Gossip Teen

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively graces the cover of the latest issue of Nylon Magazine (December 2009). Blake talk about fashion and how she dresses just like Selena, riding elephants, pranking her friends and her empathetic nature.

The 22 year-old seems to be a very sweet, talented girl and definitely deserves to be recognized for her incredible work on CW’s hit show. Here are some highlights from Blake Lively’s Nylon interview:

On punking her friends: “I swipe my friends with, like, my phone or something, - I slide it in their butts. Like in middle school! You say ‘Visa! Mastercard!’ Just to give somebody a jump. I’m a prankster.”

On riding elephants on her recent vacation to Thailand, India and the Maldives: “Elephants are the most incredible creatures I’ve ever been around. You’re sitting in this water that they poop in, and somehow it’s not gross. You’re scrubbing the bottom of their feet and behind their ears…”

On how she relates to Serena: “I dress just like Serena! I own half her wardrobe, so it’s far too similar to the way I dress. I feel ridiculous at times with her – because I’m, you know, killing someone or marrying someone, but I look like me. I’m like, ‘Oh, this is absurd.’”

On her new film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee: “I had a leash around my neck, and Julianne Moore was taking pictures. I thought, What am I doing with my life? What is happening? How is this a good idea?”

On her empathetic nature: “I feel a lot. I get really bad stomachaches all the time. So I went to a doctor, and he said, ‘You’re a feeler.’ I take on people’s pain a little too much.”
