Gossip Teen

Actress Blake Lively looks naturally beautiful on the cover of the upcoming issue of UK’s Marie Claire Magazine (October 2010). The 23 year-old is ready to take more career risks to become a serious big screen actress.

Blake already owns the small screen with her role as Serena van der Woodsen in The CW’s hit show “Gossip Girl”, and she is set to make an impression as Krista, a drug-addicted single mother, in Ben Affleck’s movie “The Town” (watch trailer here).

“I’m on a very commercial show, so the last thing I want to do is a commercial movie,” Blake tells Marie Claire. “I wanna take risks, I don’t wanna play it safe. I mean, I could probably make more money if I did more commercial projects. It would be nice to buy an apartment but I’m 22 and I don’t need to yet.”

The actress preferred not to openly talk about her relationship with Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley. They have been dating for a long time (since 2007) and like to keep their relationship private.

“At the end of the day, you’re just in any relationship,” she says. “How does anybody go to work every day and come home? You just do it and it either works or it doesn’t.”

We might have seen pictures of Blake and Penn kissing, but they never really talk about it in interviews. She claims not sharing too much is the secret for a healthy relationship.

Blake’s super cute, adorable Maltipoo named Penny also appears in Marie Claire’s pictorial (picture below).

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively takes off her pants and strikes a pose for the cover of the latest issue of Esquire Magazine (February 2010). The 22 year-old actress is currently working on a new movie, “The Town” with Ben Affleck, where she plays a woman who is victim of a sexual assault.

The sex scenes were the hardest to shot because it can only be awkward, right!?! Yes, it was! “I have a sex scene in this film and that’s never comfortable,” Blake tells Esquire. “You think, ‘Oh, this is going to be so awkward.’ But this scene isn’t supposed to be a steamy one – it’s sort of tragic. … I’m pretty much crying in it.”

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively attended the premiere of her new movie “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival in Berlin yesterday. The 21 year-old actress wore a very simple sexy mini black dress adorned with a huge belt – not exactly the best outfit but Blake looks lovely as always.
