Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, who is working on a music album, does a cool cover of "Bette Davis Eyes," a #1 hit in 1981 (!) for Kim Carnes.

For those unaware, Bette Davis (1908-1989) was a popular American actress of her time, starring in many film, TV and Broadway productions.

Here's Leighton Meester singing. This isn't a music video, just her song with a slideshow of (really nice) pictures as the background.
