Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio have split following five months of togetherness.

The pretty pair were first photographed aboard Steven Spielberg‘s yacht in May during the Cannes Film Festival with Lively and DiCaprio taking romantic strolls throughout Europe.

The 24 year-old Gossip Girl star made at least one trip down under to hang with the 36 year-old actor as he filmed Baz Lurhman‘s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Lively was thought to be the frontrunner to land the role of Daisy in the flick until Carey Mulligan was cast.

A source told People magazine the breakup was “amicable.”

Lively didn’t stay out of the spotlight long. The Savages actress was spotted with her Green Lantern costar Ryan Reynolds in Boston, riding the train together and grabbing sushi at O Ya restaurant.

Blake Lively brought a citrus kick to the Teen Choice Awards 2011 that took place in Universal City, California’s Gibson Amphitheatre on Sunday, August 7th.

The 23 year-old star chose a fitted orange leather dress with short sleeves and slim matching belt from Gucci Resort 2012 collection. Lively accented the look with leopard print pumps from Christian Louboutin with gold and turquoise drop earrings.

Lively’s fashion choice of a juicy mandarin colored frock against the blue background was inspired.

Blake, who spent the day with boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio in L.A., took two surfboards home: one for Choice TV Actress Drama and the second for Gossip Girl Choice TV Show Drama.

Blake Lively was among the privileged group of celebrities who got to rub elbows with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the BAFTA Brits To Watch Gala last night.    She wore a very elegant, one-shoulder, draped and embroidered gown by Marchesa for the occasion.  I love this dress.  It’s absolutely beautiful.  But in my humble opinion, it is not a good look for Blake.  It makes her look ten years older than she is, which is a problem, because she’s already looking quite a bit older than her 23 years to begin with.  You gotta stay out of the sun, Blake dear… and try a little less makeup too.  No need to cake it on like that at your age!

Keeping her clothes on (and a quite beautiful dress, for sure) Blake Lively arrives to Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles for the premiere of Green Lantern.

Lively, 24, who has had massive amounts of press in the past few weeks for a nude photo scandal (her reps denied it was her and then seemed to clam up after the second wave of pics hit) and a new boyfriend in Leonardo DiCaprio, she works the red carpet expertly in a fabulous white gown with floral appliques and sheer skirt from the Chanel Spring 2009 Couture line. Love the bright blonde highlights framing her face and toning down the red shade of hair she had.

The actress kept talk away from all things she didn’t want to talk about, but was willing to fess up to trying to lure Ryan Reynolds over to the sweet side.

“I would cook for the entire crew and I would try to lure him into eating some of the treats,” she told Us Weekly at the film’s L.A. premiere Wednesday. “Cupcake lollipops, fresh candies, homemade caramel and marshmallows covered in chocolate — stuff like that.”

Oh Blake.

So many people become famous or infamous for ‘leaked’ nude photos or sex tapes and no one seems to feel any remorse about it but Reese Witherspoon wants women to think about what they’re doing for the sake of fame.

The actress was the recipient of MTV’s Generation Award at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards and in her acceptance speech, she took a swipe at women like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Blake Lively, all of whom have had sex tapes and/or photos released or star in a reality show.

“I get it, girls, that it’s cool to be a bad girl,” the Water For Elephants star told the crowd. “But it is possible to make it in Hollywood without doing a reality show. When I came up in this business, if you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed.”

“And if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone, you hide your face, people! Hide your face!” Witherspoon continued.

She ended with her own story and how she wants women to aspire to more than just fame – dignity.

“For all the girls out there, it’s totally possible to be a good girl,” she said. “I’m going to try to make it cool.”

Since Hilton and Kardashian have all made millions after those tapes were released and Lively’s career probably won’t take a hit, Witherspoon is swimming upstream but it’s a good battle to wage.

Brightening up the press room, Blake Lively skipped the red carpet (and therefore those nasty nude photo scandal questions) at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles.

The Gossip Girl star wore a modest vivid blue Michael Kors dress with side sheer panels and grape colored suede heels. The outfit showed off her killer figure but she was still covered.

Lively, 25, star was a presenter with Green Lantern costar Ryan Reynolds for the Best Kiss Award to Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Is it or isn’t it Blake Lively?

After yesterday’s strong rejection by her representatives that the nude photos floating around the web purporting to be the Gossip Girl star were her, another round of photos from the hacker is circulating, in part because the denial angered him/her.

Seventeen more photos have now surfaced online with the hacker taunting Lively and her people.

Posted with the pics was this message: “Oh, yes, Blake’s rep. These are totally fake.  We really, really believe you.  Want moar?  BTW, thanks for all the faps.”

The 23 year-old star’s people continue to deny the photos as authentic but more people are raising questions.

In some of the photos small star shaped tattoos are shown on the woman (who’s face is obscured) and they are similar to those worn by Blake in her movie The Town.

TMZ has posted a side-by-side comparison shot where you can see the small star tattoo in both the leaked photo and a still from the movie.

Lively is still overseas with her new rumored boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio and while she isn’t enjoying the photo scandal – I’m sure being able to be with Leo has to help.

Donning a sparkling Michael Kors tunic dress (what!? not Chanel?) Blake Lively is the (clothed) cover girl for Glamour magazine’s July issue.

Interviewed by Florence Welch of Florence and The Machine, she gave up the deets on why she isn’t on twitter, her Chanel gig and being her own stylist:

Twitter is so not happening: “People ask me why I don’t tweet. Honestly, I’m so sick of myself.”

No stylist need apply, thank you very much: “I think I became my own stylist by not knowing any better. And once I was told it was time to get one, I thought: This is one of my favorite hobbies! And I’m going to pay someone to steal my hobby from me? That’s a terrible idea!”

Her Chanel Handbag gig is awesome: “It’s such an honor. When I found out I got [the job], you [Welch] and I went to dinner and concocted this plan, like two little girls at a tea party, saying, “Oh, it would be the best if we had a party. And you’ll perform, and we’ll do it in Paris.” Like you and I were in charge of Chanel!”

Everyone is searching the web for Blake Lively‘s supposed nude photos however, a representative for the actress says they simply are not her.

“The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites including Perez Hilton and Zap2it are 100 percent fake,” her rep says.

The Gossip Girl star, 23, is furious about the photos and the legal eagles are on the case.

“Blake has never taken nude photos of herself. Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner.”

The photos show a nude blonde woman (who does look a lot like Lively a few years ago) photographing herself in a mirror with her iPhone but the lawyers are adamant the pics are photoshopped and not authentic.

Blake has a new film, The Green Lantern, due out June 17th and a new boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, whom she is strolling hand in hand with in France.
