These are photos from last Friday’s grand opening of the Apple Store at Grand Central Station in NYC. Blake Lively was there – because she’s an Apple girl? Can we talk about her coat for a minute? I would like to see a version of the coat without the Christmas-tree skirt draped around her shoulders. What’s that? THAT is part of the design of the coat?!? Hideous. But I guess we should praise Blake for being covered up – she hardly ever wears this much.
In other Blake news, she and Ryan Reynolds just got pap’d together. AGAIN. You can see the “morning after” photo here – Blake and Ryan in NYC, with coffee and hats. I know Lainey is always asking “How does she DO that?” but the single most amazing thing about Blake’s game is that she ends up with the guys who are notoriously private, the dudes who are rarely – if ever – photographed with their ladies. And then when they get with Blake, suddenly their affair is all for general consumption, they get pap’d in intimate outings, with astounding frequency. That happened when Blake was with Leo, and now it’s happening with Ryan Reynolds, who is usually way more locked down. And now the “happy, happy couple” tabloid reports begin. Blake’s publicist managed to get this in People Magazine:
It’s holiday time in the city, and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are making the most of it – criss-crossing Manhattan on Saturday for a double-date breakfast on the Lower East Side and coffee in the West Village.
The couple, who’ve been heating up as the temperatures drop, joined Lively’s sister Robin and her husband for breakfast at one of Blake’s favorite restaurants in the city, the Stanton Social.
The couple shared a breakfast of doughnuts, tacos de huevos, bacon-egg-and-cheese biscuits, pierogies and muffins. They were very cuddly, giggling and leaning on each other in the booth.
In addition, the new couple hit up coffee shop Mojo on Charles Street in the West Village. They were touchy-feely, with Reynolds, 35, dressed in checked slacks, Chucks and a henley layered under a sweater, and Lively, 24, wearing a curve-hugging charcoal shift, netted tights and boots. Lively chatted with patrons as she waited for her coffee, even introducing herself to one. The Gossip Girl star also seemed taken with a piece of art that looked like a collage of gumballs, snapping a pic on her iPhone.

Sigh… that’s a lot of breakfast, right? That’s a lot of carbs. I’m not sure that I buy that Blake eats doughnuts and muffins and biscuits and pierogies and all of that. But maybe Ryan likes girls that eat. And Blake is changing for him! Sigh…

does she show up to anything and everything just to get her picture taken?! seriously, the opening to an apple store?….
Probably more to do with the $$$$$$$$.
Ofcourse but only in the time left when Ryan’s not banging her.. Why is there anything else she does..?! Tramp
She is young so she can eat basically whatever she wants and be fine. But yeah she will turn into Ms Ol ButterButt if she doesnt watch it later on.
I am so jealous of that breakfast btw
I know, the breakfast was the most interesting part of the story!
Stanton Social does small plates and mini everything, so it’s not like that was all full-sized. But still delicious – if she even ate anything. There’s a difference between “ordering” and “eating.”
Why are we celebrating anything about a girl who went after a married man (as Lainey confirmed this morning) and is sleeping her way to a career.
That’s not game.
That’s being a pathetic slut.
UGH.
Right? And Lainey loves every minute of it. It honestly disgusts me so much that I can’t take the rest of her blog seriously and it sucks because she has such a smart gossip blog.
So true. Totally agree.
I know, Lainey used to be my go-to blog, but now I’m all about Celebitchy. I get the impression that Lainey and her friends to be kinda full of themselves- I feel like if we met in real life I wouldn’t be “cool” enough for them, or wouldn’t be wearing the right thing- Lainey’s gone from the girl who seems like your pal to that popular girl in highschool. Know what I mean?
So true Anna and Ziggy
OMG. So true. Celebitchy replaced Lainey Gossip for me too. Years ago, before she was working for ETalk, she was more objective. She’s sold out, I think.
Part of thinks that lainey likes it so much is because ScarJo is rumored to be such a bitch. I think she’s loving that Scarlett is getting a taste of her own medicine and it’s being so publicly rubber in her face.
