Oh, silly child. Leona will do it for you! - Leona Lewis I Will Be Video & Perf

Leona is on a mission to re-sing every song ever sung. Correctly. Kidding, but she does enjoy the covers, doesn't she? Leona and her team are pushing I Will Be as her next single in the US instead of Run, something I've only recently come to terms with. She enlisted the aid of ex It-Boy, Chace Crawford (dethroned, of course, by Robert Pattinson -- requisite swoon) for the video, which quite frankly, I don't understand. But, when presented with eye candy, I find it best to simply drool. You can pretty much peg the nature of the song by its title; I will be all that you aren't, yada yada. But, for a former Avril Lavigne song (former because it's totally Leona's now), it's very pretty and, like I've mentioned before, Leona can sing the phone book brilliantly. It's not as fabulous as Run, but not as slow either and considering the average American attention span, perhaps she's made the right single choice. Check out the video and a live performance below.

Gossip Boys Cover Out

There they are, our favorite Gossip Boys. Whether we love 'im, love to hate 'im, or love to drool all over ourselves for 'im, they all have a special place in our hearts. It looks like even with the strike officially over, it'll be a bit before we get new Gossip Girl. The boys are apparently using their down-time wisely, as they cover next month's issue of Out (click here to read their feature story) magazine.

Out discusses Dan Humphrey's character with Penn Badgley and whether he feels comfortable "going gay" as Dan does in the novels after breaking up with Serena. (!!!) Penn said he would be cool but doesn't find it likely that a major network would suddenly make one of their main characters queer. I'd have to agree. But, one must admit, the idea is quite intriguing.

Upon further investigation, it seems that Dan not only switches sexualities in the novels, but he actually has a fling with bad boy Chuck. How crazy is that?? The fan fiction just writes itself.
