(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jennifer Missoni has praised Leighton Meester for being "so humble".

Jennifer is the granddaughter of the founders of Italian fashion house Missoni, and is fast becoming one of Hollywood's most promising acting talents.

One of the star's recent roles was a cameo on hit US teen drama Gossip Girl, and Jennifer was particularly taken with her co-star Leighton Meester who plays Blair Waldorf in the show.

"I really loved working with Leighton Meester," gushed Jennifer in an interview with the British edition of OK! magazine.

"I was a really big fan of the show and in particular I loved her on it. We had so much fun together. As a person, she is so humble and funny and very sweet."

Jennifer considers herself a good judge of character. She feels she can assess someone's personality upon meeting them, and likes people who wear their heart on their sleeve.

"I can see people's hearts and their auras as well. You can see right away when there's somebody that's connected to his or her heart. They are not affected by all the bulls**t we encounter every day," she added. (C) Cover Media
