I told you so! Sort of. I predicted some parts of this, but not others. To be fair, many people predicted that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were definitely on the marriage path. But I thought that when they did become engaged, everyone would know about the engagement and the wedding would be a big deal, like… the build-up would be huge. But as it turns out, Ryan Reynolds’ dong has magical powers. It can magically turn a once hardcore-famewhore into a demure, 1950s housewife with no desire to famewhore her wedding. MAGIC!
It’s been nearly a year since they were first publicly linked – and now Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are husband and wife. A source confirms to PEOPLE that the couple tied the knot Sunday night at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., just outside of Charleston.
The reception took place in a white tent at the plantation on Sunday evening. Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine), a good friend of the Gossip Girl star, performed three songs live, and there was also a deejay who spun tunes. PEOPLE also confirmed that a cake was being driven down from Virginia for the event.
Lively’s mother and sister were also spotted in town, and a source told PEOPLE that the two had dinner in Charleston with Bette Midler earlier in the weekend.
Reps for the two actors had no comment.
Lively and Reynolds have been in nesting mode since buying a home in Bedford, N.Y., earlier this year. They have subsequently been seen working out together at a local gym, as well as spending quality time with their families in New York and Vancouver, where Reynolds, PEOPLE’s 2010 Sexiest Man Alive, was born.
The two, who costarred together in 2011’s Green Lantern, have stayed relatively mum about their relationship, though Lively, 25, did tell Marie Claire this summer, “It’s definitely attractive when a man can dress well.”
Reynolds, 35, was previously married to Scarlett Johansson. The couple divorced in 2010 after two years of marriage. This is the first marriage for Lively, who previously dated her Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley.
It’s pretty amazing that they were able to get this done without “someone” leaking all of the details weeks in advance. As for the wedding… it sounds really nice. I would love to know the guest list. I would love to know if they’ll sell (or give away) any photos from the event – my guess is no, they won’t. I’ve already gotten some tweets about how they won’t last… seriously? Blake has been working this angle since the beginning – this was her goal all along. This is what she wanted, and she got Ryan Reynolds down the aisle within a YEAR of dumping Leonardo DiCaprio for Ryan. Face it, ladies and gentlemen: this one is going to last. Blake is really, really into it, and as for Ryan… he just loves a blonde with big boobs. He’s happy. I think Blake will probably get pregnant within a year too, you know.

I don’t know if it’s going to last given it is still Hollywood. Something about her still doesn’t resonate with me. I don’t follow her work but I don’t know she doesn’t seem to do more than act and bake. But I hope you’re right, I hope it does last. Ryan seems like a nice person and if she makes him happy- that’s great.
Agree 100%. There’s something not quite right about her. My cynical half feels they won’t last but the occasionally romantic other half of me hopes that they do. BTW, what’s the difference between her and ScarJo?
ScarJo has real tits and (somewhat miraculously) a real career.
So harsh but so true, tapioca!
And ScarJo also has a chubby body full of cellulite, while Blake has a toned, healthy one (yeah, having a chubby body is NOT healthy, no matter how many “real & healthy” comments Scarjo got after those bikini pictures, all coming from women who sympatize with her because have the same type of body).
Scarlett may have cellulite but her face is what sells. Ask men of all ages, Blake or Scarlett and Scarlett wins by a landslide even with Blakes body her face is meh compared to Scarlett.
There is something .. sexy about Scarlett ( not just her lips — ) its a package deal.
But Ryan is only hot from the neck down so I think they are an even match. And Scarlett prefers men who are more intelligent I get the feeling .. no matter their looks. I guess Ryan may not have been enough for her. The body only goes so far in a relationship.
I think Blake and Ryan are evenly matched, and will have a kid or 2 …
@ Meli: LOL I don’t know what your definition of chubby is but Scarlett Johansson is not chubby. Are you mad? Having curves and cellulite does not equal chubby. And being thin does not equal healthy btw. If Blake is to be believed, she doesn’t work out all. That’s not healthy either. But both of them are young and a healthy weight so I’m guessing they are, in fact, quite healthy.
I don’t buy that Blake doesn’t work out btw but if she needs to sell it, fine.
Meli, you might want to get your eyes checked. Last I heard ScarJo was getting $20 million and a spin off movie series because she looked so great in skintight leather in Avengers.
Eh, Meli, did you see the bikini pics of Blake with her family? She’s the one with cellulite, not Scarlett Johansson.
Meli, also you might want to check Blake’s latest pics from that vacay with Ryan. Girl has lumps too. Scarlett is NOT fat.
80to 90% of women have cellulite and stretch marks are often from growing spurts. See my post on Simpson.
Don’t let your inner ass show so much, huh?
My guess is ScarJo works out when she needs to, she stays about the same size but the toned part comes and goes. As long as the jeans zip, right?
I believe Blake doesn’t work out. She has that tall thin body type and is what 25? She will rue the day – she will stay tall and thin but she will look like my trashy apartment manager in a bikini. Her butt droops so much there is a tan line when she bends over. She has a ton of cellulite too that a woman with that body type who works out should not. I mean a TON not like ScarJo.
I don’t know about ScarJo liking more intelligent men. She likes weird creepy men IMHO (Penn, Benicio, this last one). Makes me wonder what we don’t know about Ryan Reynolds.
His first marriage was over after 2 years and he just started dating Blake less than a year ago, that doesn’t sound like good odds the marriage will last. Just sayin’. Pretty sure the pictures will be sold to People or US mag.
In terms of actors with numerous marriages, perhaps Ryan Reynolds will be like Elizabeth Taylor.
Not only weird with her-but its surpising how marriage-happy he is.
Seriously, he’s been engaged three times. It’s all he does.
Agreed. Lainey has a great breakdown about Ryan’s marrying ways on her site today.
Kaiser, you freaking kill me with your writing…”former hardcore fame-whore….MAGIC!”
LMAO. 😀
YAAAAAAAAS BITCH!!!!! I know I am the cheese that stands alone when it comes to Miss B. But I don’t care. How can you not congratulate this brawd??? You go from Leo to Ryan and a ring…THAT BISH LUCKY!!!!
@meli,FWIW. There is a genetic component to cellulite and being thin has nothing to do with having it. I know quite a few chubby women without it and quite a few VERY thin ladies that have it. In fact, in those candids of Blake and Ryan (where she’s wearing that one piece) you can see quite a bit of cellulite on her too.
Mort, guess I should have read your post first. Great minds and all.
Blake has cellulite, who the hell cares? Not Ryan!
Even some of the amazing bodies in Cirque have a few lumps and they are the fittest peeps ever. Our rings girls just won the world fitness crown for 2011 and even she has a couple dimples.
So there!
@tiff, exactly! We, as women, are harder on ourselves and eachother than men are on us. I doubt he noticed anything wrong with scarlet or Blake.
Agree 100%. You can’t work out cellulite at the gym, no matter how hard you try. And, DAMN, are we ever hard on ourselves!
Ummm….are we positive Ms. Meli wasn’t just a wandering troll? That was almost TOO nasty for a regular poster 🙁
Agreed. Even though I don;t like ScarJo much, I do like her better than Blake.
+1
OH MY GOD! I didnt think they were that serious. If she really is a famewhore like you say Ryan is a downgrade from Leo
I think she realized pretty quickly that Leo would never marry her or get serious about her, so she dumped him and went with “the marrying kind”.
I thought she had been attracted to Ryan since their Green Lantern days, and when he became single, saw her opportunity and grabbed it, Leo be damned. I didn’t think it was lurve with Leo at all, hence the speedy dump/ego deflation.
Could her long game have been about Ryan all along? And Anyways That Pasty Modelizer that cant be seen with you and isnt particularly nice at the “meet te parents” thing is not exactly a prize… A millionaire? Sure but a Prize?
I agree with QQ %100.
Ryan a DOWNGRADE from Leo???!! I must disagree – I much prefer Hamsterface to Moonface 😛 😀 xx
+1
Hamster face – LOL – It’s got to be those little close-set rodent eyes of his.
