Blake Lively looked glamorous in red, white, and blue on the December issue of W magazine. She's promoting her two upcoming indie films, Elvis and Annabelle and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee along with Gossip Girl as always. In the interview, Blake opened up about how her family helped her pursue acting and her relationship with Leighton Meester. Here are highlights:
- On her supposed rivalry with Leighton: "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 how she began acting: "My mom and dad always taught acting, so instead of getting me babysitters, they would just bring me to class. And I’m a naturally shy person, so it really helped. I would’ve just been hiding under the table, pulling on my mother’s dress if I hadn’t been in their classes. It forced me out of my shell."
- On her career: "I’ve been learning as I’m going along. I thought, OK, 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."
Blake also admitting to loving Serena's wardrobe, and we're sure that's just one of the many reasons she's enjoying her time as a TV star.

I'm not totally in love with these pictures but I think she's cool, I like her. She seems like a smart cookie and she's cute. I hope Gossip Girl sticks around for a long time.
1Im' not a fan of the shoot except for the 3 rd picture, but she's adorable i absolutly love her persnality she's a cuttie.
2so OVERRATED!!!blah
3I saw her in person once, at the Barney's warehouse sale. She seems really down to earth. I like her.
4cover pic seems very weird. Something wrong about the twisted arm...
where is GG Tuesday coverage on Popsugar? Did you chose to endorse Heidi&Spencer instead?
I miss Geek, Bella&Fab quizzes + Buzz's recap!
5It's true. I don't get why ppl always assume they don't get along.
I don't like the pictures. Her head looks unusually big! But she seems like a chill gal with a good personality.
And I like GG.
6The pictures are not that good. The cover makes her look like she has a big head in comparison to her body.
7I do enjoy her on GG though.
she's very pretty, but does she really only have this one facial expression?
8I love her on GG, but actually don't think she's pretty at all.
9I think she is cool and all but Leighton is way prettier (IMO)
10TEAM BLAIR all the way
She looks pretty, but has no neck in the first pic - like photoshop gone wrong. From the interview she seems cool and I doubt her and Leighton don't get along, I've seen a lot of outtakes from the show and they seem friendly with each other.
11These pictures are kinda boring, the cover looks weird, i think it's the arm and her head looks photoshopped.
12It looks like she has a Barbie arm
13yea I saw too back in the spring in the Village with her boy(girl)friend, shes .....ok.
14Let it go...people aren't buy another 2nd generation half-talent.
15she isn't drop dead gorgeous, but she does have some nice qualities and is attractive enough. she's very likable in the traveling pants movies...not too bad for her generation.
16She is beautiful but bad photos. Did she piss off someone at W?! They chose THAT for the cover? The dress/top is too tight, and squeezes her in an unflaterring way. Blake has LEGS....a shot with those gams would be way better!
17I really like blake lively. she seems down to earth and very sweet. these pictures are not her best though.
18Yeah, she seems to lose her neck a lot in that shoot.
19she is gorgeous
20This girl is amazing and I think she'll be sticking around. I have a feeling Gossip Girl will be around a while.
Also, I feel as though her and Leighton Meester probably have a good work relationship. It the one she has with Penn Badgley that is the phony one.
21I'm starting to get sick and annoyed of her, no offense Blake, I think it's Serena's character that is just so boring and blah. But I don't understand how underrated Leighton Meester is compared to Blake.
22wow, she is a terrible model - can't she do anything good with her eyes? I looove the cover, though, especially when you cover up her face. haha, sorry to be so harsh, but I really don't like the way she looks or acts...
23it's not that her body is twisted in a weird way or the top is too tight, it's 100% bad photoshop job all the way. that person should be fired.
oh and sylviamcdanyel i love your avatar, haha
24I'm over her. She's just blah... except I really do like her hair.
25to be honest i don't really care for her - but maybe she's growing on me a little bit. i think that perhaps she's realizing who to behave less like the star of a show and more like a seasoned actress so i could start to like her more.
26She's very pretty, but these photos don't do her justice. I can't decide whether I like her or not. She just doesn't seem like a great actress to me
