Here’s Blake Lively looking as sexy as ever as she hits the red carpet with some kid, I don’t know who she is, but it looks like Blake is babysitting an Amish girl. Weird. I wouldn’t mind if Blake babysat me, I’d be a good boy, we can watch movies and make popcorn and she

Kicking off her weekend a bit early, Blake Lively was spotted at the Jason Wu for Target launch party in New York City last night (January 26).
The ?Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? actress paled around with fellow star Chloe Moretz at the swanky Skylight SoHo venue while shutterbugs snapped up pictures.
Earlier in the day, Blake was joined by Penn Badgley and Ed Westwick as NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented the ?Gossip Girl? cast with a prestigious proclamation in honor of the show?s 100th episode.
After the shindig, Bloomberg tweeted, ?Congratulations to @GossipGirl on your 100th episode! XOXO - MB #MadeInNY.?

These are new photos of Blake Lively at two events yesterday – one with Mayor Bloomberg of NYC, who made some kind of mayoral proclamation for Gossip Girl?s 100th episode. I guess they get special attention because Gossip Girl is one of the few shows set in NYC that actually shoots in the city? Probably. And plus, His Honor just loves Gossip Girl. There are also photos of Blake (and Chloe Moretz) at the launch of Jason Wu?s line for Target. It seems like kind of a budget, down-market event for Blake, but I?m guessing she did as a favor to Jason Wu, whom she wants to develop a relationship with. I?m not really loving Blake?s Jason Wu outfit, though – it doesn?t do anything for her, or maybe I?m just not used to seeing her T&A so covered up. Who are you, Blake?
Meanwhile, the tabloids managed to find another angle on the boringness that is Blake and Ryan Reynolds. According to In Touch Weekly, Blake is totes jealous of Ryan?s continuing relationship with Scarlett Johansson:
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had their first big fight after she put her foot down over his still-close relationship with ex-wife Scarlett Johansson. Although Blake?s rep denies the fight, ?Ryan said Scarlett will always be a part of his life no matter what,? says an insider, adding Ryan accused Blake of being insecure.
?She stormed out, furious!? the source claims.
After Ryan?s take-it-or-leave-it stance, Blake has been trying to set up a dinner with ex Leonardo DiCaprio out of revenge.

One, I don?t even think Ryan and ScarJo are even that close any more. I mean, they weren?t even that close when they were married, why start now? Two, Blake really doesn?t seem like the jealous type. She doesn?t seem like the girl who will ?demand? that her boyfriend stop spending time with someone. Three, don?t even give me BLEO hope. I miss Bleo. Bleo is never going to happen again, is it?

Even the mere mention of Blake Lively as the lead in a film is enough to make producers back out. The Playlist had a rumor that Lively was cast as a pill-popping woman in a love triangle between her doctor an ex-con husband, played by Jude Law and Channing Tatum, in Steven Soderbergh’sSide Effects. That rumor was enough to cause film studio Annapurno so much concern that they dropped out of financing it. The movie, to be distributed by Open Road Films, now needs new financers which it hopes to find at Sundance.
“We don’t have any cast set yet. We’re definitely very interested in those actors, but there’s nobody set,” he said. “It’s a little frustrating because it can often spoil the process a little bit. When things become public in general, they’re harder to manage. As a producer it becomes more complicated. A lot of the rumors are false and people are disappointed when you actually hire the person you wanted. It’s a little problematic, it’s something you have to live with.”
Variety reports that Annapurna dropped out of the film Friday, days before di Bonaventura denied the concrete casting, making clear the tangible effect on production that can be wrought by the rumor mill. That the casting rumors started weeks ago, without a public correction, is less an accident than a now-damaging concession to the web’s insatiable appetite. HuffPo
That’s a huge blow to anyone’s self-esteem when you’re the one who people are unsure about, not Channing Tatum who’s acting is as dull as toenail clippings. I’ve seen parrots with better delivery.

