This weekend, Leighton Meester is featured in New York Times Magazine. Before the Terry Richardson lensed spread debuts tomorrow in Sunday's issue, the actress sat down for a quick Q&A with Horacio Silva. In their conversation, the 23-year-old star discussed her forthcoming album, what it's like being hounded by the paparazzi, and Blair Waldorf's post-prep school plans. Here are a few highlights from the interview:

Blair Waldorf is college bound, ya'll:

It’s yet to be decided, but [Blair Waldorf] is definitely going to college — to N.Y.U. — and not wearing any more school uniforms. Thank god we’re not pretending we all get held back and just continue with high school like all those other high school shows. I guess I’ll wear magnificent clothes every day that don’t have anything to do with school.

Leighton will most likely be Jason Wu's date for the Costume Institute's Model Exhibit this spring:

He’s such a sweetheart. We actually went to Anna Wintour’s house for dinner. It was very cool and quite the fashion baptism by fire.

Lady Gaga better watch out:

Absolutely. I’m determined to no longer wear pants. The music is electric pop, with a little bit of rock element to it. It’s not like bubble gum — it’s actually very edgy.

And yes, it sucks to have scandalous parents when you're working on a show based on gossip:

This is the type of thing that you can’t be too sensitive about — it’s not like I did anything that’s worth talking about. I love my parents very much, but people either continue or break the patterns of what their life should be and I just want to completely break whatever patterns would lead me to the same life choices that they made.

With the frenzy surrounding First Lady Michelle Obama's sartorial choices, specifically, her lovely off-the-shoulder Jason Wu gown, it was only a matter of time before someone began to cash in on all of the madness.

First, this $320 (they have a lot of nerve) knock-off -- which was created by a New York company named eDressMe and available for pre-order in sizes 0 to 12 -- looks nothing, i repeat, nothing like the original.

And yet, I imagine it will show up on the bodies of many young high school girls this prom season. Especially those who have moms who are still made that their daughters never had a debutante ball.

Even funnier though, would be the description attached to the dress. It reads:

"This exquisite white gown by eDressMe has a chic one shoulder silhouette, with a drape dripping down the back. The square bodice is accented with sequined flowers and lace. Pleating under the empire waist allows the column skirt to flow gracefully down your frame. The skirt is dotted with sequined rosettes for glitter and shine. Perfect for any stylish formal affair."

Translation? If you really, really want to dance around the living room with your husband/boyrfriend/whatever, of course, pretending as if he were Barack Obama, here you go, boo. Eat your heart out! [eDressMe]

>> A side-by-side comparison of the real and fake Jason Wu gown

Yesterday, First Lady Michelle Obama sky-rocketed seemingly unknown designers Isabel Toldeo (Designed Inaugural Swearing-in Outfit) and Jason Wu (Designed Inaugural Party Dress) from popular industry favorites to potential celebrity must-haves, which is great considering the two don't pay for any kind of major advertising and have relatively small businesses. While I'm sure Wu and Toldeo publicists are working overtime right now, Simon Doonan of Barneys has taken it upon himself to shine the spotlight on fellow New Yorker Isabel Toldeo by plastering this note on his store's homepage. Love it.

Speaking of First Lady Michelle Obama, more facts concerning her forthcoming Vogue cover have surfaced. Rumor has it the project was shot by the imitable Annie Lebovitz and centers around the concept of "dignified" oppose to "chic" because the latter wasn't relevant to AL's idea.

Hm. Maybe this means strong and iconic instead of soft curls and red lipstick. Meanwhile, the results from Michelle's run-in with Vogue are suppose (maybe?) to debut next month. - Stay tuned. [The Imagist]
