Leighton on eTalk

[fembuck]

So normally I avoid eTalk like its gonna kick me in the groin, because honestly that's what watching it feels like most of the time, but when I saw that Leighton was on it, and I couldn't resist and I'm so glad I didn't.

It was !

Tanya Kim got a little (oh, who am I kidding A LOT) annoying with her constant comparisons of the show to The O.C., but Leighton was so delightful that her pose and grace out shone all of Tanya's idiocy.

Seriously, I want to hang out with Leighton and take her around behind the middle school and get her pregnant!

What I liked about this interview was that because it was long you really got to hear a lot of what she had to say, and I totally loved her thoughts on Blair (and that she has thought a lot about Blair). The humanness she brings to Blair is not an accident. Her thoughts on Eleanor being the root of most of Blair's problems, and her dissection of how Blair looks to herself in comparison to Serena is totally how I've interpreted the character. And I'm totally going to use her insight into Blair wanting her life to be an Audrey Hepburn movie in fic!

Tanya: So what are you going to do to keep your private life private?
Leighton: Um, I think I'm just going to live a really boring life.

Oh, Leighton! XOXO Janine

I also had to laugh when she talked about 24 and how her character died. I'll admit that back then I hadn't seen the light and I was literally clapping and laughing my ass off when her character died. She's right it was a very memorable death. I'm sorry though bb, I love you! Also, the concentration she put into saying Shohreh Aghdashloo's name was SO cute (and I love her for saying it so that I could confirm that I have been saying it right!) Not to mention it was so funny when she ran out of famous Canadians she knew of to list, and got flustered and was all like "I love your cars", lol. So sweet to give us the benefit of the doubt bb, but we don't make cars. We drive them and pay other countries money for them, but that's about it.

Listen, it's ten minutes of Leighton looking good, and being funny and well-spoken (she would pause and THINK before she speaks, people! Think! How rare and beautiful), you totally need to just watch it and fall in love all over again

I love how she knows her character, and that she doesn't simply regard Blair as a chunk of dialogue on a page.

Yeah, it was really nice to see how much thought she had put into the character. It's nice to know that an actor cares about the character as much as the audience does *heart is warmed*

Also, she seems to be a delight to interview, too; not a monotonous drone full of blasé and rehearsed responses.

Yeah, I love that she's like a normal person. She seems so real, instead of like "Actress Figure Model #3". She's a breath of fresh air.

*swoons*

Oh Leighton! You are just too, too much love. (*fights the urge to sing "Hey Mickey" with Leighton's name*)

I love when they ask where she was when she got the call that she got the part and she goes "Um...I was at a friend's house." You know she was with Blake!

And the whole Blair wants to be Audrey Hepburn...I love that she's bringing that into the TV character because it was in the books a lot.

On Serena: "She's so perfect. She's everything I'm not." Oh Blair, you seriously need to have Serena help you get over your complex. She can bring her perfect into your life and then you can realize how perfect you are, too.

LEIGHTON FTW!

Don't fight it. I am so there with you.

Her saying that was just asking for Blair/Serena fic wasn't it?

It so was. Seriously, I need to just be locked up inside a room with no outside distractions because every time I try to write, other plot bunnies just blindside me and I get distracted.

I'm like Leighton, I get distracted by shiny things and new fics are shiny!

I'm so there with you. My Inner B's (Brooke, Blair and Blair) have apparently come out of hiding and now they're all fighting for my attention. I missed my muses, but it's starting to get crowded up there.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

You are just too, too much love.

It's ridiculous that that much cuteness should be embodied in one person.

"Um...I was at a friend's house." You know she was with Blake!

LOL! Totally! She and Blake were totally making out on Blake's rug, and then they celebrated the fact that they would get to make out for multiple seasons by making out MORE!

I love that she's bringing that into the TV character because it was in the books a lot.

