Leighton Meester & Chace Crawford Do Italy

Gossip Girl hotties Leighton Meester (in Giambattista Valli) and Chace Crawford attend a press conference for GG at the 2008 Telefilm Festival in Milan, Italy on Sunday.

Costar Michelle Trachtenberg spoke with TV Guide and learned that Leighton‘s been blowing up her spot!

I was reading that on the set, they call her “Georg-i-na,” as in “rhymes with a female body part.” Oh dear! Who told you that?

I believe it’s Leighton Meester who’s out there telling that tale. [Laughs] There are definitely many nicknames for Georgina.

What do you think Georgina’s motive is for making Serena’s life a living hell? She wants a friend. I know that may not seem like too much motivation, but to some people a friendship and the loss of a friendship can be devastating. Also, when Georgina sets her mind to something there’s nothing that can stand between her and getting it.
