Blake Lively covers Marie Claire, talks boyfriends: “I’ve been with very few peopleâ€
Blake Lively covers the July issue of Marie Claire as part of her promotional press tour for Savages. That’s the film she did with Oliver Stone â€" and Blake is really hoping her performance takes her to the next level. I don’t really have an opinion on it, considering I haven’t seen the film and I don’t have a rampant hate-on for Blake. I will say this â€" I was not impressed with her voiceover in the trailer. She sounded bored and vapid. Maybe that’s her character, though. In which case I think Blake might have been typecast. Anyway, here are some highlights from Blake’s Marie Claire interview:
Blake likes a well-dressed man: “It’s definitely attractive when a man can dress well… What I love most is when someone, guy or girl, is effortless and has this old-timey sort of feel [that] you could take a snapshot of them and they could exist in any time period.â€
She loves talking about food: “To be around me, you must love food or I’m the most obnoxious person you’ve ever met. I’m in a big cooking phase. That’s all I’ll talk about.â€
She also loves talking about her Louboutins: “What I planned before I got into the business has changed… Now I’m like, ‘Hmm, I wonder what shoes Christian [Louboutin] is going to make me. And which couture house should I go to?’ â€
She’s her own stylist: “My assistant will call fashion houses for me, but I always pick the outfit, shoes, jewelry, and a lot of times I do my own hair and makeup for events. Sometimes I think, God, why do I do this to myself? It’s so much extra work!â€
Why does she style herself? “Because I love fashion. It’s such an expression of self. I often see people and they look great, but I can identify who styled them. Every stylist has a signature. Maybe it sounds jerky, but I’m lucky to be on such a fashion-centric show [Gossip Girl]. There’s no designer I don’t have access to.â€
She’s holding at “four†boyfriends: “People like to draw parallels between my life and the scandalous stories on Gossip Girl. I dress the same as my character, so they think, She lives this life on and off set. I recently shared how many boyfriends I’ve had [four], and people were like, “That’s impossible!†But it’s true. I’ve been with very few people. If I’m not with somebody who really excites or inspires me, then I’d rather be by myself.â€

Marie Claire’s Nina Garcia also notes that Ryan Reynolds’ dog Baxter makes an appearance during the interview, which is basically yet another confirmation that Ryan and Blake are totally serious about each other. They will get married. Eventually. Blake is waiting to see how Savages does. You think I’m joking â€" the reaction to the film will determine the next steps she takes with Ryan.
As for Blake’s continued insistence that she styles herself… I tend to believe her. I think that’s why she looks “off†on some many red carpets. But I respect that it’s HER vision for how she presents herself and not someone else telling her “You look amazing!†when she clearly doesn’t.

I know- can you imagine the dinner conversation with equally boring Ryan Reynolds? “This white bread, mayonaise and velveeta sandwich, is deliciousâ€

Would love to read an interview where one of these starlets DOESN’T bring up how “very few†men she’s been with. Really, am I supposed to think she’s “decent†because of that? Or bad about myself if I have been with more people than the number she mentions?
Annoying as f*ck, I tell you.

yeah….we don’t need to know how many ppl she has slept with. I just don’t like how she is making it seem like her “number being low†somehow makes her more valuable.

So I was right, this girl is an idiot!

Lucky for her casting couch sessions and Harvey Weinstein don’t count as boyfriends.
Otherwise she’d still probably be counting them.
hm….so who’s the mystery boyfriend?
There was Penn, Leo and Ryan … I’m tempted to start a scavenger hunt.

How is it that they all say how few men they’ve been with? Like they’re all delicate virgins in seedy hollywood?

It’s funny, in the cover photo here she actually does have a striking sort of resemblance to Leo Di Cap. Maybe that’s why he was besotted with her (for a little while). They do say there is something in “mirror†types attracting one another.

She’s not all that exciting, but I can think of other females celebs that (in my opinion) top her in the “dull†department: Zoe Saldana, Julia Styles, and Kristen Stewart to name a few. I like her a bit thouhg, I mean she pulled Leo DeCaprio and then on to Ryan Reynolds, not mad at her at all!

Her VoiceOver in the Savages trailer kills any interest I have for the movie. She is be OK in the role of a California party girl with 2 boyfriends. It’s an easy role. I don’t know why she wants to keep throwing out numbers of men she has ever slept with. No one is going to believe it’s only 4. Just don’t go there in the first place Blake.

looks like the good girl/bad girl, madonna/whore dichotomy is still alive and kicking.
yes blake, we get it. you are a ‘good girl’ and therefore ‘marriage material’.
i think her shot at the big time has passed.

Her body is ridiculous, but her face is so meh. I don’t hate her, I just think she is irrelevant unless she is talking about her love life. That’s all anyone seems to pay much attention to, unless you’re a fan of Gossip Girl.

Isn’t she rumored to have had a few affairs with married dudes…I get that she wants to seem wholesome, but behind-the-scenes people obviously see her another way.

WOW. This exceeded my expectations, really. She’s IS that vapid and dumb and painfully boring. Oh my…
