Leighton MeesterWhile many celebrities complain about the downsides of fame, Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester couldn’t be happier about life in the limelight.

She told OK magazine recently: “It’s changed everything for the better. It’s different, but I’m happy. This is the best life that I could ask for, and it’s more than I thought it could be.

“I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like, ‘I really want to be part of that,’ but not realizing what that was.

“I didn’t understand it and now this is my life and it’s so funny! I couldn’t be happier.”
