Blake Lively shooting a scene for her upcoming film "Savages"

Starpulse: Are all you Gossip Girl fans ready for tonight's premiere? We are, and in anticipation of the season five premiere we wanted to spotlight one of its most beautiful and talented rising stars Blake Lively. Twenty-four year old actress Blake Lively seems like she has it all- the good looks, the booming career and the hot boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio. Who else is jealous? Born and raised in Los Angeles, Blake’s family was in the entertainment business which meant she was destined to catch the acting bug. Blake has said about her family, “My whole family's been in the business. My whole family is crazy.” Apparently they are crazy talented. Her father Ernie Lively is an actor and director and her mother Elaine is a talent manager. In 2005, Blake landed her first big role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants playing a California teenage soccer star and coincidently, her father was played by her real life father. But it wasn’t until 2007 when she landed the biggest role of her career as Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl. Based on the popular young adult novel series, the show has a cult following with teenagers and adults alike. (We admit that we never miss an episode of Gossip Girl). Playing a young, rich and fashionable New York socialite, Blake gets to work with an amazing cast of actors including ex-boyfriend Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford and Leighton Meester and an incredible team of stylists who make her even more fashion forward than she already naturally is.Read Full: Spotlight: The Beautiful And Talented 'Gossip Girl' Star Blake Lively - Starpulse.com
