At the Sherlock Holmes Premiere

It’s a great night to be a New Yorker!

Tons of stars turned out for the Sherlock Holmes premiere at New York’s Lincoln Center Thursday, including director Guy Ritchie, actors Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, leading lady Rachel McAdams, Gossip Girl Blake Lively (who must have been freezing), Eva Mendes, and Bruce Willis (with new wife Emma Heming).

Huge names, huge night!

Quote of the Day

“I feel like a tranny a lot of the time. I don’t know, I’m … large? They put me in six-inch heels, and I tower over every man. I’ve got this long hair and lots of clothes and makeup on. I just feel really big a lot of the time, and I’m surrounded by a lot of tiny people. I feel like a man sometimes.”

Gossip Girl Gets Raunchy

OMFG.

The latest issue of Rolling Stone is offering up a steamy package of Gossip Girl photos, including a cover of an ice cream-sharing Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, and cast image of everyone together in bed. 

Too bad these things never happen on the show!

Blake Lively Gets Arrested on Gossip Girl

Spoiler alert!!!

Blake Lively was arrested during a scene of Gossip Girl in New York Wednesday.

Does Serena’s past finally come back to haunt her???

Gossip Girl Affected by Recession??

Say it ain’t so!

Blake Lively was recently asked about upcoming plots for CW’s Gossip Girl, and hinted that the show would be addressing the recession in the U.S. economy.

Says Lively:

“You get to see a little bit of the economy reflected on our show. There’s a bit of a Bernie Madoff-type thing happening.”

As long as it doesn’t affect wardrobe!!!
