The Sisterhood Sequel
Lively, Bledel, Ferrera and Tamblyn appear in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, which opens at No. 4, pulling in $10.8 million in its first week. "These [films] are [about] four girls loving each other and supporting each other and the friendship is really the most important thing," Lively tells CNN. "It's not the love interest or the cute, popular boy in school that you get."
Blake Covers Cosmo
Declaring her "Hollywood’s proverbial It Girl," Cosmopolitan puts Lively on its September cover. "I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs. But I do sleep around a lot," Lively jokes in the magazine. Comparing herself to her Gossip Girl character, Lively says of her days as a high schooler, "I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs."

Finger-Licking Good!
The cast of Gossip Girl stars in a series of provocative photos shot for Rolling Stone, with Lively and Meester scoring the cover. In her interview with the mag, Lively says she was initially skeptical about starring in GG, but was finally convinced when producer Stephenie Savage "told her what her wardrobe would be," says series creator Josh Schwartz. "Serena's a lot like me," Lively says. "[But] I make Serena a little more goofy, just because that's how I am."