Omfg, I’m there with all of you! Lainey lost me, actually, gushing for months about the royal wedding. I just couldn’t bring myself to care even remotely about a bunch of people who run around playing dress-up and to whom you have to courtesy (in 2011, not medieval England – all of us, the peasants, are literate now). She went on and on about it like it was reality, like these people did anything other than be useless money-grubbing famewhores (yet she refuses to cover the Kardashians?) and I switched over to this here site. 🙂
I’d been growing tired of Lainey for a while, but her fanning over the royal wedding was the last straw for me too. She’s full of herself, I think.
I totally agree with you. Lainey trashes Kate Bosworth (I don’t like her either) for being a man-stealing papwhore, but Blake Lively is the same. Yet, Lainey admires Blake’s “game”.
I agree with most of you guys (about Laineygossip). It was my “go-to” blog too. But her constant bashing of Adrien Brody really pissed me off (she trashed him for every little thing he did or didn’t do — while praising known douchebags like Leonardo DiCaprio, WTF??!!) pushed me away.
I still like a thing or two about her blog and her take on certain celebrities — I still check her blog, I mean (just don’t read every single post anymore). And I agree with Turtle Dove that part of Lainey’s obsession with Lively is because of Johansson. I also think that she (Lainey) likes Lively for the very simple reason of having material for gossip. I don’t think she’s ok with Lively going after married men. But the “how does she DO that” being repeated over and over again is really annoying.
Link, please. I can’t find it.
Zigggy, CB’s been my go-to since I discovered it! 😀 I used to go to US or People, but rarely ever do now. It’s CB & DListed for me!
First sentence, second paragraph.
(Lainey has hinted at the hook up before even going as far as to say they did hook up, she wanted more, he shut it down)
http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/22084/Scarlett-Johansson-looks-grumpy-in-New-York-as-Blake-Lively-continues-to-play-her
Yes, dlisted sometimes makes me laugh so hard I freaking cry.
Yes, and this blind item is supposedly Scarlett, which I can totally see.

super! my boyfriend and me also took a breakfast today!
ZZZ
If your boyfriend is tabloid worthy and formerly notoriously press shy unless he had a movie to promote, then we are paying attention. As no doubt you did by even posting a comment about this story.
Feel free to go back to sleep.
I bet she eats! She’s annoying and a famewhore but I don’t think she starves herself.
Can we please boycott this girl from gossip blogs? You guys are the ones that keep her relevant. #BoycottBlake
hahahaha Kaiser thank you for posting the sad clown photo at top. The photo embodies everything i feel about this girl, totally hot until i see her face. Pretty, when set in normal smile, questionable in any other state.
ALSO i cannot read anymore of Lainey’s postins on Blake. Don’t get me wrong i always love Lainey POV on things BUT the constant “How does she DO that?” is starting to get grating and feel a little like someone’s pimping for her publicist. Please this girl’s game is to get hitched and/or possibly knocked up to the biggest star she can before she loses momentum its like watching your friend who desparately wants to marry a doctor stand outside the Science building at college looking for a “tutor”.
It almost makes me think that Scarlett’s comment on marrying Ryan was a “come on,” to Blake
I agree 100%. The only time I can’t stand Lainey is when she’s talking about Blake. She knows that Blake put the moves on a married man and still praises her. If it was Ashley Greene or Jessica Biel -two actresses Lainey constantly makes fun of- she would give them hell. Part of me feels like she’s getting paid for it. I can’t even believe she tries to put Blake on Scarlett’s level.
Agreed.
Yet Lainey blatantly called out Rebecca Hall for skanking it up and waiting around for Sam Mendes.
Isn’t this EXACTLY WHAT Blake did. Tried to skank it up WITH A MARRIED MAN, got called on it, then waited around for him.
Thou Blake actually managed to slip Leo in the mix too.
But THIS is considered good game. Ugh.