OH NOES. The girl with the golden PR moves has fumbled! Several weeks ago, the casting rumor mill went into overdrive and there were major claims that Blake Lively had scored a lead role in Steven Soderbergh?s latest film, The Side Effects. Blake was alleged cast as a woman struggling with addiction, torn between her veteran husband (Channing Tatum) and her shrink (Jude Law). It was a juicy, meaty role, and Blake would have been required to do some heavy lifting, acting-wise. The speculation about the casting caused consternation – why Blake? Why Steven Soderbergh? WHY? Well, things just got more complicated. As it turns out, the film studio producing The Side Effects, Annapurna, has just dropped out, and rumor has it they dropped out because of Blake?s alleged casting. What makes it even worse is that now it seems like Blake?s casting is back to just being a ?rumor? not a fact.
Call it a troubling side effect of the proliferation of casting rumors. According to Variety, film studio Annapurna has dropped out of its commitment to finance Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming psychodrama thriller, “Side Effects.” According to the Playlist, the studio balked at Soderbergh’s rumored casting of Blake Lively as a pill-addicted woman at the center of a love triangle between her doctor and ex-con husband. The two men, according to recent reports, will be played by Jude Law and Channing Tatum, respectively.
The film is still set to be distributed by Open Road Films, but will need to find new cash for production; Variety reports that it should be able to do so at Sundance.
Both Law (“Contagion”) and Tatum (“Magic Mike,” “Haywire”) have worked with Soderbergh before, but this would be Lively’s first time with the director. Then again, as producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura told The Huffington Post this week while talking about his new film “Man on a Ledge,” the casting was just a rumor — and, as is now evident — rumors can often hurt a film in pre-production.
“We don’t have any cast set yet. We’re definitely very interested in those actors, but there’s nobody set,” he said. “It’s a little frustrating because it can often spoil the process a little bit. When things become public in general, they’re harder to manage. As a producer it becomes more complicated. A lot of the rumors are false and people are disappointed when you actually hire the person you wanted. It’s a little problematic, it’s something you have to live with.”
Variety reports that Annapurna dropped out of the film Friday, days before di Bonaventura denied the concrete casting, making clear the tangible effect on production that can be wrought by the rumor mill. That the casting rumors started weeks ago, without a public correction, is less an accident than a now-damaging concession to the web’s insatiable appetite.
“I used to try to correct it all the time, but no one cares when you try to correct it in my experience,” the producer said. “Whatever the better story is, I guess if the correction is the better story, they’ll go with that, but if they like the rumor better than your correction, they’re going to stick with it.”
Soderbergh has always made sure to make films his own way, and Lively would be one of his less off-kilter leading lady choices. She is an accomplished screen actor, with a starring role in “Gossip Girl” and supporting parts in dramas like “The Town,” while the director has cast porn star Sasha Grey in an art film, and his current film, “Haywire,” stars Gina Carano, a former MMA star.
He’s also not afraid to pull out of projects. Soderbergh spent years developing Brad Pitt’s “Moneyball,” only to walk away when that film was not heading in his preferred direction.
“If I can’t do a film the way I want to do it, then I don’t want to do it,? he recently told the Star Ledger. “On ‘Moneyball,’ the way I wanted to tell the story was very unorthodox. It was very carefully planned out, but it required a real leap of faith on the part of Brad and the part of the studio. And, you know, in the end, it’s their money and it?s their call.”

That?s pretty rough for Blake – she can?t headline a film without it causing major financial difficulties and controversies. Does this mean the film will be recast in total? Does it mean that only the lead role will be recast? Does it mean that although Blake?s PR game is spectacular, she still can?t headline a film in the eyes of Hollywood producers and studios? Considering I – and nearly everyone else – balked at the idea of Blake headlining a Steven Soderbergh film, I?d say it?s just that people don?t buy her as a lead actress in films yet. They?re content to let her play ?the girl? in big-budget films, but she doesn?t get to headline yet.

Stepping out for a fun-filled evening, Blake Lively was spotted at a screening of ?Haywire? in New York City last night (January 18).
The ?Gossip Girl? starlet was all smiles as she posed for the paparazzi on the black carpet outside the Landmark Sunshine Cinema.
And Blake was in good company, as fellow celebrities like Ewan Mcgregor, Elizabeth Banks, and Gina Carano were also in the house.
?Haywire? is about a ?black ops super soldier who seeks payback after she is betrayed and set up during a mission.? It hits theaters on January 20th.

We all know what?s going down with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. We know because Blake wants us to know, and because Ryan is to hypnotized by Blake?s biscuits to care about her famewhore ways right now. Blake and Ryan (RAKE) spent Thanksgiving together. They shacked up in Boston together. They?re apartment-hunting in NYC. They vacationed with Muffy & Boomer in Connecticut. They go to ice cream socials and little out-of-the-way bed & breakfasts, where they are photographed mid-makeout session. And now they?ve spent Christmas together in Canada. Us Weekly SOMEHOW managed to get all of the details:
It was a crisp 35 degrees in Vancouver on December 20. So naturally, Blake Lively was all bundled up while picking out a birthday cake with her new boyfriend, Ryan Reynolds, for his dad at Original Cupcakes. But the Gossip Girl star really warmed up when the Canada native selected a few special treats just for her.
?The salesperson told them Jay-Z had come in a few days earlier and bought an eggnog cupcake for Beyonce,? a source tells Us, ?So Ryan ordered six of them for Blake!?
That kind of simple romantic gesture is one way the actor, 35, has won over Blake after two months of dating. And sources say Lively, 24, is just as giving.
?She?s making an equal, is not greater, effort to make Ryan happy,? says one insider of the couple. Indeed, a caring girlfriend who whips up homemade dinners and prefers home-movie nights to premieres seems to be an ideal antidote for Reynolds after his rocky marriage to Scarlett Johansson.
?Scarlett treated Ryan badly, so he loves the comfort that Blake provides,? says the source. ?It?s like, ?You were on the cover of Vogue and you want to cook me dinner? Yes, please!??
While in Vancouver, a Reynolds family dinner was on the itinerary, and a trip to the Granville Island Public Market, where Lively bonded with Reynolds? mom, Tammy. ?Blake and Ryan held hands and Tammy had her hand on Blake?s back as they walked around,? says an eyewitness. ?They laughed all the way to the car – and Blake let Tammy have the front seat!?
The duo is making the most of their holiday time together – ?They love to sit at home and cuddle,? adds the insider. ?Those two are over-the-moon in love.?
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
?They love to sit at home and cuddle.? Just gag me. I know, I know. I?m often accused of thinking, talking and writing like a dude, but really, Ryan needs a much butcher image than cuddlefesting with his Gossip Girl. That being said, I get it. Blake is really putting some effort into this relationship, and I do believe that she and Ryan are truly loved up, in every sense. Now, do I believe that ?Scarlett treated Ryan badly, so he loves the comfort that Blake provides?? Eh. I think Ryan is one of those guys who likes ?traditional? girls. He wants a girlfriend/wife who will make a fuss over him, cook for him, drop everything to be with him, and act like he?s the center of her universe. Bless her heart, Scarlett didn?t do that. Blake is playing along, though.

