 Current talk-of-the-town BLAKE LIVELY graces the cover of the July 2011 issue of Glamour magazine. Florence Welch of FLORENCE + THE MACHINE played the part of reporter for the cover-story, acting as a guest-interviewer for Glamour. Check out more shots from Lively's cover-shoot, as well as an extract from Welch's interview with Lively, all below...  "FLORENCE WELCH: Blake, you looked a-mazing at the Met ball the other night. BLAKE LIVELY:Stop it! I think we love each other too much—it’s not healthy! The performance you did that night, it’s the best thing I’ve been to yet. FLORENCE WELCH: It was so nice having you in the crowd. I remember meeting you after my first show in New York. You got the band pizza, and they instantly fell in love with you. It was so sweet. BLAKE LIVELY: I feel like the story of our meeting should be a little more happenstance so I sound less like a stalker, but it’s not. My brother was obsessed with you. When he played your album for me, my jaw dropped. Two days later you were playing the Bowery Ballroom, and we said, “This is serendipitous! We’re supposed to see her.” FLORENCE WELCH: [Laughs hard.]  BLAKE LIVELY: So I got a ticket, and when they said, “Do you want to come backstage?” I’m like, Oh my gosh, I would love to meet this wonderful goddess! And then you were the nicest person I’d ever met. I thought, I need to know her better. FLORENCE WELCH: And then Vegas was really fun as well, wasn’t it? That sealed the deal on our friendship, spending New Year’s together in sparkly outfits, standing on a table. BLAKE LIVELY: You said, “Come to Vegas!” and I rounded up 16 of my family members. FLORENCE WELCH: I think it was your uncle or your dad who went to get me ice because I’d fallen off the table mid-freestyle rapping. BLAKE LIVELY: Well, it’s difficult to wear such high Louboutins and also freestyle rap. [Laughs.]  FLORENCE WELCH: [Pauses.] How am I doing on interviewing you so far? BLAKE LIVELY: Wonderful! FLORENCE WELCH: OK, my career in journalism can start, then. So how does it feel to be the face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag? BLAKE LIVELY: It’s such an honor. When I found out I got [the job], you and I went to dinner and concocted this plan, like two little girls at a tea party, saying, “Oh, it would be the best if we had a party. And you’ll perform, and we’ll do it in Paris.” Like you and I were in charge of Chanel!"   [ Source: Glamour magazine ] |
