Latest Gossip From Around the World
What did Blake Lively wear to Comic-Con? Satin harem pants and a blouse that shows off most of her breasts, of course. The nerds are definitely going to be seeing The Green Lantern now. Sure, they were excited about seeing it before, but now they know that Blake’s amazing (purchased?) boobs will be heavily featured. Ryan Reynolds looks okay too, I guess. Is it just me, or does his skin always look funky in candid photos? I think he fake-bakes, and it looks especially weird on him. Plus, he was making a lot of dorky faces, probably trying to fit in with the nerds.
Ryan Reynolds says he took the title role in “Green Lantern” to play a hero that can “throw a punch, tell a joke and kiss a girl.”
The actor, along with castmates Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong and director Martin Campbell, presented a clip from the film at Comic-Con Saturday for some 6,000 ecstatic fans, many of whom camped out overnight for a chance to see the presentation.
Campbell says the 3-D movie blends realistic action with humor and an otherworldly trip to the planet Oa, home of the Green Lanterns. He added that while the hero’s costume is “a work in progress,” his cinematic story is set: He is joined by his fellow Green Lanterns for a face-off against Parallax, whom Reynolds describes as “the physical manifestation of fear in our movie.”
The clip showed Reynolds as Hal Jordan, who, after a fight with street thugs, takes the Green Lantern oath and uses his new powers to blow them away. Reynolds recited the oath for the Comic-Con crowd, which rewarded him with cheers.
The cast seemed to embrace the Comic-Con energy, and revealed which characters they’d dress up with if they could walk the convention floor. Reynolds would go as a Wookie because he likes to “be cute and dangerous.” Lively would dress as Harry Potter and Sarsgaard would go as Captain America. Strong said he’d dress as his “Green Lantern” character, Sinestro.
DC Comics chief Geoff Johns hinted that other Green Lantern films, and a Justice League movie, could follow: “The success of ‘Green Lantern’ will lead the charge for everything DC does.”
“Green Lantern” opens in June of next year.

Damn, it sounds like they’re really putting the future of comic book franchises on Ryan’s shoulders. Can he hack it? I don’t know. But I was reading some additional ocverage, and it really does sound like he was selling it, hard. He even name-dropped his famous wife, telling the audience that what with ScarJo playing The Black Widow in Iron Man 2, “We’ve had some strongly worded dinners… we’ve probably got a lot more comic books lying around than your average married couple.”
He also did this for a very young fan… just wait, your heart will melt a little:
Here are some more photos of Blake’s boobs… I feel like we’re really close to seeing her nipple, and I also think she was trying to start a nerd riot (Ryan, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong are also in these photos):
