The increasingly annoying Blake Lively is gracing the cover of W magazine's December issue to talk about how she's just gosh darn normal. Take, for instance, her closets full of designer handbags:
I probably have, like, 60 gorgeous bags. I have a closet with my really sharp, fancy, nice ones — the ones that go with my Valentino pumps, for example. And then I have a closet with the ones that are a little more rugged-feeling, the kind that go with my Belstaff motorcycle boots.
Ah, yes. We always need more "rugged" handbags to go with our dirty, casual designer motorcycle boots. And we, too, keep them in separate closets. Totally understandable.
Despite the fact that Hills alum Whitney Port scored her own reality TV spin-off, The City, the NYC paparazzi are still unsure as to who exactly this girl is. Behold the WireImage description of Whit at Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party, who is identified as "Guest," while her lesser known co-star, Olivia Palermo, was easily named. This can not bode well for the budding fashionista, especially during a time when both Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt can be picked out of a crowd by most Americans.
Other stars deemed "hot" by the tabloid included the High School Musical kiddos, a few Gossip Girls (and boys), America's Next Top Tranny Model Jaslene, some Ugly Bettys and Patti LaBelle. Sounds a little lukewarm to us.

Oh, the wit! Hoping to harness the awe-inspiring power of Gossip Girl, MoveOn.org today released this ad featuring Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, the telegenic stars of GG.
In the ad, the actors — and some other, nameless young folk — flip the script a bit and urge their parents to not vote for John McCain. "I found this in your room," says Bagdley, while another mop top admonishes, "Just because other people your age are doing it, doesn't make it cool." Wait, wait — isn't that exactly what MoveOn's doing with this ad? Oh well.
When I received my invitation to Gotham magazine's issue release party in honor of cover girl (and Gossip Girl) Leighton Meester, I squealed a bit: I've been addicted to the show since the first episode, and I simply adore Leighton's character, Blair Waldorf. But there's always been something about Meester that seems a bit off, and the party — held at NYC's Marquee — didn't do much to change my perception of her. CONTINUED »
• It's safe to say America Ferrera really hates Blake Lively. [DListed]
• Javier Bardem's mother proudly watched him strip before making it big in Hollywood. Um, OK? [ICYDK]
• Two of our favorite things combined. How did we not know about this earlier? [CityRag]
• Mmmmm, George Clooney. [PS]
• Matthew McConaughey plans to plant baby Levi's placenta in an orchard. In other news, we just vomited. [Yeeeah]
• James Franco should be President: "If you’re ever out of work, make a sign — 'Homeless, Please Help.'" [INO]
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.
See more of the fun, after the jump.
When Miley Cyrus was chosen to host the Teen Choice Awards, which was filmed last night and will air tonight, we're unsure whether or not the producers expected her to hog the spotlight as much as she obviously did. Judging from the pictures, she treated the entire awards show like one of her infamous YouTube videos, including her BFF Mandy in most of her bits and ruining a perfectly good LL Cool J performance.
In other news, Dwight graced the show with his presence, Mariah continued to use a glitter microphone, Arcuhleta's dad still won't go away — and when did Chace Crawford become so good-looking?

Vitaminwater got in on the MLB All-Star Week parties last night and felt the best way to promote the brand was by inviting the classiest of celebrities, which included Aubrey O'Day and the Naked Cowboy. The event also attracted some leftover guests from the Batman premiere who just wanted to be photographed. If that's not getting more people to drink the beverage, we don't know what will.

Last night a dreary and overcast New York City was treated to the premiere of The Dark Knight, which featured a black carpet. The stars of the movie and all the D-listers in attendance followed suit by dressing in the somber hue, except for a select few (Regis, we're looking at you).
Lots of pictures after the jump. CONTINUED »
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 on which we’ve ever seen Lively. In fact, we have three candidates that are at least equally terrible.
• Yeah, this girl is definitely a Lohan. Poor thing. [ICYDK]
• According to foreign stalkers, Angelina Jolie hasn't popped out the twins yet but she is in the hospital preparing for labor. [PS]
• Blake Lively doesn't want to be compared to Paris Hilton: "I don’t go to clubs, I don’t party, I don’t dance on tables and I don’t like sex tapes." We knew we liked her. [INO]
• Speaking of Paris, she says boyfriend Benji Madden won't let her get a tattoo because he thinks she looks "pure" without. So it's safe to say he's officially delusional. [DListed]
• Why you should believe the Madonna rumors. [Jossip]
Isn't it sad/funny/expected but still shocking/gruesome how Hollywood gives expiration dates even to the stars it likes?
And people are mystified when pretty young girls in the spotlight kill themselves.

• Gerard Butler is searching for his "dream girl" who he says disappeared during a date a few years ago. OK, fine. It was me. [ICYDK]
• Rich people have problems, too: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel fight over refrigerator space. [INO]
• Blake Lively's puppy is not above peeing on her owner, now matter how famous she may be. [PS]
• Janet Jackson manages to look both comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. [SH]
• Mario Lopez on Eva Longoria: "We never dated. Unfortunately. We met a long time ago, and she was always with somebody or I was with somebody." Not like that's stopped him before. [DListed]

Tyra Banks and some of her top models attempted to show off how to smile with your eyes at the CW Network 2008 Upfronts last night in NYC. It's safe to say Tyra is still the only one who has mastered that concept, but we applaud Anya (second from right) for making a solid attempt. The rest seem to have just given up hope.

Scarlett Johansson wasted no time in debuting her engagement ring from fiancé Ryan Reynolds at last night's Costume Institute Gala at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pretty much every celebrity you can imagine was in attendance (except for Reynolds), and 95 percent of the wardrobe choices made our heart cry.

What's up with the inappropriate Gossip Girl promotion? Between the steamy OMFG sex scene ads and this stripped-down cover of the latest issue of New York magazine, we have a hard time believing any parents will be happy letting their school-age children watch the show tonight when it comes back from hiatus.
