Solange I comment on what I observe here on Bellazon and everyone knows here that I'm not one given to argument, I've just observed the slight digs and the unflattering articles here and there towards Blake. Yes, Leo does get an article posted here now and then but then he has you all jump to his defense while Blake does not have that luxury when articles unflattering to her are especially because we don't want it to devolve into this exact situation. I share the same sentiment with Nanda and from now on won't comment on Blake on here or Leo's personal life for that matter. That was just something I needed to get off my chest, and I'm glad I did. And on that note, kinda excited and scared at the same time for the first J. Edgar tweets! More positive vibes being sent out right now... let's get em Leo. The Oscar's calling your name

Lol, that's kinda funny. Leo will still be #1 at the box office either way... sweet!!

Oxford, no one's commenting on their relationship or what might or might not have gone on behind there. I'm just saying Blake fans have ascribed some respect to Leo and all his fans- all you fab ladies (and gents?) here especially by not posting negative articles which we can prove to be untrue. We have been nothing but gracious and the fact is many of us became Leo fans as well because of the relationship. Now I know Blake doesn't have as many or as vocal fans as Leo but at least here on BZ can't we be accorded that same respect by not posting negative and untrue articles about Blake. She's not made a twitter or spoken to a tabloid about anything, she's shown nothing but dignity and put on a brave face through the break up even she's been papped. What gives for the sly digs at her?

This tweeter just posted this sighting: Quick! What male celebrity lives in FL that we can link her with? Matt Damon? Yes! *Blake Lively Having An Affair With Matt Damon- What A Homewrecking Slut!*

Yet the nasty articles about Leo aren't posted on here because we know they are preposterous enough to be untrue. Why can't that same discretion be afforded to Blake because that article certainly did not post her in a positive light. As to your second point, you can go through Blake's thread, no one's ever said anything nasty about Leo or posted any of the nasty rumors or the Aussie articles written about him because we know them to be untrue. And I know it's gonna stay that way. We love Blake, we love Leo, we loved their relationship together however long it lasted, we've been nothing but gracious since it ended and do not see the need to introduce negative and untrue articles to mar that. It'd be nice to be accorded the same respect. I think with the amount of sightings we on Bellazon get, we do tend to know stuff before the media and we've been able to prove or disprove stuff based on that timeline. We knew when the media carried all that stuff from Now Magazine that it wasn't true since they had been spotted in Santa Barbara, we also knew they were in Carmel before the media did. Yes it is hard to believe these reporters especially those from magazines that have proven unreliable (Life&Style, OK!, Star, Now, Grazia etc) but I think we have a basis for saying some things are categorically true or untrue and we have done so in the past, especially since we actually follow these celebs much more closely and our posts don't consist of creatively (little) fact and (mostly) fiction.

^Agreed with everything you said JouJou. And yes the slippery slope. It's exactly the same slippery slope that happened with that Now Magazine BS too. I'm so over it. Sorry if I have it seems like I have a short fuse today, I'm just really over all the BS She's like the cleanest celeb ever and people keep trying to drag her name into the mud and because she doesn't ever comment on her personal life much less deny the rumors, people believe it.

What's the point of posting articles that have been denied as false by the reps and whose authenticity can be denied by the information we have here on BZ? Not trying to censor anyone's speech, but what is the point? That article makes Blake out to be a cheater which is obviously untrue.

I'm thinking either her team should wait it out until something more interesting comes up in the news cycle or they should release casting information that could/would eclipse all this talk about her love life.

What else would you have her do Kat? This just reminds me of when Now Magazine reported her and Leo had broken uo because Irmelin didn't like Blake and it was carried by all the blogs until E!News, ET and all those reported it as well. Turns out? It wasn't true. Their reps didn't feel the need to comment on it either because the truth would eventually come out. Now we have a report originating from Hollywoodlife which is about on par if not a cut above Now, E!News is reporting it as fact and guess what? The truth's gonna come out on this one too. It's sad that she's having to deal with this but we as fans just need to support and defend her. Blake has always brought the page hits and views (and hate) for gossip sites/networks so all this heat is just a result of that.

JouJou ^Agreed, it seems we've given Leo a pass and the benefit of the doubt but can't seem to extend the courtesy to Blake as well. She's a woman, what else is new? I like how calm and composed she's stayed through all this, it obviously can't be easy on her breaking up with your boyfriend and then having stuff like the Grazia and OK! covers come out and people believing it (and the worst about her) indiscriminately. Her rep has issued 2 denials, there's not been a pic, the E! news source was Hollywoodlife which isn't exactly reliable... what else can she do? Gelling You'll come to realize as a Blake fan that there's no catching a break from anywhere or for anything- Bar fans, Leo fans, JJ commenters, Leighton stans, Laineygossip readers, NYmag commenters & editors, Dlisted writer & commenters, ONTD, TFS etc etc... she can't seem to do anything right. It's hard at first, but I'm over it.

Barbie, I LOVE that .gif of Leo you have as your avi And yeah, sending nothing but positive vibes to Leo, Clint and the entire cast of J. Edgar today.

^Yeah, I read an international brand marketer/expert's tweet a while ago saying Blake and Lady Gaga were their current biggest celeb exports in Japan, dunno how true that is but seeing how she got 5 Japanese covers just last month, I'm sure it's not too far-fetched. Anyway: Love their friendship. Hopefully we get some pics

That's from Nymag.com, they love to hate her on that site (both the editors and the commenters) but they can't keep her down. She's only gonna get bigger and better I wonder how many other roles she gets offered that she can't take because of her Gossip Girl commitments or simply because she's not interested or because she feels it's not a good fit that we never hear about. There's also this from an interview this summer: Glad to see she's still at the upper echelon of actresses in her age group and that she's so selective of her roles. Shows she really cares about her career since she's cultivated herself and her image to this point.

Good question

Here's a tweet from a make-up artist who's also the US brand ambassador for Chanel, here's a link to her Models.com page, based on her past work she's freaking major: So does this mean we might be getting a new campaign (or cover) soon? Can't freaking wait!! I really hope it's for Chance Eau Tendre since perfume campaigns tend to be more iconic. Also what happened to this? It's from a July interview and the campaign should have been out by now: I'm starving for professional (whether fashion or movie) Blake news.

Promo for the next episode:

From today:

Gelling Agreed about the dinner thing. I've bounced that thought as well. Valentina Thanks for the pics, love the one of her and Leighton staring Penn down like they're about to beat him up Love this interview of her at Letterman, very charming:

^Agreed, I genuinely liked her with Leo in a way that I never liked her and Penn together. They were so oddly compatible and their personalities/lifestyles surprisingly different but complimentary to each other that it came as a shock to me as well. They obviously had an issue or two (that we'll never know about ) that they felt would work against them in a relationship and quit while ahead. Nothing wrong with that and it was very very much fun while it lasted. Leighton Meester fans ruin EVERYTHING and I generally like Leighton. I can't even stand GG because of all the Chair vs Dair nonsense that's going on now, and it seems like I'm not the only one since the ratings are going down the shitter. To them, every news about Blake is PR, what they don't realize is that outside of their insular communities online, people care more about Blake the person. It helps that she is generally more interesting/awesome than the character she plays on the show. Yesss Sannei, I can't wait for more casting info. As a Blake fan, I live for the surprises when it comes to casting but they are so far in between . I've been looking for more stuff about Savages but can't find anything for now. Wonder when the first trailer will drop. If they're going to Cannes, I'm gandering either December/January (Oscar season) also because that's when the trailer for Wall Street 2 dropped and it had a similar opening weekend or around March at the latest.
