Gossip Girl continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, as Leighton Meester joins Blake Lively and Michelle Trachtenburg (and don't worry, there's more where that came from) on our list. Leighton plays Blair, one of the various shallow, self-obsessed, backstabbing, and elitist main characters of the ensemble cast. It's worth noting that Leighton has been quoted as saying that she identifies with Blair "on every level, in one way or another." Well, hey, at least she has the self-awareness to know they're both totally hot.
By the by, "Leighton Meester" really sounds like it ought to be some sort of mutual-funds investing group rather than a blazing hottie, but the world doesn't always give you exactly what you'd expect.
