Biography for Leighton Meester
Leighton Marissa Claire Meester (born Apr. 9, 1986 (25 years ago)) is an American actress and singer-songwriter, best known for her role as Blair Waldorf in the TV show Gossip Girl.

Early years
Leighton Meester was born in Marco Island, Florida to Connie and Doug Meester. Although her mother Connie was serving time in prison for her involvement in a drug ring that smuggled marijuana from Jamaica to the United States, Connie was able to give birth to Meester in a hospital and nurse her for three months in a halfway house before returning to prison to complete her sentence. Meester maintains that her parents gave her a normal upbringing and, despite their criminal past, are good people with experience that has only made Meester more open-minded and non-judgmental, "It made me realize that you can't judge anyone—especially your parents—for what they've done in their past, because people change." Meester also tells Cosmopolitan,

Personal life
Leighton Meester currently resides in New York City. In her free time, she enjoys writing, reading, dancing, and "doing nothing." She occasionally keeps fans updated with messages on Twitter and it is the only social networking service she personally uses that her representation has confirmed.

In Jun. 2009 (2 years ago), there were reports accompanied by voyeuristic pictures (wallpaper) allegedly from a sex tape, featuring an 18-year old Meester, being shopped around by an old boyfriend for an asking price up to $1 million. Meester counters the allegations in an interview with the sep. 2009 (2 years ago) issue of Harpers Bazaar: "[The tape] is not real, so it makes me sort of sad. It's unfortunate that it got carried as far as it did. I definitely understand the nature of people better now and that the mere allegation of something like that could be headline news. People think it's real because somebody says it is."

Leighton has been dating actor and Gossip Girl co-star Sebastian Stan since they met on the set of the show.
