Oh no! Leighton Meester of “Gossip Girl” went blonde too!

I’m a lifelong brunette and I hate losing people from my team. I grew up hearing blonde jokes and reading “Betty and Veronica” comics, and I’ve always identified as a strong-minded brunette, just like my mother. Sure, in my teens I experimented with hair dye, particularly Manic Panic pink, and boxed colors darkening or added red highlights to my hair. But never ever blonde. And I’ve come to love my natural color so much I’ve done absolutely nothing to it in 10 years.

On top of my intense brunette loyalty, I guess I take issues with brunettes changing teams, so to speak. If a woman was blonde in her youth and wants to maintain that color, I have no problems with her lightening. But brunettes going blonde—for shame!

Earlier this week when pictures emerged of Kim Kardashian with lightened locks, I felt like she forfeit her own identity—she looks so much like J.Lo and Beyonce now! Not to mention, the hair color is so close to her skin tone she looks completely washed out. In most cases I believe that your natural hair color truly looks the best.

This morning while browsing through blogs I came upon a horrifying discovery: Leighton Meester has gone blonde! Blair Waldorf of "Gossip Girl" is easily one of my favorite women on TV. Her character may be bitchy, but she's very complex, intelligent and loyal.

But upon further research I realized something even more disturbing: Leighton is a NATURAL blonde! She dyed her hair dark for the part of Blair Waldorf and now she was actually dyeing her hair back, closer to it's original hue. Umm... umm... I'm at a loss. Perhaps I identify Leighton as a brunette because I never knew her as anything else, but her dark brown hair just suits her so well! I can't believe she's a blonde. I'm in total denial. She looks better as a brunette, don't you think?

Do you have strong hair color identity, or do you love to dye? Do you think Kim and Leighton look better as blondes or brunettes? [People][People]

    It just goes to show you shouldn't judge people by their hair color any more than you would their skin color.

    KK's blonde hair is a wig that someone made for her to wear during a photoshoot. She posted that on Twitter a few days ago - I'm curious why no one else seems to know that!

    Did no one also know that she was a blonde originally, BEFORE joining the cast of Gossip Girl? Does anyone remember her role on Entourage? I agree she looks better as a brunette but that was the dramatic change for her, not being blonde.

    Sorry, she needs to stay brunette, unlike KK.

    KK needs to go back to black, and Leighton Meester most def looks better brunette. Brunettes rock! Joanna don't worry, I'm a natural brunette, and I'm never going blonde!

    Leighton Meester was blonde BEFORE gossip girl. The show made her dye her hair brown. You should do more research next time.
