Leighton Meester Tells All…About Herself

Sep 25, 2008 at 8:29am

Gossip Girl fans might have their illusion of wealthy queen bee Blair Waldorf shattered when they pick up this week’s issue of Us.

Leighton Meester, who plays the rich-bitch socialite on the teen soap, opens up about her parents’ drug-smuggling past.

“It makes me very nonjudgmental and open-minded,” says the 22-year-old starlet. “And I think it just makes me appreciate the things that I have now.”

Hmmm. She must be referring to that dog she has that pees on the set.

Leighton’s parents Connie and Doug both served time in the slammer during the ’80s, and the actress herself was born while her mother was incarcerated.

“Anything that her mother and I did that was questionable occurred before she was born,” Doug tells Us.

Looks like Leighton just pulled the rug out from any future tell-alls that might have been written about her by beating everyone to the punch. How very Blair-like.

Now if only she’d spill it on what really went down between her two male co-stars and Drew Barrymore this past weekend…