You took the words right off my keyboard!
Plus, I don’t think she’s all that gorgeous…hamster face is a decent catch for Boobs, I mean Blake.
And his bod V. Leo’s? Leo is like the stay puft marshmallow man. Ewww.
I agree Tiff, Leo has a soft dough body compared to Ryan’s hard muscley bod. Although I do think Blake Lively has a smokin’ body, real or not haha.
P.S. Does anyone remember when Ryan Reynold’s was engaged to Alanis Morrisette???!!! So to say he only likes blondes with big boobs is only partially true. I’ve always considered Alanis Morrissette a quirky intelligent brunette. It was totally interesting how his next two women were blondes with big boobs. I wonder what went wrong with him and AM? Maybe she realized what a huge tool he can be…
He is talking from a “fame” point of view. Dicaprio is a million times more famous worldwide than Reynolds.
@Max
I agree. I’m from Spain and I assure you most people don’t know who he is. I mean, they would recognize his face but is you said “Who is Ryan Reynolds” a lot of people could not answer.
On the other hand, everybody knows Leo.
yes, plus Leo is an actual dramatic actor who scores A list roles, not a superhero character…
On what planet is Ryan a downgrade from Leo?
Leo is a bloated pufferfish .
Also, it’s that really that girl’s face? Because that certainly not her hair color.
Ryan is definitely a talent downgrade from Leo. Also a distance between eyes downgrade. In every other way though, Ryan is an upgrade!
Blake is pretty and has nice legs, but nothing special in my eyes. She talks about it too much, but I do like that she likes to cook so much–a woman after my own heart. I wish them all the best though!
@moneypenny- “Also a distance between eyes downgrade.”
Oh my god. I’m dead.
i still think Dicaprio and Lively were friends with benefits and that she just waited Reynolds
Leo is a much better actor and has more $$ but his face is busted, his body is meh and he just seems like he would be condescending all the time even when talking about the weather kwim?
Ryan seems simple, laid back for real… and God knows what Leo had disease wise from his whoring. He’s just gross..
I got the feeling that the Leo Incident left such a bad taste in her mouth that she quit famewhoring full time.
Which makes me ask – what does she do now?
She’s quite possibly the first person I’ve ever been jealous of; and that’s pretty hard to do.
Congrats! Lucky bitch.
Congrats!
P.s. Blake should write a dating manual. I would buy that
Allegedly, Blake follows The Rules.
If she does, she’s now their new poster girl. *Scurries off to re-read it*
I’m embarrassed to ask this, but what is/are The Rules? Is it a book or something?
@ Tiffany – it’s essentially a guide on how to keep a man on his toes…make it hard for him to keep him attracted..”Dont ask him out…dont live with him unless engaged w a wedding date,etc.” Actually pretty solid advice, IMHO.
lol, don’t be embarrassed tiffany, I have no idea either
Interesting. Thanks everyone. Now my interest is piqued and I need to go take a look.
paging Jennifer Love Hewitt…
I never heard of this book before.
How can one follow “The Rules” with Leo?
These are “The Rules” for younger readers.
http://www.therulesbook.com/
There are two problems with “The Rules” 1. You have to keep it up AFTER you get married. Oh goodness, no!
2. The writers got divorced.
@Tiffany27
Yep, The Rules is a dating/advice book. There’s a whole website for it: therulesbook.com
I glanced at The Rules when it first came out when I was in college – and was a big joke among my more feminist-leaning social circle. The advice itself isn’t terrible (though the goal of manipulating a man into marriage is pretty questionable) – except that it’s basically teaching you to *pretend* you’re an independent woman with high self-esteem, with the assumption the reader is a needy woman with low self-esteem. So, basically, the book is unnecessary if you happen to actually be a self-confident woman with your own sense of identity.
Oops, sorry Christie. I was just jumping into this thread. I didn’t meant to respond to you, specifically.
@bettyrose
basically your description of the book describes Blake-
‘the goal of manipulating a man into marriage is pretty questionable) – except that it’s basically teaching you to *pretend* you’re an independent woman with high self-esteem, with the assumption the reader is a needy woman with low self-esteem. ‘
I am married because of the Rules! And found out later that my next door neighbour used them as well for her now husband, haha. The book helps create borders for those who have a hard time sticking to them on their own. AND, it weeds out the guys only interested in one thing, even if their conversation says otherwise . . . Also look at starmatch dot com, they have a compatibility report (free if you are a member, and I think for women it is free) that gives you a rating for love or friendship or business, and it is SPOT ON. By the way, to find the Rules books you may need to check them out from a library, hard to find in print – but I am currently living outside of the US, so that may have something to do with it, LOL
Rainstarr, I have done that site with me and hubby and it is eerie. Fits to a T.
@ Belly – I too will scurry off to re-read the Rules.
Again I must tip my hat to Ms. Lively and her extraordinary sense of hustle. Never before has a blond with big boobs gone so far on so little :). I’ve said it before on this site, she may not be the best actor and she may be just falling back on her fab body, etc. – but girl has the type of hustle that would leave most of us in the dust.
To use one of Tim Tebow’s favorite quotes, “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”. I bow to the mistress of hustle!
Never has a blond with big boobs gone so far on so little?
That clearly isn’t true. Unless your memory only extends back three years.
@ailine, “Never has a blond with big boobs gone so far on so little?
That clearly isn’t true. Unless your memory only extends back three years.”
So true! Anna Nicole Smith would certainly beg to differ (if she were still around)!
Ahem. Not only Anna Nicole (born Vickie Lynn Hogan), but also Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy. Bleached blondes with bolt-ons have done pretty well in El Lay.
Me too. It sounds good.
I’m not saying it hasn’t been done before (Anna Nicole, etc.) but I think Blake is “1st in show” in a crowded field of competitors. Blake landed Ryan Reynolds – Pamela Anderson landed Tommy Lee (twice). Anna Nicole (RIP) landed an 80 year old millionaire but couldn’t make his ill (and her $$$$$ inheritance) stick in court. A lot of blonds are doing it, but Blake is doing it better iMHO. And I don’t even like her as an actor.
Don’t discredit a fame whore- once one always one. I would put money on it that we will see pictures very soon in People Magazine , since they were the first ones to break it last night. And I’m sure they will be getting a pretty penny for them since it was such a surprise. It’s not in Blake’s nature to be quiet , but money does talk. I bet this was Planned out for a while.
since they’re together,i think she’s pretty quiet
Magical dong…
Hee hee!
I love these two! I wish them the best!
I think they look great, and I’m giving the some slack when it comes to divorce-betting….give them a break; they just got married. Happiness to them, and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll take him and make a man out of him.
I wish them the best too! Some people are acting like getting married is a prize you win. Like she doesn’t deserve Ryan as the ultimate prize. This is not the 1800s!
I like them as a couple too. They’ll def have gorgeous babies!
Good for them!! But let’s face it. 97 percent of hollywood marriages don’t last.
And the announcement about their divorce will be in 3… 2…
Yup. I’ll be surprised if they reach 5 years. It’s freakin’ Hollywood, where one’s career takes top priority over relationships and where temptation (from coworkers and starf*ckers) is omnipresent.
Congratulations to them both! I’m not really surprised it was quiet, based on his history. Good for them.
I’m an SC girl and Mt. Pleasant/Charleston is beautiful. I have always found Blake insufferable but I have to admit, I’m impressed they went so low key with the wedding. Maybe I’ve been wrong about her. Hope it lasts!
meh, good for them..
I never paid attention to her age but how is she only 25?! She could easily pass for 35.
She’s been lying about her age, it’s been rumoured for some time. Either she’s the oldest-looking 25-year-old ever or she’s closer to 35. I’m thinking she’s really in her mid-30s and her lie will be exposed soon enough.
I really don’t see how she could lie about her age. Her older sister and one or both of her parents are/were somewhat well known actors – Teen Witch, Twin Peaks. Blake has been on the public radar since she was very young.
