You guys, this Leighton Meester Pop Star Phase is going to get really, really tiresome.

Here she is arriving at the KIIS FM Jingle Ball thingie. She looks…well, listen, I can’t lie. She looks like she was wearing a white dress and someone pushed her onto the floor of a New York subway car. But I’m sure it cost like $6000 and therefore we’re all supposed to have the vapors over how directional it is, or some shit. Whatever. It’s fine compared to what she changed into for her performance:

SIGH. She looks like she’s moonlighting in a particularly kinky version of Cabaret, crossed with the cover of Leather Shorts Monthly, or — as we call it in the industry — Why God, Why? Which is the question that springs to mind whenever I start thinking about Leighton Meester: Pop Star. Like, there is nothing wrong about challenging yourself and trying new things, but NOR is there anything wrong with being really good at one thing and focusing on it until you’re the BEST at it. Leighton Meester is easily the best actor on Gossip Girl – which becomes even more clear when you see her speak out of character — but Meryl Streep she is not, therefore I feel like her using her off-time to make a pop album is kind of as if Magic Johnson had taken a year off between college and the NBA to focus on his basket-weaving. PLUS leather shorts and a faux-bra that appears to be constructed of velour. MAKE IT STOP.
