Why not?

When Blake Lively shoves them into a strapless Alexander McQueen for an AMFAR gala, you really don’t have a choice. It’s like refusing an appetiser when the hostess went to all the trouble to make the crust on those salmon rolls all light and fluffy. (Day 3 of my cleanse, all I can think about is food. Even chicken, and I hate chicken.)

They call her one of the most stylish girls on the scene. I’m not sure how this qualifies.

As we approach hiatus for television, though her name is constantly coming up for every big project that’s announced, Blake has yet to book her next film job. And you know she’s been trying. The summer months are when she’s released from Gossip Girl to expand that part of her resume. Would have been ideal then if she’d been chosen to play Daisy in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, said to start shooting in June IF and only IF Baz decides to go ahead with it. He’s being rather precious about drawing out his deliberation.

Contrary to rumours, Blake will not be playing “young” Carrie Bradshaw. Please. I think we’re all in agreement on that one. But I will piss you off and tell you that if they were to cast Wonder Woman?

I could handle Blake Lively as Wonder Woman.

Oh no I didn’t.

We’re fighting, aren’t we?
