'Gossip Girl' Blake Lively begs the question "What was she thinking?" when she chose to wear this Vena Cava maxi dress at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in New York City. The plunging neckline does nothing to distract us from the too-short length and the ho-hum shoe choice for the evening. Find out why Vanessa Minnillo, the Kardashian girls and more received citations this week in AOL TV's fashion patrol.

Blonde bombshell Blake Lively graces the cover of W magazine this month, and she's putting those pesky rivalry rumors to rest. Although it's easy to speculate that she and 'Gossip Girl' co-star Leighton Meester are at odds because their characters often are, Blake says its simply not true.

"I've never really had a competitive relationship in any work situation," she tells the fashion magazine. "The media is always trying to pit us against each other, I guess because it's just not interesting to say, 'Everyone gets along; everybody just works 18-hour days and goes home to sleep.' That's not fun to read, I guess."

The December issue of W magazine is on stands now. Read more from the Blake's interview on Wmagazine.com.

'Gossip Girl' star Blake Lively is on the cover of three magazines this month (whew!), but according to Page Six, the 20-year-old actress isn't psyched about all of them.

Michelle Trachtenberg is the newest addition to the 'Gossip Girl' cast, and her character, Georgina Sparks, has definitely been causing quite a stir at the Upper West Side prep.

Another bonus of being on the hit CW series is making friends with her co-stars, including Blake Lively. "A lot of my scenes are with her, so she was the one that I talked to most, and we spent the most time together," she says. "But we all hang out on the weekends as well, so that's nice."

And how does Michelle feel about kissing Blake's real-life boyfriend Penn Badgely? "It's always weird kissing a co-star that you aren't in a relationship with."

Just like their 'Gossip Girl' characters, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley are one hot couple. Lately, the two have been dodging rumors about their relationship, but People has snapped the lovebirds smooching and canoodling during a romantic weekend in Mexico.
