Gossip Teen

It’s a wintertime Gossip Girl-palooza magazine round up. After Jessica Szohr’s Teen Vogue and 2Magazine covers, Taylor Momsen grabs the Seventeen headline; now Leighton Meester comes all vamped up for Austrailia’s Cleo Magazine. Talking about her shoe love, Meester says:

“I love Jimmy Choo and Louis Vuitton. I really like Sergio Rossi a lot, too. Plus I’m a fan of Moschino – there shoes are always so cute.”

Ok, now I happen to like Meester, Momsen and Szohr but how about a little guy time – Chace Crawford has been laying too low lately.

Miley Cyrus gave a great interview to Austrailian show Take40. ‘The Climb’ singer spoke about the song and how it has helped fans to see her in a more grown-up way, and she gave some details about her relationship with Liam Hemsworth, her co-star in her upcoming movie, The Last Song.

I thought it was a great interview from her and gave us a glimpse into a (perhaps?) unhappiness with regards to ‘Party In The USA’ and the ‘politics’ behind doing that particular song or songs like it. Cyrus told MTV that it “is not even my style of music,” and she has made statements about moving in a new direction musically. She has completed a cover of 80′s rock ballad ‘Every Rose Has It’s Thorn’ with Poison frontman Bret Michaels giving her version a thumbs up saying she “nailed the song.”

She’s certainly entitled to want to change her image, style or anything else and is facing what challenges many teen stars – growing up in the public eye. I’m looking forward to what she wants to do next.

The theatrical release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon is still a month away yet from the amount of press Summit Entertainment is having the film leads do (Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner,) you’d think it was only a week to go. That being said here is yet another interview with Robert Pattinson. Not too much new information from the guy – he’s still uncomfortable with the media frenzy that surrounds him and he’s relieved to not be in New Moon as much as he was in Twilight. He does however delve a bit into another project he has coming up with Hugh Jackman; Unbound Captives. The actor hung out with Jackman in Japan (both were promoting movies) and Pattinson said:

“We went karaoke singing,” he laughs. “We were singing Abba songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an Abba song sing-off, you know, last man standing.”

Who won? “I think he did, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune. He’s a cool guy and I’m really looking forward to that film.”

Captives sounds like a great departure for Rob. The film is a western set in the late 1800′s about a woman who has to search for her two kidnapped sons. It will also star Rachel Weisz and is currently slated to begin filming at the end of the year.

Pattinson’s other non-Twilight project, Remember Me with Emilie de Ravin and Pierce Brosnan is due out in February of 2010. In case you’ve forgotten, New Moon is due out November 20th.
