Leighton Meester's Mom: She Beat Me with a Bottle!
Leighton Meester's mom is firing back after her daughter sued her last week -- claiming in a new countersuit, Leighton threw her to the ground back in December ... "repeatedly hitting her with a bottle."
According to the countersuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, at 2:00 AM on December 11, 2010, the "Gossip Girl" actress attacked her mom with the bottle and was so crazed she had to be pulled off her mom by her little brother.
Constance Meester says it's true ... Leighton sent her $7,500 every month, but that was not out of the goodness of her heart. It was -- Constance claims -- a settlement for all the money she helped make for her daughter.

Leighton Meester Sues Mom -- You Ripped Me Off!
"Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester is suing her mother, claiming her mom diverted money Leighton sent to her little brother and used it for plastic surgery, Botox and hair extensions.
According to the suit ... obtained by TMZ ... Leighton's mom refused to work, but Leighton felt badly for her younger brother Lex, who has severe medical issues. So Leighton sent her mom $7,500 a month so she could provide for Lex.
But the suit claims the mother, Constance Meester, used the money for cosmetic procedures and other personal expenses.
According to the suit, Constance even tried to convince Leighton ... they had an oral contract requiring Leighton to pay her $10,000 a month for life. Leighton says it's a total lie.
Leighton claims her mom threatened to file a $3 million lawsuit against her unless Leighton started coughing up the dough.
Leighton wants the judge to declare there's no contract between her and her mom.

More 'Blake Lively' Nude Photos Leaked
The hacker who claims to have naked pictures of Blake Lively has just upped the ante, scoffing at claims the pics are photoshopped ... and he's posted more pictures to prove his case.
The hacker just posted 17 additional pics. Many of the pics show a nude woman whom the hacker insists is Blake.
Blake's people are adamant ... telling TMZ the person in the pics is not Blake. The denial apparently incited the hacker, who posted the new pics, with this warning: "Oh, yes, Blake's rep. These are totally fake. We really, really believe you. Want moar? BTW, thanks for all the faps." (FYI: "faps" is a reference to pleasuring oneself)
Two of the pics show a woman clothed, holding an iPhone, and it sure looks like Blake.
Several of the nude pics show a woman's body with tattoos (no face). Several TMZ users contacted us with an interesting point ... Blake's character in "The Town" had star tattoos on her upper-chest area.

Chace Crawford Rolls into Court for Weed Case
"Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford rolled into a McKinney, Texas courthouse just moments ago -- where a judge will formally charge the actor for allegedly having an unlit joint in a car he was sitting in.
Chace was technically charged earlier this month -- but Texas law requires the actor to appear in court so the judge can make it official. Chace is facing one misdemeanor count of weed possession.
TMZ broke the story -- Chace was busted in a Plano, TX parking lot after cops claim they found one unlit joint in the car he was in with a friend.
If convicted, Chace could face up to 6 months behind bars.
UPDATE 8:15 AM PT: Nothing happened in court today. Chace will not have to show up for the next court appearance, scheduled for August 20.
