VALERY HACHE--AFP/Getty ImagesVALERY HACHE—AFP/Getty Images  by [Charlotte Alter](https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/)  ## Charlotte Alter Senior Correspondent Jul 18, 2014 8:38 PM UTC When someone named Jonathan Van Meter interviews the actress who plays Serena Van der Woodsen, you just _know_ it’s gonna be good, especially when it starts with a Blake Lively in overalls, Louboutins, and a poncho-blanket. Here’s what we learned from Lively’s cover story in _Vogue_, which pitches her as the next big “celebrity homemaker.” **1) Blake Lively’s sense of humor is either genius or nonexistent:** --- > “” --- Pro tip: If your friends have to say “hahahahaaaa” to let other people know you’re making a joke, maybe it’s not funny? Like this rather mean joke about a not-nice restaurant. --- > “” --- **2) You do not want Blake Lively to be your editor:** Because you’ll never be allowed to use the word “thing:” --- > “” --- **3) Martha Stewart is her Olivia Pope:** …And sent her Gladiators to save Blake’s wedding to Ryan Reynolds from total catastrophe: --- > “” --- It’s handled. **4) But even Martha couldn’t keep Florence Welch from ruining** **_everything_** **at her wedding!** With her dumb sparklers that destroyed Blake’s wedding dress and broke her heart: --- > “” --- You hear that? “Preserved…” Could the Florence Welch sparkler incident have provided the inspiration for Blake’s new lifestyle website, Preserve? 5) **Blake is totally sick of being a young actress and wants to be an old actress already:** She’s sick of playing boring roles like Serena Van der Woodsen: --- > “” --- And wants instead to play “complex” roles like the super-young mother of super-old Ellen Burstyn in this new movie _The Age of Adaline_ that sounds a lot like _Tuck Everlasting_. Because aging in Hollywood sounds like so much fun. --- > “” --- **6) So she calls Ryan Reynolds “darling,” like an old-timey actress would do:** It was not immediately verifiable whether she pronounces it “darling” or “dahling.” --- > “” --- And wants him to be a patriarch: --- > “” --- **7) She eats so much! Seriously, guys!** Who even knows how she stays so svelte? --- > “” --- This is where it would be great to have a friend go “hahahaaaa.” --- > “” --- Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for the next Gwyneth Paltrow. 7 Most Ridiculous Things About Blake Lively in Her Vogue Profile ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3006028/blake-lively-vogue-cover-story/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3006028/blake-lively-vogue-cover-story/"},"headline":"The 7 Most Ridiculous Things in Vogue's Blake Lively Profile","datePublished":"2014-07-18T20:38:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:55:41.395Z","description":"Martha Stewart is her Olivia Pope","url":"https://time.com/3006028/blake-lively-vogue-cover-story/","keywords":["celebrities","Living","Vogue","Jane Fonda","Blake Lively","martha stewart","Ryan Reynolds"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3121ff739bd93834/69869c66e8524b783a603f5c/491456305.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3121ff739bd93834/69869c66e8524b783a603f5c/491456305.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Blake Lively at Cannes","caption":"FRANCE-ENTERTAINMENT-CANNES-FILM-FESTIVAL","creditText":"VALERY HACHE—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3006028/blake-lively-vogue-cover-story/","name":"The 7 Most Ridiculous Things in Vogue's Blake Lively Profile"}}]}] ```