I’m never the sort who steps up in favour a woman trying to hit on a married man but I can’t help but be fascinated by Blake’s game as well. One can be fascinated and pay attention to all of the gossip stories about her without condoning what she tried to do when Ryan was married. What I find most interesting about the Ryan/Blake thing is that yes, she’s been outed as trying to make the moves on Ryan and Ryan was able to not succumb to it. But once Ryan was free and Blake approached again, he was all over it. My guess is that she knew Ryan and ScarJo were in trouble and ScarJo wasn’t ready to let go and told her to back off (rightfully so). Blake could have made her attempt immediately after the separation but she waited until after Ryan had a couple of flings with unknowns and a dalliance with Charlize Theron before making the final move. And it paid off!
Bigger celebrities haven’t been able to pull that off without looking terrible in the press. Yet Blake receives kudos and positive press from *all* the tabloids. So I can’t hate on Lainey for asking “How does she DO that” because everyone is smitten!
What game ? It’s more about Blake’s PR team than Blake herself, who do you think has arranged all this fauxmances, who’s promoting the hell out of her through the tabloids, Blake’s game is doing what her PR team wants her to do.
I agree with Bubulle, this relationship was most likely set up by the spokeshos.
Blake prolly couldn’t make it stick with Leo so they went into damage control mode: “who can we get you with now so you don’t look like a dejected fool?” and decided RR would be good cause they were already friends and he needed a PR boost too (ScarJo/Sean Penn ho-stroll, box office failures etc).
I think they are friends/lovers/whatevs but above all they are doing this to stay alive in the game…and that is not the same as really HAVING game.
So exciting! Shopping at the Apple Store and drinking coffee two weeks before Christmas. These love birds are almost as zany as Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Hahaha!
And as usual only people magazine get the the exclusive details, the same magazine which is owned by WB which is desperate to make a franchise out of Green Lantern. But I bet it’s just a coincidence because we all know Blake and Ryan are the real deal.
Good point.
Its all so effin see thru.
This girl has minimal talent, average looks and a banging body. Seems someone is taking a play out of the Jennifer Aniston book of “how to make a career out of not much talent at all!”
Agree with the call to #BoycottBlake
Totally!!! Her spokeswhore, like Aniston’s, must be a goddamn genius. Same person perhaps? Haha.
FUG inside and out.
That coat is just plain gross. Yuk.
I second this!
Third! Motion carried *gavel pounds* kill it with fire.
I’d like to know what she’s been in because I have no idea why she is famous…other than who’s been IN HER!
Blake seems to look harder and more unattractive with every passing day. I have zero interest in her. Wish she’d just go away.
Thanks for writing about this, cause this couple is so silly. One minute they are posing for pictures and then the next they are hiding. (referring to the Popsugar pictures)
Ryan has all but killed my stan. It’s dead. There’s no tingle when I look at his pictures. Blah.
Edit – I’ve just realized that there is no male actor in Hollywood that I find attractive at. all. They’ve all killed it with the fakeness, showmances, and famewhoring. (shakes head sadly)
Think older and/or foreign: Viggo, ASkars, Clive, Jason Statham, Goran Visnjic, Hugh Jackman, Timothy Olyphant…
Hugh is pretty nice looking. I liked the ASkars until the Bos got her cling all over him. He’ll have to decontaminate for a bit.
Normandes… sad isn’t it that in all of Hollywood the men that are supposed to be A-list and amazing are not lady-boner worthy. What to do? WHO can we stan on??
Turtle:
I think the problem is that there’s a real derth of NEW talented MALE hotties in hwood. We’ve seen so many new gals to take the place of ScarJo and Keira but for the guys it’s a big collective meh. I get why Kaiser so hot for Fassie, cause really there’s not much else.
I don’t know if you’ve seen this article, but I think it sums things up quite nicely (Lainey featured it):
http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/10/where_are_the_new_leos_tobeys.html
bellaluna: Nice list but most are too old for my tastes. They gotta be in their early to mid 30s.
Damn, we need to find someone crush worthy…but I know what you mean. Gosling with Mendes or JGL with ScarJo just tots kills my boner.
