Leighton Meester in Nylon November 2014: <b>Hollywood</b> Needs <b>...</b>

After staying out of the limelight for a bit, Leighton Meester is ready to emerge from the shadows and take over the world.

The gorgeous actress/singer works her magic on the cover of Nylon magazine for November 2014, chatting about how she developed while working on "Gossip Girl."

"I started the show when I was so young, and once it was over, I wanted to do things that were more exciting and challenging and more me—more my adult taste. Of course, that's said with nothing but gratitude and love for that experience in that time of my life."

However, Leighton doesn't see a ton of equality between men and women in Hollywood. "As far as scripts go, the roles of women standing alone on their own as whole, real, full people are few and far between. So with both of those roles [Life Partners and Like Sunday, Like Rain], what I loved is that neither of them are centered around romantic relationships. They're flawed, real human beings that I could bread down and really enjoy playing. They're like me, in a way."

And as she approaches 30, Miss Meester notices things changing around her. "Most people I know are starting to get married. It'll be kids next. I like the grown-up stuff. I like having a house. I've got dogs."

Jana Duggar: Planning to Break Away From Famous Family?! - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 06:58 AM PDT

While Jessa and Jill Duggar become celebrity news staples, the oldest daughter from TLC's 19 Kids and Counting, Jana Duggar, remains an enigma of sorts.

So much so, you might not know the 24-year-old even exists if you watch 19 Kids and Counting online this season but aren't a longtime Duggar devotee.

If you missed it, Jill Duggar, 23, married Derrick Dillard in June and is carrying his child, while Jessa Duggar, 21, set to marry Ben Seewald November 1.

Jana Duggar? Mysteriously single and increasingly out of the reality TV limelight.

With patriarch Jim Bob's help, Jana's younger sisters and her older brother Josh Duggar have managed to court, settle down and make babies in short order.

Is there something about Jana that makes her different than her sisters, and anything less than prime courting material? Not as far as we can tell.

She's a nice-looking girl any number of young Arkansas males would seemingly bend over backwards to side-hug the ish out of any day of the week.

Not only that, she's quasi-famous yet very down-to-earth, sweet and smart, the whole package that many guys would kill for a chaperoned date with.

So what's her deal? Is she not allowed to get married by Jim Bob and forced to take care of her younger siblings, as has been rumored in the past?

Or, is she at odds with, and planning on making a break from, the family?

The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their "accountability" and "keep things from going in the wrong direction," per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave "moral danger." When the parents aren't available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.

The most likely explanation of Jana's single status is that she and Jim Bob just haven't found The One yet. Admittedly, not everyone will fit the bill.

Given the things the Duggars do not allow and their rules for dating, that has to narrow the field a bit. But it didn't stop Josh, Jill or Jessa, now did it?

According to FreeJinger (dot) org, it might not be an accident that she's distancing herself from the family on 19 Kids and Counting and in private.

Very little is known for sure, but Jana is reportedly enrolled College Plus, where students can take classes that later transfer to physical colleges.

She is said to be considering a nursing degree, and she's trained as both a first responder and a midwife. She also does extensive missionary work.

As such, there's a lot of talk about her spreading her wings and flying solo, leaving her parents and the 18 kids behind. But it's unclear if she will do so.

It's equally unclear what that even entails as far as the conflict (or lack thereof) between herself and Jim Bob. As of right now, she's still a mystery.

Maybe FreeJinger should rename itself FreeJana. Just an idea.

Blake Lively: Pregnant With First Child! - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b>

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 05:33 AM PDT

Blake Lively is pregnant with her first child, according to the actress herself, who broke the news somewhat cryptically on her new lifestyle site Preserve!

Lively, who is married to Ryan Reynolds, just launched a Preserve Celebration of Family on her site, in honor of "that special moment at the creation of family."

Publishing a host of pictures of happily pregnant women, Blake congratulated "all the expecting mothers out there," then shared one more special photo:

The photo of the Gossip Girl beauty and her baby bump was taken by her brother Eric Lively. Posing in the twilight, she cradles her future offspring proudly.

Lively has been quite vocal about wanting to start a family since marrying Ryan Reynolds in 2012, and as one of five kids, she says she wants a big one, too.

Still, no one saw this pregnancy coming.

The couple, who met while filming their 2011 movie, The Green Lantern, secretly wed in an intimate South Carolina ceremony and keep a low profile.

Since tying the knot, the two have been working on movies (or lifestyle websites) and have maintained minimal public presence, living quietly in Bedford, N.Y.

It won't be as quiet in a few months!

"We'd love to have a big family," Reynolds told Details in 2013 issue. "We both come from big families ... my parents did four, Blake's did five."

"A lot of people say it's crazy, but we'll only know when we're there, you know? We'll walk through that fire pretty happily, I think," the actor added.

Blake gushed to Vogue in August that Reynolds "is going to be a great father and leader and patriarch ... he's so meant to be all of those things."

"The fact that he lived so much before we got together, he's the exact realized person that he should be. And so I get to share my life with the person he's become."

"Now, we both get to grow from there."

Reynolds was previously married to Scarlett Johansson from 2008-10. Johansson gave birth to her first child, daughter Rose, with Romain Dauriac this fall.

Congratulations, Ryan and Blake!

Blake Lively is stunningly beautiful. And always has been. She is so gorgeous.
