Blake Lively on her naked scandal: “You keep your head down, you keep to yourself”

fp_7459891_livelyblake_bluedress_aar_05_13

I know, ANOTHER Blake Lively post, the second one of the day. In my defense, Blake is going to be everywhere the next few days/weeks, because she’s promoting her part in The Green Lantern. You could argue that she’s been promoting The Green Lantern while she’s getting pap’d in Verona with Leonardo DiCaprio, but I’m not going to start. You could also make the point that Blake is – reportedly – barely in The Green Lantern, and basically non-existent in the trailers, so why does she need to be all over the place for the promotion? You’re missing the point! Blake is big news. Not “Blake the movie star” but “Blake, Fashion Girl and the girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio, and Blake of the naughty photos.” That Blake is happening. That Blake is going to continue to be everywhere.

Anyway, Blake is seen here, doing the morning show rounds, wearing this turquoise/cerulean Tibi dress. I love the color, hate the design. It feels like a little girl’s party dress to me, especially with that flounce of the skirt… that makes her look pregnant (watch the video below). I would like to see it with a fitted pencil skirt, then maybe I would love it.

By the way, Blake was on Today this morning. When asked about her booby photos, Blake said, “You know getting into this business what comes with it… You do it for the art, for the wonderful work we get to do. Otherwise, you keep your head down, you keep to yourself. I have such a great family and friends that they’re my support system.” Here’s the video… um, I think she’s cute here. Just shoot me, but I kind of like her and admire her hustle. Also: SHE’S SO TALL! In her heels, she’s towering over everybody!

    Meh. This chick does nothing for me. She’s in a big budget movie, she’s a “fashion girl” (which is SUUUUCH an undeserved title, but whatever), she’s got her tabloid romance with Leo, and naked cell phone pics. All the right makings for someone I’d have an opinion on, but sadly, I don’t.

    I dunno, it’s like Lainey with January Jones. I have so many reasons to have some sort of emotion, negative or positive, about this girl but she reads so……plain to me. Like…who cares? I feel bad because its like Blake and her publicist are working OVERTIME to get people to care, but I just can’t be bothered. She’s not interesting to me. I could go to the mall and find 10 chicks who look just like her and have more scandalous personal lives. Sorry Blake.

  2. kiikii says:

    So i guess that’s the confirmation (that we didn’t need) that those photos were definitely NOT OF BLAKE LIVELY. -hahahahaaha-

  3. kiikii says:

    Well played Blake. Well played.

  4. Eve says:

    Wait, is she talking as if the pictures were real? Wasn’t that girl in the pictures TOTALLY NOT her?

    Otherwise, you keep your head down, you keep to yourself.

    Yes, down on DiCRAPrio’s crotch. We get that.

  5. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    LOL WTF does that even mean? I never cared about her nude pics. Blake Lively has done nothing substantial in my eyes. Bitch can’t even dress. None of those poor gossip girls can. Such a shame since they dress them so fabulously on the show. I find her a dime a dozen. Nothing special and nothing sets her apart from her gossip girl cast mates…not even boning Leo does it for me. This does not mean I dislike her but she is just there. I don’t care for people who are just…there. I do envy her height.

    @KC LOL Exactly!!!!!!

  6. katiemarie says:

    Oh yes, she’s clearly all about the “art” and is sooo devoted to keeping herself out of the spotlight. That’s why she’s always getting photographed at events and is now dating Leo and we’ve been seeing gazillions of paparazzi photos of the two of them…

  7. bunny says:

    UGH…..Shes one of those actresses who shows her legs to distract people from noticing her face or lack of talent.

  8. Rita says:

    Blake does an excellent job in her seemingly natural enthusiasm. I didn’t realize she is that tall. Wonder what Matt Lauer wants to do when he grows up.

  9. Quest says:

    I always thought that you should keep you head up not down. Well in Blake’s case down is better.

  10. Bubulle says:

    I can’t believe I said that but she does look pretty here, still talentless and phony though.

  11. Ari says:

    I have no real feelings on Blake but I love the fact that she loves to bake stuff. Anyone who has a true passion for baked goods is my kind of gal and can’t be all that bad lol

  12. fannomore says:

    she is a very cute slut

  13. Heatheradair says:

    Funny – as much as I’ve always wanted to hate this chick (I mean, I feel like I’m supposed to be wired to hate a girl that’s so tall and so thin with such big boobs who actually HASN’T jacked her face to high hell), somehow, I just don’t hate her.

    She seems NORMAL. Sort of ditzy, like she’s enjoying herself, like she’s living the dream….and I just can’t hate on that like I should…..

