Subject: [gossipgirl_tv_show] Blake Lively: I've "Never Had a Competitive
Relationship" With Leighton
They may feud on their CW hit Gossip Girl, but off-screen there is no
drama between Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.
"I've never really had a competitive relationship in any work
situation," she says in the December issue of W. "The media is always
trying to pit us against each other, I guess because it's just not
interesting to say, 'Everyone gets along; everybody just works 18-hour
days and goes home to sleep.' That's not fun to read, I guess."

Besides, she says, the cast is too busy to bicker.
She says they must chew through a 55-page script every eight days.
"You get used to it. I can read a four-page scene once and have it
memorized," she says. "It's a skill you learn in school: disposable
cramming. We're flying by the seat of our pants a lot of times, which
is why I enjoy doing films. It's a change of pace. It sounds cheesy,
but with a film, you get to let each scene marinate."
The perks of working so hard?
"I probably have, like, 60 gorgeous bags," she gushes. "I have a closet
with my really sharp, fancy, nice ones — the ones that go with my
Valentino pumps, for example. And then I have a closet with the ones
that are a little more rugged-feeling, the kind that go with my
Belstaff motorcycle boots."

Lively says she is slowly transitioning to the big screen.
"I've been learning as I'm going along," she says. "I thought, 'Okay,
I'll try a movie. And I was loving films, so I thought, 'No, I don't
want to try TV.
"But now I'm loving being on the show more than I ever could have
imagined," she says. "It has been just the most amazing experience
anybody could ever ask for. It's such a blessing."
She shed serious pounds to play a bulimic beauty queen in the upcoming
indie Elvis and Annabelle.
"Beauty queens are still very toned. So I lost weight, but I got
toned," says the actress, who says food is "the No. 1 love of my life."
How did she shed those pounds?
"I just made chicken breasts from Whole Foods on a George Foreman
Grill, with asparagus and broccoli."
