News & Appearances #7: Because Blake overload is not going to stop - yay!

Latest N e w s

There's lots more. Articles, interviews, videos, pictures. Just read back the old thread for everything.

Blake is the covergirl of Cosmopolitan


Quote:
As you may have heard, Blake Lively has had some issues recently with photos of herself on the cover of national magazine covers.

But, this cover of Cosmo should make her pretty happy.

She looks hot.

And what does she have to say about her relationship with Penn Badgley inside this issue of Cosmo?

Without mentioning his name, she says, “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been now. When I’m in a relationship, I give my heart and soul to it and do it 100 percent.

Everyone's Talking About Blake Lively
Thanks to a starring role on the addictive Gossip Girl, a new movie, and a high-profile romance, she’s Hollywood’s proverbial It Girl. One more thing: You know you love her.

Blake Lively is starving. She slides into a booth at a charming restaurant in New York City’s West Village and immediately buries her head in the menu. “Let’s share a bunch of stuff,” she says, then adds, “On average, I order about three meals for myself in one sitting.” She isn’t kidding. Two bread baskets, two appetizers, two pasta entrées, and three desserts later, she decides that’s enough food…to start with.

But there’s good reason for Blake’s ravenous appetite. As one of the breakout stars of television’s most buzzed-about show, Gossip Girl, she’s spent the last several months working 18-hour days. And that’s in addition to promoting her new flick, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, in which she plays a college student coming to terms with her mother’s death. Though she looks every bit the chosen Hollywood starlet (she’s dressed in skinny jeans, black ballet flats, and a leather bomber jacket), she hardly acts it. “I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs. But I do sleep around a lot,” she deadpans, before busting into laughter.

The fact is, her own high school experience in Burbank, California, was a far cry from her character’s ultraprivileged existence. While Serena van der Woodsen spends her time sipping champagne at the Palace Hotel dressed in designer clothes, Blake, now 21, was more of a gung-ho overachiever. “I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs,” she says. She even sported a bulldog costume to act as mascot for some football games. That up-for-anything attitude is what helped her break into acting. She got her first gig (in the original Sisterhood movie) because her brother, also an actor, thought she would like performing and asked his agent to send her on a couple auditions.

Want more? Pick up the September 2008 issue of Cosmo! You can also check out Blake and the rest of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 cast at the movie premiere.

'Gossip Girl' Blake Lively tries to ignore rumors

That's Blake Lively's response to photos that surfaced in June of the Gossip Girl star walking outside in Manhattan with a suspicious stain on her brown minidress. The culprit rumored to be responsible for the mark? Lively's 3-year-old malti-poo, Penny, whom she carries everywhere.

In fact, Lively blames herself.

"I spilled something on my dress. I didn't want it to stain, so I stuck my dress under the sink and was running out the door," says the actress, 20. "I'm holding Penny, and every magazine prints that Penny peed on me. It wasn't Penny!"

Ensconced in a Midtown hotel suite with Penny next to her on a plush pink dog bed, Lively leans over and pets the pooch. "She eats bones and stuff. She's a real dog," Lively says. "I bring her with me everywhere. It's nice to have another heartbeat. She's a little piece of home."

And she's a little bit of comfort in Lively's increasingly hectic life. The actress is most famous for playing posh prep-school party girl Serena van der Woodsen on the CW's Gossip Girl, which returns Sept. 1 (8 p.m. ET/PT). And Wednesday, she reprises her turn as plucky Bridget in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, the sequel to the 2005 female-bonding flick that marked Lively's major movie debut. This time, the four friends (Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn) are college students grappling with major changes in their lives, with Lively's Bridget heading to Turkey for an archaeological dig.

"Blake is a young actor but very thorough. I can see why she's on the rise," says Sisterhood 2 director Sanaa Hamri. "Blake was such a big advocate of the Sisterhood. She loved Bridget. When she feels something is right, she follows her heart, no matter what. She's fearless and down-to-earth."

Like her character, who "goes across the world, I was moving from Los Angeles to New York literally at the same time I was shooting this movie," Lively says. "I was moving away and starting out on my own. And I have these girls — people I work with, people on the show — that are really close."

So, there's no truth to persistent tales that Lively and Ferrera, now the award-winning star of ABC's Ugly Betty, were less than eager to do a sequel?

"I never read those stories. The only thing that made any of us nervous was the fact that we had a six-week prep," Lively says. "It happened so fast. We were nervous because we didn't have a script at the beginning. We were all so happy to be together. We loved the first movie so much. We wanted to do a sequel. There was never any hesitation about that."

There is, however, major hesitation on Lively's part when it comes to discussing her Gossip Girl co-star and off-screen paramour Penn Badgley. When told that they make a cute couple, Lively responds with a stilted "thanks."

"Yeah, I don't really like to talk about anything but the show," she says. "It's two separate things. You don't date a character. I'm nothing like Serena."

In fact, Serena's life goes through major changes on Season 2 after she and Dan (Badgley) ended their relationship.

"She has had the whole summer to be away from Dan," Lively says. "She's able to come into her own. She becomes a pretty important New York socialite outside high school. And Dan — there's still some residual chemistry."

There was a segment on ET tonight on Blake being the new Hollywood golden girl. And how they knew her back in 05.

I asked my 17-year-old twins if they know who Blake Lively is and the first thing each of them said is, "Yes, she's beautiful." Usually they say a girl is "hot," but Lively 's delicate features and air of respectability earns her a "beautiful." Lively stars in this week's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, a sequel to 2005's unexpected hit.

It is no surprise that the four friends go their separate ways and yet maintain their friendship. Lively grew up in show business, but she knows who her real friends are. "My friends that I've had since I was a kid I'm still close with. I don't email my close friends that much. I like talking and seeing people. You just email them and be like, 'Oh! I'll call you later. Make sure you're home', or something like that. But it's kind of impersonal. I-chat, is fun when you're across the country and you can't see the person."

And while she seems Internet savvy she does not communicate the old-fashioned way.

Lively becomes confused when asked if she ever actually hand writes a note? "On I-chat?" No, with a pen on a piece of paper? "Umm . . . no."
Rogen, Franco switch roles

Star and In Touch have some bits about Blake (and some Penn) but nothing major or new. Star is now speculating about her boobs

Oh, I love that. Thanks Sofia I've heard stories about Blake getting confused when emailing, I don't think she's as net saavy as she seems

I was trying to get Intouch but we don't get that here and I hate Star. LOL.

But they have a doctor concluding they are real

From this week's US Weekly magazine:

Quote:
Cover stars (Cosmopolitan)
Who – Blake Lively
Hometown – Tarzana, California
Clothes call – Chanel vest
Fashionista – Lively went to NYC’s Met Ball straight from the eight-hour shoot
No Serena – “I’ve kissed just three people in my life, other than stuff I’ve done for TV or movies…I’m weird”!
Blake also is the look of the week with her orange dress.

It's just a little thing. They have two pictures of her from the Dark Knight and TSOTTP premieres and then they speculate whether she has implants or not because comparing the two pictures in the one in the orange dress it's all boobs They say she must be using a thing called chicken cutlets.

For the record I didn't buy those magazines, or I would scan them, I just know someone who sees them for me

LMAO. Poor, poor Blake! What's next? I don't even want to think about it.

Oh, no worries, that didn't even cross my mind. I should see them in a few days...right now, I'm just obsessed with trying to get Cosmo as soon as possible!
