Say it aint so!! Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley and Blake Lively have ended their 3 year relationship according to US Weekly who says a rep of the pair confirmed they split in September:

“They’re professionals,” “They’re still good friends and hang out on the set.”

The insider stated that even those on the set had no idea the two were dunzo:

“Nobody on set had any idea,” says the insider. “They’re really just private.”

I’ve always liked these two even though I don’t watch Gossip Girl.  I like how they handle themselves in private. They seem quite classy and respectful of one another.  That’s a very cool thing. Michael Lohan should take notes.

Guy Ritchie and his cast of Sherlock Holmes Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams, and Mark Strong attended the New York premiere of the movie which opens Christmas Day. Rachel talked about how it was to squeeze into a corset in the film:

“It was like something out of Gone With The Wind,” Rachel laughed. “I’m there holding on to the trailer door trying to eke out just a little bit of space so I can speak properly.

“Each morning, they tried to make me laugh and on the laugh they’d yank – that’s how they managed to squeeze me in every day. But it was fun to be that authentic. It really dropped me into the period.”

“I wasn’t allowed to take the corset off,” she told Total Film magazine. “I had to rely on yoga exercises. Don’t get me wrong – I’m such a girly girl, I was in heaven being dressed in these incredible costumes!”

I am so grateful I wasn’t born into that era.  I could not handle wearing such tight garments.  Are you a fan of fashion from that era?

Other celebrities attending the premiere:

• Bruce Willis
• Emma Heming
• Blake Lively
• Ashley Greene
• Penn Badgley

• Matthew Settle
• Eva Mendes

Marion Cottilard and Penelope Cruz pose at the New York screening of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and I have to say I did not recognize Marion with her hair shorter and so straight.  Can we talk boots on Ms. Penelope Cruz?? How sexay are those??

Robin Wright Penn, who by the way looks fabulous with darker hair and since she got rid of that excess baggage, has the lead in this movie:

After her much older husband forces a move to a suburban retirement community, Pippa Lee engages in a period of reflection and finds herself heading toward a quiet nervous breakdown

Blake Lively plays the younger Pippa Lee in this movie written, and directed by Rebecca Miller and says of her love scenes with Alan Arkin:

“Well, I think it’s uncomfortable, laying in strategically placed clothes that are taped on your body, in front of some strangers. That’s always uncomfortable,” Lively admitted. She then added, “But, I was with Alan and Rebecca [Miller], and our wonderful D.P., and it was a very private set. We’re all actors, we’re all professionals and we all understood what was happening. Everybody is uncomfortable with those scenes. You’re never going to be comfortable being half-naked in front of anyone. But, it was fine. It was a short scene.“

Speak for yourself, Blake.  Give me a half-naked scene with Kiefer Sutherland and it wouldn’t be me that would be uncomfortable but those on the set watching me and Kiefer with our crazy monkey love moves, he he he.

Attending the screening:

• Julianne Moore
• Keanu Reeves
• Penn Badgley
• Rebecca Miller
• Daniel Day Lewis
• Shannon Elizabeth
• Billy Crudup
• Olivia Palermo
• Andrew McCarthy
• Chace Crawford
• Zoe Kazan

I love me some Sela Ward.  I want to be her when I’m her age.  I loved her on Once and Again and wished I had her TV life (although it was very stressful there was just something to it), but then I would have to explain to my husband who the different guy and new kids are not to mention the crew and cameras.

Taylor Momsen was also at the premiere.  I’m sure she’s nice.  She’s a very young girl, but truth be told she scares me and I don’t scare easily.  I would be afraid of eye contact for fear I burst into flames.

Also at the premiere were:

• Amber Heard
• Penn Badgley
• Ed Westwick
• Dylan Walsh
• Jessica Szohr
• Chace Crawford
• Jon Tenney

Mena Suvari looks incredible in these pics.  The hair, the makeup, the outfit.  I would tackle her and take her shoes, that’s how much I love them.  She’s tiny so I think we could possibly wear the same size!!

The ladies looked lovely at the opening of Tommy Hilfiger’s Fifth Avenue Global Flagship Store opening in New York last night.  I need to get me a designer to be friends with.  Celebs who celebrated the opening:

• Naomi Watts
• Emily Blunt
• Victoria Silvstedt

One thing I learned after perusing the set of pictures for this opening is there are a lot of ‘Hilfigers’ walking the face of the earth.
