Gossip Girl gossip just gossip

Gossip on the Gossip Girl set: There were recent rumours that the onscreen romance between Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively and Penn Badgley may have moved offscreen. However, it turns out that’s just gossip and nothing more as Blake denied all. "Everybody always tries to dig into your personal life or create things that aren't there... It's silly," the actress told People magazine. "Any male friend is obviously a 'romance alert' [for the media], but I've always been friends with boys my whole life. " Too bad, they make a cute couple on the show.

Prank Girl

Blake Lively, star of the fab new teen drama Gossip Girl, isn’t too blue about the writer’s strike as it just leaves more time to shop in NYC. “I love shopping in SoHo, really anywhere in the city that has the old cobblestone and tree-lined streets — it’s magical to actually film a show in New York City and not on a soundstage,” she told the New York Daily News’ Ben Widdicombe. In addition to burning plastic, Lively claims she’s big on the pranks. “I’m the practical joker on the Gossip Girl set,” she said. “I love pranking people. April Fools’ Day will be amazing this year — everyone should watch out. The cast always falls so easily for my pranks because they’re all too sweet, nice and unassuming. We have a lot of fun!” Can’t wait to hear what trouble she gets up to!

Gossip Gal

The antics of some of the characters on Gossip Girl may be reminiscent of some real-life trashtastic celebutantes, but the show’s star, Blake Lively, claims she’s not going to fall down that same rabbit hole. "I think that I strive to do the right thing and not fall into the norm [like] so many young people in Hollywood who... get caught up in some of the nonsense," the actress told the Associated Press. "I really try to steer clear of that." Hopefully that won’t change as her face becomes more and more recognizable. "One day these, like, thuggish guys were, like, coming out, rolling out of their Escalade, and they go – they're like, 'Man, that's Gossip Girl!,'" Lively recalled. "And they were, like, freaking out. It was so strange how many people would just get giddy over it. And it's people that you would not expect at all." Stay strong, Serena!
