BLAKE LIVELY DO ACTORS LEAD A COUNTERFEIT LIFE?

It's the Age of Aquarius. Are We Waking Up to Woke Liberals?

It’s tempting to look back on Blake Lively and wonder how the characters she’s played have influenced her current behavior. She was in her 20’s when she became Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girls — a rich teenager attending a prestigious New York school who plays war games with the other, less popular, students. Because she can. You follow her and Blair Waldorf’s direction or there’s no chance at access to the life of the rich and famous.

I also watched A Simple Favor last night. Again, Blake is another entitled rich bitch who tells one of the other mother’s at her son’s school that she is her new best friend. The implication being she is going to teach her a thing or two about taking charge of her life — which will soon include criminal and immoral behavior.

And yet another movie, Age of Adeline, shows Blake living a life in hiding, read lying, since she quit aging after a car accident and she’s significantly older than she looks.

And then there is the definition of being an actress itself: Spending your life pretending to be someone else?

I landed in Los Angeles/Hollywood at the age of nineteen after what could be called a successful modeling career in Kansas City. But it never occurred to me to be an actress. Not after being auditioned for Adam at 6 A.M., a production by Solar Pictures, Steve McQueen’s production company. My modeling agent was my scene partner for the audition. When I finished, she repeated my lines back to me the way they should have been read. Then shook her head. It was obvious I had no talent. I didn’t defend myself, declare I was having a bad day, or ask for another audition.

I had done a few other smaller productions and several commercials when I was offered a part in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood by the director himself. I knew him and had worked with him before. But that quite explicitly included sex — another moral quandary for anyone entering the acting profession. And a common Hollywood practice. However I was still in Missouri. My agent, the one that didn’t push me for Adam at 6 A.M., was already sleeping with him. I think she’s in the movie?

What does this all add up to? Is it worth selling your soul for a shot at being somebody? Blake became a snotty entitled rich bitch and a psychopathic monster who kills her sister for $4 million and a woman living a life of lies? Was that roles she was acting in or was it who Blake was morphing into? And did she believe she could be those people without repercussion — that she could snap her fingers and ruin Baldoni. She told him what she was capable of. Her ego got so puffed up from playing mean girls and earning a ton of money, come on she married a major movie star and her best friend was Taylor I-own-this-town Swift, that it slipped into her personal life. And just like the characters she played, she became a predator.

Reading information on her lawsuit with Justin Baldoni… they started off really casual — talking like people in Hollywood do. There were mentions of their personal sex lives in regard to the characters they were playing. He would walk in and out of her trailer on the set because that’s generally how it works — despite the fact she was often breast feeding. They both participated in a sex scene with Blake declaring she didn’t need an intimacy coordinator. All very loose and casual. Typical of movie sets. Very few people get naked at work.

And then something went terribly wrong. Blake got butt hurt. Narcissists can’t handle being out-of-control. Baldoni didn’t stroke her ego? He wasn’t deferential enough? Very likely he wasn’t into her enough. She was used to being Queen Bee. The seductress. Like Taylor Swift who dresses to appeal to teenagers, Blake was playing a woman almost ten years younger. Instead of being in her 20’s playing a teenager, she is now in her 30’s playing someone in their 20’s. But she just had another baby and her grown up status is starting to show. (Frankly I kept getting Lively mixed up on Gossip Girls thinking she was the mother!) Blake made a threat to Baldoni by comparing herself to the Game of Thrones queen, Khaleesi, and describing Reynolds and Swift as her dragons.

Baldoni got the message. He gave it a shot. But the harsh truth was, he didn’t find her that attractive.

Playing the role of the husband, Ryan Reynolds tried to force Baldoni to bend to Blake’s demands. And her best friend was there to be intimidating. Still Justin didn’t understand the hierarchy. So he needed to die — like the characters she played, he had to be punished. Blake sued him for sexual harassment. The irony!

I’m positive Justin didn’t know what hit him. He’s a bit of a jerk himself, but he was out of his league. It took awhile to put together what was really going on. He made some missteps hiring publicity people when Blake was already outing herself and generating criticism by promoting her alcohol brand, Betty Buzz, to an audience that was watching domestic abuse.

And there were the interviews, some from the past, where she showed a total lack of empathy. Narcissists have none.

Plus anyone that watched Gossip Girls knows her co-star, Leighton Meester, though too classy to jump into this shit show, privately can’t stand Blake.

And what about Hollywood itself, built on fantasies and dreams, rewarding entitled artificial people of questionable backgrounds and sketchy personal lives — into life in the Land of Plenty. Blake got outed. But she’s definitely not the only one. The entertainment industry had Pfizer all the way up their asses.

It’s a joke, this town I’ve lived in my adult life — grew up in. My eyes started to open when the whole diversity thing started evolving. I couldn’t relate to the the hip hop and rap genre. It was hard to understand why such self-involved badly clothed posers were allowed to blow up with minimal criticism when so little talent was involved. Calling bad, angry, raging “poetry” music? The Black man hating the White man. I guess you tell the public what to believe long enough and they not only are never going to question it, they will believe in it — participate in it — purchase it.

Ironically, Taylor Swift is today’s example. Can’t sing, can’t write music, definitely can’t dance. Men do her wrong. But does she really like men? None of these questions kept her from a crazy successful music tour in 2024 — 35 years old a — pretending to be a teenager. Obviously Hollywood can sell you anything.

Until now.

2025. Los Angeles burned to the ground. If it wasn’t your house, you know someone whose house it was. We’re all sitting around thinking we might be on fire any minute. Yesterday a man was caught in my Los Feliz neighborhood with a lighter — under the Hollywood sign, The Griffith Observatory and enormous Griffith Park.

I was packed and ready to evacuate a week ago during the nighttime Hollywood fire. That morning the sky was red. The mood all day was fearful. Streets and freeways were jammed with fleeing citizens. Luckily, information was plentiful after having lost power for most of the day. Otherwise the fire could have shown up without any warning as it did for the people east and west of me. I believed my old brick building would not burn. But I would never have thought the Palisades and Alta Dena would burn either. What scared me was the possibility that there weren’t enough helicopters and firemen to come to our rescue. My other thought was that they wouldn’t allow Hollywood to ignite. It turned out the blaze, of a frightening size, was put out quickly by the brave and talented men and women of the Fire Department — some who came as far as other countries. Our heroes. And in the end, the only people who did their jobs with jaw and water dropping perfection.

It’s an enormous price to pay to have our eyes opened. Blake Lively and other actors aren’t gods. Hollywood’s plethora of illnesses is showing. Los Angeles was brutalized by a failing liberal government. Understand, I was a liberal all my life. But the pandemic? What pandemic?

It’s the Age of Aquarius. There is no stopping the truth now. January 20th at noon, we have a new president. How many years has it been since we so unanimously agreed on anything? We want this man to lead us. Forgive him for the things he has done and allow the truth to prevail — to save our dying planet. Send your blessings to Los Angeles, as I know and have heard from so many of you. We are grateful. Maybe as a city/state we deserve this. But individually we are suffering. Every one of us.
