Entertainment News: leighton meester

For Leighton Meester, a role in a raunchy comedy like "That's My Boy" gave her the freedom to show off her comedy side not often seen on "Gossip Girl."

The 26-year-old actress told OnTheRedCarpet.com host Rachel Smith at the film's premiere about her role, "I feel like it gave me total freedom and maybe that's sort of a bad thing in life to be able to be like, 'I could have a totally dirty sense of humor, I can make all these fart jokes and noises and just do really weird stuff.'"

"Gossip Girl" returns on January 16 after a heart-wrenching cliff-hanger.

But Ed Westwick, who portrays Chuck Bass on the CW series doesn't seem worried for his character's fate and dropped some spoilers for the upcoming 100th episode (Spoiler Alert).

"Gossip Girl" returns on Monday, September 26, for a fifth season that will see its main star, New York socialite Blair Waldorf, caught in a love triangle, or possibly a love square, amid wedding preparations.

Warning: Spoilers ahead! Check out teaser clips for season 5 of "Gossip Girl."
