Gossip Girl Bands

Speaking of Gossip Girl, it turns out that a few of the actors and actresses are also musicians.

Little J, otherwise known as Taylor Momsen, has a new band called The Pretty Reckless, and their first single is not half bad. The girl can even sing. And keep in mind she just turned 16.

Listen: Blender



In a similar jump-up-and-down vein, Ed Westwick sings in a band called The Filthy Youth with some of his buddies from merrie olde England. Nothing to write home about, but here it is.

Listen: Boy Don't Smoke


And finally Blair Waldorf, I mean Leighton Meester, has been trying to launch a singing career for a while now. She apparently now has a record deal, and a new single called Body Control that sounds a little like Heidi Montag, Paris Hilton, and Lindsey Lohan all rolled into one. I suppose it's sort of catchy, but there's no way the video will be nearly as entertaining as Heidi's. I like the song below, which she recorded with this band Awesome New Republic. Sadly the version they decided to use on their album does not include Leighton. Ouch.
