Leighton Meester Get Record Deal
Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) (23) has just a record deal with Universal Republic through Time-Act Music.  She is going to be releasing a CD in the fall.  She plans to work with producers Polow Da Don, Harvey Mason Jr., and Spencer Nezey.  Her CD is going to have an electro-pop edge to it.

Leighton is one more actress who got bit by the song bug.  I’ve never heard her sing before so I don’t know if she’s any good at it.  Since she’s doing music that I am not too familiar with, I probably won’t be buying her CD.  It’s going to be really hard for her to be taken seriously as a singer since she is known for acting.  Hopefully people will be able to get past Blair Waldorf and still be able to enjoy her music.  There aren’t too many successful actors-turned singers so hopefully she won’t be one of them.

Gospel Star Timothy Wright News
Gospel start Timothy Wright (61) has died.  He died last Thursday from complications following an accident that he was in last July.  His wife and grandson were killed in the accident back in July.  Timothy never fully recovered from the critical injuries he suffered after the accident.  My heart goes out to his family after losing so many members so close together.

Jay Leno Hospitalized
The Tonight Show host Jay Leno (58) was hospitalized on Thursday.  There’s no word on what caused his injuries. He had to cancel a taping because he had to be taken to the hospital.  His rep said that there is nothing seriously wrong with him. I hope that’s true and that he’s okay.
