I had a small preview of this last week –Blake Lively is the cover girl for the October issue of Allure. Which means that this cover interview was done a few months ago, before she was married to Ryan Reynolds. They were probably engaged, but she doesn’t even confirm that. What she does confirm? That she’s hellbent on becoming the most perfect 1950s housewife EVER! Which is par for the course when it comes to Blake and her recent interviews – all about not working out, eating, cooking, cleaning, being a happy homemaker. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, but for the love of God, I wish she would change up her talking points once in a while. Some highlights from the piece:
Premarital bliss: “Right now, I’m so peaceful. I’ve never been happier in my life,” she adds.
Making the choice to be happy: “It’s the choice that you have to wake up every day and say, ‘There’s no reason today can’t be the best day of my life.’”
Family: “I’ve always wanted a big family. Oh, I’d love 30 [children] if I could.”
Imperfections, body image: “I obviously have plenty of imperfections on my body, but I’d rather have a little bit of cellulite and go do a food trip and try every ice cream place in the South.”
[Allure via Us Weekly]
She talks like a life coach. Right? Happiness is a choice, you have to wake up and say that this day will be the best day of your life, I’ve never been happier, I am at peace with the world and all things in the world and DEAR GOD ENOUGH. I appreciate that kind of “Zen” quality in people, but you have to admit… it makes for a pretty dull person.
Allure put up a slideshow using old photos of Blake (like, from her teenage years and her pre-nose job Hollywood years) and they got her to comment on the photos. You can see the slideshow here – she talks about being tall and how she was a “terrible, spastic dancer” in middle school how no one else at her middle school was doing the Kate Moss unbrushed hair thing. Funny. Blake also referenced Ben Affleck (COUGH!) and The Town while looking at one photo, saying: “[The Town] is one of my most proud pieces. That cast, I learned so much from each of them. They’re all such generous actors, and Ben was an incredible director. That was a big turning point for me in my life, in my career.” Fascinating.
Can you believe she’s cradling a lamb against her bolt-ons?

She looks like she’s been eating the wrong kind of mushrooms in the last picture. Probably picked up the wrong type whileshe was out foraging for berries and roots with the animals of the forest before going off to make a cherry pie and letting it cool on the windowsill -_-

If I were her I’d be pretty damn happy too.

You don’t need to look like anyone else to be happy in your own right, dear. And if you allow me a piece of advice, celebrities are definitively not the best example to follow.

See, I was thinking Brin meant she’d be happy, too– because of getting to bang Ryan Reynolds–not because of who Blake is. Just the way I interpreted it, though. LOL

+1, Brin. Doesn’t seem like she has much to complain about!

“I’ve always wanted a big family. Oh, I’d love 30 [children] if I could.”
Huh no, please. We’re already enough people on the planet, no need for some Lively Juniors everywhere but thanks for being worried about feeding the world, Blake !

I NEED that sweater , too cute. See I said something nice! I’m a life coach too just like Blake!! Lmao. Listen I think she is just the type that if they say it long enough they think everyone around them will believe it ( like im so normal , I’m so happy, I eat what I want and don’t work out blah blah … ) and in turn it will make it true. We all know the type.
On a side note — all i can think of is ,I hope she checked for ticks . Underwear in the woods yikes!

So her ‘game’ is turning herself into a ‘perfect housewife’ to snatch and keep a man? And how is this applaudable?
It’s not that housewives aren’t important, it’s that she has no ambitions whatsoever besides popping out babies, be a good wife and acting likes it’s such a perfect take on life and easy to manage. Hello, 30 babies? Really? Blasé moron.
And for the love of god: CLOSE YER MOUTH.

Well, there ARE some people that feel happy pottering about at home.I don’t get it either but whatever rocks their boat.
And personally I don’t know a single man that (deep down, because politically incorrect)doesn’t like to be spoiled by a perfect housewife. After dinner she changes into her domina outfit of course.

So she wants to be the next Michelle Duggar…?

30 kids? Yes, please, Blake, help overpopulate the world with yours and Ryan’s blandness.
The lamb photo is cute, but the one after it, it looks like she and her pants got lost in the woods.

I really love the lamb photo. But the next one is ridiculous. “I’m just in the woods wearing a sweater with no pants. Hey is that a squirrel?!?”

The dislike for this girl is more boring than she is herself. Seriously. And I would love to be a perfect 1950′s housewife.

The-most-boring-girl-on-the-planet who somehow always guarantees a 70+ comment post full of comments about all the boring nothingness that she talks about.
The irony of that is never lost on me

God, she’s boring. I keep going back and forth on wanting to trade places with her for a while. The insane body alone would probably be worth it and the stuff she wears on GG looks like a lot of fun but then I’m thinking I’d have to take her brain too and that thought is so painful.

Her and Ryan can have there own Reality TV show on TLC “29 Kids and Counting.” She should sit in a Pediatrician’s office on a Saturday morning, after that she may just want one.

I HATE it when people say they want that many kids.
Have a few, then see how many you want.
Oh, and you might have to work out after having so many babies….

the first pic is actually a dress. You can see the full version in the Allure photoshoot, also in Allure site, so she’s not naked with some tulle covering her parts.
I will never understand people. They want down to earth stars, they want them to be normal, to sound normal. And when they do, they don’t buy it or say it’s boring.
I got married the same age as Blake, I also want tons of kids, I like to lead a simple life. There are millions like me out there. She was born in the industry, she isn’t seduced by it as others. She saw her sister find fame in Teen Witch and completely disappear a few years later. So she knows how it all works, and she still wants to lead a normal life, she’s more concerned about being happy rather than anything else. Of course she’s trying to make her career longer.
And I wonder if those interviews are just pieces the actors write and send over, because I was always under the impression there was a journalist who came up with the questions and the star answered the ones they thought fitting. If they keep asking her about her body and diet and she will answer about her body and diet. Or do the journalist just goes there so the actor can literally dictate what he/she wants to be print?

Voice in the wilderness rather see real models on covers there are striking ones out there than a bland cookie cutter wannabe that some in hollywood are still trying to push on us. Yah, she has a great bod, but she just appears to be another mall girl to me. NOthing special to warrant endless mag covers. She’s a paper bag compared to christy turlington strikingly beatiful in her forties.

She’s always saying how she never exersizes and she doesn’t watch what she eats, but whenever the paps get a picture of her, she’s either coming to, or going from a gym!

I don’t understand her appeal other than the fact that she has a banging body and SOMETIMES she wears nice things.
She’s so condescending whenever she is interviewed. It’s always the same things being brought up, I don’t exercise and I eat what I want. I rather eat something good and have some cellulite than not. I style myself unlike most celebrities. There is always this ‘unlike most people.’ vibe going on at the end of all of her answers.

What is she? A FLDS member? People need to stop having so many children. This world is over populated as it is and we are running out of resources. It is going to get ugly. Jobs are scarce, food is scarce, energy is scarce, common sense is scarce. Just stop it already. This is why we are having the problems we are today.