Dammit Turtle Dove and Normades , you sound like you are virgins. Truth is that you will find no one, never forget that regardless of his social status a man is still man, what do you expect from those hwood guys. Get over your Prince charming image, celeb or not it’s all BS anyway.Personnaly as long as they keep working hard and treat others with respect I think they are still drool worthy.
I have no “prince charming” complex, trust. I saw “I’m still here” and still think JP is the hottest man alive. I know he’s banged Lohan and does tons of drugs, but I would. Still.
YAY! Another Phoenix-loony here!
I haven’t seen “I’m still here” yet. I’ll wait until he “comes back” for real and regain his status of one the best actors out there (I think he’s THE best one, actually). In my very personal opinion, he’s never lost it — but I know he’s been grounded by Hollywood producers and directors (who didn’t enjoy being played — and that shows just how great he is when he acts: he made an absolutely absurd “performance” look real…many people in the industry bought it).
Virgin! LOL. Yes… yes. I am.
It’s the loss of the mystic that I miss. Where is the Cary Grant of our generation? Or the Jack Nicholson? Both were bad boys and went through women like water, but it was the mystery (and the acting chops to go with it).
Nowadays, all they want to do is get their picture on a blog or in a magazine. It’s….. well…. emasculating.
Hate the coat-the arms are way too tight-this may have been a freebie. for Blake.
I think Lainey’s kissing -up a little too much on this one. This chick will be a Trivial Pursuit question in a couple years.
Ryan was married to Scarlett for two years (I think?) and I hardly ever saw paparazzi pics of them. He’s been with Blake for about ten minutes and suddenly they’re getting papped all the time? Wow; famewhore.
I’d give my left arm for that coat.
Mmmmmm…carbs…..
I was getting my Ryans confused, because I was thinking “Isn’t he with Eva Mendes?”
But I’ve got it straight now. BL seems to be quite the talented little pap-ho. These otherwise camera-shy, non-pap-friendly guys all of a sudden just blow up all over the tabs/net once she’s involved.
Kiss of death, girlie. Kiss of death.
That jacket is busted looking! Ugh!
Is she the Pharaoh of the East Side? No other reason to wear that fug coat except she’s trying to resurrect Cleopatra. Or the Aztecs? Can’t really decide which dynasty she’s trying to pay homage to.
He’s gay. She’s a beard. The end.
I am a greedy cow and that breakfast sounds kind of gross.
This broad looks older than Jen Aniston…
… and she’s 20 years younger.
Girl must have a golden ‘you know what’ because I don’t get the attraction. She is average looking at best, yes has big breast implants but no talents whatsoever (yes I have seen the town). The only interest is how the heck she is getting traditionally pap shy celebrities to famewhore along with her. I mean Leo? Ryan Reynolds? Maybe she is putting brain-wash pills in their cornflakes.
Blake is very mannish facially, and IMO, is a professional beard.
And her trench is the fugliest I have ever had the misfortune to lay my eyes upon.
she has such a manly face.
She’s such an opportunist. She’ll do anything for fame and the spotlight.
Fat girl breakfast.
That is a hideous raincoat.
Why is Blake Lively getting passed around in Hollywood like sloppy seconds..Eww ???
Wow, I feel so validated reading these comments re: Lainey. OK, validated is dramatic, but damn, I was feeling the same way. I get really sick of this drooling of some supposed game. I actually find her running from one man to another in days pathetic and really telling of not game but desperation. The fact that she can snag those 2 (for a awhile….Leo didn’t last; and I totally believed he did the dumping) isn’t that impressive to me. Ryan doesn’t impressive me as a great catch. And Leo, really. But my complaint is not just with Lainey having her strong biases, but here as well. Some of the celebs that are favorites can passes on stuff that others get reemed for. But by in large, this is my fav website for the coverage and the bloggers comments.
Re: Ryan suddenly not minding being papped. His last few movies haven’t done so well.
This is another pr romance IMO. Meant to keep both relevant in the absence of any hit movies.
If you ask me Blake’s publicist is the one who’s got ‘game.’ He or she could give Huvane a run for his money.
Yup!
