Here goes another celebrity who fell victim to her own fame. There are now nude photos of Blake Lively which surfaced on the internet today.

Check them if you want here: http://unratedperez.com/2011-05-31-gossip-girl-star-blake-lively-rocked-by-naked-photos-leak





There's nothing else to really say about this, but Blake's publicist Leslie Sloan claims the photos are fake, YES 100% FAKE. Blake claims she has never taken naked photos of herself [really?!]. Most of the pictures are of the "starlet" concealed by the phone, and with Blake's blooming career and "budding romance" with Leonardo DiCaprio, there's no denying her life is on the fast track. I guess we'll see where this pans out, but when does nude photos go anything but boost a celebs career?

Snubbed Stateside: Former Frasier star Jane Leeves says Cheryl Cole's success at home means nothing in Hollywood


Cheryl Cole has this week learned just how brutal the American showbiz industry can be.

There are few female British stars who have made it big Stateside - Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren and Keira Knightly among them.

Former Frasier star Jane Leeves is also among the select group, and has admitted even she was clueless as to who Cheryl Cole was.


'People in the US haven’t a clue who Cheryl is,' the 50-year-old says. 'I actually asked someone: "Is she a pop star?"

'Yes, she is a huge star in the UK, but nobody knows her here.'

'I do have ­sympathy for English people coming over to America,' Jane tells today's Daily Mirror.

Star: Jane (far left) became a household name starring as Daphne Moon on long-running sitcom Frasier


'I went over when I was young and stupid, but now ­English ­people come over when they are ­already ­successful in ­Britain. It is so much harder for them. They don’t have the time to pursue things.'

The Sussex-raised actress moved to LA when she was 21, and worked for over a year selling souvenirs as she attended acting school and auditions.

She eventually won a small part on Murphy Brown before landing her big break as Daphne Moon on the hit sitcom Frasier.

'It is a fickle business': Jane says she 'has sympathy' for British stars like Cheryl who find it tough to break the U.S. market


'It is a fickle business, but I have worked very hard,' she tells the paper. 'I have always been a hard worker. You have to have faith it will work out.

'Now when I look back at my younger self, I think, "My god, I was brave", but I’d never want to change ­anything because it’s been so fantastic.'

Jane is starting work on a new sitcom, Hot In Cleveland, co-starring Betty White, Wendie Mallick and Valerie Bertinelli, and says she finds it refreshing that none of the stars have succumbed to Hollywood pressure to go under the knife.

Jane is now starring in Hot In Cleveland with Betty white, Wendie Mallick and Valerie Bertinelli


None of us have been injected or pushed from pillar to post – and that is extremely rare in America.

'As an actress, it seems such a bizarre thing to do to yourself by pretty much ­immobilising your face.

'You can tell when someone has done it. I admire women who haven’t.'

Riviera style: Kim Kardashian shows off her $2million engagement ring and a purple playsuit as she prepares to board a boat in Monaco


With a new $2million engagement ring on her finger, Kim Kim Kardashian has to make sure her outfits look equally as glamorous.

So the socialite made sure she look super chic as she showed off her own nautical style as she boarded a yacht in Monaco.

The reality TV star displayed her famous curves in a figure-hugging purple playsuit and bronze accessories as she and fiancé Kris Humphries jumped on a speedboat out to their yacht.


Hoping to catch a candid romantic snap of the newly-engaged couple, the 30-year-old was seen pouting for the camera.

But it appears something had caught Humphries' attention so he wasn't a willing participant for her photo.

The couple, who have only been dating six months, arrived in Monaco late last week.

'Come on Kris, pose': Kardashian puckers up for self-portrait - unaware her fiancé is distracted


They attended their first public event since getting engaged at the Amber Lounge Fashion Show on Friday, before joining Prince Albert and his fiancee Charlene Wittstock for dinner at the palace on Saturday.

Kardashian and Humphries got engaged on May 18 - but only announced it last week.

The New Jersey Nets player, 26, proposed with a 20.5 carat diamond ring, writing 'will you marry me?' in rose petals on her bed.

Her family have all spoken of their joy at the news and given Humphries the seal of approval.

Just cruising: The couple headed back on a boat to the luxury yacht they are staying on


Older sister Kourtney told People magazine: 'He fits in [with the family] already. I think they're just themselves, and I think that's the most important thing.

'Kim is totally herself in front of him. Everything is easy, comfortable, no stress.'

After their trip to Monaco, Kardashian is expected in London next week to promote her perfume.

Not classy! Lydia Bright tried to recreate the same ensemble as Kate today, she did not quite pull off the look


Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge turned heads in her £175 beige Reiss dress last week but when Lydia Bright tried to recreate the same ensemble today, she did not quite pull off the look.

The Only Way Is Essex star was spotted strutting into a London office with a Selfridges bag in tow, wearing the same high street dress as Kate.

But instead of displaying a classic royal style, Lydia’s ill-fitting dress was not flattering and the Essex girl even had VPL.