Keep Waiting……………
She was the youngest in Sisters of the Travelling Pants
And her HS yearbook shows the facts tally.
But the tinfoil hat brigaide will not be interrupted!
She does look old for her age….Ryan and her look like they’re the same age.
And wow, she was the youngest in sisterhood? She looked the oldest.
Alexis Bledel looks younger than her and she is 30.
That’s one of the side effects of her (admittedly well done) plastic surgery. She looks “better” and more in proportion aesthetically now, but the refinements have aged her – if you google her “before” pics she easily looks the age she claims she was then.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it was true. I’m the same age as her, but I still have a bit of the “baby fat” in my face. She looks about 10 years older than me.
Awww Ryan Lochte is gonna be crushed. Anyway congrats to them. She has made herself out to be way more domestic than ScarJo which he seems to like. I think they might last longer than a lot of folks think.
Mr.Magical Dong and Miss.Once Chanel are item. Modern couple looking great!!Congrats
Blake has a man face.
Ryan is prettier than her.
yeah i’m jealous. he’s HOT! ! Damn..
Congratulations….hope it lasts!
Woohoo! They got married in my town-literally across a couple of fields and tidal creeks! If I had known about the wedding, I would have ditched our RedZone party to stalk like a dork!
This will last. They’re both into eachother. He has a lot of female friends which says a lot about his character, he’s a good guy. He doesn’t mind settling down, he’s hot, funny. Neither of them is a brain trust, so they are pretty perfect for eachother, they love fashion and home life.
May they be very happy and have children with her eyes and his nose.
“…his nose”
Good one 😉
WAIT: Blake was seen working out? Does this mean she drank champagne at her wedding too? The horror!
Oh my god, girls, you all are cracking me up!
So it went down like this: she worked out, ate no cup-cakes and drank champagne! Wowza!
Wow, Ryan seems to get married fast when he’s serious with a girl. I thought after Scarlett he would be more cautious. Congrats 4 them both!
Beautiful couple but i don’t think will last because they are still young and actors who easily get divorced in Hollywood
WOW The People from a CDAN gross hook up during their movie Item Go to This?!?!?
For what is worth she must have turned it around for him and viceversa cause alledgely he was like “sure we’ll hook up again, if there is time” and although she is a BIG ASS Famewhore SHE has toned it down and YET still, This is a guy that was photographed all of 3 times with Johanssen so he too have to have consented to these leaks on some level
QQ, that’s interesting! What did the whole blind say? That they hooked up on the Green Lantern and it was just sex for Ryan Reynolds?
Thathe was all puppy eyed and of course he was married then but that tey hooked up on set and basically she put it out tere she wanted more but he was pretty douchy sorta and just said “Sure, if we meet again” (during photocalls and that sort of thing) he revealed it so it wasnt like a BI, but also made allusion to it this am, Lainey has implied as much saying that She was circling and waiting since way back when and she waited around, but sort to said Scarlett was/is so gross to other women, an innapropriate with men, even the taken omes that she sorta didnt feel bad about the whole thing… Look at CDAN’s tag for either of em
Very very interesting. I totally believe all of it. Looks like I’m going to have to spend some of my work day on CDAN now wasting time! Lol :).
Side note about ScarJo, I remember reading on Lainey’s site how ScarJo is very inappropriate with men/is extremely catty and rude to other women. Her bad attitude toward other women totally turned me off of her.
Dude CDAN is a fake. I thought everyone knew this by now? A couple months ago it was proven he’s a liar and makes up blind items for his own amusement.
It’s still fun to read. Who took it 100% seriously any way?
Um a lot of people as you can see from the comment I replied to. I always see people citing cdan as evidence.
Well, wouldn’t that mean that it isn’t all fake then?
Not trying to be a jerk to you. 🙂
Maybe she fell in love and her priorities changed. They seem like a really cute match and I hope they make each other happy for years to come. I also hope they release pictures. I love to see that girl in clothes.
Oh me too! I love her style and am a closet Gossip Girl fan *hangs head* I would love to see her wedding dress! Congrats to them.
I hope this works for his sake. It’ll be horrible to be under 40 with 2 strike outs.
Well done on just getting it done… good luck to them both.
Wholeheartedly agree with you. I like him, would hate to see him Anistonized.
Congrats to Mr. And Mrs. Unbelievably Boring!
I don’t get all the hate for Blake. Her styling and acting skills may need work, but many others in Hollywood are guilty of the same.
Anyway, this wedding is the opposite of famewhore. Maybe she’s just matured! They seem like a pretty low-key, happy couple.
Izzy! Hello 🙂
I’m not even sure where the whole “famewhore” label came from. Sure, she usually dated up but she had already starred in a few movies and was the lead in a relatively popular TV show before she started making headlines for who she dated. This is not atypical for a young Hollywood actress-not sure why people single her out and slap the “famewhore” label on her. This is likely a case of WAY too many people treating Lainey’s site like it’s gospel.
Not surprised that her wedding was low-key at all.
Congrats to them!
She’s probably known to be a famewhore because she often calls the paparazzi…
I don’t really believe Lainey since she praised Blake/Leo so hard and currently Ryan Gosling/Eva Mendes, when they have clearly no chemistry and are most likely bearding…
The secret wedding was exactly the same thing he did with Scarlett! Groom’s prerogative, interesting. Well neither one is likely to rise much higher in there careers, maybe that will work for them. They can be basic together.
I have to say I am surprised. I just find them and “odd couple”. I think she is too young for him. I don’t know why, but I just do.
Oh well, it’s a celeb couple, odds are against them lasting … so a pair of divorce lawyers will be making big bucks in the not to distant future?
Yes, I am a cynic when it comes to celeb relationships/marriages having any longevity.
I was shocked, but congrats to them. They seem like a decent match.
Hollywood marriages lasting? Well, he’s already on number 2, so….
I don’t get the hate for her, she seems kinda harmless.
As in, I only got interested in her after her naked pics got leaked.
It’s a Hollywood marriage-it won’t last.
Ryan Reynolds goes for younger chicks-except for Alanis Morisette-he’s always dated young blondes.
I never paid much attention to her, but last week I saw her in super cheesy/weird movie called “Elvis and Annabelle,” and she was really cute in it. Now I kind of like her and I wish them both the best.
Hi @Original Kitter & Izzy
I look out for you two b4 I post. Blake is no different to several of HW starlets but hating her is to be part of the cool crowd as it has been deemed by the Queen for the Sheeple: Lainey.
Anything she says goes.
Blech, I am so sick of Lainy. She is insufferable
Oh sure, make the rest of us feel bad. Just kidding:)
We definitely have wise, witty and gorgeously bitchy women on this site. I LOVE it!
I love Kitt and Izzy too. Smooch!
Hate Lainey, saw her in Toronto last year. Ugh.
Hi back Puffy! *waves*
I read Lainey occasionally, she gets the occasional good scoop, but Kaiser and the CB gang are my gossip gurus…
My money is on a pregnancy.
Got to admire her, though. She knew she wanted him & has been dogged in her pursuit. But can we please stop with the nonsense that these two didn’t hook up until after his divorce? You know she wasn’t just baking him chocolate cookies on set.
He’s one of those pathetic people who has to be in a relationship all the time. He’s been engaged three time and married twice in five years. Really unattractive.
So it’s pathetic to want to be in a relationship? Really?
Wanting to be in a relationship pathetic? No.
Being a serial monogamist who can not be alone EVER and always rushes into being engaged/married? Totally different bag. It’s sad.
It’s been longer than 5 years hasn’t it. Goodness me, I hope so.
I find I am out put off by type. – even in friendship
Only people like JLo deserved to be called out on that. Men like Depp and Pitt also romanced and engaged quickly, but that’s considered romantic. With women it’s desperate. Double standards and all. Although I give Reynolds credit for going after decent people with jobs and not douchebags or leeches.
In the end, Lively probably saw that he was the type to romance, engage and marry quick so she took her chance. I’m sure they are in love but I agree that it’s not a good look on Reynolds to never take a break in his love life.
