Stars on the Set

Blake Lively continued work on the sixth season of Gossip Girl yesterday in NYC. She was joined by 7th Heaven's Barry Watson, who's playing her love interest in the new episodes. After kicking off her shoot in a blue Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, Blake changed into an Alice + Olivia orange top, printed skirt, and sky-high Louboutin heels to hit the sidewalks. Blake's no stranger to high-fashion labels and, in fact, was recently announced as the face of Gucci's Première fragrance. She was formerly in the ads for Chanel's Mademoiselle bag line, and apparently Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld doesn't mind sharing. Reports suggested a rift between Blake and Chanel, but those stories were shot down by Karl's company.

Bradley Cooper was all smiles upon his arrival to The Place Beyond the Pines set in upstate New York yesterday. He joins Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes in the Derek Cianfrance-directed drama about a motorcycle stunt rider, played by Ryan, who finds himself toe to toe with a cop-turned-politician, Bradley. Ryan made a drastic physical transformation for his part, bleaching his hair platinum and covering his body in fake tattoos. Bradley, like Ryan, seems to have switched up his look, modeling a shorter 'do instead of his trademark tousled coiffure. The set has remained relatively quiet during production, though recently Ryan Gosling broke up a fight on a street in NYC. Ryan rushed in to help defuse a situation, wearing a muscle-baring tank top, before cops arrived on the scene.

Alyssa Milano scrubbed in on the set of New Year's Eve in NYC Wednesday. She's the most recent star to dress up in medical gear for the cameras after Halle Berry donned a similar blue ensemble on Tuesday. The pregnant actress has apparently been getting plenty of parenting advice from her costars, with Halle being the latest to talk about the experience of motherhood. Some words of wisdom have been harsh but reassuring for Alyssa, but the mum-to-be insists that the tips make her feel much better. Alyssa has a little while to go before the birth of her first child, which means she can fully enjoy her time at work with the rest of the ensemble cast including Robert De Niro.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Christina Hendricks changed into matching Uggs between takes on the set of I Don't Know How She Does It in Boston earlier today. SJP has had lots of famous costars on set while shooting the film in addition to Vivienne Westwood spokesmodel Christina, like Jessica Szohr and Kelsey Grammer. SJP's doing double duty between her home life and work, spending time with her three kids and bouncing between two big-screen projects — she's one of the many actors with a role in Gary Marshall's New Year's Eve along with Halle Berry, Zac Efron, and Katherine Heigl. The follow-up to Valentine's Day may not be the only franchise SJP's involved with, as there is talk of a third installment of Sex and the City.

Sarah Jessica Parker spiced up her outfit with fancy shoes yesterday on the NYC set of I Don't Know How She Does It. She's been working alongside Olivia Munn all week, but today SJP welcomed her newest costar, Kelsey Grammer. He showed up with a smile on his face despite the drama with his estranged wife Camille playing out on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — she's been busy making the interview rounds to change up her terrible image, and recently visited Lopez Tonight to take back her implications that Kelsey is a cross-dresser. Kelsey may be able to keep his mind off their divorce war, though, by getting down to work with SJP and their other costars Christina Hendricks and Seth Meyers.
