Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester pulled hosting duties at the American Outfitters opening in Times Square a few days ago. She also performed her “Somebody to Love” track for the massive crowd which included guests: Michelle Trachtenberg, Eric Mabius and Adrian Grenier.

From what I was told from the inside, her performance matched her carpet outfit (she changed for the performance) and smeared on looking makeup – lackluster at best.

In her mind however, I am sure it was a dollar earned and a mile-stone achieved if only ala Britney Spears. Stick to the studio, sweetie!