  14. Chloe says:

    Everything about her pisses me off. Her talentlessness, her mumbling, her fake boobies,and her skeevy 40 year old boyfriend.

  15. normades says:

    Heatheradair: That’s what her PR wants you to think. There is nothing “simple” or “just lucky” about this girl.

    Blake is 100% cool calculated ambition.

  16. alex says:

    Darn the hate for this girl is crazy. Why the need to call her a sl*t?. You don’t like her that is fine but calling her a derogatory name when you don’t personally know her is insane.

  17. jocular says:

    I don’t know why exactly but I really like her! She’s a clever, wily, attractive girl and I can only assume she keeps getting roles, the Chanel gig, Leo – because she is actually a nice person that you want to be around! (So presumably directors/studios think that will translate to screen) Naysayers you must admit that does happen and you’ve come across people like that (or maybe you are one) Despite David O’Russell having worked with lots of revered actors he chose both Melissa Leo and Blake to commemorate him yesterday. People just like her and its insulting to ALL women to say someone got ahead because they slept with every man in their path upwards.
    With all that said there is a poll below asking what is the difference between Blake, a toddler and a My Little Pony. (pre nude scandal) I told you she is clever!!

    http://thoughtcatalog.com/2011/blake-lively-a-toddler-or-a-my-little-pony/

    Hope its ok to post the poll/comparison Celebitchy/Kaiser – it had me in stitches! Though its actually also disturbing as to how women need to portray themselves in the media for the public to like them. Did she really need to sanitise her image to be accepted?

  18. Eve says:

    @ Normades:

    Blake is 100% cool calculated ambition.

    Best definition (or assumption) about Lively I’ve seen so far.

    She has a plan, and she is playing her cards accordingly.

  19. Mick says:

    She is living the American dream. She’s blond, tall, with a nice bod, boobs, butt and brains. I say more power to her! She comes across as down to earth, very young and who gives a “””””,if we think she is talentless, pretty, dresses to our likes or not.

    SHE IS HAVING THE TIME OF HER LIFE. I WISH HER THE BEST!

  20. ahot says:

    @normades, & why is it wrong? all those stars are carefully crafted figures trust me. & aren’t we all like that to some extent? We all do what we need to do to get what we want in life. & again, Ican’t knock her hustle. Bitch is grinding hard!

  21. ahot says:

    @normades, & why is it wrong? all those stars are carefully crafted figures trust me. & aren’t we all like that to some extent? We all do what we need to do to get what we want in life. & again, I can’t hate cause bitch is grinding hard!

  22. normades says:

    @ ahot: I wasn’t saying it like it’s a bad thing 😉

  23. Maritza says:

    She looks more like a model than an actress. I hope her relationship with Leonardo Dicaprio works out. I really don’t see why people hate her, she’s sweet.

  24. Turtle Dove says:

    Blake is sweet. I like the gal. She’s handling the embarrassment with grace and dignity.

    Yeah… she’s not ‘that’ tall. If I were there I’d be the girl her height…. but with no 4″ heels on. She carries herself well; like me she stands tall/erect and owns her stature.

  25. Riana says:

    Famewhoring 101:

    “If lacking in talent or good looks it is always important to surround yourself with people who have either or both.”

    “Choice movie roles do not merely fall into one’s lap, rather if you are looking for success YOU must fall into OTHER people’s lap”

    “Smile sweetly and speak softly, with blonde hair and a charming smile you too can escape the judgement of blatant opportunism that would be pushed on a less subtle girl”

    In other words…fake talentless famewhore. Also, please with the ‘She’ll be everywhere’ Lively is one girl who tries so hard to ‘happen.’ and still no one cares.

  26. Rosi says:

    i can’t begin to care for that woman. doesn’t seem very interesting to me…

  27. Madison says:

    Blake is no more “cool calculated ambition” than any other actress in Hollywood, they ALL do whatever they have to, to make it in Hollywood.

  28. Farfromhome says:

    @jocular I hope you aren’t the same PR person who came up with the super genius “not Blake” spin in regard to the clearly naked Blake photos…

  29. fabgrrl says:

    I think I love her.

  30. really says:

    love LEO’S baby mama!

  31. normades says:

    @Madison: Yes, but she’s succeeding at it!

    I used to think Leighton had the better tactic to stardom by working constantly even if the projects were pretty meh. But it’s clear that Blake’s tactic of kissing the right asses is working much better for her.

    She “studied” to become a fashion girl. Check.
    She “held out” for Chanel. Check.
    She “held out” for Leo. Check.
    She’s holding out for that A-list role. Wait for this to be “checked” soon…

  32. ebrca says:

    WTF? is she admitting the naked shots are her or faked naked shots come with the acting territory? it’s difficult for me to follow this story. i guess my brain thinks blake is so lame, it doesn’t want to follow/retain anything about her.

