Live from the LOL Files: Blake Lively says Gossip Girl is holding her back from further pursuing her film career.

(Of course, because The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was such a blockbuster.)

Blake Lively says Gossip Girl has prevented her from launching serious career in film because of it’s demanding shooting schedule. The blonde beauty, who plays Serena on the popular CW drama, insists that she’s so busy with the tapings for the hit series that she can’t accept any movie offers coming her way.

“We shoot nine months out of the year, so there are so many films I can’t do,” Blake explains. “On my latest movie I would go and take a day off from Gossip Girl in New York and go to Connecticut and shoot that and then come back the next day. And they don’t really like to share you.”

Katherine Heigl Jr. here needs to be grateful to have a job; millions of Americans are unemployed. Is it Gossip Girl that’s holding Blake back, or a lack of talent? Be happy you have steady work and STFU!
