Tell the voting people: Badgley sent you

Are the kids from Gossip Girl even old enough to vote in this election? And isn't one of them British? Yes, these two GG actors in this commercial are 22 (Penn Badgley) and 21 (Blake Lively) so technically they can vote, but the question remains: who is this commercial marketed to?

While it's important for teens to learn about politics early, but this is a wink-wink commercial for adults, and not really a P.S.A. on how doing illegal drugs or underage drinking are activities comparable to voting Republican. So, theoretically, this is an ad campaign launched at adults who know the ironic format of traditional public service announcements but also watch Gossip Girl?

MoveOn.org's really got to stop catering to the blogging community in this campaign.

'Gossip Girl frenemies Leighton Meester and Blake Lively have closed a deal to guest-star in a November sweeps episode of NBC's increasingly stunt-happy 30 Rock, sources confirm to me exclusively. The dynamic duo will play — prepare to laugh 'till you piddle — former high school classmates of Liz Lemon's in a flashback sequence that reveals a shocking and deeply ironic truth about Tina Fey's morally superior alter ego: She was a Mean Girl!'

Sitting for a satellite interview with KTLA, America Ferrera and Blake Lively veered away from discussing their movie together, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 — which neither wanted to film, but, hey, contracts — so the Gossip Girl star could answer some questions about her television show. Ms. Ferrera was not asked about Ugly Betty, and this made her upset. [Mollygood]

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper told Gossip Girl Blake Lively she “smells good,” while co-hosting Regis & Kelly today. He sort of looked like he wanted to touch her hair, but then managed to restrain himself to have some girl talk about shoes, diamonds, Willy Wonka and other such things.

It's hard being pretty, famous

Ann Shoket is not on the good side of Gossip Girl Blake Lively. The blonde starlet — tragically seen in the sequel to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants — pops up on Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan this month, but her cover role on Shoket's Seventeen has her pissed. Even her rep says she's not happy about it!

Except, well, this isn't the worst cover we've ever seen Lively on. In fact, we have three candidates that are at least equally terrible.
