Actually makeup trends from late 00s were so much better than the contemporary are, so much more natural, without those big eyebrows and fake lashes and overlined lips... Remember the time when women looked different and not all look alike Kim K wannabe? I really miss those times... Leighton looks fresh and natural here
I think Leighton's just the humblest actress I've ever met. She's pretty, dresses and wears makeup modestly, admirable talent.. I think she's just a limited edition of a complete package... always my idol... ^_^
Rosa X she can but whatever you do has consequences ! I’m just warning her because I’m better informed in this case . Look up the meaning of idol sweetie and you will find what it means .
Rosa X Please hop off the comment section because you’re clearly projecting. I said what I said and that’s about it and no I do not claim to know it all I only said that it is treacherous ground because humans are prone to make mistakes so you should only look up to God. This isn’t about me sis simmer down .I’m merely talking about how wrong it is to idolize humans since it can break people’s hearts etc. Honestly ...I don’t know what you are on about but you get the gist.
Spotted: B getting the spotlight all to herself with another blondie. What does S think about this and will this strain their relationship? What lengths will S go to to get herself all the attention? You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl
Imagine a girl who was born into a not so privilege family, never really had a glamorous life and nailed a character that is a very opposite of hers. She is definitely a great actress.
I can already tell what a great actress she is, because even her natural smile is different from Blair's. It's crazy, she just morphs into an entirely different person on Gossip Girl.
I LOVE THAT CZcams SUGGESTED THIS TO ME RIGHT WHEN EVERYONE IS REALIZING HOW FAKE ELLEN IS. Leighton is one of my fav actresses so it really upset me seeing how she evidently got a little bit uncomfortable and felt pressured to pull through and be polite. I hope more videos like this come out that show how Ellen has no remorse and wants to belittle her guests in any way possible
I can't help but marvel at how great of an actress Leighton is! She totally deserves more attention than what she currently is getting! She's gonna make it BIG someday, I just know it! She has real talent!! Wish I could be as talented as her!
@@drchandreshdixit708 hello I am so late but literally Serena is one of the worst if not the worst character on gossip girl lmao from season 3, her scenes were too hard to watch for me because I really wanted to punch her (sorry that sounded too violent), I am happy she ended up with Dan tho, he was the only one that had a really positive influence on her :)
It was very impolite and inappropiate by Ellen to start the interview saying that the parents of Leighton Meester were in prison, especially when it was clear that Leighton didn't want to talk about it, she refused to say "they were in prison" when Ellen asked her about her family circumstances... and finally Ellen said it :S
I love ellen and Ik everything they will talk about is discussed beforehand but I felt so uncomfortable when ellen just blurted out the fact that Leighton’s parents were in prison i mean it’s a pretty sensitive topic
after everything she's been through, she became a strong woman and remain positive.. and now she have a good family. Not all can do that, so proud I am a fan of this lady! 💖
Ellen is so rude the fact she so casually brought up Leightons tragic childhood with absolutely no sympathy Leighton did such a good job answering then personal questions so graciously
I wish Leighton had gone full on Blair on Ellen when she rudely interjected "prison" and made her talk about her private life even though she was so uncomfortable with this
I definitely think Ellen was in the wrong for bringing up her child hood like that.. especially on national television.. not very tasteful in my opinion. Reminds me of my grandmas niece who used to try to get me to discuss my mother’s alcoholism with very distant relatives that I didn’t even know..
Jamie Lee Harrison A lot of people are saying Leighton knew Ellen was going to ask that and I just don't buy it. You can see she was completely blindsided. Talkshows aren't always scripted. People are so naive!
Kira Nolan yeah she looked super astonished that her childhood and her parents being involved in drugs was brought up. I really dislike Ellen for who she is now, and watching old clips like these makes me realize she’s been very dislikable for years
