Ahh, summer. We're only days away from the year's seminal season, and it appears we may have our first big celebrity scandal. Reports abound that a video showing Leighton Meester (one of the "no one would care if 'Gossip Girl' weren't the current 'it' show" girls—Blake Lively would be the other) naked and using her "talented feet"—TMZ's words, not mine—on a lucky (and apparently enterprising) ex-boyfriend has surfaced. That's a far cry from her Entourage character, "Justine", who used her "chastity" for PR.Or is it? Though the hype surrounding this story is steadily growing, nothing has been substantiated as of yet. And these days, I suspect these lascivious tales to be covert publicity stunts, especially when they are exposed—pardon the pun—as mere rumors. Meester is a "rising starlet" (again, not my words) with a somewhat innocent resume. No onscreen nudity, works on a teen-targeted network drama; really, the only less-than-wholesome moment of her career thus far came on Entourage, when she teased Vince about giving him the best head he's ever had. So a sex tape hoax right about now would be suspiciously fortuitous. A movie producer casting a provocative role in a big-budget film may have looked past Meester last week; now, perhaps she's one of the first names to pop into his mind. In Hollywood, image is everything.
Maybe I'm wrong, though. Maybe she's into foot play and other erotic acts. And maybe she loves having a camera on her at all times, not just those where a script and paycheck are involved. Maybe she's a dirty, dirty slut, and video evidence of it will soon be made available to the world. I, personally, am hoping for the tape to be a sham.Not out of any disillusionment that she's really of upstanding moral fabric, mind you. I just don't want any added boost to Gossip Girl's ratings.
