Blake Lively Opens Up About Love Life, Dreams in New 'Elle'

Celebs at the Elle Style Awards 3 Blake Lively poses for photographs on the red carpet of the Elle Style Awards, Grand Connaught Rooms in London. (Pacific Coast News) Blake Lively (Pacific Coast News) As the enviable Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl, Blake Lively has been with more than her share of hot guys. In real life, however, the beautiful blonde is a little more discriminating.

Blake opened up about her sex life in a new interview appearing in the March 2012 issue of Elle, revealing she's been with only four men. "I've never been with anyone that's not a boyfriend. If I spend time with a man, it's because there's somebody that I know well who has been a friend for a while."

That's not all the young star had on her mind. She also dished on her close relationship with French shoe designer Christian Louboutin, and her desire to have children.

Being a fashionista, it's understandable Lively dreams of having "a few girls one day." Her back-up plan may surprise you though: "If not girls, they better be trannies," she says. "Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated."

Primetime Fashion: Bachelor Recap Episode Five




Fresh off a recent viewing of Moneyball, we at StyleBistro could barely contain our excitement
when it became apparent that this week’s episode of the Bachelor was baseball-themed. But where the Brad Pitt vehicle regales the merits of prizing stats over gut feel and folklore, Ben’s group date made a case for good old fashioned hot pants, prompting the usually PG-rated Kasey B to cry out “Bitches!” in exasperation, positing Blakely in the role of unforgiving coach (“I busted my ass out there because I thought you guys wanted it just as bad!”) and resulting in the flame-haired beauty Jennifer taking on the role of rookie who let the big game slip through her fingers... and then gets cut. “I guess I just wonder what I did wrong,” she tearfully wondered aloud as her limo drove away at the episode’s end. Oh honey, you struck out. And nice as Ben may be, he doesn’t suffer losers. 

This may or may not be why Courtney keeps insisting, “I think I’m winning.” Regardless, it seems like as good a time as any for a quick break to review The Model’s soundbytes in a new sub-feature we’re calling #ShitCourtneySays. Here, a few highlights:

“Who knew strippers could play baseball?” (in reference to VIP Cocktail Waitress Blakely).
“I hope I’m a sight for sore eyes, because after his date with Elyse his eyes are probably pretty sore.”
“It did cross my mind: I may not be seeing [Elyse] later. I hope I got her number—I could use a personal trainer.”
“I don’t know if he’s ever skinny-dipped with a model before.”

And, we’re back. The fifth episode also had the distinction of being the most fashion-challenged installment yet—from Ben’s cringeworthy self-proclaimed “Latin Swagger” ensemble (a white linen horror show modeled on his one-on-one date with Nicki) to Jaime’s Miss America-worthy rose ceremony gown, a pink sequined concoction the likes of which we haven’t seen since the Saved By the Bell prom.

And there was more where that came from: Besides the fact that Elyse nailed every man
repelling trick in the book (reminding Ben that not only did she quit her job and bail on her best friend’s wedding to stalk him on TV, but also promptly suggesting they get married on the spot), she also opted to wear a low-rent one-shouldered mini in a shade to match her perma-tan. And paired it with orange fingernails, lest you doubt her commitment to taking things in a tangerine direction. Ben could hardly be blamed for suggesting, “I have an idea—I think we should jump off the side of this massive boat … it’s a long way to the bottom.”

Meanwhile, at the post-game beach party, Kasey B. won the evening’s rose, but had the unfortunate distinction of being worst dressed, clad in a peach and white knit 80s-style sweater dress resembling a fisherman’s net, thrown over a ribbed white tank and topped off with a starfish ring. It was Pretty in Pink meets Little Mermaid. And not in a good way.

Needless to say there was not a lot of competition for Best Dressed. In the end it was repeated sartorial high-scorer Casey S. who emerged the frontrunner for her rose ceremony look, wearing a chic peach minidress with a pleated and structured bodice, accessorized with a gold chain belt and a beach wave ’do.

Best Undressed obviously went to skinny-dipping pusher Courtney for her bathrobe and
“innocent” white lacy underpinnings costume, accessorized with a bottle of massage lotion and red wine. The vibe was very Demi Moore in Disclosure and about as subtle as an anvil to the face.

Still, we can tolerate almost anything so long as we don't have to listen to David Gray’s “This Year’s Love” again. Really Bachelor producers? Every episode? The man has surely purchased a house made of denim on the royalties alone at this point.

Actress Charlize Theron

No surprise—Charlize Theron opted for Christian Dior at the 2012 Golden Globes. The Dior spokeswoman channeled the 20s in a nude gown with a high-low hem. The Young Adult actress paired the daring look with a loose side 'do, accessorized with an embellished headband.

Actress Emma Stone

Emma Stone stole the show in a surprisingly sexy burgundy Lanvin gown with an eagle-embellished belt. A fiery updo and smoky eyes were the perfect finishing touches to this haute look.

Actress Evan Rachel Wood

Mildred Pierce star Evan Rachel Wood had jaws dropping over this intensely dramatic Gucci gown. The sheer paillette-encrusted frock featured a sheer halter neckline and feathered hem. The actress accessorized with a gold cuff and what's rumored to be her new engagement ring, courtesy of beau Jamie Bell.

Actress Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman made a grand return to the red carpet in a vibrant magenta gown by Lanvin. Portman played it simple with her accessories, allowing the focus to fall on her gown's masterful draping.

Actress Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba channeled feminine elegance at the 2012 Golden Globes. The stylish starlet was the picture of perfection in a beaded lavender gown that showed off her post-baby figure. Diamond baubles topped off this haute ensemble.

Actress Michelle Williams

My Week With Marilyn star Michelle Williams tends to favor ladylike silhouettes, which is why this deep blue Jason Wu gown was a natural choice. The luxe velvet fabric had a bit of shimmer to it, which Michelle played up with a jeweled hairband.

Actress Lea Michele

Lea Michele turned on the shine in a silver gown with a daring peek-a-boo bodice and a sequined skirt. The queen of the red carpet pose accessorized the look with a bold green cocktail ring and dramatic smoky eye makeup.

Actress Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara tapped into her bombshell image for the 2012 Golden Globes, showing off her figure in a textured mermaid gown by Vera Wang. She paired the navy blue gown with sleek and straight tresses and plenty of diamonds.
