Breaking Fashion TV News: Project Runway: Accessories Spin-off Sold To Lifetime, Leighton Meester To Leave Gossip Girl
By Leah Chernikoff
Leighton Meester is taking off her Gossip Girl headband for good. In two years, that is. E!‘s Mark Malkin is reporting that Meester will leave the fashionable soap when her contract is up.
The show has been generous in letting its stars rearrange their schedules to accommodate filming for movies, like Meester’s upcoming Country Strong opposite Gwyneth Paltrow.
When asked if the show would end in two years, Meester said, “I don’t know…but I think there’s that old saying about wanting to go out on top.” Meester’s Blair is pretty much the best thing about the show so we can’t imagine it would fare well without her. So soak up these last two years GG fans! XOXO.
And in fashion reality TV news, Harvey Weinstein has sold a Project Runway spin-off, Project Runway: Accessories, to Lifetime, Nikki Finke is reporting. So it seems following last season’s emotionally impacting storyline, there’s an audience out there for more Runway. Who the judges and experts will be, in addition to how the challenges will play out (Finke wonders how a jewelry designer will cobble a shoe) remains to be seen. But we’d put money on Marie Claire accessories editor and street style darling Taylor Tomasi-Hill as a judge.
