Her words, not mine! I know how up in arms a lot of people get over the use of the word “tranny,” but this is all Blake Lively here, all right? Blake Lively used the t-word, not me.
But let’s back up a bit here. See, Blake did an interview with Elle, and that’s where she talked about things like how many men she’s slept with, dates, shoes, and, yes, having tranny babies. HER WORDS.
From Elle via Celebitchy:
On her boyfriends: “I’ve had four boyfriends in my whole life,” she tells the mag, adding that she doesn’t sleep around. “I’ve never been with anyone that’s not a boyfriend. I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 17.”
On dating: “I’ve never gone on a date. Maybe I’m too shy,” she says. “If I’ve ever had a man in my life, it’s because I know him well, and he really means something to me. I don’t take that stuff lightly. I’d rather be by myself than be spending any time or energy on somebody that I didn’t feel sure about.”
On her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio: Lively, who next stars in the gritty flick Savages, plays coy about her summertime 2011 romance with DiCaprio, 37, with whom she was first photographed in Europe. The actress tells ELLE she was already living in the south of France for the summer, renting an apartment and enrolling in a month-long French language course. “I was in school every single day!” Lively explains. “I’d get off, and, you know, we’d go on a boat in my harbor in my little village, and there’d be people hiding in a bush. Then people said, ‘There’s photos of you coming out of some hotel.’ I was on a school field trip! And my friend at the time,” she says, without naming DiCaprio, “joined the school field trip, and we were walking down the street.”
On creepy dudes: “I had a few strangers hit on me!” she marvels. “Some guy acted like he liked my hat. Another guy acted like he liked my shoes!” They’re staring at your derrière, saying, ‘Hey, I really like your hat.’ Come on, dude!”
On not being able to dress herself: “When I’m going to an event, I’ll send Christian (Louboutin) a picture of my outfit and say, ‘What shoes do you think I should wear with this?’”
On having children: “I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be trannies. Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated.”
On rumors that she and Ryan Reynolds are moving in together: “Newspapers say a lot of stuff, don’t they? Though I wish I could afford half the places that I hear I’m looking at. Sign me up!”
There are so many things. I think we’ve adequately discussed the tranny bit. What I want to talk about is how the hell Blake is 24 years old and has never been on a date? I get it, first dates are awkward (my first date with the dude who I’m now engaged to was bananas: we went to see a movie, but we didn’t check the times so we ended up having three hours to kill. We drove around for a while and talked, and then we had sushi, which he dropped on his lap. The waitress asked if he needed children’s chopsticks. Then when he took me home, the puppy was so excited to greet us, except she had a bra in her mouth. Bananas), but seriously? Zero dates ever?
I don’t know, I guess I don’t actively dislike Blake Lively, but does anyone have any evidence that she’s at all interesting? Boobs don’t count.
She is a normal person who just got famous with Gossip Girl and trying to manage it. Hope she can take right steps and make right decisions. These years are very fragile in an acting career. “tranny” thing was obviously a joke but still not a proper word to use especially for children…
Most of the people whom I know who are in relationships do not go on dates. Or, those who do were in the relationship for a year or so before any actual dating occurred. I think that, for many people, dating as an adult is antiquated. But dating in middle school is still a thing — I think.
Also, your date sounds so precious. I have no patience for people who cannot handle chopsticks — with the huge exception of people whom I adore. But that entire fiasco of a date sounds so ridiculously charming. And now I am CRAVING sushi.
Interesting that she’s always talking about how she dresses herself and doesn’t have a stylist (to get fashion cred for herself), and now she’s trying to pull the ‘I’m accessible’ card by saying she can’t dress herself/ match her shoes?
