At a Gossip Girl party in the Hamptons this weekend.

They take their dogs to work!

Or is that just me?

Here’s Blake Lively, wandering around the set of Gossip Girl in Manhattan with her three-year-old Malti-Poo, Penny.

“I bring her with me everywhere,” Blake said in a recent interview. “It’s nice to have another heartbeat. She’s a little piece of home.”

I totally get it. Leo comes everywhere with me, too. Even to the office. Where he wanders around, barks, eats, and occasionally pees in places he shouldn’t. It’s fantastic. When I’m feeling lonely or stressed, I just put my fingers on his little chest and feel his heartbeat and it calms me down. I do that when I can’t sleep, too. My cat Josie sleeps on my left side, and Leo sleeps on my right. But Josie is so fat that I couldn’t feel her heartbeat even if I put my hand on her chest, so I don’t even bother. But it’s so calming to have someone to sleep with, even if they’re not exactly who I hoped I’d be sleeping with at this age.

Who wants to see a piece of what Penn Badgley’s getting?

The very first (of hopefully many!) Blake Lively nip-slips can be found here.

It’s NSFW. Because it’s a boobie. But you knew that.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure either.

And neither is Blake’s camp.

Her reps are reportedly annoyed with Seventeen magazine for this photo (above) that they used of Blake on her new cover for the rag.

Note that Blake is on the cover of THREE magazines this month.

“Her Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan covers are great, but her camp is not thrilled about her Seventeen cover,” said one source. “Her rep felt the Seventeen photo looked nothing like Blake.” Lively’s rep confirmed she was not “over the moon” with Seventeen and called the magazine about it but claimed her client wasn’t behind the call - “Blake hasn’t even seen the shots yet,” said the rep.

Gosh, you guys, remember when Blake Lively was my Little Girl Crush Who Could?

She belongs to the world now.

So sad.

There are like 1000 pictures of this girl on every photo service like every day now.

They used to be precious gems.

Dude, she was my C-lister for so long, and now she belongs to the world.

It’s so sad.

And I really want to start obsessing on Taylor Momsen, but she’s only 14, so I have to hold back on that one. Plus the world would just cruelly steal her away from me anyway.

Here’s Blake on the set of her stupid hit show that everyone watches and now everyone knows about her.

I knew no one could be that beautiful naturally. I feel so much better about myself now.

What a difference a nose job makes!

Radar tracked down some before and after shots of Blake Lively, from Gossip Girl.

Yeah, homegirl totally had a nose job.

Either these kids are the ultimate example of life imitating art, or the publicists over at Gossip Girl are working overtime. On the heels of multiple reports that Leighton Meester is dating Chace Crawford, we get this:

Word on the street is that Blake Lively is dating her on-screen love, Penn Badgley, in real life.

“No one is really supposed to know that,” laughs an insider. “I was told by a friend of the family.”

This story’s a bit circumspect, firstly because everyone knows that Blake Lively belongs to me, and also because she’s reportedly still on-and-off dating her Burbank High School classmate, actor/model Kelly Blatz.

Hm.

This story was definitely planted by someone. The question is just whose someone? Gossip Girl’s producers? Blake? Penn? Or Kelly Blatz?

I just don’t know, you guys. I just don’t know. Life is full of so many unanswerable questions.

“People know my own name,” she says in an interview with the AP, “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.”

To check out the rest of the interview — including how she somehow defines Burbank as a “small town” — jump in.
