Leighton Meester resisting to falling in Love! The Gossip Girl actress, 23, cover the British Glamour for December Issue. She is in No interest to fall in love anytime sooner. She said: "I always resist falling in love, my problem is, I lose interest. Every time I’ve fallen in love, it’s just momentary."
And Meester certainly hasn’t kept in touch with any of her ex-boyfriends - in fact she would rather forget them completely.
She says: "Honestly, I’ve hated every boyfriend I’ve had." Hopefully that doesn’t include Meester’s current beau, Romanian-born Sebastian Stan, who stars alongside her in the CW hit show, on which he plays Chuck Bass’s rival, Carter Baizen.
On the plus side, having a heavy heart makes for great music, and Meester certainly did some soul searching while making her first record: "Somebody To Love."
"A lot of inspiration comes from my own life, because that’s what I know," the actress-turned-singer says matter-of-factly. "I draw from past relationships and really sh—y ones."
Despite such unlucky-in-love status, Meester is still holding out for the real deal. "I don’t want to have a boyfriend unless I want to be with him forever." But her cautious heart remains: "If I don’t see an end, that’s nice. Because I always see an end."

Talking about her stylish ways, along with her love of tattoos, the 21-year-old tells, “I don’t plan my tattoos. It’s always something that I love…. nothing I wear is comfortable besides my underwear. The shoes, the clothes are pretty uncomfortable.”
Watch out Rihanna’s acceptance speech below:
After weeping, she wiped her tears from her eyes, She said…Sorry, I’m PMSing.
As usual, I decided to wear the tightest dress I could find. Shoutout to Amy!
I am shaking right now - I am so nervous - but overwhelmed and honored by this honor to be Glamour’s Woman of the Year.
I didn’t even know I had to speak, I didn’t know what kind of event it was, I didn’t know anything until a few hours ago. I had to say to [poet] Maya Angelou, I love you but you made this terribly more difficult for me. (pulls out piece of paper) So I made a little thank-you so I wouldn’t forget anybody.
First, thank you to Iman - it’s very incredible that you’re presenting me with an award. It was a real honor to be named Glamour’s Woman of the Year, especially because I think of myself as just becoming a woman. I just turned 21 this year.
Just to be mentioned in this group of women is overwhelming. I love being a part of a night where we’re celebrating women and such strong women. Thank you, Glamour, for giving me Woman of the Year. Thank you, [Glamour editor-in-chief] Cindi Leive. [JustJared.com] I also want to thank all the people who helped get me here. Melissa [Forde], my best friend, Krista, Mark, [Roc Nation executive] Jay Brown, Jay-Z, [producer] L.A. Reid, everyone on my label at Def Jam, my girls (stylist) Mariel [Haenn], (makeup artist) Mylah [Morales], (hairdresser) Ursula [Stephen]. They help me look cute! Everyone at Revlon, and my entire family who flew here from Barbados - shout-out to you mommy, hi!
I really look up to my gran-gran and my mom. They are my two women of the year. I love you very much, granny. I love you very much, mom.
They’ve shown me what strong women can accomplish and achieve. Without their unconditional love and guidance, I wouldn’t be here and I hope I can be an example to young girls and women today. Thanks so much.
Gwen Stefani is wrapped up in pink on the October 2009 cover of Glamour. Here’s what the 39-year-old No Doubt front woman opened up about:
On the Gwen Stefani universe of fashion: “The whole Tragic Kingdom thing started with Disneyland, which I grew up near. I loved everything from Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music to Bob Marley to ska bands. A little bit English, a little bit rock.
On what surprises her about being a mom: “How hard it is…everything from getting up in the morning to trying to be consistent to trying to have the right feelings. But, of course, the rewards are so great.”
On Gavin Rossdale’s daddy skills: “I always thought he’d be a good dad. And he has basically lived up to that and beyond, beyond. He’s very, very passionate, and he’s very intense. He’s made to be a dad. I’m very lucky.”
On why she’s not in the tabloids much: “Maybe my crazy time is coming up. Let’s see what happens. Maybe I’m just a late bloomer. But I think it’s also just my nature.”
On her parents being strict: “I was thinking today when I was driving, ‘How am I going to make sure that [my son] Kingston never does anything bad and doesn’t get arrested?’ I was thinking, ‘How did I stay out of trouble?’ And I know it’s just ’cause my parents are so strict. I mean, I’m still scared of them.
On blonde hair & red lipstick: “That’s my whole obsession with old Hollywood. I always loved watching all those old movies, and still do—if I had time.”
There’s just something about these Blake Lively pictures from Glamour magazine that look quite familiar. Either they’ve been used before or they’re the exact same kind of pictures Blake always takes. That’s definitely not a bad thing because Blake is a pretty nice girl to look at. I don’t mind it one bit. I can stare at Blake Lively for a long time without a problem. That cleavage definitely helps out matters! Check the pictures of Blake Lively and tell me if they just seem exactly the same as all the others.