Yeah, me too. I hope that they bring out a bit more of it in the scripts as well as Leighton channeling it. I enjoyed the little dream sequence at the beginning of "Bad News Blair"

LEIGHTON FTW!

I totally need a t-shirt with that on it!

lol, I know. That was so cute. Everything she did was adorable.

She seems like the sweetest person on earth. hee

*sigh* If it was biologically possible I would totally have her babies.

Dear Leighton,

Do you think you could possibly stop being so adorable? I fall a little harder every time I see you...no? *sigh* I just thought I'd ask.

Dear Tanya,

If you love the O.C. so much, why don't you move there and marry it? But please shut up about it. That is all.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

So much love! I literally wanted to reach through my screen and slap Tanya. The constant references to the OC were so annoying. Leighton handled it well though, and I liked how she very tactfully pointed out that GG was a totally different show.

Do you think you could possibly stop being so adorable

I've asked this before, but I'm glad she didn't listen. I'd miss her utter adorableness if it ever went away

[narcolepsy-slds.livejournal.com]

oh, how cute.

okay, she looks great, but I think I like her even more because she does not seem to be the typical dumb Hollywood starlet. I would have been really disappointed otherwise.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

because she does not seem to be the typical dumb Hollywood starlet.

I loved that about this interview. She's very articulate, and her answers were very thoughtful and considerate.

Brainy!Leighton is so sexy.

[geekycanadian86.livejournal.com]

eTalk actually had something GOOD to talk about for once? That's amazing! I'm speechless!



......



That is a sign of the apocalypse though, right?

As a fellow Canadian I totally understand your amazement! lol. That show is complete dreck and has the worst correspondents ever *glares at Tanya and Ben ... especially Ben*

That is a sign of the apocalypse though, right?

Hopefully an apocalypse of cuteness!

[geekycanadian86.livejournal.com]

It's right up there with ET!Canada. That Cheryl Hickey annoys the crap outta me.

*glares at Tanya and Ben ... especially Ben*

He's the hell spawn of Brian Mulroney, what the hell do you expect? It's like, genetic or something.

Hopefully an apocalypse of cuteness!

lol, Maybe I should start watching the show now ^^;;

[gespawcho.livejournal.com]

Oh Leighton. I thought we agreed that you would stop being so wonderful and let me go back to a life where I wasn't in love with you!

Well that's just not going to happen.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

let me go back to a life where I wasn't in love with you!


I can barely remember that world, and I DON'T WANT TO! The world of Leighton!love is so a beautiful place!

[gespawcho.livejournal.com]

I know. It's better to have loved and lost....

[gespawcho.livejournal.com]

Okay this is me being amused by the Bleighton dynamic again because in that youtube video of the ET interview, with Blake on oneside of TMomsen and Leighton on the other and they both have their arms kind of around her and the expressions on their face it reminds me of some crazy family.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

it reminds me of some crazy family

A crazy incestuous family!

OMG, like a RL version of the Petrelli family!

[gespawcho.livejournal.com]

Precisely! A step-family, really. One that routinely goes all Cruel Intentions on each other. But nicer.

Oh yeah...I remember that interview. In fact I think it was one the first I saw Leighton on it and I remember thinking "she's kind of cool. I like her!" Because on the first photoshots she was very serious and looking kind of bitchy. But what a pleasant surprise she was,she is so cute and lovely, love her joking with that chick Tanya. Also I have notice that when she makes jokes she gets all shy and kind of flustered at the same *dreamy eyes* cute!

Tanya: So what are you going to do to keep your private life private?
Leighton: Um, I think I'm just going to live a really boring life.

LoL so funny. Like when she said at the TRL interview that nobody cares about her life. Oh Leighton, if you knew how much I care, you probably might be putting a restrain order against me. Well, not really but yeah, I do care LoL Especially when there is certain blonde and tall on there with you.

Seriously, she looks so sweet and lovable person that I'm not surprise that Blake seems to can't help herself when she's around her. I know I couldn't.
