A sunkissed and flirty Leighton Meester hit up the red carpet of the premiere of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 in NYC on July 28 to support "Gossip Girl" co-star Blake Lively in her return to playing Bridget in the popular film. With her hair loose and wavy, Leighton shined in a sultry LBD (check out similar offerings like Miguelina's Hope Dress in Black or Black Halo's Jackie O Dress in Black) and black strappy stilettos. Work it, LM! Just in time for the countdown to the second season of "GG," drama rumors are running rampant on the 'net. Last season, it seems that Nan Zhang (who played one of Blair and Serena's friends) was kicked off because Leighton hated her and couldn't stand hanging out with her on set, and this season, the cast is allegedly deciding to be pretty mean to the new castmember who is said to be a romantic interest of Blake's off-screen boyfriend, Penn Badgely. Got that? A source says, "the cast is doing this because they don't want to upset Blake. Blake is allegedly marking Penn as her territory by making out with him after every single take, and it's making everyone uncomfortable." What is this, a professional television cast or a high school drama club?
