It’s been awhile since we heard anything out of Blake Lively. Pretty much since she and Leo DiCaprio broke up, so it was nice today to see these hot pics from the latest issue of Elle magazine show up on the Internet. I wonder if she’s still dating Ryan Reynolds or if she’s back on the market again. Tweet me, Blake. Let’s talk.

Does she do stuff like this on the show? I need to know...

I apologize, but I’d never heard of Kaylee DeFer before seeing this photo shoot of her working out in tiny shorts and a tank top for Self magazine. I feel bad for not knowing her, because damn, she’s really hot. I guess the reason I don’t know her is because she’s another one of those babes on that show Gossip Girl. I swear one of these days I am going to have to watch that show. The producers really seem to know what they’re doing: hire hot babe after hot babe and put them all on screen in the same episode. Who cares if they can act or if the writing is any good? It’s really genius. Now I don’t know which “Gossip Girl” I like best. This Kaylee is really giving Blake, Leighton, and all those other chicks a run for their money.

Rihanna’s new music video for the song California King Bed.

Here’s Blake Lively looking smokin’ hot on the set of Gossip Girl in New York City. Is Gossip Girl usually set in New York? I don’t know because I have never seen the show. That may have to change though after seeing these photos of Blake. I have to admit that the fact that the show features Blake, Leighton Meester, and Jessica Szohr almost makes me want to watch it, and I used to like Taylor Momsen as well, but her act is already tired and she isn’t even 18 yet. In fact, Taylor makes me not want to watch the show so much she cancels out the hotness of the other three. Sorry, Gossip Girl… maybe next time.

Sure, they’re fictional. But several male characters who grace the presence of the small screen are so alluring they have the power to make millions of women tune in just to see what sexy antics they’re up to that week. And the fact that they’re not “real” doesn’t stop us from daydreaming about exactly what we’d say to get them to fall for us if we just so happen were to cross paths. These are the made-up men we wish we could get into bed, and the lessons you can take from our semi-justifiable love for them.

8 Chuck Bass from “Gossip Girl”
I wasn’t formally a fan of the yacht-club, Wall-Street macho look. This filthy-rich bad boy has made me a pristine wardrobe convert. He can get into any club in Manhattan (and is constantly trying to open his own), takes impromptu trips to Europe on his private jet, and can get any model or socialite he wants. His simple pick-up line exemplifies the power he has: “I’m Chuck Bass.”

Learn from his mistakes: Yes, you’re sexy. But we haven’t forgotten about those attempted date-rape incidents or questionable sociopath-status in the first season of the show.

7 Trent Lane from “Daria”
Jane’s older brother Trent made Daria blush, and my heart a-flutter, in this cartoon on MTV in the ‘90s (the whole series is now on DVD and I happen to have it, thank you). His smoker’s cough voice, grunge attire, and rock n’ roll attitude had many of us pre-teens screaming, “Screw the Man!” Too bad Daria never got it on with him. We were rooting for a hook up.

Learn from his mistakes: Decide on the name of your stupid band, already. And get a job. Being full of that angst is only hot until I’m out of college and your lack of ambition makes me physically ill.

6 Seth Cohen from “The O.C.”
Seth Cohen was initially conveyed in this has-been soap opera as a total nerd, complete with a comic book obsession. We weren’t fooled, though. The video-game-playing, Chrissmukkah-celebrating boy was the epitome of adorable. And he had an amazing record collection.

Learn from his mistakes: Being self conscious about dating your dream girl only makes you more vulnerable for women to stomp all over your indie-rock heart.

5 Jim Halpert from “The Office”
Aw, Jim. What a guy! Jim’s the epitome of the cute guy in need of a haircut situated in every office. We love to flirt with him, and even though he’s kind of dorky, he makes us nervous. Jim is loyal and humble. His sly sense of humor is definitely something any guy could learn from.

Learn from his mistakes: You’re too cute to be working at a paper supply company after all these years. Go outside and get some sun, kid!

4 Silas Botwin from “Weeds”
Suburban mom-turned drug dealer Nancy Botwin may have messed up nearly everything in her family’s life, but at least she gave the world some great offspring. Her oldest son, Silas, has every weed-toking chick I know willing to date down in age. He’s shy, and he’s taken tips in bed from a MILF. Having the hash hook up wouldn’t hurt, either.

Learn from his mistakes: Stop being such a momma’s boy and try to live your own, semi-normal life already.

3 Dexter Morgan from “Dexter”
There’s nothing quite like a semi-geeky lab nerd having a serious vendetta against the “bad” guys in Miami. On top of that: A guy who loves children and is comfortably protective. Dexter Morgan, we sort of don’t care that you like to stalk and cut people up into little pieces. We can make an exception for your cute smile and strong-looking back just this once.

Learn from his mistakes: Get involved with the dark world of serial killing, and your loved ones are probably in danger of also getting killed. Duh.

