  • Adam Brody and Leighton Meester Welcome Baby Girl–in August

    Adam Brody, best known for his role on The O.C., and wife Leighton Meester welcomed their first child–a baby girl–into their world back in early August. The Gossip Girl alum and her daughter are both thriving following the birth more than a month ago.

    Going against the grain of celebrity traditions in L.A., Adam Brody and Leighton Meester didn’t have their baby at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. TMZ just recently got access to the baby’s birth certificate, and announced that the couple has named their daughter Arlo Day Brody.

    Adam Brody and Leighton Meester tied the knot back in February 2014, during a secret ceremony. Given their silence about their wedding, it’s not surprising they hid their baby’s birth from the media, too. In fact, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody chose a hospital that was around 30 miles away from Cedars-Sinai.

    The new mom was last spotted back in July near Sherman Oaks, where she boasted a very large baby bump.

    Prior to their daughter’s birth, Adam Brody joked about the number of children they planned in having.

    “I say 12,” he said. “And I decide.”

    In the meantime, congrats are no doubt coming in from fans from all over on the birth of their baby girl.

    Best wishes to Adam Brody and Leighton Meester on their first foray into parenthood–and those 2:00 a.m. feedings.

  • Leighton Meester: ‘Gossip Girl’ Star and Husband Adam Brody Expecting Their First Baby

    Leighton Meester, best known for her role as Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, is expecting her first baby. She and hubby Adam Brody are over the moon.

    Us Weekly reports that Meester was spotted out and about in L.A., a couple of days ahead of their pregnancy announcement. Her baby bump was front and center, however, with absolutely no mistaking that she’s expecting.

    It was Monday when the publication confirmed Leighton Meester and Adam Brody’s official news. The couple met back in 2011, on the set of The Oranges. They married in a secret ceremony–so secret that some of their former costars weren’t even invited–in February of 2014.

    “I did not go to his wedding. I think they wanted to kind of keep it super low-profile, so I did not take umbrage,” The O.C.’s Ben McKenzie said in an interview at the time. “His wife is awesome. Leighton’s great.”

    In addition to acting, Leighton Meester has quite the set of vocal cords. The actress has both written and recorded music in the past few years–even singing with Tony Bennett in an episode of Entourage. She made her Broadway debut in 2014 alongside James Franco, starring in Of Mice and Men.

    In addition to the titles of actress, singer, and wife, Leighton Meester will soon be able to add ‘mother’ to her repertoire of talents.

    Last August, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody joked about how many kids they planned to have.

    I say twelve,” he quipped. “And I decide.”

    Perhaps this pregnancy will wind up being just one of many for Leighton Meester?

  • Leighton Meester Talks Married Life & Broadway Debut

    Leighton Meester is opening up about married life and her recent Broadway debut.

    Earlier this year, Leighton married her fiancé Adam Brody in a super-secret ceremony. The couple has always been private and somehow managed to pull off a wedding without any of the media knowing about it.

    “Leighton and Adam got married in Northern California by the ocean a couple of weeks ago,” a source told E! News at the time. “It was a very small and intimate wedding with close family and friends. It was beautiful.”

    The couple was then seen at Mexico’s St. Regis Punta Mita Resort from February 12 to 15, on what seemed to be their honeymoon.

    Sine tying the knot, the couple has remained quiet about their marriage. However, during an interview for the November issue of InStyle U.K., Leighton talked about her marriage and how her values have shifted.

    “My values have shifted greatly in terms of what I find important,” Meester explained. “It’s my family, my friends and having a personal life. Those are the things that need nurturing.”

    Meester also made her Broadway debut this year in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. Leighton joined James Franco and Chris O’Dowd in the revival of the unlikely story of two field workers, George and Lennie, during the Great Depression

    Leighton, who played Blair Waldorf on the CW’s Gossip Girls for years and also starred in the film Country Strong, was chosen to play the part of a ranch boss’ wife, and a woman that intrigues the mentally challenged Lennie.

    The performances started in March at the Longacre Theatre in New York. They are directed by Anna D. Shapiro.

  • Leighton Meester And Adam Brody Were Married Weeks Ago In Secret Wedding

    It is not often that a couple of celebrities decide to go off and have a secret wedding since most of them choose to make it into a lavish affair, inviting tons of other celebrities, and making a spectacle of it.

    However, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody did just that, and were able to keep their wedding a secret for weeks, until yesterday, when the big news was finally revealed. Meester and Brody are both former stars of two hit teen drama television shows.

    Following the recent reveal of their marriage, an interview surfaced in which Leighton Meester said that as recently as 2012, she wasn’t sure if she wanted to get married. As a couple, they continue to avoid the spotlight, and of course, the media has gone crazy with rumors as a result.

    Those who watched the two on their respective former shows may be a little annoyed at the fact that the two are together, and certainly showed it over social media at the time of their engagement. Sometimes people can get such an attachment to certain characters that they want them to be together forever, and seeing that actor linked to someone else can still touch a nerve with some fans.

    Adam Brody was a star on The O.C., while Leighton Meester became known through her role on Gossip Girl. In additon to her role as Blair Waldors on Gossip Girl, she has appeared in several television shows including a handful of episodes on big shows such as Entourage, 24, and House M.D.

