Puppy Love on Gossip Girl!

Aug 10, 2010 @ 1:23 pm

Spotted: Leighton Meester and Clemence Poesy bonding over adorable pups on the set of Gossip Girl! Both stars sported ladylike full skirts, Meester in a bright belted Reem Acra shirtdress and Poesy—staying true to her understated Parisian style—in a chic navy and white flowered skirt and classic tan bag—tiny pooch in hand! We can’t help but wonder if the cute puppies were an attempt to calm the tension between Eva (Poesy’s character), whose rumored love interest is Blair’s notorious ex Chuck Bass, and the Queen B. Whatever the case, the two ladies were all smiles while shooting the scene at an Adopt-a-Pet in Queens.

Reese Witherspoon will star in an upcoming biopic of legendary musician and actress Peggy Lee. Lee is considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of all time—she is famous for her cover version of Little Willie John’s “Fever”—and Witherspoon secured the rights to her story after meeting with Lee’s granddaughter, Holly Foster-Wells. Witherspoon has already won an Oscar for her role in a music biopic—she played June Carter Cash in Walk the Line, and this film, which will be written and directed by Nora Ephron, is set to be in the same vein: a personal and professional account of Lee’s life.
