'Gossip Girl' was like 'high school' for Leighton Meester: 'No, I wouldn't wanna go back to it, I was a kid!'

Leighton Meester played the role of rich kid Blair Warldorf whose scheming ways and power struggle kept everyone around Manhattan on their toes

It's been six years since CW and Leighton Meester, hit the gold mine with 'Gossip Girl.' The show about the complex life of Manhattan's elite really struck a chord with audiences; as a result - an overnight success. The drama, the brainlessness, the scheming and plotting, and all that money - 'Gossip Girl' was everything that made a really engaging television show. It aired for six seasons before coming to a really strange end in 2012. Leighton Meester's character Blair Waldorf is still very revered by anyone who has seen the inside of Constance, but Leighton clearly has moved on.
