Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester are set to star in Screen Gems’ country singing drama “Love Don’t Let Me Down,” which Shana Feste wrote and is directing.

Tobey Maguire and Jenno Topping are producing via their Maguire Entertainment banner.

In “Love,” Hedlund plays a young rising singer-songwriter who becomes involved with a fallen country singer played by Paltrow. They embark on a career resurrection tour with her husband-manager (McGraw) and a beauty queen-turned-singer (Meester). Romantic entanglements and old demons threaten to derail them all.

Production is set to begin in January 2010 in Nashville.

Screen Gems’ senior vp of production Nick Phillips will oversee the project for the studio.

CAA-repped Feste was the filmmaker behind the 2009 Sundance drama “The Greatest.”

Country singer-turned-occasional actor McGraw, repped by CAA, can be currently seen in “The Blind Side” while Hedlund, repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, recently wrapped shooting Disney’s “Tron Legacy.” While McGraw and Hedlund play rivals in “Love,” they were father and son in Universal’s “Friday Night Lights.”

Paltrow, repped by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, reprises her role as Pepper Potts in next summer’s “Iron Man 2,” while WME and Leverage Entertainment-repped Meester, best known for her work in “Gossip Girl,” is featured in Screen Gems’ “The Roommate,” which opens September 2010.

Do we have a Gossip Girl cat fight on our hands? Word on the street is that there’s beef between Taylor Momsen and Leighton Meester. According to HollywoodLife.com, Taylor is a little testy over Leighton’s recent rise to fame as a singer.

As you may recall, Taylor was the first cast member from the show to cross over to music, and she even has her own band called The Reckless, who toured with girl group The Veronicas this year.

But as of late, the only Gossip Girl being musically recognized is Leighton Meester. She collaborated with Cobra Starship on “Good Girls Go Bad” and just finished up a sexy duet with Robin Thicke called “Somebody to Love.” • Read full story…

The Gossip Girl and Twilight starlet pal up on MTV’s It’s On with Alexa Chung…

Leighton Meester is leaving a trail of Alice bands in her wake as she distances herself from her once trademark Gossip Girl Queen B style. The tweed, twinsets and Upper East Side good-girl fashion have gone well and truly out the window as she embraces an altogether more rock chick style for her blossoming pop career.

We spotted her last week getting her rock on at the American Eagle Outfitters party where she got dolled up and rocked out in front of an audience of celebrity pals including Michelle Trachtenberg and Adrian Grenier.

And last night she got to appear on It’s On with Alexa Chung where she sang her new single once again. We’d like to think that our very own Brit muso Alexa was able to impart some of her expertise to the new popstar. • Read full story…
