BLAKE LIVELY IS HOT … SOMETIMES
Blake Lively, better known as Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, confuses my eyeballs. She’s been 
quoted as saying that she hates the fact that she’s so “manly”, and about 95% of the time – that’s true. I’m a huge Gossip fan, and having seen every episode, I get to see more of her than the average person … and I’m not going to lie, she’s a little too manly for my style.
But then she goes and does something like this. I would personally like to thank the designer of this shirt/pants/dress/thing she wore to a recent CW event because it makes Blake Lively look outstanding. Check out the pix of Blake plus other GG characters below.

Gossip Girl just had its season finale, and as Serena and her classmates graduate high school, the future of the show is unknown. All I know is that Michelle Trachtenberg might be a main character in season 3, as she is rumored to be Blair’s roommate at NYU. One can hope.

One of the girls below has parents who don’t love her. Whom might that be?
GOSSIP GIRL COVERS ROLLING STONE
Just because I like watching stupidly gorgeous high schoolers spend their trust funds and have promiscuous sex with each other does not mean I want to see them on the cover of my favorite rock magazine. If you’ve seen Gossip Girl, you love it – I don’t care if you’re 14 or 44, the show’s dramatic situations and pure ridiculousness does nothing but make Monday nights at 8pm the best time of the week.
It’s weird living in New York City and watching a show filmed on location in the actual city you live in. It’s almost becoming hard to differentiate the characters from the actors, because each cast member is essential playing themselves on the show. The only difference between their real lives and their Gossip Girl lives is a script.
Jason Gay from Rolling Stone got to hang out with the cast, both on and off set:
“The outdoor sets were pretty fun, because the fans come out. There were many kids from local private schools, foreign tourists and tons of paparazzi. It’s very strange to see a mob of paparazzi photograph Blake and Serena in character as they film an outdoor scene. It’s as if the reality of the show exists behind two lenses — in real time and TV time. All the actors enjoy the outside stuff because of the fans, too. It’s like playing on stage or something. More energy, more excitement and the sense that anything could happen. And sometimes it does. There is no such thing as a closed set in NYC!”
It’s almost like the actors are famous in two different worlds. There is no “getting into character” on the set of Gossip Girl. Six of the cast members are actually dating each other, which is either really good or really bad for the show. I’ll go with the latter.

WEEKLY POP CULTURE UPDATE (01.14.09)
JEREMY PIVEN’S ADDICTION
The best news story this week has got to be the reasoning behind Jeremy Piven’s Ari Gold’s absence from his Broadway play, Speed The Plow. Piven’s doctor claims that he has the highest level of Mercury in his body of any patient he has ever seen and blames it on his “sushi addiction” and overuse of chinese herbs. TSF sends our best to the Piven family and hopes Jeremy can keep his chopsticks away from spicy tuna rolls until he is nursed back to health. Maybe he can use this off time to save Entourage’s shitty plot decline.
In this clip from Monday’s Golden Globes, Tiki Barber interviews the “sick” Jeremy Piven. It includes a great comment from Mark Wahlberg concerning Piven’s illness…

A witty comment is unnecessary. Just enjoy the pictures.

BEST MAN EPIC FAIL
I highly doubt this is real, but it’s unauthenticity wouldn’t make it any less entertaining.
SLANG OF THE WEEK
“SEXTING”
“Sexting” is a term used to describe text messages between two or more people of a sexually explicit nature. Simple sexual activity in text form or sending nude pictures from one’s cellular phone would be considered “sexting”. Three high-schoolers in Pennsylvania have learned the awful truth about thinking before you sext message and have been charged with a crime. “Taking nude pictures of yourself, nothing good can come out of it,” said George Sanko of the Greensburg Police Department. Well said, George. Take notes, kids.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK
FROST/NIXON
An outstanding movie about the 1977 interviews between TV host David Frost and Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal and his subsequent resignation. Superb acting and an incredible screenplay make this one of Ron Howard’s best efforts. Frank Langella (as Nixon) and Michael Sheen (as Frost) both gave Oscar-worthy performances and were nearly flawless in their execution of one of the most famous interviews in the history of television. Highly recommended. One of the best films I’ve seen in the last 5 years. 9/10
TV SHOW OF THE WEEK
GOSSIP GIRL
So I couldn’t avoid the hype any longer and I decided to watch Gossip Girl this weekend and I must admit that I almost got through the entire first season in two days. From the same guy who brought us The O.C., this drama about the lives of rich, spoiled, and oft wasted high-schoolers from Manhattan’s prestigious upper east side is crazy popular right now and wildly entertaining. Spoiled brats who all look like models getting in trivial fights and sleeping with each other – all while intoxicated – makes for a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Go watch it. You know you want to. Plus it stars the oh-so-hot Blake Lively (above, black) and Leighton Meester (above, blue).
