She has also starred in movies, including Accepted, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, The Town and Green Lantern.
Lively was born in Tarzana, Los Angeles to actors Ernie and Elaine Lively. She was raised as a Southern Baptist. The youngest of five siblings, Lively has a brother, Eric, two half-sisters, Lori and Robyn, and a half-brother, Jason. Both of her parents and all of her siblings are, or have been, in the entertainment industry. During Lively's childhood, her parents would take her with them to acting classes that they taught because they did not want to leave her with a babysitter. Lively said that watching her parents teach acting classes helped her learn the "drills" of acting and gain confidence as she got older. Lively stated that as a child, her mother would bring her to Disneyland twice a week as an opportunity "to have some extra time to bond"; Lively has stated, due to all the time she spent there, she felt that she "grew up at Disneyland."
Lively was initially not particularly interested in acting, however during the summer between her junior and senior years of high school, her brother, Eric, asked his agent to send her out on a few auditions over a period of a few months. From these few auditions, she got the role of Bridget for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Lively filmed her scenes in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants between her junior and senior years at Burbank High.
Lively began her acting career at age 11, when she appeared in the 1998 film Sandman, which was directed by Lively's father. Lively describes her role in the film as having been a "bit part". Lively appeared in the film adaptation of the novel of the same name, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in 2005 playing Bridget, one of the four female leads. Lively's performance in the film earned her a nomination for a Teen Choice Award for "Choice Movie Breakout - Female."
In 2006, she co-starred with Justin Long in Accepted, and Lively had minor roles in the horror film, Simon Says. While Accepted was not well received by critics, Lively's performance was, earning her a 'Breakthrough Award' from Hollywood Life.[citation needed] In 2007, Lively played one of the two title characters in Elvis and Anabelle as Anabelle, a bulimic girl who hoped to win a beauty pageant. Lively said of getting into character for the role that she had 'shed serious weight' for her height. Lively stated that that process was difficult for her because food is “the No. 1 love of my life.” MovieLine.com praised her performance in the film and credited it as having been her "breakthrough role".
Lively was cast in the CW's series Gossip Girl, which premiered in September 2007. She plays Serena van der Woodsen in the teen drama.[8] Her first magazine cover was the November 2007 issue of Cosmo Girl, where she discussed her time in high school and her career prior to Gossip Girl.
In 2008, Lively reprised her role in the sequel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Similar to the first film, Lively was positively received by critics. As of November 2009, the film had earned over $44 million at the box office. In 2009, Lively appeared as Gabrielle DiMarco, a minor role in the romantic comedy, New York, I Love You, a sequel to the 2006 film Paris, je t'aime. Despite positive reception from critics, the film had a poor box office performance.
One of Lively's most acclaimed roles to date is her supporting role playing the younger version of the title character in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009). Paul Byrnes, of the Brisbane Times, described Lively's performance in the film as being "sensational". In October, 2009, Lively began filming her scenes for her role as Krista Coughlin, in the 2010 film The Town, based on Chuck Hogan's novel Prince of Thieves. In the film, Lively's role has been described as "the sister of Jem and Doug's ex-girlfriend who has a 19-month old daughter, Shyne." The film, which also stars Ben Affleck, was released in the United States on September 17, 2010 to critical acclaim. In an interview with Marie Claire, Lively stated that she wasn't relying on her career as an actress, having felt that having her own interior decorating firm would be a substitute as a back-up plan, and because of her 'fascination'[clarification needed] with "colors and textures and layering things." In January 2010, it was announced that Lively would play Carol Ferris, the female lead and love interest of Hal Jordan in the superhero film Green Lantern, which was released in June 2011.
Lively dated actor Kelly Blatz from 2004 to 2007; the two had been friends since childhood. In late 2007, rumors circulated that Lively was dating her Gossip Girl co-star and former childhood classmate Penn Badgley. In May 2008, after People magazine published photos of the two kissing while on vacation in Mexico, the couple became more open about their relationship. Lively and Badgley ended their three-year relationship in mid-September 2010, according to a representative for the pair. Lively has also been linked to Leonardo DiCaprio. They began dating in mid May 2011, but ended their relationship in early October 2011. During the 2008 United States presidential election Lively expressed her support for Barack Obama.

The Beautiful Thai Ladies
I often get asked, "Where in Thailand are the most beautiful women?" My response is "it depends on what type of woman you are looking for." I personally divide Thailand up into four sections. They are Central Thailand in Bangkok, Southern Thailand, Northern Thailand and Eastern Thailand which is referred to as Isaan. In each of these areas, women of Thailand often look and act a little bit differently. For example, if you are looking for a highly educated professional Thai girlfriend or wife, you might want to start looking in Central Thailand in the city of Bangkok. Many of the girls that live and work here have college degrees and are more "Westernized" due to the fact that Bangkok is the gateway of SE Asia between East and West. They interact more with Westerners and therefore are more accustomed to us. This knowledge lets them be more outgoing and forward when it comes to talking to foreigners. Also, there is a larger proportion of Thai girls that know English than compared to other parts of the country.
Southern Thailand women often have darker skin and larger eyes. The beautiful women here are a nice mix of Malaysian and Thai descent. The girls here are often outdoor lovers that enjoy hanging out on the beach. In addition, they absolutely love seafood because this is the staple of their diets growing up along the beautiful Gulf of Thailand or Andaman sea. Again, these girls also tend to know English fairly well because of the large number of Western tourists. Many of the women here work in the Tourism industry.
Eastern Thailand or Isaan is the poorest part of the country. It also happens to be the place where many beautiful Thai women come from. Western men tend to like the very small and very dark skinned Thai women and this is a great place to find them! It is often said that you haven't been to the "real" Thailand until you've gone to Isaan. This area of Thailand shares boarders with Laos and Cambodia. The number of Thai women that speak English is fewer than Southern and Central but they're certainly out there. Women here are also very quiet and respectful toward Western men. I know several people who married Thai girls from Isaan and could not be happier with the level of companionship and generosity their wives show them.Lastly is Northern Thailand which is in my opinion, the hidden jewel of Thailand. Here women are of Thai and Chinese descent. The Thai women are very approachable here and always great you with a smile. Thai women here tend to have lighter skin but are small like most Isaan girls. The Thai girls here are very honest people are looking to have a good time as well as ready to settle down when the time is right.
Keep in mind that these are very broad generalizations about women in Thailand. It's like me saying that all Southern girls in the United States live on tobacco plantations and love country music! That being said, it should give you a very general idea of the different parts of the country and where to find your perfect Thai woman!
Thai Kiks is a blog dedicated to understanding what Thai women want, what they are looking for and how to get a Thai girlfriend. If you are looking for a Thai woman to be your girlfriend or just someone to spend time with while in Thailand, this blog is for you. The site discusses how to meet beautiful Thai women online or while traveling through Thailand on vacation. You can read the blog at http://www.thaikiks.comMiss Earth Chile 2011 Camila Stuardo
