Blake Lively's Hair Is the New "Rachel." Huh?!
Jim Spellman/Getty Images, Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images
Everyone wants Blake Lively's hair. The New York Times is saying it's the new Rachel or Farrah. (Kate Gosselin would probably beg to disagree.)
The NYT then spends a whole article discussing the Gossip Girl star's hair and includes all kinds of weird quotes like, "It's aspirational hair. [Clients] don't just want the hair, they want the life." Or "the look only works for tall, slim women" and "kind of transcends" age.
It's a lot of analysis for a hairstyle, and we gotta say, most of the time we see Blake out she's actually rocking the unbrushed, messy look (as seen above, right). Even when it's all nice with a fresh blowout, it doesn't look that iconic. Not even close to Rachel status.
What do you think? Are you going to request The Blake on your next salon visit?

Fashion Face-Off: Katy Perry vs. Blake Lively

You wouldn't think Katy Perry and Blake Lively would have similar styles, but go figure: Both babes recently donned versions of the same lacy, floral print dress.
Blake wore it first, to the NYC premiere of Where the Wild Things Are. Perhaps taking the movie's title a bit too literally, she settled on a feathered version of the frock.
The Gossip Girl star showed lots of leg and left her blond locks loose and wavy to complete the look.
Katy, however, chose a long, elegant version for her hosting duties at the MTV Europe Awards last night...
Blake Lively Goes Brunette for a Night...You Like?

Spotted: Blake Lively, rocking a brunette bob at Svedka's Halloween soiree.
The Gossip girl hit 1Oak in a flight attendant costume with short brown hair and bangs. But her lovely long blond locks aren't gone forever. She was just wearing a wig for the costume party.
To be honest, we don't love this look on her. We like our Blake blonde! But some stars definitely look better with brown hair. Click through our Blonde or Brunette gallery and vote on which hue you prefer.

Believe it or not, prime-time starlets have hearts, too! Well, some of 'em do, anyway. One of these TV hotties doesn't always think about herself—she manages to cram in some karma for the sake of helping others, how sweet!

Which up-and-coming TV star got a little tired of all her admirers? While at the HBO Emmys afterparty, this gorgeous diva-in-training was so over people asking for pictures with her, clearly not enjoying all that comes with her actress territory.
Think you know which gal needs to be a tad more grateful?

Fashion Face-Off: Angelina Jolie vs. Blake Lively

Today's Fashion Face-Off is actually kinda hard. We have one Michael Kors dress worn two different ways, on a superstar and a Gossip Girl.
First, there's Angelina Jolie in a black leather version of the strapless dress at last night's Inglourious Basterds premiere. Yes, she does this sort of thing a lot, but that's because she always looks awesome in it. She doesn't even need to do anything with her hair or makeup to look so awesome.
And then there's Blake Lively, who blew us away with the same dress in neon pink at the CFDAs...

Gossip Girl Father Fodder: Who Should Play Papa van der Woodsen?

When last we saw our favorite Upper East Siders on Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen was heading to Fiji to find her dear old dad.
The mystery man who fathered the blond bombshell and her brother, Eric, has never really been mentioned—only as an aside in tales of their mom's various husbands and escapades—but it seems likely that he might finally become a living, breathing presence on the show next year.
So with all the other exciting casting announcements this week (Hilary Duff, Joanna Garcia), we got to wondering who might score the paternal part. We exclusively chatted up the van der Woodsen kids themselves, Blake Lively and Connor Paolo, and you'll never guess who they think should fill their papa's shoes...
Rise 'n' Shine: Mel Gibson's Girlfriend Sings Her "Name"
• In case you thought Mel Gibson's girlfriend's claim at being a musician was just a line, Oksana Grigorieva has released two tracks and a music video for "Say My Name" on her website. We think her piano playing is lovely, if nothing else. What do you think? Is the mother-to-be a brave heart for putting this out there, or should she be a patriot and keep it to herself?
• Cristiano Ronaldo, that soccer player who supposedly hooked up with Paris Hilton the day after she dumped Doug Reinhardt, said he "had a great time talking to" the celebutante. Ah, euphemisms!
• Blake Lively can summarize her entire life in 41 words. Impressive.
• Francis Ford Coppola is using his wine to sell his new movie. Or he's hoping you'll drink enough of it that you'll see Tetro despite Vincent Gallo.
• Katie Holmes and Ginnifer Goodwin's ex Chris Klein didn't have a secret wedding to a civilian, in case you care.
• Lady Gaga's boobs go boom!
• Dear Shia LaBeouf: Thanks for the explanation. You called your mom sexy in Playboy as a Mother's Day present. Makes sense. Love, Rise 'n' Shine
We're all on pins and needles to see the next chapter in The Reality of Jon & Kate Plus 8 tonight. In the meantime, we're remembering the good ol' days with this gallery.

Rise 'n' Shine: Taylor Swift & T-Pain Tell Thug Story
• You already knew about the Taylor Swift-T-Pain collaboration, but you ain't seen nothin' till you've watched T-Swizzle and T-Pizzle tell their "Thug Story." The country starlet may have swept up a pair of CMT awards last night, but she's really "so gangster you can find [her] baking cookies at night."
• Conan O'Brien and Lauren Conrad teach us an important lesson: babies can, in fact, ricochet.
• Blake Lively's boobs are better than Barbie's. That might be the only physical difference between the two.
• Heidi Pratt asked, "What would Jesus do if posing for Playboy?" and didn't get a response, so Kim Kardashian came to the rescue.
• We hate to say it, but Jason Biggs is, um, living up to his name.
• Dear Readers: Instead of sending you to see Gene Simmons' urinal cakes, here's Penélope Cruz's mug on a mug. Oh. Oops. Love, Rise 'n' Shine
From the looks of the CMT Awards gallery, everyone looked quite lovely last night. Even Luke Wilson.
