Blake Lively was spotted at the Valentino fashion show, as part of Paris Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2008 on Wednesday in Paris, France.

Gossip Girl's possible real-life couple, Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, were spotted smooching while shopping on 5th Ave. Saturday.

That's according to the New York Daily News, which also reports that before the writers strike shut down production, things had gotten quite clique-y on the set of the sexy freshman CW hit.

Also, if you don't want to know the identity (at least according to the Daily News) of the title character — an unseen narrator voiced by Kristen Bell — the mother of all Gossip Girl spoilers (which we don't believe) lies ahead.

"Leighton Meester and Blake Lively avoid each other like the plague while castmates choose sides," says a snitch on the set.

NOTE: Blake Lively denies this in the new Teen Vogue.

"Chace Crawford tends to stick close to Leighton, while Penn Badgley hangs on and offscreen with Blake," the spy said. "The crew will snag Blake for a scene just moments before it is shot so they can avoid any awkwardness with Leighton."

If that's true, it's so high school!

And as for the Gossip Girl spoiler about the title character's identity?

"Since the writers' strike, the team hasn't decided how or when to reveal who Gossip Girl is, but it is Eric van der Woodsen (Connor Paolo)."

So Gossip Girl is really Gossip Guy? Come on.

What do you think?

Blake Lively is the March 2008 cover girl for Teen Vogue! Here are some of the interview excerpts from the Gossip Girl star ...

On her rumored romance with co-star and on-screen boyfriend Penn Badgley: "I try not to talk about my dating like I want to, but once you start, it's all downhill from there."

On trying to be sexy during Gossip Girl: "In one scene, I was totally falling off the barstool (making out with Chace Crawford). I was trying to be sexy. So I think, ‘what would Britney Spears do?' So I whished around my hair."

On those rumors of Gossip Girl on-set strife: "There is always going to be drama on set, but it's just not true that Leighton Meester and I dislike each other."

On her older brother, an actor and model, sending some of her pictures to his agency: "I played along and did a few auditions. After eight weeks, I got my role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants."

On not wanting to act as a child: "I actually wanted to be an interior decorator. Baking and flower arranging have always been my favorite hobbies. I love Martha Stewart."

Forget the revenge Blair is sure to inflict on those that have wronged her when Gossip Girl returns with new episodes.

What about the hot rumors away from the set? Most notably: Is Blake Lively really dating Penn Badgley? The gorgeous actress addressed such talk with People magazine last night.

"Everybody always tries to dig into your personal life or create things that aren't there... It's silly," Lively told the publication at the Chanel Fine Jewelry event on Wednesday night. "Any male friend is obviously a 'romance alert' [for the media], but I've always been friends with boys my whole life. "

Blake Lively says her and Penn Badgley are not dating. But didn't Heroes stars Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere also deny a romance for months?

Lively added that she tries to ignore the paparazzi.

"[I] just try not to listen to what people say," the portrayer of Serena said. "At least for me it's important – because I'm so close with my family and my friends – to keep core people around me that know the truth about everything."

Blake Lively heads out in Los Angeles last night, toting along her little brown dog as she reportedly heads to shoot promos with her Gossip Girl castmates.

Regardless, these two know each other well. Blake has known Penn Badgley since the age of 11, as stated during an interview with Tyra Banks.

A real-life romance for Penn Badgley (Dan) and Blake Lively (Serena)?

"No one is really supposed to know that," laughs a Gossip Girl insider (not to be confused with this website). "I was told by a friend of the family."

Their new relationship has meant Blake Lively, 20, having to disentangle herself from her former boyfriend and Burbank (Calif.) High School classmate, actor and model Kelly Blatz.

But how does Serena's style compare to that of the beautiful actress who plays her, Blake Lively? Last week, we profiled Leighton Meester and her on-screen alter ego, Blair Waldorf. Now let's take a look at the hip Serena and casual Blake in another Gossip Girl fashion comparison ...

Gossip Girl's Serena van der Woodsen and real life alter ego Blake Lively.

What would an "It" girl be without a funky wardrobe? Serena van der Woodsen, who artfully mixes leopard print with green velvet and blue suede ankle boots, is certainly no exception to that fashion rule.

Unlike the boho trend-setter she plays on TV, Blake Lively, 20, often opts for classic with a twist off-screen, donning clothes like these skinny black jeans, crisp white blouse and funky red pumps.
