I think the lovely Leighton Meester might’ve been slightly unimpressed with how far behind I am on “True Blood,” this season. Not in a judge-y way, but in an omigod-you-have-so-much-to-catch-up-on-and-it’s-so-good way. And I know she’s right. For ages I’ve been meaning to sign up for the channel that airs it. And thanks to my chat with Meester, I’ve done it and can check at least that off my list.

Meester was in town this past Saturday to chat about how she and delightful celeb stylist Charles Baker Strahan (below) are best Herbal-Essence buddies. I can’t tell you much more than that yet because I’m writing a story on what the actress and I discussed during an SUV-ride to the airport, but I’ll link when it’s published. Stay tuned.

And after that I’m scheduling a “True Blood” marathon. Soon-ish.
