October 14, 2023,
If your love for her makes you feel like a worshiper, you have plenty of excuses that have led you to this point.
She is incredibly beautiful.
She is a wonderful actress who can portray a wide array of personalities, none of them appearing to be the same.
She has given you incredible memories that will last a lifetime.
Are we close?
Now, remember what we said. You are not a worshiper, though your love for her might make you feel like one. We get it because we feel the same way. About who (blushing)?
The completely gorgeous Leighton Meester, with that Gossip Girl, knowing look in her eye.
She is at it again. We just saw another Leighton Meester movie on Netflix.
Now in case you can’t leave your worship alter, first the basics.
Leighton is an American actress, singer, and model.
Talk about following your dreams.
She is known for her starring role as scheming socialite Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, which ran between 2007 and 2012 on The CW.
She has also appeared in films such as Killer Movie (2008), Country Strong (2010), The Roommate (2011), Monte Carlo (2011), The Oranges (2011), The Judge (2014) and The Weekend Away (2022). She portrayed Angie D’Amato on the ABC sitcom Single Parents (2018–2020).
No stranger to stage, Leighton made her Broadway debut in Of Mice and Men (2014).
We are impressed. Can’t you see why we are smitten by her?
Here, in part, is what Femcompetitor Magazine said about our beautiful luminary in April of 2021, regarding her glorious years at Gossip Girl, “Pretentious, shallow, insincere and contentious.
They drink a lot of alcohol too with fancy last names that you may have never heard of.
Those last names certainly did not exist in our Texas neighborhood.
And the cars. Wait, they don’t drive cars. It’s New York City. They are driven in limos.
With a tight smile on their face they will issue lines like, “I always knew that you were a whore. I didn’t know you were a liar too”.
Ouch. Could you please say what you are really thinking?
That’s who they are and you know what? You can’t wait to be one of them, be with them or do the next best thing.
Watch them on TV.
Why?
Because they are also young, cool, witty, absolutely gorgeous and very rich.
No, make that super rich.
They have last names like Van Der Woodsen.
Do you know any Van Der Woodsens?”
Well, we don’t walk in those Gossip Girl circles but we sure wish that we did.
So, what is Leighton up to now?
Making another exciting movie of course. This time for Netflix.
At imdb.com here is the tagline for River Wild, “Follows a pair of siblings who love but distrust each other as they embark on a white-water rafting trip with a small group. One of their friends from childhood turns out to be more dangerous than he appears.”
They have good reason to distrust one another. As usual, the issues stem from childhood.
Leighton’s character Joey, a doctor, appears to be having boyfriend issues, as she drives towards her Wild River destination.
Once she meets up with everyone, things do not appear to be as they should, like her brother inviting his ex-con friend to go along with them.
Focusing on Leighton, her character is so different than her others that is took a while before we realized it was Leighton. We didn’t research this movie ahead of time. We just wanted to be entertained and began to watch it. Our glamor girl looks very ordinary here. It was certain facial expressions that she made which made us recognize it was Leighton.
As we said, she knows how to play them differently.
As usual, Leighton elevates the script and makes the movie much better with her character portrayals.
This is a solid watchable movie, with a few spots where you wonder why the characters set themselves up to be murdered, but hey, that is what horror films do. Clichés and bad decisions abound.
We look forward to her next project on screen. Truly.
In real life, Leighton is involved in many incredible projects that help others and keep her busy.
At her Facebook, one of her recent posts state, “Right now, one in six kids faces hunger or is food insecure. I’m proud to join @ShamrockFarms and @Subway to support my friends at @FeedingAmerica. This #NationalMilkDay, Jan. 11, get a Shamrock Farms milk with a kid’s meal at Subway restaurants and they’ll donate $1 to Feeding America to help feed communities in need this new year. Please join us to make a difference for a family or child facing hunger. #sponsored.”
Very impressive.
Who is Feeding America? Time for a closer look.
Feeding America is a United States–based nonprofit organization that is a nationwide network of more than 200 food banks that feed more than 46 million people through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other community-based agencies.
Forbes ranks it as the largest U.S. charity by revenue.
Feeding America receives financial and in-kind support from a wide variety of corporations, non-profit organizations, and individual donors, including in the form of direct food donations and advocacy support.
At their home feedingamerica.org they share, “Our mission is to advance change in America by ensuring equitable access to nutritious food for all in partnership with food banks, policymakers, supporters, and the communities we serve. The Feeding America network reaches every county in the country. Our programs help provide meals to children, seniors, families, and survivors of natural disasters.”
What an incredible cause.
We appreciate you again Leighton.
The closer we watch Leighton (on the silver screen of course), the more we love her.
She captivates, entertains and brings a unique brand of enlightenment and skills to her characters.
So, it may seem like it, but we are not worshiping her (please don’t look at us like that), but due to how crazy we are about her, sometimes it feels like it.
