"I don't wanna get hurt, but I know it's a chance I've got to take"

New CD's in my record collection: "Heartstrings" by Leighton Meester, and remastered and expanded reissues of "Martika" by Martika, "The Paris Collection" and "The Dollar Collection" by Dollar, "All Systems Go", "I'm A Rainbow" and my personal favourite "Another Place And Time" by Donna Summer.

Leighton Meester - Heartstrings

I became a Leighton Meester fan when she played the bitchy Blair Waldorf on teen drama "Gossip Girl", one of my favourite shows. Leighton just released her new single and you can check out the video down below.

"Heartstrings" is a sweet and relaxing pop track, even though it's not as strong as her earlier dance-pop singles "Your Love's A Drug" and "Somebody To Love". But it's not a bad song, far from it. I'm just sad she's left the electronic sound behind.

The song is available on Leighton's debut album, also called "Heartstrong". It's out now on iTunes, Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Gossip Girl - The final season

I just read in The Hollywood Reporter, that the sixth season of "Gossip Girl" is going to be the last one. This is sad news for me, I've followed the series for years and still love it.

One the bright side, the creators know about the cancelation in advance so they have time to tie all loose ends. We don't want the show to end with a cliffhanger, do we?

What I like the most about "Gossip Girl" is that there's never a dull moment. The creators aren't afraid of going "over the top", including lots of drama, sex and crazy twists. They give us soap fans what we want!

All seasons of "Gossip Girl" are available on DVD, so at least we can rewatch this amazing teen soap over and over again. Are there any other "Gossip Girl" fans out there? Please leave a comment below!
