SAG Awards 2025: You Know You Love Kristen Bell & Leighton Meester’s Epic ‘Gossip Girl’ Reunion
Gossip Girl here, confirming these two former costars are ready to be back in action.
Shortly after Netflix confirmed Leighton Meester would be joining husband Adam Brody and Gossip Girl narrator Kristen Bell on season 2 of Nobody Wants This—as the returned middle school nemesis of Kristen’s character Joanne—Kristen revealed how she’s feeling about the news.
“Leighton Meester is blessing us with her presence,” the Frozen alum said in an exclusive interview with E! News at the Annual Power of Love Gala—held in Las Vegas Feb. 22—before adding that her entry “will be fun” because “she is not my nemesis” off-screen. (For more from the gala, tune into E! News tonight, Feb. 24 at 11 p.m.)
After all, IRL, the pair have no bad blood between them. In fact, Leighton and Kristen even joined forces during the Feb. 23 SAG Awards—which Kristen hosted—for an epic nod to their Gossip Girl roots.
Reprising their roles as the voice of the anonymous gossip blogger and Blair Waldorf, Kristen narrated “gossip” about the SAG Award attendees fed to her by Queen Bee Blair.
