Gossip Girl hottie Blake Lively shows off HER camera skills (and gets a new love interest)

By Daily Mail Reporter

Action! Gossip Girl's Blake Lively tries her hand at camera work on set in New York yesterday


It's not unusual for glamorous Gossip Girl star Blake Lively to be spotted filming in New York.

But this time she was on the other side of the lens.

Blake, 22, saw how the other half lives as she hopped behind the camera while filming the new season of the hit show yesterday.

The actress, who plays Serena Van Der Woodsen on the show, seemed perfectly at ease perching on trolley, peering through the huge professional TV camera.

Perhaps Blake needed a break after learning she will have a new love interest on the show this season.

Yesterday a rep for the show confirmed to EW.com that Desperate Housewives and Mad Men star Sam Page will enjoy an affair with Blake's character.

Sam, 24, has been named one of People Magazine’s most eligible bachelors.

Or maybe Blake jumped behind the camera to take a break from looking at the incredibly bright outfits she and her co-stars were dressed in.

The actress could have done with a pair of sunglasses to dim the shock of her neon yellow top.

As if that weren't enough, Leighton Meester, 24, who stars as Blair Waldorf, was decked out in bright orange and yellow garishly-patterned minidress.

Also spotted was a new character in a neon yellow chiffon dress, with orange satin peep-toe heels and lime green jewellery to match.

Leighton and her new friend wore matching key-motif pendants and both carried neon orange and green folders.


Boys about town: Gossip Girl guys Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford were looking hot in the city too yesterday


The girls have been filming scenes all summer, heading to Paris as well as their native New York and displaying a massive selection of designer outfits in the process.

Their male co-stars on the other hand were not so bright and breezy yesterday.

Spotted off duty and dressed down, heart throb Ed Westwick, 23, smouldered in a white t-shirt and beanie hat with Ray Ban aviator sunglasses, while fellow Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford, 25, looked cosy and relaxed in a comfortable blue crew-neck sweatshirt.

The new season looks set to be a show-stopper, with a French actress Clemence Poesy also appearing as a love interest for Ed Westwick's character Chuck Bass.

The teen drama, which is based on the book series written by Cecily von Ziegesar, will return to our screens later this year.
