Blake Lively is reportedly seeking a presenter slot at the Oscars

Blake Lively attended a screening of Haywire in NYC last night. Thank God Michael Fassbender wasn’t there, because I don’t even know what kind of hissy fit I would have if Fassy and Blake Lively were in the same contained place. I would just need to rip her hair out. It’s bad enough that she was in the same contained location as Ewan McGregor!!! What must Ewan think of Blake? He probably likes her. Dudes always like Blake. Anyway, we don’t have access to the red carpet photos – you can see them here. We only some photos of Blake leaving the screening, which I’ve included at the end of the post. I just really wanted to use the old “Chanel Ho” photo for the header.

As you can imagine, Blake did the appearance because she’s just signed on to Steven Soderbergh’s new film – how best to support your new director than by going to see his latest film? We discussed her Soderbergh film last week – she got the lead! And she’ll have to “act” too. Because Blake is a real actress! We’ll see about that, Lively. We’ll see.

I just had to mention this, though – Lainey at LaineyGossip says that Blake’s team has already been reaching out to Academy Awards producers for a possible presenting gig for Blake. Which… would be interesting. I’m surprised Blake didn’t angle herself at the Oscars last year, when The Town was up for a few awards? Maybe she tried to angle and failed – whatever happened, if Blake managed to get a presenter slot, it would be her first time at the Oscars. I have mixed feelings about Blake, totally, but I enjoy talking about her and speculating about her, so I would totally welcome this. I actively WANT to see Blake on the Oscars red carpet. I was to see what kind of assy, titsy crap she wears. Would she wear Marchesa?!?! Or Chanel? And if she presents, I want to see her paired with someone awful, like Bradley Cooper, and see her try to angle it into her advantage. I want to see Blake run into (possible nominee) Leonardo DiCaprio. See – Blake is good for ratings! They should just put a camera on her and I would watch the whole live feed.

    Might as well let the poor girl present an Oscar, it’s as close as she’ll ever get to the real thing.

  2. kieslowski says:

    Ugh no just no! She will get to present but someone talented like FELICITY JONES will be left out because she does not have the hussle and shamlessness of Lively. This is just irritating.

    • Tiffany27 says:

      Side note: Felicity Jones is devastatingly beautiful.

      • kieslowski says:

        Isn’t she!!! I was so happy she got the Dolce and GAbbana contract. She looked fantastic at the Golden Globes after parties in a white Valentino.

      • normades says:

        I haven’t seen jack all of Jones’ work but I’m excited about her as a “new starlet”.

  3. cmc says:

    And she could take Ryan as her date and we’ll get real, actual pictures of them as a couple! Yeah, I cosign this. Hope she gets a slot.

  4. Anna says:

    LOOL!! The Chanel HO picture is killing me. I hate this girl. I swear if she died it wouldn’t even phase me. I’d probably end up throwing a party. Horrible but the truth.

    • wtf? says:

      anna,,,i agree,,i don’t know why but she just irks the begeebus out of me….

      maybe because she puts her “slot” anywhere she can……

    • Sarko says:

      Woooooooooow
      My advice – Stop reading about her
      Get out more

    • Alyce says:

      What is wrong with people? She hasn’t actually even done anything to anyone and you are wishing her dead. She’s an actress, not a murderer or something. wtf?

    • baby says:

      dude, you’re scary. you are taking this wayyyy too seriously. throwing a party if she died? get a life!

      what did blake do to you to offend you so much?

      i get why people are rubbed the wrong way by her (like kaiser, i have mixed feelings on the girl), but this is getting really out of hand. all of the rumors are just that: rumors. stop slandering the girl. stop wishing her dead.

  5. whatevs says:

    her highly ambitious ways are not supported by her lack of talent. ugh.

  6. Original Chloe says:

    Blake, you should TOTALLY go straight for the Oscar.

  7. ellen says:

    I know nothing about her. Never watched anything she was on, but I gather from blogs she is super disliked. What’s the scoop?

    • katt says:

      she sleeps around to get roles (with married men), fronts as if she’s the next Meryl Streep and has a reputation for dating men to get ahead.

