梅斯特后退出 《绯闻女孩》前途堪忧

梅斯特在接受媒体采访时坦诚，“显然，我很享受拍摄这部电视剧的过程，已经在纽约度过的时光。”不过她还是想《绯闻女孩》的制作人，透露了意愿，希望可以参与到其他的电影工作当中。在谈到接演电影《乡谣情缘》时，梅斯特将之称为是“为电视剧结束之时所做的准备。”

然而莉顿并非唯一一为要与《GG》分手的演员，17岁的“叛逆少女”泰勒-摩森的角色——Jenny也自十一月份底沦为了“路人角色”。“泰勒拍这部电视剧的目的只是为了金钱，”据知情人士向娱乐杂志的爆料，“虽然工作努力，不过她对于剧集或者其他演员都毫不关心，这对她来说就是份‘朝九晚五’的工作罢了，没有丝毫感情的。”

演员一个个出走，这使得《绯闻女孩》前途令人担忧，“我不知道，”莉顿-梅斯特说，“不过我认为那是那句老话，”

Attention Upper East Siders: Leighton Meester is ready to say goodbye Gossip Girl.

Though she's played scheming socialite Blair Waldorf since 2007, Meester says she plans to walk away from the hit CW drama in "two more years."

Why wait? "Because we're under contract," the 24-year-old explains to E! News.

While Meester admits she "obviously enjoys working on the show and in New York," she's already made her post-Gossip Girl intentions known to the show's producers, who have allowed her to take time off to pursue other film projects.

"It allows you to be ready for when the show's over," she says of taking on roles in Country Strong and The Roommate.

Meester isn't the only Gossip Girl star who's scaled back her camera time: 17-year-old Taylor Momsen, who plays angsty high school student Jenny Humphrey, was reportedly suspended from the show in November.

"Taylor only does [the show] for the money," a source told at the time. "She works hard on Gossip Girl but doesn't care about the plot or the other cast members. She treats it like a 9-5. No emotional investment."

Without its original cast, will Gossip Girl be able to stay on the air?

"I don't know," Meester says, "but I think there's that old saying about wanting to go out on top."
