Happy 21st Birthday, Blake Lively!
We know her as Serena van der Woodsen, but Blake Christina Lively - born August 25, 1987 in Tarzana, California - is nothing like her glamourous television counterpart. The actress is as far from it as you can get!
Despite a rising career that includes a starring role in Gossip Girl, as well as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and its sequel, Blake Lively is smart, humble, grounded and down-to-earth. And she turns 21 years old today!
Happy birthday, Blake. We <3 you. Below, the Gossip Girl Insider interns have put together a little photo tribute to the actress. Click to enlarge any of these - and follow this link for many, many more Blake Lively photos!

Its great that you have been raised up as a good girl -humble, grounded, smart, family-oriented, respectful to parents, learn how to see the good of each person.
Indeed you are one of a kind. My the Great God Almighty continously bless you with good projects, movies that will give you awards as an actress in the future. And yes, no to drugs, just have moderate parties and be an example to other young American kids. More power to you. Happy, happy, happy birthday. Have a happy lovelife too.
