Comments at the prank start at 8:10

Gossip Girl and The Town megastar, Blake Lively, was on Letterman Friday. Letterman was fawning everywhere her and kept seeking to repair her hair, although he stated she was “only a child” at 23. I’ve never seen an interview with Blake ahead of and was to begin with inspired by how at ease, personable and pleasant she was. While she gave the impression nice enough to start with, she told a really nerve-racking tale about the lengths she went through to prank her boyfriend, fellow Gossip Girl superstar Penn Badgley, this April Fool’s Day. The things she did to him sound downright mean, as clever as she obviously idea she was. Blake almost convinced that man that he was adopted and that his biological father was Steven Tyler. She even were given Penn’s publicist and mom in on it.

[Penn] always questioned how he was so musically gifted with no need musically talented parents. So I thought ‘who's musically talented who has a whole lot of kids? Steven Tyler’

So I believed, ‘Well I’m going to say that’s his father.’

So I created a fake electronic mail cope with and wrote a letter to him the night time ahead of April Fools… pronouncing ‘I had a child with Steven Tyler. I reside in Maryland (the place he was born), I’m an English professor. I wish to achieve out to you and I’d like to have a courting with you currently that you’re of age.’

And then I had his publicist name in the morning and say ‘hi there concentrate, I got a call from one of the vital magazines in New York. They got a story, Steven Tyler is announcing that he has a kid who is also on this trade, that he’s hoping to reach out to and hook up with, he didn’t understand that this was his son’ and I had them play it off like ‘this is ridiculous’ so we had been giggling about it all day.

And then his mom known as him later and stated ‘I wish to talk to you.’ Yeah. [laughs]

I noticed his entire existence flash prior to his eyes in about 10 seconds…

He was obviously upset that his parents weren’t his folks and his entire lifestyles was a lie. Somewhat anxious.

So no longer simplest did Blake pull this very imply elaborate prank on her boyfriend, a prank that concerned sequential steps through which a much less self-confident particular person may have subsidized out and admitted it was comic story, she used it as an anecdote to recount on national television. Personally, I'm hoping she didn’t pull it off like this or it wasn’t as convincing as she’s looking to painting. Either approach, she strikes me as rather cold and calculating.

NOTE BY KAISER: I think Blake is actually self-confident, to the purpose the place she roughly comes across as an a–hollow. Whatever!
