Blake Lively Says She's not Like Her Gossip Girl Character

The CW's Gossip Girl has put the spotlight on Blake Lively, who plays Serene van der Woodsen in the series, but the young actress is quick to point out the differences between her and the character that she plays.

"Serena was brought up very differently than I was brought up," Lively said in an interview with the Associated Press. "Serena was given everything her whole life. ... I grew up in a small little town in California -- Burbank . I went to high school [and] what we would do on our nights off [was] go to a school fundraiser, go to a football game, where these people have masquerade balls or go lounge at The Palace Hotel and sip martinis."

However, she did also recognize that she and Serena had some commonalities when it came to dealing with fame and popularity. In fact, she said that both of them try their best to be a "good person" despite the pressures of being in the spotlight.

"At the heart of it all, Serena really wants to be a good person -- despite all odds, despite all the chaos that's going on around her and all the other people in her life," Blake Lively explained. "So I think that I strive to do the right thing and not fall into the norm [like] so many young people in Hollywood who -- because they were raised differently -- get caught up in some of the nonsense. And I really try to steer clear of that. So, you know, we're like that in the same way."

Add to that the fact that they "both giggle a lot" and look alike. Due to the recent success of the show, Lively felt an increase in the way people recognize her on the street, as now, people of all walks and ages seem to see her as the Serena from Gossip Girl.

"It's pretty crazy. [I get recognized] not only [as] Serena van der Woodsen, but people know my own name," Lively told the Associated Press. "[Everyone] from young girls, teenage girls, women in their 30s and 40s to, like, Guido-type guys, like frat boys. One day these, like, thuggish guys were, like, coming out, rolling out of their Escalade and they go -- they're like, ‘Man, that's gossip girl!' And they were, like, freaking out. It was so strange how many people would just get giddy over it. And it's people that you would not expect at all."

which club or lounge in las vegas do you recommend?

i am a 25 yr old girl taking my boyfriend to las vegas for labor day weekend in order to celebrate his birthday?? i've never been to the strip before and would love any recommendations of where we can go saturday night after dinner to get drinks, dance and night life. Live music would be ideal, but DJ's would be ok too. i just want someplace that i can surprise him and have a great time.

moon might be nice for you guys, its an awesome club with some hot music for dancing and such. Whats also cool about moon is its located on the top floor of the palms fantasy tower and has a retractable roof. The lights of vegas look amazing from above. its something you have to do at least once in your life. You'll love it!
