Lindsay Lohan stepped out for the AmfAR last night in New York City, as did Heidi Klum – who was making her first red carpet appearance sans Seal.

In fact just about any and everyone showed up: Sarah Jessica Parker (who hosted the event), Cindy Crawford, Kellan Lutz, Elizabeth Hurley (with Shane Warne), Jennifer Hudson, Julianne Moore, Karolina Kurkova, Cheyenne Jackson, Leighton Meester, and Padma Lakshmi.

Lohan was glowing, which was nice to see. Heidi looked elegant but subdued, which seems See More

Looks like Blair Waldorf is heading down the aisle this season on Gossip Girl – that is, if she actually makes it to the church.

When we caught up with Leighton Meester filming scenes for the show last night in Manhattan, she was in a stunning wedding dress with a gorgeous tiara – and she was running through traffic. Is Blair running to the church – or away from it?

One thing’s for certain – Leighton looked distraught while in character filming her scenes. Can See More

Though Taylor Momsen exited Gossip Girl at the end of last season (her socialite character was sent to Upstate New York, kind of like sending a criminal to Rikers), she’s making at least one cameo on the show this season.

We found Taylor filming yesterday on the Upper East Side. Everyone else – Leighton Meester, Blake Lively, Ed Westwick, Penn Badgley – looked chic and sophisticated. Taylor looked – well, like Taylor. She was clad in a black lace Pucci one-shouldered dress paired with combat boots.

Gossip Girl‘s Blake Lively and Penn Badgley are back in New York City after filming the show in Paris over the last two weeks. Clearly being in the City of Lights left the pair in quite the romantic mood! We caught them in several affectionate moments while wandering around the Meatpacking District this morning. Penn even squeezed Blake’s butt a few times, though we’re pretty sure they knew photographers were watching them. Once a performer, always a performer.

Later on in the afternoon we caught Blake on set with Leighton Meester and See More

After a break over the Christmas and New Year period, it was back to work for the cast of Gossip Girl in Manhattan today.

Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgley and Taylor Momsen were all on set on NY’s Upper East Side to film the latest episode for the show.

All of the actors looked refreshed and ready to shoot new scenes.

And we think Chace had also got himself a new, more grown-up haircut.

What do you think??

Blake Lively and co-star Leighton Meester hit up Manhattan’s Upper East Side this morning as they filmed the latest scenes for Gossip Girl in the city.

Blake and Leighton slipped into some slinky dresses before they got in front of the cameras.

But we couldn’t help notice Leighton had a pair of Ugg boots on her feet…in 80 degree heat. Is she crazy..??

Where does Leighton Meester start and end? You tell me. The Gossip Girl actress was on hand at the Chloe Los Angeles Boutique Opening Celebration at Milk Studios last evening and she was suspiciously all the same shade.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Leighton looks great.  The dress is adorable and so are the shoes, I just don’t understand how her skin turned pinkish brown over night (and yet is the same color as her hair)- Blair Waldorf would not approve.
