Hey, Upper East Siders. Gossip Girl here. And boy oh boy, do I have a sweet and fresh-from-the-oven dish for you. Star Leighton Meester, aka B, was spotted in the womb . . . and in jail. Juicy! Says Star:
Leighton Meester, who plays the privileged Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, was born while her mother was serving a federal prison sentence in Texas. The mom was allowed to stay in a halfway house for the birth, but had to return to prison on the day Leighton turned three months. The future star was raised by a relative while mom served out her sentence for her role in a major drug-running ring.
None of those details appear in the actress' bio, which falsely lists the young star as being born in Marco Island, Fla., where her parents moved in the late '80s.
And Leighton's mom isn't the only member of her family with a record ó her father, grandfather and aunt all did hard time in federal prisons for drug dealing!
So it seems that before B was pounding Chuck Bass, she was busy pounding out license plates with Mom. Does Prada make shivs?
XOXO,
Gossip Girl