    • Gorry says:

      There’s no scoop she’s simply taken over amongst the sheeple from Sienna Miller as the ***** blonde to despise
      There is no lie, innuendo or rumor about her that can’t be taken as fact.

  8. brin says:

    Yeah, she’s bringing her A game hustle to the Oscars.

  9. S says:

    Hopefully in a few years she will be forgotten about.

    • Angelique says:

      I hope so

      I don’t see that attraction other people obviously see… No talent, no beauty

      But nice hair and legs

    • normades says:

      Doubt it, you can’t keep this girl down. In 5+ years she’ll either be an A-list actress or some pampered and papped hollywood wife.

      She’ll either be Goop or Jennifer Garner.

      • lu says:

        she doesn’t have the talent to be Gwyneth. I see her as taking more of a Katherine Heigl route.
        She’s a terrible dramatic actress, but I feel like she’d be great at comedy.

      • normades says:

        I tend to regard Goop’s oscar as a PR driven fluke. Cate shoulda won!

        And comedy is hard. I really can’t see Blake pulling it off.

  10. Gorry says:

    Lainey has been wrong about Blake sooooo many times its a wonder y’all keep using her as a biblical refernce.
    First Blake ad Ryan’ll never happen, she knows this exclusivey!
    Wrong
    In Dec Blake and Ryan ARE going to the GGs so he can promote his movie. Wrong!

    Now Blake is going to the Oscars? Her wishful thinking I guess

    As wrong as her call 2 days ago on Johnny Depp and Vanessa sill been ON1

    I have worked on the circuit and Blake is rather low key compared to other TV stars on the NY scene.

    I really believe the you guys blogs write about her incessantly even though she is relatively low key, simply because judging from the above posts she provides red meat to your site.
    Much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
    It works evidently!

    • kieslowski says:

      Gorry,

      Just for the record Lainey never said Jahnny and Vanessa are 100% fine she jsut said that based on the source (which was Star and Radar) she was not taking the story seriously, when it popped on People her analysis of the situation was Gossip brilliance.

      LAiney never said that Ryan and Blake would be at the Globes she just said that there is a strong possibility since he has a movie coming out in February.

      And Blake keeping a low profile come on now!! The “candids” in Utah, pssssh, the mentions in PAge Six. Not to mention the whole Leo affair (and how public it was) and then making sure everyone knows she “dumped” him for Reynolds.Nothing is low profile about this girl.

      • normades says:

        Blake keeping a low profile. Hahahahaha *wipes tears from eyes*

      • Gorry says:

        @Kieslowski she said she was 70% sure the story was BS
        And Yep. I sometimes collect images for work and Blake’s pics are actually few and far between bar Gossip Girl set shots
        It’s just Lainey and some are OBSESSED with her ( while ironically wishing her dead! How I miss the crew of Turtle Dove, Black Mamba, Lady Luck at least they were witty) EVERY PIC OF HER SELLS.
        @Normades We have loads more pictures of your favourite Mila Kunis out and about but I guess this makes her a famew**** too. No? I thot not.
        The Ben Affleck b-day story was in US Weekly and ONTD, but I guess it doesn’t fit the narrative so you’ll call it *****
        LAINEY is the chief offender she breaks out in hives if she does not mention Blake once a week.
        Long before Leo and Blake had broken up she claimed Ryan was not interested, at the same time Blake was badgering Leo to take her to the Oscars! Until the story broke that BLEO had been over for a month
        Then suspected Blake did not attend TIFF sans warning, cos of Leo. Never mind that several Canadian websites had already announced that she and most of the Hick cast were not going to be there in the first place she simply turned the tale around as Blake possibly off to Australia to look like she’s in the know.
        Ditto your claims that Blake told Lainey, I guess you were privy to the convo she dumped Leo!
        Almost everyone else was able to deduce that Lainey was ticked off that she had made a wrong call and considering how she always writes love letters about Canandians ( shes the only one that believes Ryan G and Eva M are real love while trashing Bradely C and Zoe Saldana). She rejigged the story to make Ryan R look like the hero rather than second choice and pretend that was the plan she was in on it all along!
        She’s witty, great to read and does get stuff spot on. But unlike you I also know she can be full of BS.
        We’ll see how true her Oscar story is. Of course if Blake is a no show she can claim they nixed her as opposed to it been made up.
        Ah well gossip is a buffet and as long as it slams Blake its true right?
        Well I’m out

      • kieslowski says:

        @Gorry,

        Please do not take this seriously it’s only gossip – you know fun, I am not an insider by any means just an observer.

