Before hitting TV sets every week as Chuck Bass, 21-year-old Ed Westwick played supporting roles in such films as Breaking and Entering and Children of Men. In addition to breaking into Hollywood, Westwick has been the lead singer of the 5-piece punk band formed in London in 2006, The Filthy Youth. Their raw sound is influenced by greats such as The Doors, The Rolling Stones and Kings of Leon. As a benefit of Westwick's fame, the currently unsigned band has had some of their songs used in the show. I'm sure they'll do at least mildly well.
Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) describes her music project as "a good mixture of hip-hop-sounding, very vibe-y music." The 22-year-old Meester has said that she will be doing most of the writing for her album, which is rumored to be titled Prodigy. If her song Inside the Black from the teen horror film, Drive Thru (also starring Penn Badgley aka Dan) and the cover of Kim Carnes' Bette Davis Eyes are any indication of her sound, I will be greatly dissapointed. I wonder if they'll be making any beautiful music together offscreen as well?
Update: Leighton Meester will be making a special appearance in Union Square on October 2nd at 12PM for a Safe Horizon's charity event, an organization against Domestic Violence.
