NASHVILLE, Tenn. –

Country star LeAnn Rimes has caught the acting bug – and she’s ready to bring it from Nashville to the Upper East Side.

“I would love to be on ‘Gossip Girl!’” she told OK! magazine, explaining that she’s looking for film and television roles. “Every video I do, I think I do more and more acting in them, which I think is kind of setting the stage to do more and more film.”

And “Gossip Girl” would be her first pick, thanks to one of the show’s young stars.

“My husband is obsessed with Blake Lively,” she admitted. “She’s such a doll. I think she’s such a cute little girl and the actors are great and the storylines are really good.”