Now the gossip of Theron moving too fast seems kind of a slap in the face to her. Girl just had to take it easy and who knows, she might have been the one walking down the aisle if that’s what she wanted (I think she just wanted a baby).
I don’t really get those two, I mean she is rather meh and has almost no talent. And I can’t get hot looking at him at all, also I really don’t think he’s that big of an actor.
So is that a big deal?
Anyway I bet Scarjo is pissed.
why Would Scarlett be pissed? she looks like she is really DONE with him, she is a sexy smart woman why would she care anymore about this duck and his meh wife… I bet this is not going to last, mark my words.
I defended Scarlett in an earlier comment today saying I find her sexy and I like to watch her movies and that I don’t hate her because I don’t read too much about her, but I wonder why everyone says she is so intelligent. I guess I was turned off by her intelligence when I read an interview about Scarlett and Stella McCartney was quoted in the mag about how she met ScarJo at a party and Scarlett said something to the effect of “nature vs nurture” as a conversation starter and McCartney was blown away by this and was used to talking to people with no thoughts in their heads she thought this meant ScarJo had real thoughts. For me, I realized in that moment that most of the celebs (acting, singing, fashion design, etc) are shallow and have no intelligence or conversation. It seems like something one would read in Glamour magazine on How To Make People Think You are Intelligent. Like Bridgette Jones did before the launch party with Hugh Grant (can’t remember his name in the flick).
She’s said in more than one interview that she never works out or goes to the gym, yet I have seen photos of her and Ryan in gym gear going to the gym, which is also mentioned in this article. Why is Blake so obsessed with being little miss perfect? girls who actually do have a fast metabolism are not the ones who feel like they need to mention it all the time in interviews…she’s an irritating cliche.
She has clarified that by saying that she works out if a role requires it but not in her day-to-day life when she’s not acting.
talk about chasing marriage.
him, not her.
Well, that escalated quickly. Congrats to the happy couple!
Wow. Ryan Reynolds sure marries them fast. And always seems to marry them in secret out in the woods (scarjo?) It’s weird.
He’s a serial monogamist, so I don’t expect this to last, but I expect him to get married again.
Boone Hall is hardly out in the woods
Charleston, SC, or to be more specific, Mt. Pleasant, SC, is not the “woods.” It’s gorgeous and very cultured. I live close to Boone Hall and it is such a beautiful place.
I grew up in the mountains of East TN-trust me, I can identify “the woods.”
By “in the woods” I mean a quickey, private, secluded wedding. And not anyplace that anyone outside of the area has even heard of. (same went for ScarJo-quickly married out in some out of the way place)
I used to live in Charleston, and no-that plantation isn’t exactly urban. It’s in the country- hence the ‘in the woods’
You must have lived there a while ago, that area of Hwy 17 is definitely urban now. I mean, Boone Hall itself isn’t covered in banks & shopping centers, but the area all around it is. It isn’t in the country anymore
I’m not a fan on Blake but congrats to the both of them!
I think they will be one of the longer lasting couples.
No way will Lively sign divorce papers!
She got him to put a ring on it within a YEAR!
Girl got game
* sheepishly bows down*
Indeed. Well played, Boobs Legsly. WELL PLAYED.
Wow this really surprised me. Stage #4 (after 1. Attracting and 2. Getting Proposal and 3. Marriage) will be Baby really quick. Blake will totally have to be on top of her game. Dude already has a failed marriage and great sex doesn’t last forever.
Wonder how Blake explained away the casting couch rumours and Leo paparazzi extravaganza? Love is indeed blind.
Congratulations!!!!
I know this is not a pro Blake site but I root for her. She seems nice, not too talented but nice and I wish her well.
You’re kind of right though about the 1950s reference…she has been acting very Martha ever since she met him. It’s a huge difference from what we know about Scarlett, who will probably have a melt down over this.
Wow! That was fast. They are a gorgeous couple and I wish them the best of luck.
She’s got game!
Congrats!
I think it will last longer than most Hwood relationships because these 2 seem to be pretty serious people with similar ambitions. ScarJo was obs not ready to settle down so RR found someone who was (ditto for Blake leaving Leo). They’ll have kids soon and she’ll continue to be insufferable with her goody-goody “I bake cupcakes” shtick.
That must sting for Scarjo! While she was out regretting their divorce, he very much had marriage in mind with his ex co-worker. A woman who loves to play the pr-game and coaxed Reynolds into doing the same. And she succeeded. Ouch.
The funny thing is, when I heard the rumour last night that they were supposedly married, my first thought was – I wonder what Scarlet Johanson (sp?) thinks?! Haha. Great minds think a like ;).
In all seriousness though, I really would love to know what ScarJo is thinking.
Good Luck to them
I dunno whether to admire Ryan for his serial monogamy or wonder if he has emotional issues.
But CONGRATS!
I don’t care how pretty Boone plantation is, I wouldn’t get married on the grounds where slaves worked and lived. There are even “slave cabins” preserved on the old “slave street”. It’s an important historic place that should be seen and discussed, but I sure as hell wouldn’t hold a celebration there.
I could not agree more!
I thought the same thing. I have a historical mind (sounds like you do, also) and such history makes a place exempt from celebrations like this. I’m sure they meant no disrespect, but yeah it would not have worked for my wedding.
Wow, seriously!?
I am speechless right now.
People are seriously sick….I doubt if it was a former holocaust camp people would be so quick to have their wedding there! And I know some will say “but that was aaaaaages ago, get over it! it’s not like it’s a plantation right NOW”.
Uggh…
Hmm, JFK Jr. and his wife got married in secret in a former slave church in Georgia yet I never thought of the implications of marrying in a place like that. I initially thought it was charming, but maybe not…
Thanks for the history lesson!
How ironic that Florence Welch was there. Maybe she sang her No Light, No Light song. Bet she loved the plantation *eyeroll*
I see your point, and I kind of felt the same way about even visiting a plantation (Boone Hall happened to be the one we went to), but I figured that if you remember history, you’ll be less doomed to repeat it. I’m assuming the money they paid to rent some of the grounds for the wedding goes to preserving the site and making sure others can visit and learn from the experience.
Its not like Song of the South or anything. The plantations aren’t all “Yay slavery, we should bring it back!” The cabins are there as part of the historical record. It would be way worse if they tore them down & ignored that very important part of the history of that particular plantation & the South as a whole.
If its that upsetting to you, I suggest that you never visit any old city in the South as they were ALL lived in & worked in & on by slaves
Uh, sure, whatever…
But having a wedding there!? Weren’t slaves beaten, raped and worked to death on that plantation (as in most plantations?).
That’s not somewhere I personally would ever want my wedding, pretty gross if you ask me.
And I don’ think anyone is saying to tear it down and pretend like it never happened.
I think that the original poster referred to the lack of appropriateness of holding the wedding there, not to the reason of keeping the historical site intact.
Ok then, don’t get married at a plantation. Plantations are (generally) gorgeous places, perfect for outdoor weddings. I don’t understand why the 1st association people are making with plantation weddings is slavery. My 1st association is always oak trees & spanish moss. But I’m from Charleston & have been to many plantation weddings, so maybe thats a factor.
One of the most beautiful places in the Lowcountry is Mepkin Abbey, a former plantation that is now a Trappist monastery. I wager that most people who visit, stay for a service or retreat or even get married there are more focused on the serene & contemplative pace of life there rather than the fact the it was once home to slaves. But I don’t know, maybe not
Of course the plantations are ‘gorgeous’, one would hope so since it was built off of the backs of slaves who were whipped to death if the results were anything BUT gorgeous.
I get that some people romanticize it and it’s all “Gone with the wind” pretty and you can feel like a southern belle for a day, but it’s icky.
That’s all.
*sigh* So much concern trolling.
I agree with Bodhi-just because something awful happened on a piece of land doesn’t mean we can’t take it back and make it a place where beautiful and celebratory things take place.
It’s not “erasing” or disrespecting the history of the land-it’s simply creating a new life/new memories for it.
