Blake Lively - “Seventeen” August 2008

Blake Lively - “Seventeen” August 2008

Blake Lively opens up in the August 2008 issue Seventeen and shares about the crazy things she does with friends, the hot gossip about her co-stars and what’s really going on between her and her GG boyfriend Penn Badgley.

Here are a few choice quotes from the article:

On her real-life high school compared to Gossip Girl: “Oh, my goodness, my real-life high school experience could not be more different than Gossip Girl. Burbank feels like a small town in the big city of L.A. So for a fun night out, we would go to school fund-raisers. I was very involved in school – I was class president! And all of my friends were good – nobody was too wild. The kids on Gossip Girl enjoy getting a great education, but they couldn’t care less about school itself. But I think at the core, everyone deals with similar things in high school: jealousy, people making up rumors, dating someone you shouldn’t, or wanting to be with someone who’s unattainable.”

On her most awkward moment on Gossip Girl: “Chace and I had to do that scene in the first episode when I’m sitting on his lap on the barstool. Then they call, ‘Cut!’ and I just have to sit on the lap of this guy I met two weeks before! And I’m like, ‘So, you want to get some pizza tonight or something?’ What do you even talk about?!? It’s not as romantic as people think it is.”

On playing Guitar Hero: “I play in tournaments in Brooklyn. I’ll cover myself in sailor tattoos and dress like a rock star. Everyone else dresses totally normally and must think I’m a complete freak!”

On being compared to a hotel heiress: “I once heard someone say that I’m similar to Paris Hilton – since I have a dog and blonde hair, that must mean we’re alike. “It’s a dumb thing to say. I dont think that makes Paris and me similar … I don’t go to clubs, I don’t party, I don’t dance on tables, and I don’t like sex tapes.”

On her relationship with her on-and-off-screen boyfriend and how actors fall for each other: “Penn [Badgley]does these silly dance moves, and he’s very witty and quick, so it’s fun to have sharp banter with him… When you’re saying these words [from the script] that people are making you say to one another, nothing about it is real or genuine. So if two people connect outside their characters, then that’s how they get together.”

On being passionate: “When I care about somebody, whether it’s my best friend or somebody who I would date, I give them all of my heart. I’ve just been so loved, and I’m used to really loving people and trusting them.”

Wow, I’ve seen candids of her that were way more beautiful. She’s naturally pretty but this picture does her no justice.

That cover picture is definitely not her most beautiful of pictures, nor magazine covers…Seventeen…who are you trying to appeal to…? You’ve made he look much older than she claims to be.

Her mouth is so messed up! Way too much photo editing! She looks plastic!

I can’t wait to get this! I think Blake is a down to earth girl, and nothing like Paris Hilton. She looks great as usual.

Seriously, i think Leighton is way too much prettier than Blake. And i prefer to see more Blair’s scene in Gossip Girl than Serena’s.

the pic doesn’t flatter her .
but i <3 her

She’s just tall & blonde but scrap that, you’ve got HORSE FACE!

that picture is not flattering :s why would they pick that picture?!?!

She is sooooooo ugly, why they put her in those covers?

i think they resorted to photoshop because they didn’t have much to work with in the first place (nosejob and all)…

…even photoshop couldn’t help….
