Blake Lively is on the cover of UK’s Glamour. In a skimpy, short beaded dress with an open back Lively showed off her svelte figure. Of course, she had to go and ruin it by talking about how she doesn’t diet or exercise. Sigh. Why do they always have to say that?!?!

She told Glamour (via People.com):

Blake told JustJared.com:

Blake Lively arrested!!! Really she did. Lively got arrested on the set of “Gossip Girl”! Lively who plays the character of Serena van der Woodsen was handcuffed and arrested on set. She left the Russian Tea Room restaurant and was handcuffed by two (acting) New York Police officers. What happened?

Blake Lively graces the cover of February’s American Vogue. Proving that Gossip Girl is 2009’s answer to Sex and the City and Beverly Hills, 90210, Blake said the clothes in the show are so amazing that one could “watch the show on mute and still be entertained.”

…Leighton Meester.  Huh?  Yup, Leighton beat out co-star Blake Lively, as well as a bunch of other beauties for the top spot.  Number two hottie gal is Hayden Panettiere and number three is Madeline Zima (Californication – huh again?)  The rest of the list is as follows:

Blake Lively still has parents who love her – which is adorable.  And they even have the ability to embarrass their daughter – and they did easily last week.  Where?  At her birthday party, where else???

Blake rang in her 21st Birthday recently, with her friends and family around.  What did mom and dad do that caused her grief?  They dragged out their old home smovies and showed everyone what Blake used to do!  She wore costumes and sang and danced as a Kindergartner!  How cute….they should release these to the public!