Thank you, OriginalKitten. Sheesh.
*Sigh* right back at ya.
Take what back exactly? What is there to take back? The plantations were built off of the backs of the slaves for a reason….what is there to “take back”?
In order for us to take back something it must have been something else, something that is “ours”, to begin with…Slaves lived where they worked, that is, the plantation.
That’s where they were raped, beaten, whipped, killed and had their children stolen from them and it’s also where they were sold.
How can one “create something beautiful” and more importantly, WHY would someone do that? Would you do the same to a former holocaust camp, and don’t tell me it’s “different” because it’s not.
Again, no one has said anything about “erasing” history.
We just think it’s inappropriate to have a celebration there.
Again, would you create a new life/new memories on a former holocaust camp?
Let’s get real. I visited Greenwich in the UK and they have all the slave stuff there too. It made me sick to my stomach. Let’s not forget that the DUTCH AND THE BRITS brought them here in their slave boats. I was horrified.
But, as detestable as it is, it IS history. Not just in the deep South either, Washington DC, VA, etc. Our early presidents who are revered were slave owners. I like to think of it as a reminder of how not EVER to treat another human being again.
They should be preserved to teach our children about the cruelty of the human spirit and how NOT to behave. We are not the only country to have slavery. It is just as disgusting wherever it happened.
History sometimes exists to let us know how not to conduct ourselves ever again.
Personally, if I were a descendant of a slave I’d be damned proud to have achieved in 150 years what they have. I’d want that preserved so I could show my kids, yep that’s what they did to us and look at us now. I’m thinking Obama, Colin Powell and Condi. I’d be proud and the South is beautiful, those cabins do not take away from it. Every nation that had serfs, slaves and the like should be held accountable, not just the US. Dutch slave traders were the worst.
The question is, should you have a *wedding* or a *celebration* on the plantations where men,women and children were raped, brutally beaten, sold, and killed?
I personally think it’s inappropriate.
I think the plantations should still be there and serve as a reminder of the very ugly past.
That’s a piece of history right there that should be preserved and used as a lesson so that history will not repeat itself.
Pretty oak trees and Spanish moss is not a good enough reason to have a wedding where people were tortured on a daily basis for God knows how many years those poor souls lived.
I understand this conversations makes Americans, black, white and in between uncomfortable, but it’s a conversation that I think is important.
I apologize if I am “ruining it”, “it” being your fantasy of a perfect gone with the wind backdrop wedding but I am one of those who can’t just pretend like it’s all well and good, it’s just very inappropriate to me…Anyway, carry on…
I’m sure there are people all over the world who would find a wide variety of places inappropriate venues for a wedding. Personally, I find resorts & hotels inappropriate because they are impersonal & run by big corporations, which I try to avoid as much as possible. I’m sure some of my atheist friends were uncomfortable at my Catholic Church wedding, but they didn’t pitch a fit about having to go into a church. (A GWtW-type wedding isn’t my style; we like things simple & reasonably priced)
If you find them so inappropriate, the answer is simple: don’t get married on one. And refuse to attend one that you might be invited to. You are more than entitled to hold any opinion you want, but the bottom line is this: it isn’t going to change anything. The plantations aren’t going to close to weddings & people aren’t going to stop having them there. People don’t plan major life events around the possible sensibilities of their guests.
Many of the plantations are held in public trusts dedicated to preserving all of the history of all of the inhabitants. None of them deny or gloss over the horrible mistreatment of the slaves. They are places where the public can come to learn the history of the people, the land, & the culture of the times. I don’t find this conversation uncomfortable at all; as I stated, I am a local &, as such, have heard & participated in it my entire life.
I am curious, though, as to whether you would deem them inappropriate for the wide variety of other events held on the grounds. At Boone Hall alone there are charity events that have raised millions for local organizations, the annual Highland Games, a haunted house/ ghost tour at Halloween, a pumpkin patch, 5k Rugged Manic run (also a fundraiser), a sunrise service every Easter, living history days, & a whole host of other things.
Well Fudge you, you had better find another planet to live on. Guess what the Spanish did to the indigenous people? Guess what we did to the Native Americans, what Russia has done, how about South Africa? Europe? Germany? Spain, Italy? England? Humans tend to do those things and we can’t escape it anywhere.
Let me know when you find a place where people haven’t been raped, enslaved or murdered because as long as the human race has existed, it has been going on. How about those Israelites building the pyramids? Yet people visit and have parties and life goes on.
Maybe you can have your party or celebration on the moon or Antarctica. Good luck with the guest list.
You know, if you’re going to avoid doing anything on a piece of land where something bad happened, you will never do anything because bad things have happened in every area of the world.
Slavery was and is wrong. We all know that. But it is still part of American history, it can’t be erased just because it was wrong. If you could do that, you’d have to get rid of all western expansion as well, because the guys opening up the west weren’t very nice to the Native Americans.
Plantation homes are lovely, restored to their former beauty, and are wonderful places to have a late summer wedding. Like, bringing some joy to a place that has also known sorrow.
Just grow up.
Next, let’s have an Easter egg hunt at Auschwitz, just between the crematoria and barracks no.1. You know, just to bring some beauty to that place of suffering. Have you grown up of your condescension yet?
Well, nothing surprising here.
The answers are just as I expected, full of denial, passive aggressive rants and thinly veiled insults.
And no one answered my question about the holocaust camp, not so surprising either.
As I said previously, carry on…
I cant help but notice that you didn’t answer any of my question either
Keep these precious plantations, that seems to be the only thing that matters.
Surprised but not shocked if that makes sense. They were serious from the get go and have been inseparable ever since. I can see them having a kid straight away too, it seems to be what they both want. Congrats to them, I see this one lasting.
I hate when people say it won’t last…they only been dating a year and generally downing the couple….
Geez…I knew my husband less then 3 mos…everybody said Oh they will be split in a year…..that was 46 yrs ago…
Give them a chance…
I guess you don’t work in film business? That makes a difference, don’t you think? so? 😉
I wish them luck. As soon one of them has a major change in their careers, either better or worse, then it will be splitsville. Isn’t that the way it goes in Hollywood. Isn’t this the same pattern he had with Scarlett Johanasson. I hope they have a good prenup.
i’ve never seen her in anything, and he seems like a douchebag, but they have great taste in wedding veneues; i live about 20 minutes from boone hall and it is gorgeous.
Would love to know what Leo thinks right about now.
We can expect a photo op with his VS girlfriend any day now…
We can’t, so let’s just speculate!!!
I think Leo just doesn’t want to settle down. Period. He keeps dating women that are way too young for him. But Blake was smarter than the the others. She used him for PR and then high tailed it when it was evident that he’d still be seeing his randoms and wasn’t the marrying kind.
Personally I think Blake was probably hung up on RR since Green Lantern. She waited out his divorce. I think she also used Leo to make him jelous. Than RR said he was ready and she ran.
While Leo obs doesn’t want to settle down and probably doesn’t miss Blake per se, it probably does hurt his ego that people think she did the dumping. So YES, like Nessa says, expect a photo op or “inside story” of how Leo is so happy with his new model gf.
OK, that’s my take on it…your turn 😉
My thoughts exactly.
My Turn
Naah
he did not use Leo. They had been circling each other since that Great Gatsby meeting in Nov 2011.
I personally believe they had been sexting/ sneaking around for a while and decided to ‘out’ themsleves with that Canes phot op.
Come Australia she finds out Leo D has been cheating and unlike his other girlfriends she did not wiat around for an on/off situation and legged it.
I bet Leo D is crushed! I expect a photo op soon
I tend to agree about Leo’s playboy tendencies, but… there was a recent blind item about a longtime playboy who’s finally decided that his current squeeze is the one, and is working on a pre-nup. Lots of speculation that it’s Leo. Who knows?
Haha I enjoy the speculation. He needs to get his act together soon…not long from now, will models not be at his beck and call to experience his current smelly, moonface, misogynistic ways. Would be even sweeter if Bar R. tweeted her a congrats 😉
@Puffy Schmuffy: I think we’re both right 🙂 I’m with ya, something went down in Australia.
