Leighton Meester Performs Alongside Weezer

From covering Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” to sharing the living room stage with Taylor Swift, Weezer’s front man Rivers Cuomo seems to enjoy cozying up to cute pop stars as of late. Cuomo has now moved on to aspiring pop princesses, like Leighton Meester.

During an All Hallow’s Eve show in New York, the Gossip Girl actress performed a supposedly-spontaneous duet for the band’s latest single,  “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To.”

While her voice is lost in the video (who wouldn’t be intimidated?), I’m more concerned about her multi-colored leggings, sci-fi-inspired jacket, and Amy Winehouse hair.

Vanity Fair’s Young Hollywood Issue

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Photos

Earlier this year, Vanity Fair devoted one of its issues to the ‘Fresh Faces of 2008.’ Now the magazine is focusing its attention on ‘Hollywood’s New Wave.’ What’s the difference? I have absolutely no idea.

In the August edition, readers will be able to find some of the younger generation’s brightest stars (e.g. the cast of Gossip Girl, the Jonas Brothers). They’ll also be introduced to others still making their mark.

Will all of the chosen be names still heard years from now? Probably not. But that’s what makes these issues quite interesting to me. I always find it fun trying to predict those who’ll have lasting power and those who’ll burn out quickly.

You can see some of those youthful stars after the jump. The rest of them can be found here.