Just like Kate, she also paired the above-the-knee number with black heels but Lydia’s clunky shoes were anything but dainty.

The camel-coloured ‘Shola’ design is from one of the Duchess’s favourite brands and she wore the Reiss frock to meet Barack and Michelle Obama during their UK visit last week.

After the new bride showed off her impeccable figure in the design, the fashion chain’s website crashed and the dress sold out within 24 hours.

At least the handbag's different! Lydia wears the same Reiss dress and black heels like Kate but carries a different bag

VPL: Lydia was displaying visible panty line through the dress as we caught a glimpse of her underwear


Obviously Lydia was one of the women to flock to the site to quickly grab herself the same dress.

After the mania, it was advertised on eBay for £600 and a £30 copy is being prepared by Tesco.

Reiss then announced that the dress will be re-released in five to six weeks to cater for the demand.


Special occasion: Kate wore her Reiss dress last week while meeting Michelle Obama (right) and President Obama


But after more investigation into the British fashion chain, it was found that the original Reiss dress was manufactured by women paid only 99p an hour in a poor suburb of Romania’s capital.

It was produced for less than £15 by seamstresses earning significantly less than the average salary for textile workers in the Eastern European nation.

The 170 employees of clothing firm Rimcor Ex work in a factory which resembles an industrial compound with bars on the windows, 8ft walls and solid metal fences.

Tussle: Sam Faiers and Joey Essex wrestle after partying all day at the Ocean Club in Marbella


They've barely been able to keep their hands off each other during their break in Marbella.

But The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers and Joey Essex were getting physical for another reason yesterday as they stumbled back to their hotel after partying all day at the Ocean Club.

The reality TV couple got into an argument as they left the party worse for wear, according to witnesses.

After exchanging cross words the couple got into a tussle, with glamour model Sam pulling at her boyfriend's beloved barnet.


Holiday blues: the pair are returning to England today after a week spent in Spain


After their very public necking session the couple enjoyed a Shisha pipe before finally heading back to the hotel.

They were earlier spotted arriving at the Ocean Club, where they drank and danced with friends - their typical day's activity for much of the trip.

Sam, who recently opened up a clothing boutique in Brentwood with her sister Billie, wore a black and white frilled one-piece swimsuit.

She and her co-stars including Amy Childs, Lydia Bright and Lucy Mecklenburgh have been parading about Marbella in a series of bright and skimpy outfits during their stay.

The holiday is finally at an end though, with Sam and Joey flying back to the UK today.

They have spent their last day in Spain with Sam's nanny, after a week of raucous partying.


Party with the girls: Sam took a break from her man to dance with her friends at the Ocean Club party


Sam told her followers on Twitter today: 'Last day sunbathing in Spain :-( with nanny! Then home tonight! X x x'

'Home today. On way to @SamanthaFaiers nannys house 2 have a nice day round the pool.Then airport later! Had 12 hours sleep last nite,' Joey added.

The holiday hasn't been all positive - Joey was robbed mid-week when thieves broke into his hotel room.


Get a room: Joey and Sam couldn't keep their hands off each other during water sports earlier in the week


Among the items stolen were his beloved Hermes belt, orange Ugg boots and £10,000 in cash.

The reality star believes he was targeted by thugs who recognised him from television, according to the Sun.

But the fashion-concious club promoter was bereft for long - his helpful manager flew out to Spain in order to deliver more clothes.

The White House today issued a proclamation recognizing LGBT Pride Month. Metro Weekly notes that for the first time since Obama took office, the statement makes no mention of recognizing gay relationships. The proclamation begins:

The story of America's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community is the story of our fathers and sons, our mothers and daughters, and our friends and neighbors who continue the task of making our country a more perfect Union. It is a story about the struggle to realize the great American promise that all people can live with dignity and fairness under the law. Each June, we commemorate the courageous individuals who have fought to achieve this promise for LGBT Americans, and we rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Read the proclamation in full (PDF).

That is all....

Shades of the Sassy Best Friend. Randall's YouTube fans are split on this development, of course.

"The first adult authority figure that I came out to who wasn't a member of my family: my pediatrician. I'd been seeing him since I was a child and he was still my doctor. After my third or fourth visit about 'a small skin blemish,' he asked me what I was really worried about. I remember what I said to him: 'I'm gay and I don't want to have AIDS.' I don't remember what he said to me, but I'll never forget the look on his face. It was this combination of pity, panic, disappointment, and judgement. I never saw him again." - Dan Savage, in a post marking the first year of AIDS in the United States.

The American Family Association has posted another of its classic "polls," this one about the Obama administration's denouncement of the GOP's attempt to derail the repeal of DADT.

So here we have Minka Kelly trying to catch a cab, but it doesnt look like she is successful. But instead of yelling "Man aint that some bullshit. Black man cant get a cab in America these days...blah blah blah Obama" she seems to take it in stride and walk right into the wind which nearly gave us the best paparazzi picture of all time.  Hell, she even threw a little smile our way.
