    Another beautiful actress! hide show

    Stunning… if I was into girls she'd totally be the type I'd go for. I love her good looks and down to earth attitude she portrays to the media… I'd love to meet her one day. Queen S forever! I think she'll be starring in Hollywood for a long time to come as long as she keeps up that really kind, sweet and outgoing personality and never loses touch with who she is. That's all I have to say.... ashame it has to be 100 words. Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake! !

    5 Mediocre
    Blake Lively currently is the primary character in the tv hit "Gossip Girl" and has continued to appear in various movies ("Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," "Accepted"). She is one of the bigger rising stars of the past year or so. hide show

    "Gossip Girl" is not a great show, it is entertaining, but not by any means great. Getting that out of the way, Blake Lively is arguably the biggest star of the series and while not a fantastic actress, she definitely has the charisma necessary for a star. The confines of her increasingly bland character on the show have not given Blake any area to show any legitimate talent yet, and while giving her her popularity, the show really proves how poor of an actress she currently is. However, through stints in the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" movies she has shown some promise, so until "Gossip Girl" ends I will hold judgement.

    She is totally gorgeous young girl. hide show

    I first saw her in the sisterhood of the traveling pants. And she is also outstanding in this movie.
    Totally I dont like Gossip Girl because for me it has the same story with O.C the only difference is the city. But I really like Blake.
    She is very gorgeous with her tall blonde hair. She reminds me Kate Hudson but much more prettier.
    She is so sympatic and loveable, and she can act by the way I think that she is the best actress in gossip girl.
    I hope that we can see her in better shows and more oftenly in big screen.

    serena... or blake? hide show

    i think shes awesome. she always seems to be so level headed and... normal?! she doesnt have a crazed beetch look to her [spelled incorrectly on purpose]; she looks nice, and sweet. serenas got some fight in her, and i imagine blake does too [every girl does! haha] but she instantly became my favourite on GG like she did in the sisterhood. shes gorgeous, which yes, she can't help... but shes not one of those girls who flaunts it everywhere. we dont see her in the gossip section because shes pulled some crazy stunt or shown her "britney". she's a stand up kind of girl. and she's come into who she is on her own - NOT because of her family & their lasting impression on Hollywood.
