Blake Lively News

Posted on 29 Oct 2007 / News and Gossip

With so much speculation on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie it is finally good to hear it from someone that will give the straight poop on everything and spread some bathroom humor on Brangelina. And who better than a hot blonde that lives on high definition screens as a professional gossip. Blake Lively is in charge on "Gossip Girl" on the CW. She spoke to "Cosmo Girl" magazine about this insane asylum we call show business.

Us Weekly has some excerpts and notes that Lively reveals what it's really like to become an overnight star, her celeb crushes, and why the Britneys and the Lindsays of Hollywood deserve a break. Oh c'mon now do they really?

On fame: "It is a crazy and completely insane business. I'll go to an event wearing some designer gown and tens of thousands of dollars in jewels that were lent to me for the night, and I'll walk around and meet people who I always thought were such a big deal...Stars really are like anyone else. At the end of the day, Brad Pitt poops -- as handsome as he may be--and so does Angelina Jolie. I'm still baffled by how odd this job is."

On Hollywood's "bad girls": "I think some people who bash on the girls in Hollywood who are struggling with addiction or going into rehab aren't being totally fair; it's not solely their fault. When you don't have someone to model yourself after, you're going to make mistakes. There's no one there to tell them what's right or wrong or who is a positive example."