  33. bitchbelying says:

    I like her. She’s pretty, also, what has any of his previous ex’s offered that Blake couldn’t? She’s hot, if not hotter and actually has more of a career than Bar.

  34. jocular says:

    @Farfromhome nope, you can see part of what I wrote about that below if you wish – its what brought me to this website in the first place and got me commenting. I don’t think she is a great actress (but she may get better) but I do appreciate how clever she is in managing her career so far and getting all the opportunities she gets, that’s a female Machiavelli surely? fantastic!! You can have game but also actually be nice to be around!

    #
    She’s not acting in a porno, they are private photos not meant for publication. Her stupid publicist made this the biggest story of the summer by using the word fake, adding longevity to the story and incredulity to her client. Now people who may not have been interested can feel legitimate in searching for them to investigate for themselves and websites and blogs can feel justified in publishing them in their journalistic pursuit of the truth, ha! It has also given the ‘leaker’ the upperhand as they can post just about any pornographic or suggestive photo without a head, next to a legitimate photo and say it is her. (I personally don’t believe half the 2nd set of photos are her). I think the ‘leaker’ is daring the publicist to make another false statement. However she can’t say half the photos are real, half not, I lied/panicked before or that will just make her look a fool and surely lose her clients. (her previous clients include Lindsey Lohan and Britney.) The ‘leaker’ timed the story for maximum exposure – the Us magazine story leading up to the MTV awards this Sunday. The photos it seems were taken some time ago, so they have sat on them for many months presumably waiting for the perfect moment for us to eat it up, to cause the maximum damage to Blake’s relationship, image and career, though i hope that isn’t the case. That is cold and this was a premeditated assault.

  35. kieslowski says:

    @jocular, you know that David O. Russel never worked with Blake Lively, so why did he choose her to bestow this award on him?

    NOt trying to be bitchy just curious, since you pointed out that David O. Russel hand picked MElissa Leo (The FIghter) and Blake to give him this award.

  36. mary simon says:

    She was great in “The Town”.

  37. Franny says:

    I love her. I think she has a body all of us would die to have, and a pretty face. You can’t tell me that she doesn’t have a cute face. So let her date a guy who understand the business, let her dress in the clothes she wants (because she doesn’t have a stylist – and doesn’t ever look wtf crazy) and if she wants to take pictures of that sweet ass of hers…by all means.

  38. zesty says:

    I’ve never watched Gossip Girl and haven’t seen her in anything so I don’t get the hate. She seemed cute and friendly and articulate here. But good grief, she is GIANT!

  39. jocular says:

    @kieslowski He did a cameo with her on Gossip girl – neither he or she acted particularly well I’m sure he’d admit – so presumably he just go on with her, liked her & they’re now fledgling friends.

  40. jocular says:

    oh and considering he went on Gossip Girl in the first place he must think it’s good for his image to be connected to the show/her.

  41. kieslowski says:

    @jocular, thanks for the info.

  42. dj says:

    “Hustle” is exactly what this girl has lots of. It is the modicum of talent that eludes her still. As for the “art” is that in the Green Lantern somewhere?

  43. gamblea says:

    Truly a pencil skirt would look hot!

  44. CAMMIE says:

    “I think she has a body all of us would die to have, and a pretty face.”

    Speak for yourself,her body is not all that…thin with fake tits…That’s half of L.A….

    I feel like Bar’s body is much better..

    Blake is liar (nude pics) and needed plastic surgery to look half way cute.

    Jennifer Lawerence is prettier, more talented, So Blake’s 15 mins as a “It” girl is just about up.

    People say they don’t understand the Hate for her, Well I don’t understand the Love for her either.

    She is bland all around.

    Bar and Gisele aleast Leo more privacy, thick chick comes with Pushy PR Team.

  45. HotLatino says:

    I love her!!! I never watched GG but there’s somethin about her that intrigues me and it’s not her boobs, I’m gay LOL, she just has “it”! She did a great job on The Town

  46. Sigh. says:

    I don’t like/hate this young lady, and I’m gonna vote “No” on wanting her face, but if her legs could do her acting for her, I will admit that I would be more…impressed.
    Sadly, they cannot, so…

    And you guys do know that if GREEN LANTERN does “well,” and she keeps her face (…) in the public eye long enough with DiCap, they’ll probably start considering a spin-off (her character in the comics/movie becomes “Star Sapphire,” and her costume is QUITE revealing).