When she said:"It doesn't matter where you come from" she made my day, cos I have a big dream to be international actress and singer but everyone says that I'm not talented and I'll never make it cos I live in a small country (macedonia) :'( She made me believe in my dream, she's my idol
She is the reason gossip girl is such a big success.
And right from the start she could chill out with these questions damn..
Well, her and Ed... : )
Yeah! She is the only one who could act
April Bitar nah Blake lively is an amazing actress
But Blake's the one who got all the popularity and success :( I mean I'm happy for her, but I think other actors deserved some big projects too
Omg...how rude. Why would she blurt out that her parents were in prison. You could tell it made her uncomfortable. I love Blair.
Jenny Jenga yeah i felt so sorry for her when ellen said that:/
Jenny Jenga u know it’s not her actual name right?
Your name is jenny, you neeeed to shut your mouth😂
Jenny Jenga her name is leighton
Jenny Jenga I agree. When I first watched it felt the same way
Leighton is incredible but I found it rather uncomfortable for Ellen to bring up such a sensitive topic.
she's asked if it was ok to talk about it
In every talkshow they in beforehand discuss what's going to be talked about
nerdherd72 you re right! It s not a good question for the beginning...
For me the question was extremely annoying and unnecessary.
Every question is pre-planned.. I've been to a talkshow ... They are almost always scripted
2020 still in love with gossip girl
samee
Sameee
Yessss
anyone know any good tv shows like gossip girl?
Claire Doll FRRR
I think Ellen was very rude in this interview. We are ALL aware that her parents were in jail and she brought it up as if it was Leighton's fault.
I started watching for Blair and Chuck but then I loved the show.
She got the questions before the show. They definitely discuss what they can talk about before the show.
vettriano19 it was still rude though
Bruce Humphrey I couldn’t agree more
even though this is in 2009 where makeup trends weren't the best, her makeup and glow is so pretty!
Fatemah Alfadli she really is so pretty!!😍😍😍
She looked sweet
Why do u make 2009 sound like 1940? They definitely had good makeup trends in 2009
Actually makeup trends from late 00s were so much better than the contemporary are, so much more natural, without those big eyebrows and fake lashes and overlined lips... Remember the time when women looked different and not all look alike Kim K wannabe? I really miss those times... Leighton looks fresh and natural here
She didn't need makeup tbh, still doesn't need makeup
she's literally the opposite of blair
✔ Good acting.
God she's gorgeous
bernie flores ikr
bernie flores not gonna lie so are u
I don't know why Ellen blurred it out that her parents where in Prison, Leighton said she didn't wanted to share the experience. /rude.
kinda yeah
Ellen literally first asked „Can we talk about this?“ and Leighton said yes, so I don’t think that it’s rude
Samira Lodin lol she cant reject her tho she’s on tv
kristy yyy If it’s such a private topic, of course you can reject it. There’s nothing wrong with saying „I don’t really wanna talk about it“
Samira Lodin obvs there’s nothing wrong but there’s sth called publicity
its hard to watch blair without being blair
Diana Uribe I totally agree
After the prison question, Leighton should have asked Ellen what it is like to be a lesbian.
Fuck off.
Literally so rude. Ellen is the first to cry about homophobia but look how obviously uncomfortable she made Leighton
Leighton probably went Blair at that question "I'm Grace Kelly, Grace Kelly is me" to maintain her composure haha
😂😂😂😂 I'm done
Sir Eugene Courtney ik i was like wtf just happened???? How can u even ask that...
When she walked on stage took my breathe away
Lol breathe?😂😂😂
She's really pretty indeed
Did you get it back yet? :D
The reason i hate Ellen "They are in prison,right?"
That truly shocked me. Brutal.
Ellen is toxic
yes....Ellen racism and very cynical
exactly
SHES SOOOOOO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL OMFG
YES
YES
I think Leighton's just the humblest actress I've ever met. She's pretty, dresses and wears makeup modestly, admirable talent.. I think she's just a limited edition of a complete package... always my idol... ^_^
I just got you 1k likes :)
Pandaholic7913 she’s human Don’t idolize humans
Rosa X she can but whatever you do has consequences ! I’m just warning her because I’m better informed in this case . Look up the meaning of idol sweetie and you will find what it means .

