Aside from starring as Blair Waldorf on the CW’s “Gossip Girl,” Leighton Meester is also the latest actress working to become a pop star.
On Friday Meester will perform her single, “Somebody to Love,” and other songs from her electro-pop debut album (currently without a name or release date) at Underground (doors open at 10 p.m., $20 cover; RSVP to vip@rockitranch.com by noon Friday). It will be her first trip to Chicago, and her agenda is simple: “We don’t have a lot of time,” says Meester, 23, from Miami. “We’re going to have a nice meal, we’re going to party, we’re going to do the show and maybe get to run around a little bit and see what the city’s all about.”
How much of a stigma, if any, do you feel as an actor turned musician?
I feel none, unless I’m asked that question.
Which actor-turned-musician do you listen to more: Heidi Montag or Joey Lawrence?
I wasn’t aware of either.
Of either one existing as a person?
No, I mean, I know who those people are, but I didn’t know that they were musicians or actors. I know Joey Lawrence is an actor, but I didn’t know that Heidi Montag was an actress. I think that if I look up to any actor/musicians, and there are quite a few of them, I really like Dolly Parton, 2Pac, Cher. I really like Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez. There’s a lot of ‘em. ( it's like christmas all over again!! )

renaissance2010Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34,
renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}

On whether or not she thinks she's a good girlfriend:
I don’t know. It’s really not the goal of my existence.
Could we get more girls like her, please?! Also, Merry Christmas!!

It's funny . . . actors seem to always know what they want to be. You ask people when they've just finished college what they want to do and they have no idea, and sometimes they never know. But actors seem to know at an early age. I was lucky that I had such supportive parents.
