Thanks for the links. She looks stunning in Gotham and that interview was good. I'm not sure what to think of this:

Lynne Spears isn't the only celebrity mom coming out with a book about her
daughter.

E! News has learned exclusively that Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester's mother Connie Meester, who gave birth to her daughter while doing time in a Texas prison for a drug-related crime, may soon be coming to a bookshelf near you.

Connie's manager Loch Powell confirms that Mama Meester is currently penning "a memoir," which began as a screenplay "3 or 4 years ago," but that she has yet to find a publisher.

The book will reportedly tell her life journey from drug ring co-conspirator to suburban real estate agent to author and, of course, to the rearing of her TV star child.

I read that earlier. Interesting.

I guess Star was right then. That's a shocker! I still have to give credit for Leighton on how she has handled this whole thing.

**crazycait714** · 09-06-2008, 11:19 AM

I know, i do too.

I definitely admire Leighton for getting where she is now. I've liked her from the first time I saw her in Surface. I gotta say though, I think Star is a despicable for outing a person like that, even though it is true.

ITA, i just hope the media doesn't harassing her with this now, it must be painful

I hate that her own mother has to write a book about her. Why do mothers have to cash in on their childrens fame!

{Melody} · 09-07-2008, 07:47 AM

I totally agree with you! ^

**forever young** · 09-07-2008, 10:25 AM

ICA with you Emma! to me, I totally understand when a celeb wants to write their own autobiography/self-written book, but when a parent comes along and wants to capatilize on their child's fame... it just disgusts me.

it really makes me admire Leighton even more.

**TheMusicLives** · 09-07-2008, 10:35 AM

I love Leighton. She's just... so much deeper than people give her credit for.

And she's from Florida, like me.

No one was starting the new thread, so I went ahead and did it.

NEW THREAD!