Getting down to work on their show ?Gossip Girl,? Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were spotted on the New York City set today (December 14).
The CW costars filmed scenes outdoors, one of which involved Blake and Leighton getting into an argument just before Lively hails a cab and drives off in a huff.
In between takes, Ms. Lively entertained herself by taking pictures of a man walking his dog while wearing a New York Yankees ballcap.
Speaking of dogs, Blake brought both her dog Penny and her boyfriend Ryan Reynolds? beloved pooch Baxter with her to the set yesterday.

These are photos from last Friday?s grand opening of the Apple Store at Grand Central Station in NYC. Blake Lively was there – because she?s an Apple girl? Can we talk about her coat for a minute? I would like to see a version of the coat without the Christmas-tree skirt draped around her shoulders. What?s that? THAT is part of the design of the coat?!? Hideous. But I guess we should praise Blake for being covered up – she hardly ever wears this much.
In other Blake news, she and Ryan Reynolds just got pap?d together. AGAIN. You can see the ?morning after? photo here – Blake and Ryan in NYC, with coffee and hats. I know Lainey is always asking ?How does she DO that?? but the single most amazing thing about Blake?s game is that she ends up with the guys who are notoriously private, the dudes who are rarely – if ever – photographed with their ladies. And then when they get with Blake, suddenly their affair is all for general consumption, they get pap?d in intimate outings, with astounding frequency. That happened when Blake was with Leo, and now it?s happening with Ryan Reynolds, who is usually way more locked down. And now the ?happy, happy couple? tabloid reports begin. Blake?s publicist managed to get this in People Magazine:
It’s holiday time in the city, and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are making the most of it ? criss-crossing Manhattan on Saturday for a double-date breakfast on the Lower East Side and coffee in the West Village.
The couple, who’ve been heating up as the temperatures drop, joined Lively’s sister Robin and her husband for breakfast at one of Blake’s favorite restaurants in the city, the Stanton Social.
The couple shared a breakfast of doughnuts, tacos de huevos, bacon-egg-and-cheese biscuits, pierogies and muffins. They were very cuddly, giggling and leaning on each other in the booth.
In addition, the new couple hit up coffee shop Mojo on Charles Street in the West Village. They were touchy-feely, with Reynolds, 35, dressed in checked slacks, Chucks and a henley layered under a sweater, and Lively, 24, wearing a curve-hugging charcoal shift, netted tights and boots. Lively chatted with patrons as she waited for her coffee, even introducing herself to one. The Gossip Girl star also seemed taken with a piece of art that looked like a collage of gumballs, snapping a pic on her iPhone.
[From People]
Sigh? that?s a lot of breakfast, right? That?s a lot of carbs. I?m not sure that I buy that Blake eats doughnuts and muffins and biscuits and pierogies and all of that. But maybe Ryan likes girls that eat. And Blake is changing for him! Sigh?

Getting her techno-fix, Blake Lively was spotted at the grand opening of the Apple Store at Grand Central Station in New York City today (December 9).
The ?Gossip Girl? hottie looked focused as she checked out all of the fabulous gadgets on display and chatted with a store employee.
In relationship news, Blake?s romance with Ryan Reynolds is going quite well it its early days, and that?s making Reynolds? ex-wife Scarlett Johansson a bit uneasy.
An inside source claimed, "Scarlett is pissed that he's not under her spell anymore. She realized what a great catch Ryan was. Ryan would have gotten back with her. He was so totally in love, but then she flaunted Sean [Penn] right after their split, and he was done."
