Leighton Meester

Blair-profile_large

Another Gossip Girl beauty is the gorgeous Leighton Meester.  Leighton plays the sassy character Blair in the TV series and although the on screen character in my opinion isn't quite like the Blair in the books I think she does a brilliant job at making Blair be endearing, vulnerable and a bitch at the same time. 

I'm very jealous of her on screen boyfriend Chuck, played by the absolutely divine Ed Westwick.

Don't you just wish you could be more like her?! 
Remember Gossip Girl Series 4 comes out on DVD very soon! I cannot wait :)

The Olsen Twins


Growing up I had an obsession with the Olsen Twins.  An actual obsession.  I used to love them.  I can't remember how I first came across them, I think it was Two of a Kind episodes on Nickelodeon.  I used to spend all my pocket money on anything Mary-Kate and Ashley.  I had the books, the DVDs, the dolls, the shampoo, the make up, the calender, you name it I had it.  

I always said that if I was to ever go on Mastermind my topic would be the Olsen twins.  I knew everything there was to know about them and I always took pride in being able to tell the difference between them.  (Geek!)

 I was really upset when I heard that Mary-Kate was diagnosed with anorexia in 2004 and it made me realise just how tough being a child celebrity must be.  Now that they have grown up, they have gone in different directions in their lives.  Mary Kate is still pursuing her acting career but Ashley is much more focussed on fashion and their fashion brand The Row. 

Here are some great photos of them!

Blake Lively

Tumblr_loefbxnhdb1r014h8o1_500_large

I think Blake Lively is one of the most beautiful women in the world.  She is stunning and looks great in anything that she wears.  It's no wonder that she is the fashion world's lady of the moment and Karl Lagerfield's top choice for the face of Chanel's most coveted handbags. 

I love watching Blake in Gossip Girl, I think she is the perfect Serena. I grew up reading the Gossip Girl books and I was in my element when they decided to make a TV series about it. Wouldn't you just love to have access to the Gossip Girl wardrobe?!  I know I would.

Not long ago, Blake was the victim of a 'nude' photo scandal and if you have seen the pictures you can see that they don't look real.  I for one don't believe that she took the pictures and I think whoever did it needs to get a life. 

You can catch Blake in her latest movie The Green Lantern with hottie Ryan Reynolds and Gossip Girl Series 4  is available to buy on DVD in the UK from the 15th of August.  It's already on my birthday wishlist.

Julia Roberts

One of the first ever 'grown up' films my mum let me watch when I was younger was Pretty Woman.  It has since become one of my favourite films.  On screen Julia Roberts is beautiful. In every role she takes on she looks stunning, and I think her best feature has to be her smile.  Here are some of my favourite pictures of her.

I just think she is amazing.

My favourite films with her are Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich, Mona Lisa Smile, Notting Hill, Stepmom, and Mystic Pizza.