@Izzy
Do you have a source? I want to read about that!
It hasn’t been confirmed, but as I said it was a blind item. BlindGossip website. Most guesses are for Leo and his current squeeze, Erin something.
I always think of 2 Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Parlor when I see him. Loved that show! 🙂 Anyone else remember it? It was his first sitcom, I think.
I remember it! It was definitely a cute show. Whenever I see Ryan Gosling, I still think of the show “Breaker High” hahaha.
Oh Breaker High…horrible Canadian TV at it’s finest. I can’t watch the reruns when they popped up because I once made out with the guy who played ‘Jimmy’ at a party.
WOW!! Congrats to them!! They look like a great couple.
Well, the marriage might last, but this will ruin her career. Marriage & baby at 25 is a pretty bad move for someone who has nothing to offer the industry but sex appeal.
Very true, I still think marrying Michael Douglas ruined CZJ’s “sexy” but it made her a very rich woman which is what I think her goal was.
yes exactly! Just like Megan Fox with Brian Austin Green (I am talking about how she is ruining her career based on sex appeal, not about getting rich because BAG is not as wealthy as Michael Douglas obviously.)
OMG indeed! I know they’ve been together for more than a year, but I really didn’t think they were a ‘serious’ couple.
Congrats to them, I guess.
1. Ryan looks like a young Chevy Chase
2. Blake and Ryan look like they’re the same age
3. Blake and Florence Welch could be sisters, they look a lot alike!
Congrats to the couple! Never understood why Blake is called a famewhore? She has done things most women in hollywood do. I think SJo has been a bigger famewhore than Blake.
If they married last night… That’s not exactly marrying in secret. Sure. I guess they pulled it off without TMZ at the alter, yet still. What is that? Secret for 6 hours?
She kind of hinted at getting married in this Marie Claire interview. She was thinking about which designer would design her gown.
http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Celebrity/20264/Details/23786/Blake-Lively-baking-prude-who-styles-herself
I want to see her wedding dress.
Congrats. They’ve been a lowkey couple, no jumping on couches and making out on red carpets. I like that he’s the marrying kind. Many guys in Hollywood are players.
I can’t believe he got married again so soon after getting divorced in 2010 after a 2 year marriage. That just seems a little rushed, hope he doesn’t make the same mistake twice.
He seems a little desperate to me.
They seem like a match. And she did’t flaunt the wedding, I’d say that was classy and mature. Hope they have much happiness.
Blake is actually pretty smart…Seems like she realized she wasn’t going to be the huge star she was trying so badly to be last year and now she’s put all that ambition into a marriage (and eventual) family. I think she’s better suited to being a Hollywood wife then huge iconic movie star(which we all know wasn’t ever going to happen). In a few years she can rebrand herself with her fashion/cooking friends as a more down home GOOP maybe even get a talk show?
Yes, this is exactly where I think she’s headed with all her cupcake baking.
She would have loved to have Goopy’s early career (oscar and all), but like you said, that probably won’t happen and she knows it. She will rebrand herself as a happy homemaker/hWood wife fer sure.
That makes sense. Her crap of a tv show (Gossip Girl) has one more season and her film career didn’t blow up. She can still shill for Gucci and Chanel for a short while. Hey, she can take much-needed acting lessons when she’s not working. Some actors noticeably improved over time (Farrah Fawcett comes to mind).
Well it’s obvious he just wants to be married. Unfortunately this is not the way to do it. She’s too young, and he’s not going to make her a house wife.
Shes already a housewife. She cooks and bakes all the time!
well, GODDAMNIT. And in my hometown, too! HOW COULD THEY?
I wonder if Ruan have Scarlett a heads up. Even if you’re over your ex, I suppose the news that he’s married so quickly can be a little jarring. Maybe that would explain her (sort of) canoodling with a lupine-looking Jated Leto at the DNC.
Two planks of wood get married. Good for them.
lol!
Ryan is male version of JLo. I don’t think it’s that hard to catch him.
His body is sick, he is cute and funny. But still dull. They are perfect for each other.
Still doubt it will stand the test of time though.
as they’re uninteresting as i think since the begining they’re a real couple and congrats!!
I love that he isn’t a modelizer like Leo DiCaprio, only dating tall early twenties super models for a couple of years and moving on over and over again.
Yep, instead he marries Hollywood blondes in their early twenties and moves on after a couple of years 😉
LOL. When you say it like that . .
It will last two years.
In the last pic she looks like Jen Aniston …..like 40ish
Sorry Kaiser, I give this 6 years TOPS.
I lave that they got married in my home town!! Charleston is a mega destination wedding place & I figured it was just a matter of time til a celeb couple got hitched there too.
Personally I think Middleton & Magnolia are FAR prettier plantations (their gardens are gorgeous), but Boone Hall is really pretty too
Since they got married Sunday evening, maybe they had the whole place to themselves and were able to get married under that canopy/walkway of trees. That is gorgeous!
Yeah, the Avenue of Oaks is stunning! Thats where they filmed the entrance to Tara in Gone With the Wind
I think its up to her. He REALLY wants to be married. ScarJo did not turn into the happy housewife which is what he wants. She was the bigger name. Being the so-called Sexiest Man Alive didn’t help his career any. If Blake wants to be the happy housewife, they will last. If Blake gets an acting break and becomes a bigger name than him she’ll be gone.
BTW: lack of talent and blandness notwithstanding, I don’t think becoming a bigger name than him is that hard. He blew his Sexiest Man Alive opportunity. That was his shot, he’s over. He doesn’t even have a franchise to fall back on like Bradley Coooper does after this weekend’s major fail at the boxoffice.
So, Kaiser I know that you’re really into this relationship and convinced that it’s the real deal, but I don’t know.
Blake was really into getting a ring. It kind of seems like that’s been her goal all along, with Penn, Leo, and now Ryan. She has what she wanted: a husband.
What you have here is two people who are in love with love and marriage, not with each other. (IMHO) I don’t wish them any ill will and hope that everything works out for them just as they plan. Unfortunately, I think it takes longer to heal from the end of a marriage (Ryan and Scarlett’s) and I don’t think you should ever marry the first person you went out with after a divorce!
Congrats to the newlyweds!!
Now that is a way to make life affirming decisions and actions(whether wise or fool-hardy) and keep it personal. Marriage is not a poll.
congrat to dem…..they really seem like a match…….i pray they last
The union of two great minds…
I agree with many on here. She seems to be a calculating person, not that that is necessarily bad, but I am surpirsed she married him. Is Ryan Reynolds really a big deal in Hollywood? I would think she would aim higher. But, maybe she is sincere. His eyes are too close together so he looks like a beady eyed rat to me. I don’t dislike him or anything just don’t think he is good-looking.
I hardly see Ryan as a downgrade from Leo..who seems like a man/child to me. When I think of a family man I don’t think of Leo.. Ryan yes. and maybe that is the thing. He is a man in his 30’s that wants a family.. OMG the crime. Women are forever whinnying about men not making a commitment. Then we see a man that does and it is all What is wrong with him.. Women need to get a clue. Some men want a family and they look for a woman that wants what they want. Scarlett didn’t seem to be ready for that and LEO sure as hell not. I think and have said it before Blake dumped Leo.. and she was probably attracted to Ryan and he her. Then they were both free so there you go.
I’m not a fan of either but they look happy and on the same page. And for couples that to me is very important.
I’m with you.
If he wants a family why not marry someone his own age?
Only an idiot would think ScarJo was ready to quit her career and start popping out babies. Maybe in 10 years but not 3 years ago and not now.
Alright…Congrats. That’s all I got.
Leo D is gay, so Blake was just a beard for him. Guess she got tired of the gig. Love Ryan Reynolds, but this seems awfully fast. He hardly knows the girl really. He does seem to go for women (girls) who are 10 years younger than he is. And why the big rush? Wait another year, usually when the lust factor has worn off a bit, and then you can see if its going to last.
