The show's not closing shop just yet, but Leighton Meester tells me she already knows when she'll be exiting the hit prime-time soap...
"Two more years," she told me yesterday at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, while promoting her new movie, Country Strong.
Why then? "Because we're under contract," she said matter-of-factly.
While Meester said she "obviously enjoys working on the show and living in New York," she also explained that producers and the network have been more understanding than ever before about Leighton and her costars taking time off or jiggering schedules in order to pursue other projects, particularly movies. "It allows you to be ready for when the show's over," she said.
Will the entire series end in two years, too? "I don't know," Meester said, "but I think there's that old saying about wanting to go out on top."
