Sony Pictures has recently launched its movie campaign for 'The Roommate' by inviting fans to call Leighton Meester.
The ad provides a phone number which takes you to a recording of her. We all know her as the Gossip Girl starlet, but be warned that you won't be hearing the same spoiled, Upper Eastside voice. Instead you'll hear her shrill scream as she plays the role of a creepy stalker in her new, scary movie 'The Roommate.' There's bound to be a busy signal trying to call this hottie.
