Blake Lively On Leighton, Stardom Perks And The Club Scene

Blake Lively is on the cover of the December issue of W magazine, on newsstands nationwide on November 25th. The whole interview is here

ON THE PERKS OF STARDOM...
"I probably have, like, 60 gorgeous bags. I have a closet with my really sharp, fancy, nice ones--the ones that go with my Valentino pumps, for example. And then I have a closet with the ones that are a little more rugged-feeling, the kind that go with my Belstaff motorcycle boots."

ON HER AVERSION TO PARTYING ...
"I don't really like to go out. I'll go listen to live jazz, but the club scene isn't so fun for me."

ON GOSSIP ABOUT TENSION WITH COSTAR LEIGHTON MEESTER..."I've never really had a competitive relationship in any work situation. The media is always trying to pit us against each other, I guess because it's just not interesting to say, 'Everyone gets along; everybody just works 18-hour days and goes home to sleep.' That's not fun to read, I guess."

ON TRANSITIONING FROM MOVIES TO TELEVISION... "I've been learning as I'm going along. I thought, Okay, I'll try a movie. And I was loving films, so I thought, No, I don't want to try TV. But now I'm loving being on the show more than I ever could have imagined. It has been just the most amazing experience anybody could ever ask for. It's such a blessing."

ON HOW THE GOSSIP GIRL CAST IS EXPECT TO CHEW THROUGH A 55-PAGE SCRIPT EVERY EIGHT DAYS... "You get used to it. I can read a four-page scene once and have it memorized. It's a skill you learn in school: disposable cramming. We're flying by the seat of our pants a lot of times, which is why I enjoy doing films. It's a change of pace. It sounds cheesy, but with a film, you get to let each scene marinate."

Looks suspiciously like the Anniston photo up on the left. I guess red dresses and bare shoulders are in!

[Chirp]

She's very pretty but why does she have an enormous head and segmented doll like body? It's very strange looking around the LIVELY section of the cover.

[fistbump]

She looks much better after her nose job.

[Remi Morgan]

I really do like Ms. Lively too. And I think that she and Penn look perfect together. Of course, the media is a biast beast, and it will try its hardest to say that she and Leighton don't get along. Everyone likes girlfights. But I'm quite sure they're all professional on and off the cam.

I like them both too, but I have to say that I might actually buy a "Team Meester" t-shirt if it ever came down to that.

[DotCalm]

she's gorgeous, i love the show, it's a guilty pleasure but one thing i do with my teenage daughter.

[ConcernedAboutRFuture]

Isnt' this some insane show about high school girls behaving like um... call girls?

[DotCalm]

thanks for your, uh, concern ..... but the horrible behavior of the kids on the show provide wonderful talking points for our conversations while we're watching
