Fresh off of a big weekend in which her movie "The Roommate" topped the box office, Leighton Meester got another week of work duties underway on the "Gossip Girl" set in New York City on Monday (February 7).
The brunette beauty looked a bit tuckered out as she readied to film scenes alongside co-stars Penn Badgley and Katie Cassidy.
The outing comes as fans can look forward to a new "Gossip Girl" episode airing tonight on The CW at 9/8c.
Titled "Panic Roommate," a synopsis via the show's website reads: "Blair (Leighton Meester) enlists Nate's (Chace Crawford) help to win over her high-strung boss, Epperly (guest star Caitlin Fitzgerald), at W Magazine. Damien (guest star Kevin Zegers) stirs up more drama on the Upper East Side. Chuck (Ed Westwick) finds himself torn between business and pleasure. Florence and the Machine performs an acoustic version of 'Cosmic Love.'"
‘Gossip Girl’ Katie Cassidy Ate Cake for 15 Hours Straight
Gossip Girl’s Katie Cassidy (24) wants to share a food story:
“I’m a healthy eater and before I went to Budapest I was experimenting being vegan and had been vegan for like six months, and Budapest is like, literally goulash and pulled pork. And day one on the set, the directer came up to me and was like, ‘How do you feel about cake? Can you eat cake in this scene?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, actually it would be really funny if my character was scarfing down cake in this scene.’
“So little did I realize that this actual scene took 15 hours to shoot, so I was eating cake for 15 hours straight and I ate two full cakes to myself.” And Cassidy spent the following three weeks in pain as a result. She adds, “I’m telling you, when you go from being vegan to eating cake like that, your bowels are frozen for probably three weeks!”
Katie Cassidy Throws Sister a LAVO Bachelorette Bash
Making for quite the fine reason to celebrate, Katie Cassidy threw her sister a bachelorette party in New York City on Saturday night (October 23).
The Cassidy gals and a few friends made their way over to LAVO New York, smiling while posing for a few pictures in between drinks and dancing at the Big Apple hotspot.
In related news, Miss Cassidy recently spoke with HollywoodLife about the transition as a newcomer to the already established cast of "Gossip Girl".
Revealing that Leighton Meester helped make it easier, she said, “I knew most of them before we started shooting but I’m really close to Leighton Meester. She’s definitely someone I spend a lot of time with."
As for Katie and Leighton's non-work preferences, Miss Cassidy told, “She takes me to a bunch of restaurants, I love the West Village. I’m really close with her because we just did a movie over in Europe recently, so we literally went from Europe straight to New York.” (Hollywood Gossip)
