Blake Lively's Long Island Loveliness

Getting down to work on a new episode of “Gossip Girl,” Blake Lively was spotted in Long Island City, Queens, New York yesterday (August 24).

The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” hottie texted on her mobile phone in between takes, and was also spotted in a long white robe as she strolled across the lot.

And today (August 25) is a very special one for Ms. Lively- she’s celebrating her 24th birthday and an uber-successful career so far.

Though the rumor that Leonardo DiCaprio bought her a black Toyota Prius turned out to be false, we’re pretty sure he got Blake something fabulous for her big day.
