It looks like Leighton Meester is moving herself up the “It Girl Ladder” in Hollywood.  She has two new movies coming out with some pretty big names.

First up, Leighton has a movie coming out with Cam Gigandet (James from the movie Twilight) called “Roommate”.  Roommate is a psychological thriller about a college freshman who becomes obsessed with her roommate.  Cam will be playing Leighton’s boyfriend in the flick.

Next up, Leighton will be starring in a movie called “Date Night” alongside Steve Carell (The Office), Tina Fey (SNL, 30 Rock), Mark Wahlberg (Fear, Boogie Nights), and James Franco (Spider-man).  This one is a comedy, and with Steve Carell and Tina Fey headlining the flick, I’m sure it’ll be a winner.  Leighton will be playing Steve and Tina’s babysitter.

To top it all off, Leighton is also working with American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi, and Cobra Starship on their new album.  Just last week, Leighton debuted her new song “Birthday”, and now she is working with Kara and Cobra Starship on a song called “I Make Good Girls Go Bad”.

Sounds like Leighton is working extra hard to become a household name.  Personally, I love her, and I’m very excited to see her spread her wings.  🙂
