Sing it, Leighton!

Wannabe musician Heidi Montag must be jealous: After her song "Birthday" leaked on the Internet, Leighton Meester has snagged herself a record deal with Universal Republic Records, Perez Hilton reports.

“I’m thrilled to be welcomed into the Universal Republic fold,” says Leighton. “Their reputation for nurturing artists combined with a willingness to break new ground makes it the ultimate environment for me to enjoy making music and explore my own creative boundaries. I look forward to a great working relationship.”