    Even before their secret wedding, the couple had worked hard to keep their relationship private. Before the announcement of their engagement, they had tried to keep quiet, but it was confirmed that they were dating when someone spotted them having dinner together, and Adam Brody was seen putting his arm around Leighton Meester.

    Before beginning a romantic relationship together, the couple had met on the set of the 2011 film The Oranges, a film which they were the stars of. Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are both set to appear in the upcoming film Life Partners.

    This is the first marriage for both Brody and Meester. Adam Brody had previously been in a relationship with Rachel Bilson, his co-star on The O.C., and the hearts of teens everywhere were crushed when they split in 2006, a year before the teen drama ended.

  • Leighton Meester Wasn’t Sure She Wanted To Get Married

    Leighton Meester and Adam Brody created the news heard ’round the world this week when it was revealed that the television stars had gotten married in a private ceremony, but as recently as 2012, the actress wasn’t sure she even wanted to be married.

    Meester said in an interview with Marie Claire that she didn’t have her first boyfriend until she was 18 and never cared much about the things her peers were into. As a kid raised by her grandmother while her mom was in jail, Meester says she had more important worries.

    “I couldn’t relate to kid stuff — ‘Jimmy doesn’t like me!’ Who cares? I was worried we didn’t have gas money or food,” Meester said. “Those were my concerns….I never had a boyfriend until I was 18. It’s nice, I guess – when you like them. But it isn’t the most important thing. I’m not sure I ever want to get married. The only time a relationship is good is when you really love them. I don’t want to hang out with some guy I just like.”

    In February of last year, rumors began to spread that Meester was dating Adam Brody, the former “O.C.” actor; by November, news that they were engaged began to work its way around to all the magazines, and in December they were spotted kissing at an airport. The low-key couple had never commented publicly on their relationship, so the media ran wild with it. Most recently, they were seen vacationing at Mexico’s St. Regis Punta Mita Resort just before Valentine’s Day.

  • Kristen Bell: Sex Scenes During Pregnancy

    Kristen Bell joked recently with Conan O’Brien about filming sex scenes for her Showtime series House of Lies while pregnant. She and costar Adam Brody, she admits, rocked some rather awkward manipulation in order to pull of the filming without either cracking up or looking incredibly awkward.

    Brody “affectionately refers to our sex scenes as our threesomes because my belly was just on top,” Bell said during her chat with Conan, adding that he was an incredible sport as the two attempted to roll around in the hay and make it look incredibly hot and sexy.

    Kristen hopes that one day daughter Lincoln (that infamous cropped out baby bump during those sex scenes in House of Lies) will one day appreciate her mother’s work as an actress.

    “And now I can forever look at my daughter and say, ‘Oh, you were pregnant for that!’ ” she said.

    Following her visit with Conan O’Brien, Bell dished to Chelsea Handler about her daughter one day viewing those sex scenes.

    “My guess is if she is like the other 5 billion people on the planet, she’s going to grow up and enjoy sex,” Bell said. “I’m not going to be shocked by that.”

    Kristen Bell and hubby Dax Shepard (of Parenthood fame) started dating back in 2007 and in March of 2013 their daughter Lincoln was born. The two tied the knot in what they and their friends have dubbed the “Worst Wedding Ever” in October of 2013. It took place at the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office in Beverly Hills, where the two applied for a marriage license. They were then told they had to provide their own licensed officiant in order to hold the ceremony there. After making many phone calls, they wound up saying “I do” in front of people they didn’t even know.

    Kristen is the star of the upcoming Veronica Mars film.

  • Leighton Meester Is Set To Debut On Broadway In 2014

    Leighton Meester, the former teen star, is set to make her debut appearance on Broadway next year. She will join a cast that already has a couple of stars attached to the project, in a revival of Steinbeck’s classic, Of Mice And Men.

    Meester is the former star of the popular teen drama, Gossip Girl, and is looking to get more serious with her next role, hoping to make a name for herself as a more well-known actress. She will be starring in the Broadway production along with James Franco and Chris O’Dowd.

    It is another big role for James Franco as well, who seems to be making headlines every time you turn around during the 2013 year. His most recent stunt occurred when he and his friend and fellow comedy actor Seth Rogen decided to spoof a recent music video of Kanye West’s.

    In case anyone avoided reading the classic novel in high school, Of Mice and Men centers on George and Lenny, who is mentally challenged, and an unlikely friendship forms between the two characters who are bothmigrant workers. It takes place in California during the Great Depression.

    In the production, Leighton Meester will play the wife of a rancher, who becomes a fascination for Lennie. As a result, she becomes something of a temptress, and becomes dangerous for the fates of George and Lenny during the plot.

    In addition to her role in Gossip Girl, Meester has been seen in Country Strong, and is in production with the film God Only Knows, set to be released next year. She is also set to appear in the upcoming film Life Partners with her new fiancee Adam Brody, after their engagement was just announced less than a month ago.

    A Broadway production of the novel has not been done in over 40 years, and the last time that it was seen on film was in 1992, with John Malkovich and Gary Sinise in the two main roles. Anna D. Shapiro, a Tony Award-winner, will be directing the production. Performances of the Broadway play will start in March at the Longacre Theater.

    The upcoming role is a big step for Leighton Meester, as she is stepping up from her teen gossip role to a classic piece of literature that everyone is familiar with.
