Blake Lively: New Esquire Cover Girl
Gossip Girl star Blake Lively covers the February issue of Esquire and shows why she's becoming one of the hottest Hollywood tickets around (in our opinion).
She tells the magazine that her Gossip Girl alter ego Serena van der Woodsen's notoriously revealing get-ups are not all that different than her own style.
"I can snap into Serena very easily," she said.
"The way I dress as Serena is pretty much the way I dress as me. I'm living in New York City, shooting Gossip Girl in New York City. I'm in a comfort zone."
We have to say, if she dresses like Serena, there's not nearly enough cleavage on the cover below, although maybe Esquire is going for a change of pace!
Blake is one of Esquire's "People Who Matter."
In addition to Gossip Girl, she's filming a flick with Ben Affleck, The Town, and was just cast as the lead in the upcoming Green Lantern with Ryan Reynolds.
In The Town, we'll get to see a sexier side of Blake, who got naked in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, although viewers didn't really see anything in the end.
She'll be baring more in the Affleck-directed crime drama.
"I have a sex scene in this film and that's never comfortable," Blake says. "You think, 'Oh, this is going to be so awkward.' But this scene isn't supposed to be a steamy one - it's sort of tragic. ... I'm pretty much crying in it."
That sounds like an ... interesting scene, to say the least. The only crying we'll be doing is if our girl stops posing for magazines. We heart Blake!

I can definately see the appeal of Blake, and I don't think she's at all ugly or completely without talent, I do however think she is somewhat overrated.
In my opinion (I say this because it is certainly not fact, just what I think) Leighton is much prettier, and a better actress. Blake just never sold me, and the face chewing thing she does on GG bugs the crap out of me; OPEN YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU TALK! sheesh. In saying that it really is personal choice, and I think Blake has looked a lot prettier on other covers...

@Heggy
agree with you!
Leighton seems to be more passionate about music...if you follow her on twitter u'll know
maybe she isn't the best singer but looks like a career in music is her lifelong dream...and we can't blame someone for pursuing her dream right?

I don't understand why it always has to be either / or. I think that they are both beautiful and talented. My guess is that leighton isn't getting as many roles cuz she's concentrating on her music career.

Lamo,Leighton is a blonde too.
If the people dont watch GG,most of them dont know who is Leighton.
Blake has more star power,she is super gorgeous ,low key and talented

I like Blake, but what I don't understand is why is she landing more magazine covers than Leighton. More people prefer Leighton, it just doesn't make sense!? And for the record, there is not one picture of her fully clothed. I guess blondes get around! :) hahaha

What family connections? Yeah they're actors but they're not even famous or work on big projects. Do people honestly think that her family has connections with Ben Affleck, Rebecca Miller, Josh Schwartz, and Martin Campbell who all cast her after watching her auditions or previous work(Sisterhood, The Town, Elvis and Annabelle)?
