"As bad girl Blair Waldorf in this year's breakout hit, Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester has stolen the spotlight with her mind-blowing good looks and amazing performance," writes FHM.
Meester was named by Vanity Fair as one of today's hot young thing in its August issue, along with Jessica Szohr, Penn Badgley, Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick and Taylor Momsen. She also made it to the cover of Lucky magazine as TV's best dressed new star.
Meester, 22, has encountered meanness in her life but not of the degree that her character in the TV series exudes.
"There was always one little girl in each grade that was mean to me. But I was never mean to anyone. I was never like, 'Ew!'?"
Meester, who appeared in season one of Entourage as Justine Chapin, will reprise her role in season five, appearing in at least one episode in the first half of the season. Season five of the show is set to premiere in September.
Meester and Blake Lively will be guest starring on NBC's 30 Rock this season, playing former high school acquaintances of Tina Fey's character, Liz Lemon, in what is currently slated to be the fourth episode and will air in November.
Meester has been singing and writing songs for the past couple of years. During the break between the seasons, she worked on her debut album which is almost complete, though no release date has been finalized.
Others who feature on FHM list of 10 Fall TV's hottest stars are Hayden Panettiere ("Heroes"), Madeline Zima ("Californication"), Deanna Russo ("Knight Rider"), Jamie-Lynn Sigler ("Entourage"), Jaime King ("Gary Unmarried"), Summer Glau ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), Kaley Cuoco ("Big Bang Theory"), Dania Ramirez ("Heroes") and Eva Longoria Parker ("Desperate Housewives")
