Shove a cheek, Misha Barton – there’s a new “it” girl in town!

Twenty-year-old ‘Gossip Girl’ star Blake Lively offers up some refreshingly candid quotes in the November issue of CosmoGIRL!

Blake on becoming a Hollywood star overnight: “It is a crazy and completely insane business. I’ll go to an event wearing some designer gown and tens of thousands of dollars in jewels that were lent to me for the night, and I’ll walk around and meet people who I always thought were such a big deal…Stars really are like anyone else. At the end of the day, Brad Pitt poops–as handsome as he may be–and so does Angelina Jolie. I’m still baffled by how odd this job is.”

Blake on Hollywood’s “bad girls: “I think some people who bash on the girls in Hollywood who are struggling with addiction or going into rehab aren’t being totally fair; it’s not solely their fault. When you don’t have someone to model yourself after, you’re going to make mistakes. There’s no one there to tell them what’s right or wrong or who is a positive example.”

Blake on her celebrity crushes: “As a kid, I had a huge crush on Leonardo DiCaprio and, oh my gosh, Justin Timberlake. They were the two I can really think of just being completely in love with.”

Blake on what she’d be doing, if not acting: “I’d be doing something like Martha Stewart. I love planning and throwing parties. If I ever met Martha, I think I’d cry.”