  47. baby says:

    really kaiser? she comes across as a total ass kisser in that video. ugh something about this girl. i wish i could put my finger on it. its true i don’t know her but somethings seriously OFF. i think watching her butcher a boston accent (if you can even call it that) in the town was the trigger tho..

    yeah gotta give her credit for the hustle, but it doesnt mean I admire it. there’s something really desperate and calculated about the way she goes about playing her cards. i guess i just get the vibe that she would step on anyone, even a good friend, if she thought it would make her a star. and that turns me off from what little she has to offer.

    as for leo, she can go ahead and have him! gross! he is wayyy past his prime IMO

    btw i do kinda enjoy the fashion stunts. in fact, i don’t know where i’d be without them 😛

    i agree with cammie above though, i think bar’s body is wayyy hotter than blake’s. i mean shit, until i saw that clip i had no idea how tall and awkward she is.

  48. S says:

    I really like her, and I think the dress looks great on her. The cut is flattering and the colour is beautiful. She has a beautiful smile, too. Team Blake!

  49. Franny says:

    Cammie- she has legs for miles with no cellulite, a trim waist and thin arms. If you tell me that if you could have that, and wouldn’t take it, you’d be lying.

    Does she have fake boobs? Yes. Are they tasteful and go with her body? I think so. And even if she had a small nose job, again, it was done tastefully. Honestly, if I had the money, I would make a few tweeks. Just small things that I wish I could change. She had the money and the resources to go to a really good plastic surgeon and fix a few things that she wanted to. I’m not going to judge her for that.

  50. Dee says:

    Idk, she always seems fairly charming in interviews…not a rocket scientist, sure, but cute and engaging. Also, girl is beautiful and this outfit is a billion times better than the hot mess from the last post. Her face might not be conventionally pretty but it’s def attractive/strong/interesting enough that I will never get the “butteface” comments.

  51. kasper says:

    “keep you head down” – i guess that’s what all her boyfriends tell her. it’s precisely this sort of inability to keep private things to herself that gets Blake into so much trouble.

  52. Rachel() says:

    Aww…she is cute! Not hating the Leo thing so much anymore.

  53. Cammie says:

    @ Franny,
    First of all … you don’t know what my body looks like,so How can say what I wish for..No I don’t wish for anything on her body,cause their is NOTHING unique about her body,specially not the plastic breast. I have seen pics of her in a bikini with Penn,and she didn’t look that good IMO. Iam not impressed by her body, there are 100 hundreds of models with a body better then hers, hundreds of non-famous girls with No celluite, trim waist, slim arms,longs legs,and real breast…. Go to a Miami beach, Cali beach, Brazilian beach around the world and her body won’t stand out among the best.Their are people with better toned butts, and real breast who look better Blake. Alot of the models who have babies look better then her..like Doutzen Kroes, Isabeli Fontana etc…I could go on with my list. Like I said before IMO Bar has the better body especially in a Bikini.I would rather have Bar’s body. Leo has dated alot of models,so really what makes her more impressive,cause she has nude photos out,she won’t claim, then the other no celliute, long legs, trim waist models he has dated?

    About her nose job/boob job it’s obvious, so how tasteful is that…she is plastic, I don’t want to be plastic. If your impressed with her fine, but not everyone is.

  54. monde says:

    Hey Flakey, you just dont have to keep your head down… but you also MUST HIDE YOUR FACE as Reese told ya!

  55. Az says:

    Gotta say, I covet those shoes of hers.

  56. honey says:

    her face is ugly, mannish even. i totally get the butterface comment lol

  57. wtf? says:

    dang is her 15 minutes still not over ??? flake and kristen stewarts performances are the best cures for insomnia…zzzzzzzzzzzz

  58. Layzo says:

    Ok I totally see now that she’s Leo’s type. Tall, sort of blondish. Not so attractive face but killer body. So yeah she fits. I still don’t get the hate on this girl though. She looks just meh to me. No one to incite such hate.

  59. sherlocke says:

    Probably if she didnt LEAKED those nude photos of hers; she wouldnt be that despised but then she did (though acting coy about it) coz she’s a desperate fameho – so its just all a well-deserved(bad)KARMA.

  60. Jilly Bean says:

    yeah. i dont get why she is a starlet… she is so dull

  61. @ jocular I hear you brother, but really , there are a lot of celebrities out there that starts the scandal by them selfs just to get publicity. I can mention some names, but I won’t . Tell me I’m not right 🙂

  62. jocular says:

    @ Art Nude Photos: Absolutely – see following comment from IMDB in reference to Disney star Adrienne Bailon –
    Jonathan Jaxson, a former publicist, tells X17online he and the “Cheetah Girls” singer hatched the plan to plant a story that the photos had been stolen from her laptop over the weekend. “She wanted to distance herself from the whole Disney image,” Jaxson said. “What better way than with a couple of sexy shots.”

