IZE OF THE WORLD

Leighton Meester is an actress on the popular show “Gossip Girls,” about rich bourgeois teenagers in New York City.

Here is a picture of her playing Blair Waldorf, courtesy of tvguide.com.

JustJared.com reported that Meester is thinking about branching out to create a rap album. She told JustJared that she has a huge range of songs.

“”[On] some of them I just talk, I do a little – not rapping – but talking, sort of spoken word. It’s a little Fergie, a little like Gwen Stefani and M.I.A.,” she said.

From the PR standpoint, this could be beneficial for her. If Meester puts out a rap album, it will be another medium for her to use to get more buzz and publicity for herself. She could possibly branch out to other people besides the audience that watches her show, which is mainly teenage girls. She could appeal to music and rap fans. Becoming a double threat is good for her image because it shows that she is multi-talented and versatile. It will be interesting to see what type of music she would produce.
