Leighton Meester: I Want My Gossip Girl Character to Hook Up With....

"I haven’t seen it yet!" she confessed to Usmagazine.com Monday evening. "I’m not going to be able to see it tonight."

Why?

The Florida native, 22, was busy hobnobbing with Eva Mendes, Diane Kruger and beau Joshua Jackson, and Naomi Campbell at the opening night of La Fille Du Regiment at the Metropolitan Opera in NYC.

Still, she admitted, "I can’t wait to see it!"

Meester has a clear idea on who she wants her character Blair to hook up with — and it isn't Nate (Chace Crawford) or Chuck (Ed Westwick).

“I like neither of those guys for Blair,” Meester tells the Boston Herald. “I think both of them are kind of wrong. Nate really wronged her, and Chuck is a bad seed. Blair needs a break from love and needs to get her bearings.”

On last night's episode, Blair attempted to make a comeback after she had been dethroned as the alpha female of her Manhattan school after her classmates learned she slept with Chuck and had a pregnancy scare.

She also plotted revenge against Jenny (Taylor Momsen) for blabbing about it.

“I figured this would happen, because it can be expected when all you do is bring other people down,” Meester says. “I think that Blair is going to have to crawl her way back to the top and there might be a few casualties along the way."

Tell Us: Was last night's Gossip Girl premiere better or worse than you expected?
