Blake Lively covers the October issue of 'Allure,' and in the interview she talks about having a life outside of acting, not wanting to be famous and her new Ben Affleck movie, 'The Town,' out Friday.



On her role in 'The Town':

This part was originally supposed to be for a 37-year-old woman--she's a mother--but when I read the script, I knew I had to have the part. It was selfish of me. I worried I would ruin it for other people. But I had to try it.



On wanting a family:

I want babies. Lots of babies. Of course!



On being insecure about her acting ability:

You make your mistakes on a bigger screen for everyone to see. I'd look at what we shot on a day and it was like, 'Oh, gosh, I'm terrible.'



On her goals beyond acting:

I want to have a brunch place, a bakery, and a Southern restaurant--because my family's from Georgia--and then I want a place that is all-over-the-world cuisine... I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it's the best way to get to know a culture. It's what people bring to the family every day, what they break bread over--it's a very intimate thing.



On boyfriend Penn Badgley:

Yeah, I don't comment on my relationships, so you can skip that one! My anonymity is something I treasure. Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.

"Gossip Girl" has no dearth of fashion, but it's about to up the glam ante this season.

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe will make a cameo in one of the show's upcoming episodes, as part of a storyline based on Blair Waldorf's (Leighton Meester) 20th birthday party, a source confirms to the Daily News.

"Rachel plays herself in the scene and has a handful of lines to remember,” the insider said, adding that designer Cynthia Rowley and Elle magazine's creative director, Joe Zee, will also make guests appearances in the same episode.


In town to attend New York Fashion Week, Zoe was reportedly able to squeeze some time into her busy schedule - which includes the Bravo reality series "The Rachel Zoe Project" - to shoot her small role at Silvercup Studios in Queens Tuesday morning.

Despite making her name as a stylist to the stars, Zoe has agreed to be dressed by the show's respected wardrobe department for her appearance, the insider adds.

Zoe's cameo is only the tip of the show's style iceberg this season.

"Gossip Girl" will also devote two September episodes to Fashion's Night Out, the recent multi-city charitable shopping event founded by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, to feature cameos by Vogue's European editor-at-large, Hamish Bowles, and contributing editor Lauren Santo Domingo.

Penn Badlgey insists his onscreen sister is just misunderstood and is acting like a typical teenager.



Taylor Momsen has been an active member of the Brat Pack in recent months, dissing other celebs like Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, chain-smoking cigarettes, admitting to burning her dog’s balls, calling her band, The Pretty Reckless, the last remaining ‘authentic’ rock group and has even said she doesn’t get along with her fellow Gossip Girl cast members! However, her onscreen big brother, Penn Badlgey, says that Taylor is totally misunderstood and simply acting her age!

“First of all, it’s not true that Taylor doesn't hang out with the rest of the cast,” Penn told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at In Touch Weekly’s post-VMAs party Sept. 12. “My girlfriend Blake Lively and I saw her the night she did Letterman, and we hung out with her in her hotel room. It was a very calm night – she wasn’t crazy partying or anything like that.

“Taylor’s a teenager, and teenagers go through what they’re going to go through,” he added. “It just so happens that she’s in the eye of the press, and I think that’s unfortunate, because everyone should be allowed to make their mistakes. I think it’s like, she’s 17. Give her time. She’s a really sweet girl, very smart, very talented. She’s just growing up.”

Penn is also supportive of Taylor’s future as a singer. “I saw her perform a year ago, but I haven’t seen her recently. She had a great presence [back then] and I think she’s very talented. She loves music, and as long as she’s doing what she loves, that’s something I respect.”
