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!
