can be seen as quality television, everything should be considered.
I don’t really know if that’s necessarily what I want or what I’m seeking. I just want to make the show. On a more serious note, I think that there are good and bad things to be said about never being able to go anywhere on your own. I’m so used to being able to do that, so I hope it doesn’t get to that point. But, if that’s what it means for the show to do well, then that’s okay.
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
There are many deserving women in this category, and I was happy to see Glenn Close win last year for "Damages." But this time around I am willing to throw my support to wild card Leighton Meester in "Gossip Girl." Maybe because she's survived so much drama in her real life: She was born during her mother's prison term for drug charges, and in 2003 her older brother was involved in an Air Force Academy sex scandal.
Of course, it's nothing compared to what her character, Blair Waldorf, has been through in the last season: an English lord who cheated on her with his stepmother; the waiting list for Yale; a one-night stand with true love Chuck's uncle (whoops). As "GG's" writers struggled mightily to keep Blair and Chuck apart as long as possible, Meester made it believable.
Bear in mind that she managed it all in confining preppie chic and undisturbed lip gloss. Wait until she sinks her teeth into something really juicy.
I was asked out once or twice, but I was such a late bloomer. I definitely got to know myself a lot better later, even just in the past few years. You think that you’re so grown up, when you’re 15 or 16, and then you get to be 21 and you’re like, “Well, now I feel more like a woman.” But, even still, not so much. I don’t know how much I still have to grow.

She's awesome and has a great sense of humor. And great shoes.
