Blake Lively and Penn Badgley (both wearing Ralph Lauren) stick together on and off camera and off. Here they are seen at the Nina Ricci afterparty at the Met’s Costume Institute Gala Monday in New York.

While the Gossip Girl stars don’t admit they’re dating, Penn Badgley told People regarding Blake Lively, “I think she’s incredible. She’s an amazing person and she’s beautiful – so there’s not a lot to dislike.”

Don’t Penn Badgley and Blake Lively make the cutest couple?

The lovely Gossip Girl star Blake Lively showed off her stunning good looks during a shore-side photo shoot in Malibu this past Saturday.

Joined by a few fellow female beauties, the 20-year-old Gossip Girl actress wore a white dress shirt over a bikini as she frolicked on the beach…

Needless to say, she’s gorgeous. But does anyone know what this photo shoot was for? If so, please leave a comment and let us know. In the meantime, click to enlarge any of these Blake Lively pictures!

The Gossip Girl cast - Jessica Szohr, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, Taylor Momsen and Leighton Meester - collectively made People magazine’s Most Beautiful list. No argument here!

The beautiful and talented cast of Gossip Girl.

On-screen, they are gorgeous, scheming, back-stabbing high schoolers. Off-screen… oh who are we kidding, they are still gorgeous. But fortunately, they’re somewhat kinder to one another.

“I assure you,” Badgley says, “we are all fun and charming as hell.”

She’s fabulous, isn’t she? The beautiful Gossip Girl star, Blake Lively, attended the Chanel Dinner held at the Greenwich Hotel during the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival on Monday in New York City…

As usual, Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively shines - on and off the show!

The editors of FHM magazine recently came out with their list of the 100 sexiest females, and Gossip Girl star Blake Lively was ranked ninth!

That’s eight spots too low in our site’s opinion, but still, not a bad showing for Blake Lively. Somehow, “actress” Megan Fox ended up winning.

In honor of Gossip Girl’s leading lady making the top 10, here’s yet a beautiful photo of her! Follow this link for more Blake Lively pictures!

Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively: The world’s sexiest (in our opinion)!

Is it hot in here, or is it just… Blake Lively! The Gossip Girl star was looking terrific in a yellow dress, perfecting her Laura Ashley / Scarlett O’Hara look, shooting scenes in New York City on Wednesday afternoon.

We love Blake Lively’s character, Serena van der Woodsen, because of her personality - but her terrific sense of style doesn’t hurt either!

Ed Westwick lowers his head, narrows his eyes and curls his mouth into his signature Chuck Bass snarl.

Hovering at the edge of the Gossip Girl schoolyard set wearing one of the dandy’s trademark candy-colored garments (this one’s a traffic-cone orange trench coat), Westwick hops up and down, shaking out his arms like a boxer about to enter the ring.

His foes? Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), the lead characters on Gossip Girl, the modestly rated but wildly buzzed- and blogged-about CW teen drama that’s arguably permeating pop culture in way not seen since The OC.

According to USA Today, Ed Westwick completes his Chuck transformation as he strides across the ersatz courtyard in front of the rolling cameras and sidling up to Serena, who’s sitting on a bench.

“It’s been awhile since I saw the old Serena,” he growls.

Gossip Girl’s gaggles of fans are thinking the same thing.

On Monday, Serena, Blake, Chuck and the rest of the groomed gang of private high schoolers are back on the Upper East Side to continue the cavorting begun before the writers’ strike.

Shenanigans then included breaking into the school pool for a martinis and bikinis party; sleeping with a boyfriend — and his best friend — as Blair did; and (OMG) taking a pregnancy test.

All of which, of course, “everyone does,” jokes Meester, especially within the same week. At the end of the last episode, Blair’s reputation is in ruin, and Nate, her ex, is adrift, having lost Blair and his best friend, Chuck.

Expect ratcheted-up raciness in the final five episodes of Gossip Girl’s Season 1, the cast members themselves reveal. “These scripts have been really juicy and exciting,” Blake Lively, 20, says.

For one, Serena’s oldest frenemy, Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg), returns to reveal why the blond heroine was mysteriously whisked away to boarding school, only to come back in time for the start of the series.

Georgina’s presence promises to shake up Serena’s uptown girl-Brooklyn boy romance with Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley). Oh, and one character is coming out as gay, though no one will reveal whom.

It will all be chronicled, of course, via the must-read blog of the anonymous Gossip Girl (voiced by Kristen Bell).

Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester are the cover girls for the latest issue of Nylon magazine! You may click here for the full story, but we have some excerpts for you below.

Leighton Meester on playing her character on Gossip Girl: “Maybe I’ve known [Blair Waldorf] somehow or I know her in myself, and she needs somebody to portray her in a way that isn’t completely harsh because she really could be so hated.”

Blake Lively on how she almost turned down Gossip Girl: “[I thought] if there are pet monkeys wearing coordinating outfits, that’s not something I’m going to want to be a part of… ”

Leighton Meester on Gossip Girl styles: “Serena van der Woodsen is more thrown together and effortless and doesn’t really care, and is just like, has this sexiness to her without trying, and Blair is really uptight and conservative and put together and everything has to be perfect, you know Chuck Bass is kind of cocky and he’s just like, I don’t know, a prick.”

Blake Lively on the weirdness of online forums: “Yeah, it’s kind of crazy but after the first Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants trailer even came out, um, I guess it’s maybe I’m the only person with long blonde hair in Hollywood? I don’t know, but everyone was like, ‘Oh, she should be Serena.’”
