Leighton Meester and Blake Lively: "Gossip Girl" Gals

Continuing work on their hit series, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester and Chace Crawford teamed up on the set of "Gossip Girl" in New York City on Tuesday (November 30).

The trio spent the entire day in front of the cameras as they shoot scenes for the current season - which will see an episode titled "The Townie" airing next Monday (December 6) at 9/8c on The CW.

A synopsis of the new episode via the show's website reads: "Blair (Leighton Meester) and Dan (Penn Badgley) join forces to track down an MIA Juliet (guest star Katie Cassidy). Chuck (Ed Westwick) begins to suspect Lily (Kelly Rutherford) isn't telling him the full truth. Kevin Zegers guest stars as Damien."

Aside from "Gossip Girl," Miss Meester recently spoke with Us magazine about working with Gwyneth Paltrow on the movie "Country Strong".

Leighton gushed, "She [Gwyneth] is full of surprises. As an actress, she is so giving and talented. She's super down-to-earth and she makes dirty jokes. She's just a cool chick."

The 24-year-old added, "She's gorgeous without any makeup on! She came to set at 5:00 a.m. looking really hot."
