Blake’s 21st Birthday

Happy Birthday, Blake!

Shameless Plugg

I’m so happy. I am the new owner of Kate Bosworth Online, I took over the site from Miss Faith. I have put up a new layout and working real hard on everything. For those who dosen’t know who Kate is, she is starring in “Blue Crush”, “Superman Returns”, “21”, etc. Go and take a look 🙂

Cosmopolitan – September 2008

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.

On being nothing like her on-scre­en persona Serena van der Woodsen: “I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs.”

On what she sees in a boyfriend: “I don’t want to date someone just to date someone. I want to be with a guy who’s going to be better my quality of life, better me.”

On kissing and telling: “I’ve kissed just three people, other than stuff I’ve done for TV or movies. I know — I’m weird.” ­

On her steady relationship with costar Penn Badgley: “I hope Brad Pitt doesn’t hear this. He’s never going to want to marry me.”

On The Set of ‘Gossip Girl’

The Blake Lively Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants Interview

Fresh from her huge Teen Choice win and a bunch of awards for Gossip Girl to brag about, Blake Lively hits the big screen nearly simultaneously, with Sisterhood 2. In the movie, those gossipy girlfriends in their own right have moved on from high school to higher education, leaving the past behind except for those pants that cling in more ways than one.

Blake stopped by to drop hints about the movie, and what may be new and different juicy stuff on the show regarding her small screen persona, that preppy party girl Serena van der Woodsen. The lanky lady was also emphatic about shooting down all those rumors concerning just how tall she may or may not be.

First things first. What was Jesse Williams wearing when he dropped his drawers in the movie?

BLAKE LIVELY: Some underwear, I’m sure!

Speaking of clothes or the lack of them, is your own fashion sense anything like the characters you play?

BL: Well Bridget is like Indiana Jones, and I don’t dress like that. And I don’t wear soccer oufits. So mine is very different. That was an easy answer for me!

Yeah, I was like Indian Jones in this movie, and that’s crazy for me. You know, those swooping hats. It was awesome. But I dress a little different than that.

Not Interested in Starlet Lifestyle

Blake Lively is in the celebrity spotlight, but she’s not thrilled with the unrelenting exposure.

Her relationship with Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley was fodder for the paparazzi, which intensified when they first denied the romance. The two recently confirmed they’re a couple, but the photo opportunism continues.

That doesn’t mean Lively is getting bitter or cynical or lapsing into a starlet lifestyle because she can. “I want to work and, at the end of the day, I want to go to dinner and watch a movie,” she says. “I don’t want to go to a club and not wear panties.”

The 21-year-old is too busy to act up, anyway. She’s filming episodes of Gossip Girl in New York and doing promotion for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