Deborah Under Grace yet another religious nut. Suck up to your absentee god all you want and leave other people alone.

Beautiful!!
lol!!
2 years later and it's still funny😂😂
😂😂lmao
I read this just exactly how gossip girl would😂😂
Imagine a girl who was born into a not so privilege family, never really had a glamorous life and nailed a character that is a very opposite of hers. She is definitely a great actress.
Just watching gossip girl for the first time and she’s legit incredible. Love seeing an actor make their way up through their own talent
I can already tell what a great actress she is, because even her natural smile is different from Blair's. It's crazy, she just morphs into an entirely different person on Gossip Girl.
Musical Pears Yeah she really does.
Ellen was so out of order here; I wish Leighton had gone Blair Waldorf on her and took her DOWN
I am happy she did not. It just proves her smart. :) Isnt it good like that? :)
Eszter TOTH yes, she’s a class act! Unlike Ellen.
I've watched GG only to see her! Who else?
same. i skip all the other scenes
I LOVE THAT CZcams SUGGESTED THIS TO ME RIGHT WHEN EVERYONE IS REALIZING HOW FAKE ELLEN IS. Leighton is one of my fav actresses so it really upset me seeing how she evidently got a little bit uncomfortable and felt pressured to pull through and be polite.

She doesn't sound the way she does in gossip girl on here
Shes an amazing actress
She does, but that snobby attitude is missing 😉
She was portraying a jew so what do you expect.
DemiRaeMarie yh her voice is deeper here
@@sireugenecourtney5797 Umm what
At first I hated Blair and chuck. Then I hated Serena later on because she turned into such a mean person. Then I loved chuck and Blair.
TheBlueEyedBlondies I HATED Serena!
@@daniellenapoles9391 I still hate Serena
exactly the same for me
@@drchandreshdixit708 hello I am so late but literally Serena is one of the worst if not the worst character on gossip girl lmao from season 3, her scenes were too hard to watch for me because I really wanted to punch her (sorry that sounded too violent), I am happy she ended up with Dan tho, he was the only one that had a really positive influence on her :)
dude, was just a show :p
She is beautiful. And most importantly she's a great great actress. Wish her the best
Ellen genuinely doesn’t think of others feelings when she asks her selfish questions. Very professional response from Leighton 👏🏽
Leighton is such a beautiful human being, look at that glow, pretty face, gorgeous body and killer legs. HOW
"It doesn't matter where you come from, you can achieve good things" So true!! I love Leighton:)
SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL OMG.
2021 anyone?
GOSSIP GIRL ISNT ON Netflix ANYMOREEEEE :(
Yeah. It’s my stress reliever. I always watch it :(
it is!!
It's in prime
It was very impolite and inappropiate by Ellen to start the interview saying that the parents of Leighton Meester were in prison, especially when it was clear that Leighton didn't want to talk about it, she refused to say "they were in prison" when Ellen asked her about her family circumstances... and finally Ellen said it :S
She is so beautiful
Shes so pretty it hurts
i LOVE this woman not only for her beauty inside out but for how talented, smart and mature she is...I truly respect her
I love ellen and Ik everything they will talk about is discussed beforehand but I felt so uncomfortable when ellen just blurted out the fact that Leighton’s parents were in prison i mean it’s a pretty sensitive topic
Shruti M ..Agree but i think Ellen wanna show us that no matter where u came from ...someday somehow your life will change .
Are you dutch?
I don't think she knew Ellen was going to be so rude
I started watching Gossip Girl recently lol i wish id watched it sooner I love Leighton plus shes so pretty
I remember this feeling that I had one year ago. You would never believe what will happen in the coming seasons.
Vanessa Leighton ahaha i know right? :P i finished the series back in february ahhh
Ellen is the rudest interviewer ever ! uh let the poor girl speak and don’t be so insensitive with interview questions. Just atrocious !
omg leighton is so beautiful omg
I love Ellen, but what the hell is she rambling on about
2019 anyone? and Ellen caught me off guard with that prison statement like wow. Leighton handled it so well. God can turn your situation around x
That dress is so beautiful on her ! Also love the way she carries herself
Watching this in 2019 🤪 I miss Blair so much
Ellen brought up a very sensitive topic
Watching her as Blair and watching her on Ellen but honestly she's so pretty and humble
aahana kulkarni Yes she seems very humble.
the fact that’s she so different to Blair just proves what a great actress she is
Leighton handled the awkward moment and Ellen’s insensitivity with so much grace
Spotted: b getting all the attention I wonder what s would say now that she's not in the spotlight
Alissa Tyler shut up
ghufran al lol
Lol
i love how glamorous was in the background when she walked in
..2018 hi.. i guess nobodys watching this rn
i am lol

