Maple Leaf Pregnant Blake every day Seems like it, non? That we’re seeing a lot of Blake Lively lately. Oh. And have you heard? She’s pregnant. Here she is with Ryan Reynolds last night at the Angel Ball in New York doing a great job of not belly-cupping. It’s about as intimate as By Lainey • Oct 21, 2014 09:22 am
Maple Leaf Ryan Reynolds’s Walk of Fame Ryan Reynolds was also honoured at Canada’s Walk of Fame on Saturday in Toronto. His mother was with him at the ceremony. I quite like the blue shirt and the bow tie. Very handsome. Everyone was wondering whether or not Blake Lively would accompany him to the event. She By Lainey • Oct 20, 2014 11:20 am
Maple Leaf Blake’s first bump carpet Blake Lively was posing real hard at the Golden Heart Awards last night in New York. It was her first carpet since she announced her pregnancy. And it’s her first carpet since Gawker sh-t on her for the Allure of the Antebellum. Click here for a refresher. That post By Lainey • Oct 17, 2014 12:46 pm
Girly Throw Downs I Do Declare I don’t know much about Southern Belles (besides what I learned from watching Designing Women), but yesterday I wrote about a Preserve post titled “The Allure of Antebellum” (click here for a refresher). I called the piece tone deaf, but Gawker threw down a firmer approach, including clearly marked By Maria • Oct 15, 2014 09:42 am
Maple Leaf Blake’s Bountiful Womb Blake Lively and her artisanal fetus (thank you Michael K at Dlisted) are all over Preserve right now – first, with the announcement and now with Bringing Up Baby, a post all about… huh?

Baby and Bump Obsession Celebrities are considerate: Ryan Reynolds edition Blake Lively just announced that she’s pregnant for Ryan Reynolds. And there are new photos of Ryan Reynolds. It’s so considerate when they do this, celebrities, non? When they appear, accidently of course, to be papped, just so we have new pictures to attach to our blog stories.

Baby and Bump Obsession Blake Lively is a belly-cupper You can predict who’ll be a belly-cupper and who won’t be. Like if and when Carey Mulligan gets pregnant for Marcus Mumford? She won’t belly-cup. Keira Knightley? No way. Emma Stone? I can’t see it. Kaley Cuoco? Please. No question. Definitely a belly-cupper. There are a By Lainey • Oct 06, 2014 09:20 am
Media Manipulation Blake Lively > Johnny Depp? It was announced last month that Johnny Depp’s Mortdecai would be released in February – click here for a refresher. And then the trailer came out and, as Sarah pointed out, it made sense why they’d want to bury it there. Mortdecai looks like sh-t. Now they’ve moved By Lainey • Sep 25, 2014 11:45 am
Girly Throw Downs Who makes the best cupcakes? My friend Traci Melchor called it Blonde on Blonde Crime on The Social today. I call it White Girl Sh-t. You heard what Martha Stewart said about Gwyneth Paltrow? During an interview with Porter Magazine, Martha was asked about GOOP. Her assessment: “She just needs to be quiet.

Media Manipulation Blake’s FASHION Blake Lively covers the October issue of FASHION Magazine. The interview happened in May and, since she’s not promoting a film, we’re presumably here to care about Preserve, aka the Blake Lively lifestyle or the website that’s so dark it gives you a headache. So. You can’ By Lainey • Sep 08, 2014 12:11 pm
Blake Lively Oh Gosh, Blake Lively Blake Lively covers the new issue of MARIE CLAIRE. Everything you expect from a Blake Lively interview is here. She talks about food, a lot.

Try 5 minutes with Blake Lively Coinciding with the launch of Preserve, the Blake Lively Lifestyle, VOGUE has featured her in the latest installment of 73 Questions. It’s a continuous shot and, obviously, the questions were submitted in advance.

Blake Lively Blake Lively’s Preserve: a lifestyle analysis I’ve been so looking forward to the Preserve launch as I’ve worked in the digital lifestyle sphere for years, both as a freelance writer and in-house managing editor for Vitamin Daily.

Top Reads Blake’s 3rd VOGUE Here’s what I wrote when Lupita Nyong’o covered VOGUE earlier this summer: “As you know, VOGUE doesn’t put black women on the cover very often. And when they do, it’s Oprah, Michelle Obama, Halle Berry, Beyonce, Rihanna… Now Lupita who just won an Oscar. All accomplished By Lainey • Jul 18, 2014 10:06 am
Media Manipulation Preserve Blake Lively That’s the name of the Blake Lively Lifestyle, launching next week. Same as Prince Big G’s first birthday? Of course not.
