Blake Lively: No Shortage of Work

Enjoying a break from work duties, Blake Lively was spotted out shopping with a few friends in the Meatpacking District of New York City on Friday (January 8).

Joking around with her pals while strolling down the Big Apple street, the "Gossip Girl" beauty grabbed up a chocolate milk on the go as she picked up a few new additions for her wardrobe.

The sighting comes just as it has been announced that Blake has nabbed the female lead to star alongside Ryan Reynolds in "Green Lantern".

According to Variety reports, the "Green Lantern" will begin filming in March, with a release date slated for June of 2011.
