'Gossip Girl' Blake Lively and Leighton Meester Guest-Starring in '30 Rock'Both young actresses will play Liz Lemon's high-school friends during a flashback episode. Having the privilege of presenting many guest stars, NBC's "30 Rock" makes use of the "Gossip Girl" popularity by signing in two of its cast for a cameo. Blake Lively and Leighton Meester who play Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf respectively will appear on the comedy show as guest-stars. Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello revealed exclusively that both stars have closed the deal for a November episode. Roles that they will be playing are the high-school mates of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) who will support the insight to Lemon's place in the community while a student. A source told EW that Lemon was a popular girl in her high school days, very much like a Mean Girls -type of bully. The flashback is brought in the episode where Liz attends her 20-year high school reunion, meaning there will be the adult versions of Lively and Meester's characters. Words are rive that Blake's older sister Robyn Lively is in talks to tackle the adult role. Earlier this month, Jennifer Aniston was confirmed to make a cameo as Jack Donaghy's (Alec Baldwin) stalker, while Oprah Winfrey was said to be in negotiations to play herself. The new season of "30 Rock" will air on October 30. Source

Blake Lively Denies Drama On 'Gossip Girl' Set
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- They may play catty BFFs on The CW hit show "Gossip Girl," but in real life, Blake Lively denies there is any off-screen drama with her co-star, Leighton Meester.
"I've never really had a competitive relationship in any work situation," Blake told W magazine's December issue about reports she and Leighton are frenemies in real life. "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."
Though she could do without the tabloid tales, Blake said she is loving playing Serena van der Woodsen on "Gossip Girl." And one of the added bonuses is she gets to keep some of the clothes and accessories her Upper East Side teenage high school character wears.
"I probably have, like, 60 gorgeous bags," Blake said of her job perks. "I have a closet with my really sharp, fancy, nice ones -- the ones that go with my Valentino pumps, for example. And then I have a closet with the ones that are a little more rugged-feeling, the kind that go with my Belstaff motorcycle boots."
Though she's happily living in Manhattan, playing one of the lead characters on a popular show, Blake is continuing to take on movie roles. She scored a hit twice over in "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1 & 2," and now has two new films on the horizon, including "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" and "Elvis and Anabella," the latter of which saw her engage in a weight loss regime for the role.
"I play a beauty queen who died of bulimia," Blake said. "But beauty queens are still very toned. So I lost weight, but I got toned. It was the healthiest I've ever been. I just made chicken breasts from Whole Foods on a George Foreman Grill, with asparagus and broccoli."

Gossip Girl Vacillates Between homosexual and StraightJosh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, Gossip Girl’s creators and executive producers, were at the Apple store in SoHo, NYC on Tuesday to talk about their hit CW show. According to Nylon, Josh said, “We’re not doing things according to the books anymore. Because in the books, each character turns homosexual and then straight like ten times. I don’t think the CW would be really into that… actually, neither would most of the actors.” Alright, not ten times. How about five then? Josh also mentioned Michelle Tractenberg, aka bad girl Georgina Sparks, would be back. “It’s safe to say you haven’t seen the last of her,” he admitted. We sort of hate Georgia Sparks but sort of love Michelle Tractenberg, so that sounds like a mixed bag to us.” EW also reports that Laura Breckenridge (Related) is joining the cast as Rachel Carr, the new English teacher at Constance Billard who doesn’t’ get along with Blair (Leighton Meester).