I am
I ammmn
I am
See how Leighton was treated here. I like her even more.
Wow this was 10 years ago! Can’t believe it’s been that long. Blair was my favorite in gossip girl. Love that show
She is PERFECTION!!!!! :) :)
I can't imagine Gossip Girl without her , I love her she is the best caracther🤩
Blair in season 5 and 6 is literally the best thing ever, Leighton did such an amazing job!
she’s so beautiful and just has the best personality ever! one of the greatest celebrities
leighton is absolutely enchanting
She survived the peer pressure! Well done girl!
4:06 I think that was the first time I've heard her laugh HER LAUGH IS SOO CUTE
she's such a great actress, I can't wait for her to land some epic role and finally get the attention she deserves
Oh she STRUTTED out🔥🤩 glowing and leggy
She is incredibly talented 🥺
wow she played Blair soooooo well considering how she grew up!
stan leighton
This was 10 years ago wow😮
11 niw
She had such an awful life growing up with her horrible and abusive mother. I'm glad she got out of that dynamic and found some peace in life.
9 years later and I still love Leighton so much that my heart blooms.😭❤️♥️🦋
Oh my.. hotness overload!
after everything she's been through, she became a strong woman and remain positive.. and now she have a good family. Not all can do that, so proud I am a fan of this lady! 💖
Xoxo gossip girl! ❤ she's lovely! And I love her dress!!!
Ellen is so rude the fact she so casually brought up Leightons tragic childhood with absolutely no sympathy Leighton did such a good job answering then personal questions so graciously
I needed to watch this interview today :( props to her for being self made and coming from such a crazy past
i needed to see this interview like hearing her story like what she said i needed this
She is so pretty and humble. She is definitely a great actress to put so much effort into the character of blair since she is nothing like her❤
it's kinda weird seeing her so nice in real life LOL. but she is so fricken beautiful and.... just wow
Always GossipGirl❤️❤️❤️❤️
3 words,eight letters, I LOVE HER
Wish I could meet a woman like that. What a sweetie!

She is gorgeous inside out.
She has great skin tone, so beautiful and warm.

I wish Leighton had gone full on Blair on Ellen when she rudely interjected "prison" and made her talk about her private life even though she was so uncomfortable with this
I love Leighton!
The quality of this video is SO AWESOME!!
Thank you xx ♥
God she is so beautiful 🤩
Naturally beautiful watching in 2019
"I want to do so many things -- and maybe someday a lot of it will be impossible, but right now I don't see the impossible." --Leighton Meester♥
Gossip girl one of the greatest series ❤
shes just amazing she inspires me soo much from the way she rised to fame i love you !!!!!!!!!
She's so different from Blair. Just proves what an amazing actress she is. :)
I definitely think Ellen was in the wrong for bringing up her child hood like that.. especially on national television.. not very tasteful in my opinion.

2020 and ive rewatched gossip girl and the characters interviews around 30 times😌
Shes sooooo beautiful.... love her and an amazing actor... fucking big fan
i wish her music was more successful she has such a nice voice :(
When she said:"It doesn't matter where you come from" she made my day, cos I have a big dream to be international actress and singer but everyone says that I'm not talented and I'll never make it cos I live in a small country (macedonia) :'(
She made me believe in my dream, she's my idol
What do you do for that dream? Bc only dreaming isn’t enough
Two of my favourites! the more I find out about Leighton the more I love her
happy birthday! 10 years since this video!!