Leo isn’t gay. Gisele, a top supermodel, a hot Brazilian, would not spend years with a gay guy. That woman looks like she wants sex three times a day. She’s incredibly wealthy. She had tons of men after her back then. There was no reason for her to spend years with a guy who wasn’t all over her. It’s not like their relationship was lived out in the public. He lives quietly. What would she have gotten from that relationship if he was gay? And to say she was just a beard, they were together a lot and she wasn’t out dating other men those years.
I don’t think Leo’s gay either, but Gisele definitely got more famous when she was with him.
I think Blake and Leo were just PR and probably friends with benefits…there was probably a contract.
Kaiser – Do you think that Jennifer Aniston is ‘fame-whoring’ her wedding?
I don’t understand, if she’s so private, why should even have or announce an engagement. You don’t have to do that. You don’t have to wear an engagement ring around. You could be engaged for three years, then married and no one could ever find out. Does she really just want all the attention?
UGH.
downgrade for ryan
Coincidence or Conspiracy?
Did Leo D have a heads up?
Is that why we were getting these 2 blinds about him settling down?
http://blindgossip.com/?p=46952
http://blindgossip.com/?p=46967
Was it one up manship? Hmmmmmmm
Just mentioned that above!! I am wondering the same thing Puffy!
I compare this to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. She was totally head over heels for him when they filmed “Daredevil” (seriously, go listen to her gush about him on the red carpet and in interviews for that film) but he was with J.Lo and she was with Michael Vartan. So she waited until he was free and then she moved in and was the refreshing exact opposite of J.Lo. I think that Blake, with her cooking and her domesticity and her “I just want to be a great housewife and mother who sometimes acts” is probably really different from Scarlett Johansson, who dumped Ryan R. and left him reeling.
Ben and Jen are going to make it, probably in part because she makes it really easy to stay with her (the cheating, etc.). I think it’s going to be a similar marriage- kids and lots of “normal” domesticity thrown out as the message.
I think Blake is calculating enough in her career to realize that “Boobs McLegsly, the maneating famewhore” wasn’t winning her any fans. So now she’s Mrs. Ryan Reynolds/Betty Crocker/Jennifer Garner. We’ll see.
Agreed
Agree, ctkat1. Except Ryan may not be a cheating douche like Ben. Ryan comes across, at least in pictures, as a decent guy unlike Ben. Both the Affleck brothers are gross. Casey is also creepy.
In terms of talent, however, there’s no comparing Ben and Ryan. Ben is establishing himself to be a far more interesting director than he was as an actor, which is brilliant, imo.
I will never understand why people hate her so much. She’s sweet and inoffensive. Basically the opposite of La Lohan yet people treat Blake worse than they treat Lindsay.
Anyway, how awesome that she got Florence & Bette Midler to perform at the ceremony. This girl must be as charming as she seems.
+1!
I agree. She has an amazing body and pretty face, so I think people tend to be jealous of her. I also think how she plays up being a 50s type housewife and all the name dropping she does kind of turns people off. I think she does it to try and be likeable, but people take it as her being a snob or something.
I’m meh about her, don’t hate her or care much about her but I personally do not think she has a “pretty face”. She’s very average looking imo and I sincerely doubt anyone is jealous of her…there are plenty of beautiful actresses out there that one could be jealous of, Blake is not one of them.
She’s an obviously attractive girl even if she isn’t your type. And there’s much more to jealousy than looks. She has it all. She’s thin, rich, on the cover of Vogue, is friends with Christian Louboutin and Anna Wintour, etc.
Wow! She has you fooled too.
Oh, spare me. I’ve only read positive fan encounters and lovely things about her. She’s not falling drunk at clubs or making a fool of herself. She seems like a nice, family oriented, down to earth girl.
She’s one of those Hollywood offspring. I tend to dislike all of them until they prove themselves. Having been born and raised in LA, I think they take work away from more talented actors due to their connections. This also applies to the rich buy themselves a path people like Rooney Mara.
Goop and Aniston and Jolie all prime examples – only Jolie has proven herself.
There are male ones too but they are so inconsequential that I can’t think of their names. Michael Douglas proved himself (before I was born).
@ Emma: wow you take superficiality to the extreme! I know this is a gossip website, but you seem a little immature in your comments “she has it all because she is thin, rich, and friends with people like Christian Louboutin, on the cover of Vogue etc”…I hope you realize that this is only your definition of having it all and that not everyone shares it! Being thin, on the cover of Vogue and friend with Christian Louboutin (it is a business friendship obviously)is only the dream of some people (and keep in mind lots of girls are thin so I don’t know why you value it so much, it is not uncommon)…and being rich, well, tons of people are much richer than she is so your definition of “having it all” obviously depends on your own personal scale of values!
Won’t last long. These two are both way too in love with themselves to really love someone else.
Yeah. Like that’s gonna last. She reminds me of Waity Katie.
Go to that Rules website… it says in big letters “Kate followed ‘the Rules'”.
Quickie secret marriage just a few years after his other quickie secret wedding? How embarrassing.
I’m actually really happy for these two. They seem to make sense together. I see their babies being tall and gorgeous.
Me thinks she’s pregnant. Also Lainey is definitely paid by Blake’s PR.
I would not be surprised if this wad a shotgun wedding. And, yeah… Lainey is over the top ridiculous with her Blake comments.
Oh yes, it’s getting more and more embarrassing…it’s so obvious she is praising her high for some reason!
Once a cheater always a cheater.
Wow that was awfully quick! I guess Ryan was itching for a new wife. I dunno this pairing seems odd to be somehow.
Wow. They JUST got married and already people are counting down to the divorce! I love gossip as much as the next person but damn, that is cold. And a bit sad. They seem very low key, just going about their lives together. They may not be the greatest actors in the world but they’re not drug addicts, Ryan’s not a womanizer, Blake’s not falling out clubs drunk or getting arrested for drink driving and they’re not flaunting their relationship on tv for money. So why the distaste? Sometimes it feels like people are just hating for hating’s sake.
Anyway, congrats to the happy couple and the little bundles of joy that will no doubt be on the way soon. Hope it works out for them.
@storyteller: Great comment, I agree with you.
I know they were serious about the relationship but I’m still taken by surprise. I thought they were going to wait a little longer.
Anyway, congratulations! I wish them nothing but the best!
He should forget his shirt more often…
I’m on the “it won’t last” team and statistically given this is hollywood chances are I’m right but who knows… Maybe I’m wrong.
I personally don’t see anything famewhorey about Blake. But i am tots shocked abt these nuptuials. Ryan has not been right since dumping the goddess Alanis but now that shr has found love, congrats to Blakesey and RyRy. May the divorce be jus as quick and quiet as the marriage. Just saying
1. She calls the paparazzi
2. Her boyfriends were just actors
3. Fake nose and breasts
4. Fake interviews
Of course there are people much worse than her, but I can understand why most of us don’t like her: she comes across as pretty fake and famewhorey.

Meli says ScarJo is chubby with cellulite but Blake is toned. I beg to differ, being skinny doesn’t make you toned and I’ve seen untouched photos of Blake in a bikini and she is definetely not toned and I don’t know much about her but her face leaves a lot to be desired. As for the hush hush wedding, well let’s just say; if she’s a famewhore like some people insist she is there’s no better publicity stunt than keeping things quiet to try and prove it isn’t a publicity stunt. If it was so hush hush and they like their privacy than why bother to let us know at all about the wedding. After the ceremony their friends and family should have still remained quiet but a source revealed that they tied the knot. This news is bigger and will get more publicity than if they had announced their engagement.
V4Real says: if she’s a famewhore like some people insist she is there’s no better publicity stunt than keeping things quiet to try and prove it isn’t a publicity stunt. … This news is bigger and will get more publicity than if they had announced their engagement.”
This!
Remember last year Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz. They did it secretly too. But with the difference it came out four days later, they did it in front of four people and they remained low-key all the time. They were praised for doing it low-key and the reactions were positive. I think Lively had that in her mind.
