Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but gorgeous Gossip Girl cast member Blake Lively is apparently nothing like her character on Gossip Girl! Crazy! Primary case in point: Blake does not party or get around. The 24-year-old actress tells Marie Claire that “People like to draw parallels between my life and the scandalous stories on Gossip Girl .” “I do dress similarly to 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.” Those four guys would be Ryan Reynolds, Leonardo DiCaprio, Penn Badgley and … the guy before Penn Badgley. Lucky fellas! On preparing for her Savages role, Blake told the magazine, “I went to the gun range and learned how to shoot a gun for the first time.” “It was awful. I asked myself, ‘Why were these things ever invented? But I did feel good that my first three shots were straight to the heart. It’s good to know – don’t mess with me in a gun battle.” The leggy blonde says she doesn’t have a stylist “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.”
