Leighton Meester Films ‘The Roommate’
Last month we saw photos of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford on the NYC set of his new movie Twelve and today we get to see a few pics of GG star Leighton Meester (newly blondeish) on the LA set of her new film The Roommate. I understand the film is a new take on the premise of the creepily brills 90’s film Single White Female starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and Bridget Fonda. Here are pics of Leighton doing her thang on set:
Leighton will play Sara who gets saddled with a college roommate named Rebecca who invades her life and, presumably, tries to steal it/kill her … or some such variation on the theme. I understand that Leighton will be spending her Summer here in SoCal because she is also working on her as-yet-untitled debut album which is scheduled to be released this Fall. I’m not sure how I feel about her attempt at a singing career but I am intrigued by this new movie. Meh, it doesn’t sound like it’s going to win any awards but if watching Beyoncé go at it with Ali Later in Obsessed has taught me anything it’s never discount a terribly fun-looking terrible movie. The Roommate is due in theaters next year.

It also sounds a lot like the Shannen Doherty TV movie from the late 90s in which SD was a college student/rock singer with a roommate “who invades her life and…tries to steal it/kill her, etc…” I forget the name, but it was really good.

Leighton is a natural blonde. She looks pretty both ways but brown reaalllllyy suits her better. :) LOVE HER!

I’m still not 100% on how I feel about her attempting an actual singing career, but her cover of Bette Davis Eyes has kind of been playing non-stop around my house. I am completely in love with it. Birthday is good and fun too.

Sounds like it’s based on my college experience! That happened to me. My roommate pretended like she was my best friend and meanwhile stole everything from me, ended up trying to steal my identity and hurting me.
Uhhh do I get a kickback for this leighton?

That’s horrible, Katie!
I’d love to see Leighton do indie films.

i know she’s naturally blonde, but… if anyone cared about this girl, they wouldn’t let her be blonde. she looks so washed out and, well, NOT GOOD.
.
she needs to be a brunette.