        I never said Blake told Lainey anything that would be ridiculous, so I kind of don’t get why you said that.

        It’s obvious you are a fan or in some way work for her or her team, I don;t know.

        I’m glad you brought up Mila and just llok at how her PR team handles her vs Blakes’s team I mean come on.

        I get that you like her but it;s kind of pointless to argue that Blake keeps a low profile when that is not the case at all.

        Oh and I don’t consider LAiney gospel just fun to read – that’s all.

      • normades says:

        Gorry:

        “Keeping a low profile” doesn’t mean staying at home and baking cupcakes while you call the paps to your sister’s B&B. Mila has a life and goes out, that’s all.

        Funny you should mention Turtle Dove. She’s one of my favorite posters too. I think TD finds Blake amusing, but isn’t a fan. I wrote some anti-Blake stuff in the following CB post which she seconded with a “here, here”

        http://www.celebitchy.com/195139/blake_lively_wants_to_marry_ryan_reynolds_but_he_feels_smothered/

        Also TD wrote this line: “Blake fits in the traditional sense of liking to cook, etc. but she’s rumored (emphasis) to f*ck for jobs and hustles for media attention (FACT that we can all see).”

        So TD sees Blake as a fameho too. (TD if you’re reading this sorry to drag your name into this. Come back, we miss you!).

        If I don’t like Blake, that’s my perogative! We all have one that rubs us the wrong way. But while I don’t think she’s very pretty or talented, I have never said she was on the casting couch or other nasty rumors like that.

        And that b-day story was Starmag btw. So yeah, I call BS.(I don’t read USweekly print and found no mention of it on their website).

  11. I.want.shoes says:

    I love the “CHANEL HO” pic!!!!

  12. Ron says:

    Why not campiagn for a presenters slot? I would if I were her. It’s great exposure. And, for those of you who think only a few select people in hollywood suck up and sleep around to get ahead, you are wrong. Unless you have famous parents who did it before you, you have to what you have to do to get ahead in this town. no judgement.

    • Gorry says:

      Ron,

      You make good points but where is this proof that makes Blake singled out?
      Ben Affleck is allegedly a cheat but where is the proof he did it with Lively? She was supposdly invited 39th his b-day party FFS! Jen G don’t play if it were true Lively would be NOWHERE near their home.
      Every blonde starlet from Gwyneth, Sienna is accused of trading favours with Weinstein (Yuck). Blake hasn’t starred in his movies in fact most of her directors have been women I guess she banged them too!

      • normades says:

        Actually it’s the birthday party story I don’t believe. I think it was a starmag story, so no truth there (but please feel free to prove me wrong).
        Weinstein loooves Blake. He tried to make her and Gosling happen. I love that blind that is supposed to be about her and him where the big shot producer wants to sleep with the blond starlet but she keeps getting away. But they are tight. She keeps wearing his wife’s ugly Mar-cheese-a stuff.

  13. Opera says:

    Duh,she’s like the Uglier Trashier version of Grace Kelly.
    Sleep with anyone mostly married man to get a role.
    At least grace is pretty and smarter.

    • neelyo says:

      Actually Opera, when Grace Kelly was in Hollywood she slept with several married men. I can think of Bing Crosby and Gary Cooper offhand.

  14. neelyo says:

    There’s always at least one questionable starlet presenter, usually for the Technical Awards (‘a few weeks ago I had the honor of attending this ceremony… blah3). So why not Blake?

  15. Emily says:

    I think I love her for the same reasons that I love Stacy Keibler and Pippa Middleton. As far as celebrity gossip goes, these girls are basically my guilty pleasures.

    Why am I cheering for these peoople?????

  16. Madison says:

    Nothing wrong with Blake’s team trying to get her on the list as a presenter at the oscars. If those other talentless former TV actresses like jessica biel, jennifer garner, jessica alba can attend and present at the oscars so can Blake, you go girl!

