Leighton Meester‘s life is ripe for a mini series. In fact, Leighton’s real-life drama is better than the crap on Gossip Girl. Today we learn that Leighton is suing her mother. She claims her mom got plastic surgery, Botox and hair extensions with money Leighton sent home for her sick little brother. As you may know, when Leighton was born, her mother was serving a federal prison sentence for her involvement in a drug ring. Putting the fun in dysfunctional. [NYDN, TMZ]