I don’t think so. Martha Stewart’s people helped organize it apparently and pics are to be featured in her magazine. Rachael and Dan NEVER published any pics.
Actually a radio broke the news DURING the wedding. I doubt one of the family members – as per Blake wish, as you’re implying – let them know they were getting married while it happened. I suppose someone from the venue and the staff working in the ceremony did it.
I still have a hard time with people choosing what shit they want to believe. When it’s Brangelina shit they don’t give credit to the magazines, but then when no ones imply Blake slept with Ben Affleck then it’s believable… it’s ridic. There was never any evidence of such. It’s like saying Angelina sleeps with all male leads in her movies. So people love to hate Blake and they’ll buy whatever bullshit Laney or whoever is that said she slept her way up. Which way up? She dated her insignificant co-star in a teen show for three years, they were low key then. It took MONTHS for pics to be taken of Blake and Penn. So yeah, you choose what to believe. I choose to believe what it’s right there to anyone see: Blake and Ryan are crazy about each other and wanted to commit.
I do agree about Ryan giving a vibe of a serial monogamist. That said, I DOUBT all people who accused him of it love being alone and don’t jump into new relationships fast… I’m absolutely sure of that.
Hope they last and are happy and will continue for a long time.
i think this marriage is weird, less for Blake and more for Ryan. He has been a little too marriage-happy between the multiple engagements, just divorced / remarried <3 yrs. Ryan has issues. So I feel sorry for Blake on this.
Well played Blake! Congrats to them and well done on getting married without the tabs having any idea that it was going to happen (until after the fact) lol. I wonder if they got engaged at all first and just didn’t tell anyone.
Years back when RR and ScarHo got married my hubby and I both said they wouldn’t last, and they didn’t. But I get a different feeling about these 2. I give them 7-10 years together at least. I wish them lots of luck.
some sites r saying she wore Marchesa? Maybe this will help them get Weinstien jobs? Horrible! I need a pic!
I read that too! She must have looked horrible! 😉
I thought she has access to ALL designers, why the fuck did she choose Marchesa? Ugh!!
Note to Brangelina: this is how its done (when you actually want to marry someone vs. PR thing.
This makes no sense.
You’re absolutely right. This is the way it’s done when you want to keep exclusivity to Martha Stewart magazine since they helped to plan & stage your wedding for their December issue, probably for free. Wonder if Ryan has a movie coming out then. Hmm…
So Ryan Reynolds is the male version of JLo. Overlapping marriages and relationships. This is the second time he has married a 24 year old actress,but I do hope it works out.
I don’t particularly care for either of them (or for having to read over 220 comments, so forgive me if this is a repeat of prior sentiments), but I hope it works out for them.
Sometimes, it’s just “right” and you know it. (Doesn’t mean it’ll STAY “right,” but I digress…)
I agree bella, I just don’t see the appeal of this couple. Hopefully it lasts longer than Ryan’s first marriage.
I wish them the best!
Is it bad that I’m really jealous? Blake and I are the same age, but I’ve been with my boyfriend for 4.5 years and would love to be married right now. Ahh, the difference millions of dollars will make.
You think you have it bad? I’m your age and I don’t even have a boyfriend.
Alright- I haven’t read all the comments yet so someone else may have said this but here is my theory.
I think they have been together longer than a year. Green lantern filmed from March 2010 to August 2010 and RR & SJ announced their split in December 2010. What if BL & RR were having an affair during filming and that’s why RR & SJ split and all those blind items were about Ryan and not Ben Affleck. Then for some reason BL & RR split in 2011 and she starts dating Leo. Then RR is all “baby I miss you. Let’s get married” she ditches Leo, because the whole idea was to get RR jealous and if that didn’t work a trade up to Leo and the rest as they say is history.
No matter what really happened I think we can all agree that Blake Lively has game
I don’t know if I would call allegedly commandeering another woman’s husband, “game.”
Or maybe Scarlett and Ryan ended amicably and they grew apart like they said and Penn and Blake also ended amicably as many young relationships do. They dated around and enjoyed the single life. Did press for The Green Lantern together and realized they had shared interests and enjoyed each others company.
omg so scandalous!!!
@Shoe_lover: Oooh, good theory! You might be right, it certainly would make sense couldn’t it.
+1 to whoever said Blake should write a book!
I don’t care for either ScarJo or Blake, but as far as faces/bodies go, both have their assets & liabilities, neither has it all. I was never sure of the ‘real’ reason that RR & ScarJo split, and I honestly have to say I think it’s a bit too soon for these two to marry. Someone seems anxious for marriage, I wonder which one? Maybe they are both a bit insecure and think that marriage will make everything okay, but we’ll have to see.
I can’t believe gerbil-face managed to land two young, blonde hotties. He must have a great personality.
You’ve obviously never seen Blade: Trinity to even come close to understanding his appeal to some people. lol 🙂
Any bets on who Ryan’s next wife will be?
Too soon?
I almost spilled my tea with your comment. Too soon, but funny! 🙂
Elle Fanning? Chloe Moretz?
I suspect that he will get older as his wives stay the same age, hair color and shape.
Was on twitter earlier, apparently Ryan and Blake’s wedding photos will be appearing in the December issue of Martha Stewart’s magazine, MS confirmed on her twitter account they got married and word on the streets is she helped them organise their wedding too.
Congratulations to the happy couple and I really do hope this works out for them! 🙂 I don’t know about you ladies I want to see what she wore!
xx
Double post
aww does anyone else miss famewhore-y Blake? The Blake who would show up to events practically falling out of her dress in a biscuit grazing hemline? The one who charted around the world to visit fashion houses and walk red carpets?
*sigh* she was way more fun than ‘slightly condescending post Reynold’s dong’ Blake.
That being said – congratulations to the happy couple. I hope their wedding was amazing and that they find happiness with each other.
Looks like their wedding will be featured exclusively in the winter issue of Martha Stewart Weddings mag.

… ” been seen working out together at a local gym”
Really? But Blake doesn’t work out …
😉
When I first saw this, I was surprised, but after thinking about it, I don’t know why that was my first reaction. They both like being in serious relationships and they’ve been together for (at least) a year.
I’m happy for them and will look forward to seeing the wedding photos, even if she wore Marchesa. Let’s hope it’s not a ice skating outfit or a circus costume.
WHAT is the fuss about her?!!!
Her boobs are fake, she has no lips, sagging eye lieds, dyed eyebrows and her hair is as a mess. She can’t act just mumble. she was with leo only to leave him for ryan and tell she dated dicaprio. and laney is like ‘oh my god shes so awesome, how did she do it!!’
SUCKS
good for them. i’ve often thought about getting married in secret or eloping and then telling everyone about it because i don’t want a huge circus of a wedding. i’m shocked that they managed to keep to keep the wedding until after it happened. that’s kind of amazing.
It’s strange that people say she’s so boring and they don’t like her yet her posts always get tons of comments analyzing her every move. People have the weirdest and illogical conspiracy theories about her. Like how everything is a game and she plays everyone. Lainey seems to think she’s some ethereal intelligent being who played everyone. I don’t get it? Costars fall in love all the time. Blake does nothing different than any other actor in HWood yet she’s deemed as this media manipulator famewhore. She almost never goes to events that aren’t her own movie premieres and she’s hardly ever papped when people like Minka Kelly are papped daily. She never talks about her relationships or says anything controversial. People just have some crazy mob mentality hate for this girl. People always hate the nice girl.
I don’t particularly have a problem with this girl. Sure, she is vapid and famewhoring (aren’t most of them?) and mumbles like she’s drunk and on valium, but I MUCH MUCH MUCH prefer her to that lowly skank Scarjo.
And as much as gerbil eyes doesn’t do anything at all for me, and I think he’s as boring as as they come, at least he shows he isn’t afraid of committing to a woman – unlike long life bachelors Looney Clooney and hamster-faced Di Caprio club.