  17. Kathy says:

    I sincerely don’t mean this as a slam to her, but in the cover photo for this article (not any of the ones listed here) there is something about her smile and the way her head is tilted that makes her look a lot like the actor Ben McKenzie (Southland). Does anyone else see the similiarity? Like they could be brother and sister. Weird, I know, but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw her pic.

    A little like this one: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_zs3mGOlBiY/TixiKDLx9SI/AAAAAAAAAME/PODLJKJOiEo/s1600/BEN+MCKENZIE.jpg

  18. Jover says:

    I agree anna a poser in front of the legendary brand; what’s up with that pic – she looks like a gremlin heads too big for the body. Btw, is that GG even on anymore haven’t heard much about it. You are right in a way madison, but wow, hollywood glamour has completely collapsed this is an ordinary mall girl i see everyday and I’m sure others on this site agree.

  19. Anne says:

    What would Blake do there? Surely a classy stint like the Oscars would have a no solicitation rule?

  20. Kim says:

    Like the rest of her career “advancement” im sure she’ll find the right person to sleep with to get a spot.

  21. Agnes says:

    What is that atrocity of a dress that she’s wearing in the Chanel Ho picture! My god. I feel like I’ve been kicked in the eyes.

  22. Petunia says:

    She looks like a Munchkin in that Chanel dress.

  23. Alyce says:

    This site has turned me into a Blake fangirl just because so many of you hate her. And I mean HATE (see wishing her dead comment 4). Y’all need to chill!

    • kimberly says:

      What is your favorite piece of work performed by Blake?

      While there’s some people here who love to hate, others have an opinion of her talent. I personally thinks she wastes her time on boys and needs to take further acting classes to be the sort of actress she pretends she is. I’ve seen her “serious” movies and she was the weakest link in the acting, and continues to be so.

      I understand the need to be a person who goes against the wave, but in this case a bad actress is a bad actress. That’s the way it is until she decides to work on her craft.

      • Alyce says:

        As far as acting goes, she’s not Meryl Streep, but she was really good in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (I haven’t seen the Town).

        I don’t mind the “I’m annoyed because she doesn’t have talent” comments, what bothers me is the “she is the nastiest whore and I want her dead” comments. It is getting worse and worse.

  24. normades says:

    Sorry, I’m all over this post cause Blake is the gal we love to hate-on! Keep it coming girl, keep it coming…

    • Q says:

      Naaaaaaah speak for yourself and these guys.
      Us fans like Hautie, Victoria, Lady Luck, ml786 are simply not here often that’s all. And reading this stuff I cna see why!!!!

      • normades says:

        I am speaking for myself.

        I don’t get this lumping of posters together like Gorry did above to try to prove a point. I have certain posters I prefer too, but I don’t use them to slam other commentators. It’s mean-girling imo.

        And you’ll never see me on a Brandi Granville or Real housewives thread. We gravitate towards the stories and stars that interest us. So while I am not pro-Blake I do love her in a way because I find her so entertaining. Wishing death is tots extreme so I hope that the poster was kidding there.

  25. kimberly says:

    This, and she, is just ridiculous! I mean she is NOT talented, she’s only pretty. She has no acting range and simply talks lines while looking pretty. Her choice of characters in her movies are too obvious and unimaginative, boring. She should take notes from better actresses who started in the indie world to learn more about acting. If she continues to be too lazy to do the work, and needs a break from fucking her way onto movie sets, she could always use her short attention span to watch youtube clips.

  26. Elle says:

    I hate this bitch.

  27. It is ME!! says:

    Wishing someone dead….well, that is extreme. I’m not a Blake fan, because I don’t think she can act, and it annoys me to no end that she gets pushed as some sort of beauty. (Plus, IIRC, her family is well known in Hollywood, and I have a feeling nepotism helped her get her foot in the door.)

    But what she does doesn’t have any bearing on my life whatsoever, so if she wants to present an Oscar, then fine. I agree with whoever said that that is the closest she’ll ever get to one.

  28. bob says:

    I love how people name one movie that she was possibly good in. She can not act.
