Blake Lively joins countless celebs who claim they eat garbage and don’t work out

We all know that stars have access to stylists, personal trainers, private gyms and personal chefs, but "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively claims she has no use for them. She's said before that she dresses herself, but now Lively says she puts no time or energy into looking good. "I do panic before I have to wear a really skimpy outfit, but I don't have enough willpower," says Lively in UK Glamour. "I had to do a scene in a bra and shorts for the first time in two years. On the day of the shoot, I ate a pork burrito, chips and coke. Afterwards, I thought, 'I probably shouldn't have done that.' But whatever."

Do you really expect us to believe that? You knew you were stripping down, and still stuffed your face? Yeah right. To make matters worse, Lively claims she also does not exercise. "I have never worked out, but I know you feel better when you do, so I am planning on getting a trainer.” On-screen Serena van der Woodsen is a high school girl, but off-screen Blake Lively is a young actress who relies strongly on her looks. If she isn't hitting the gym yet and solely relying on a speedy metabolism and good genes, well, consider us jealous. But then again, she did once say that she was at her healthiest after dropping "serious" weight to play a bulimic beauty queen...

Either way, can we get past these "I'm a gorgeous celebrity, but I just get out of bed and look like this with no effort" stories? We don't believe them and we don't wanna hear it anymore.

Do you think celebrities lie and say they eat bad foods and don't work out, but actually bust their butts at the gym? [People]

    I think she is super cute and if she can look that way eating a pork burrito, more power to her! However, that coke wasn't a healthy choice, but again to each their own. In the movie "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" she plays a soccer player and she does soccer scenes & running scenes, I'm willing to bet that she "trained" in some way to learn those moves, which would be considered a workout. ;)

    I say good for her. If she can look so cute and not workout, etc, then fine. When I was in high school I would eat a similiar meal to what she described and then go cheer at a varsity football game or play soccer. Ah, the fast metabolism of youth!

    Now, after two kids, I'm finally getting back into my groove. I have to be much more careful about what I eat and I do have to hit the treadmill and weights, but so what? I'm rockin' the buff mommy look now, and I feel better now than I did at 18. I'm certainly more comfortable as a person now than I was then.

    I don't want to hate on BL, but I have to say that she looks like she dresses herself. 99.9% of the time she looks adorable, but that blue shorts jumpsuit- eesh!

    I can totally believe at her age. I didnt diet or excercise (purposefully) all the way up to age 30. older folks used to tell me that one day i wouldnt be able to eat like i did bla bla and I thought they were all just jealous. I wafted from size 4 to size 6 and looked awesome (of course at the time I didnt know how great I really looked *sigh*) but it seems like the day I turned 30 everything I ate went to by butt and thighs!!!! I am now a healthy size 10/12 and hit the gym three times a week to stay that small :(

    I didn’t work out till I was about 26 and I ate whatever and I didn’t look toned and muscular, but I was not above a size 3. After I started working out, I started being much hungrier and eating more, and now I still eat whatever I want, including desserts or calzones, or healthy things too. Obviously working out helps you, especially if you're not super young like she is, but unless you see someone with tons of muscles and tone, I would not call someone a liar about their diet and exercise. I do feel lucky I don’t have to go on a diet but as others have said outside isnt all that matters so… oh and the whole 30 thing - everyone told me that when you hit 30 you suddenly fall apart. I've been 30 since November and I feel just the same as at 29. I think part of it is in your head… Of course eventually we all know that a 30 something year old has a different body composition than a teenager or young 20s, and as well different than someone in her 40s, etc.

    U know what maybe she doesnt because when I was her age I was bony and slim and muscular and looked like naomi campbell and ate garbage but you know what it catches up to you as your 20's start to leave you and it will catch up to her like everyone else and shell have to work at it just like the rest of us.Its nature,thats the way shes supposed to look right now plus her genetics are giving her right now what her mom and dad looked like at that age-shes young,this is the way it is.

    She also had plastic surgery on her nose. She didn't always wake up looking so good.

    I think she'd win major points if she was honest about her fitness routines. Take Kelly Clarkson: she didn't hide the fact that she lost weight consciously, and she worked to do it in a healthy manor. Everyone applauded her on that. The "I'm hot naturally" thing is so fake, but sadly few care to look past that.

    I believe it, have you seen her run in Sisterhood of the Traveling pants? I never thought there was someone out there who doesn't know how to run.

    When you're young, truly your metabollism is so much faster and she does work so she still have physical activities although not in a gym.