    However in Blake’s case I don’t think you are right. The timing was very suspect – having the Leo relationship is a coup for ANY actress with a mind to raising profile and longevity of career. Also being the face for Chanel & the go to cover girl for Vogue is also a victory/erm honour! – I think from everything I’ve seen/read she wants to be respected in the industry and keep up the wholesome image she and her publicists have created for her – rightly or wrongly. I don’t think she would risk being demeaned in the public eye and jeopardising future Vogue/Chanel contracts. I also think she’s clever enough to realise that you cannot erase anything from the internet and this nude scandal will ALWAYS be brought up in connection with her.

  63. Luna says:

    I don’t like her that much exactly. I don’t think she is really smart or beautiful, but I don’t mind her, either.

    Hate her all you want, but I think she was cute here, and there is always worse *ahem* Linnocent *ahem*.

  64. Snarky_Pup says:

    Keeping her head down is the last thing we’ll ever see this chick doing! Don’t be fooled. She’s loving every minute of this. Look at how happy she is! It’s funny too how basically both she and her publicist have admitted in a round about way that those nude pics were, in fact, her! (Like we didn’t already know anyway.)

  65. the other mel says:

    Blake does have a lot of ‘enthusiasm,’ which I recall from one of her interviews during the promo for the ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ sequel. America Ferrera was all but rolling her eyeballs out of their sockets whenever BL spoke…and spoke…and spoke. America was like ‘Bitch, puhleeze.’ It was effing hilarious.

  66. Flake says:

    Holy crap the hate for this girl is ridiculous. She just took photos of herself and unless she did hardcore pornography or something, that kind of title is unwarranted.

    If you watch her interviews she’s never bitchy despite being in the spotlight, and she seems genuinely affable. Compare her personality to many of the jaded celebrities out there right now and you’d see we have something of a gem here.

  67. Ellie says:

    Forget the pics. Look at what she’s wearing. A blue flowered dress, leopard print heels and a sage green purse. HUH?

  68. I Choose Me says:

    I think I get it. She’s not my cup of pretty but she seems like a fun, easygoing girl with a great smile, an awesome body and ambition for days. Maybe it’s the fact that she doesn’t seem stuck on her self and she’s not afraid to give a genuine smile. People may be attracted to that. She’s subtle is Blake. That is to say – you know she’s on the hustle but she makes it look effortless. Again I don’t hate with her Leo even if I actually think she could do better than him personality wise.

    All that to say, she’s totally growing on me. Now if only she’d take some acting classes.

  69. Nan says:

    Blake’s family is sooo Hollywood. Here she is with her sister, remember her from Teen Witch in the 80s?

    Here is the pic:

  70. sloanite says:

    @ the other mel:
    Coz Blakey keeps on blabbing about Gossip Girl like its in a category of CSI or Greys Anatomy where in truth its like those teeny crap shows you’ve seen in Nickelodeon or Disney Chanel.

  71. pssst says:

    @ “we have something of a gem here”.
    ?!?! more like a big t-u-r-d!

  72. jocular says:

    @ I choose me – exactly.

  73. Sakyiwaa says:

    i’m really beginning to like her.

  74. Crystal says:

    That woman is so fake. I find it amusing when celebs act like they are only in the business for the art not could care less about the fame yet do magazines cover shoots and unlike celebs who are really private, their personal life is always on display for the paps.

    Interesting how her lying has been swept under the rug by the press, it’s obvious those photos are her since in one photo you can see the one side of her face and in another that shows her naked body from above the waist, a full view but her dishonesty is being overlooked. This scandel has made me feel bad for Disney stars who have been in a similar scandal. Like Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens, Blake has a lot of teenage fans yet her the reaction to her scandal is not as severe as Miley’s various photo scandals and Vanessa’s nude ones and unlike Blake, Vanessa was honest about it being her in the photos when the first set was leaked. Even Taylor Momsen received bigger backlash for smoking and her skanky outfits than Blake has.

  75. jasmin says:

    İN ADDİTİON TO BOOB JOB,SHE NEEDS A NOSE JOB TOO!!
    NOT TALENTED BUT KNOW HOW TOUSE HER SEX APPEAL

  76. Lora says:

    Right, cause she totally cares about the ‘art’ and the ‘wonderful work’. Not the pretty clothes and the fame and the sexy boyfriends…and getting to pose and show off her boobs on the red carpet. Seriously, does she actually think anyone believes that those nude photos are false? No way in hell.