2 Eric Northman from “True Blood”
Awkward teenagers everywhere are enamored with vampire culture. Falling for this thousand-year old ex-Viking would be completely inappropriate for all of them, which makes Eric an appropriate vamp for us to talk—hypothetically—about banging. He does all of those vampire-y things: kills bloodthirstily, is overprotective of the ladies he loves, and is way too seductive although we all know he’s kind of an asshole.

Learn from his mistakes: That cockiness is overplayed. His arrogance is part of what makes him so appealing, sure. Definitely not a guy to bring home to meet the ‘rents.

1 Don Draper from “Mad Men”
Those suits, those shoulders, that hair. Stoic and mysterious, Don Draper is definitely at the top of many Mad Men’s female fans to-do lists. Sure, he can kind of be a dick to his secretaries and his now ex-wife, and his workaholic/alcoholic ways are both attractive and annoying. We know underneath that cool exterior is a man with a dark past, and we could fix him.

Learn from his mistakes: Rampant affairs and lack of sharing any sort of emotion probably won’t help your relationships, long term.

>>> Photos of a nipple-taped, drugged –up Angelina Jolie have allegedly surfaced. Star magazine claims to have these photos, yet for some reason hasn’t published them yet.

>>> I guess now we know why Miranda Kerr got married. She’s frikkin’ pregnant. Thanks a lot, Orlando. Douchebag…

>>> Lindsay Lohan is getting out of jail, but rather than go directly to rehab (as she is supposed to do), she is going to get to spend some time with her family first, because, as we all know, her family is such a solid rock upon which she can lean.

>>> Chris Tucker owes $11 million in back taxes. Time for another rendition of Rush Hour!!

>>> Oliver Stone is an idiot.

>>> Jersey Shore’s Snooki explaining why she wouldn’t wear a bikini during the filming of their second season, says its because one-piece suits are more provocative. If by provocative she means keeps people from vomiting (as much) when they see on the beach, then yes, they are more provocative.

>>> This was all said before Snooki got arrested for being drunk off her ass while filming an episode of the show. Now THAT’s provocative.

>>> In other Jersey Shore news sure to make you want to stab your brain with an ice pick, the group rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange.

>>> Kendall Jenner, the 14 year-old sister of Kim Kardashian, did a little photo shoot. A photo shoot that might be appropriate for someone maybe 10 year older than her. Yeah… Anyone else see another Kardashian sex tape looming in the 2010′s?

>>> Michael Jackson was obsessed with Nazis. Naturally.

>>> Remember a few weeks ago when Amanda Bynes said she retired from acting and I asked you to see if you even would notice. Well, you won’t get the chance because she just unretired. And once again I say, see if you notice.

>>> Tara Reid got drunk and flashed her vagina. No this is not a story from 2009. Or 2008. Or 2007. Or… never mind.

>>> Yet another Mel Gibson rant hit the streets this week. This time his target was former James Bond Timothy Dalton, the father of Oksana Grigorieva’s 12-year-old son. In the rant Mel raises the bar for the number of times one can say the word f–k in a paragraph. It’s really quite impressive.

>>> Mel Gibson didn’t just limit his craziness to voice mails though. Now there’s e-mail too!!!

>>> And finally, Ellen DeGeneres quit American Idol and I don’t care. But for those that do, it seems that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler (is he out of rehab?) will be your new judges. Oh yeah, Kara DioGuardi got fired too. That’s why there’s two new judges, I guess.

I’m sorry I don’t have any sexy babe videos to post this week, but I do have the trailer for the new Seinfeld movie Serenity Now. Give it a look and have a great weekend, people.

There’s really nothing fancy about these photos of Leighton Meester on the Gossip Girl set other than the fact that she decided that this day was not a bra day and it was a little chilly out there. I really have nothing else to add. Enjoy!

I like Leighton Meester a lot even though she’s practically a grandmother agewise when compared to my other Gossip Girl fave Taylor Momsen (then again, the Internet is older than Taylor Momsen so I guess that’s not saying much). She just has a little Cy look in her eyes, like she’d laugh at a guy for prematurely ejaculating. I find that quite sexy. Until she laughs at me for premature ejaculating. Then the look in her eyes looks more like “Holy crap, I can’t believe he just kicked me in the C.”

I also like that her dress looks kind of like the one Pebbles from the Flintstones would have on. Based on Wilma, and Fred’s juicy ass, I bet she really grew up to be something worthwhile.

So the gist…Taylor and Willa were both hanging out with a creepy photographer dude who had them frolic and play. And of course, as happens in my dreams in any situation in which two women are hanging out, it escalates into them stripping each other down and dancing around.

So, yeah. Good work CW. I was worried for a second because it seemed like teenage girls aren’t sexualized enough but then POW! Half-naked teens. Bravo.
