Blake Lively pretends to be Marilyn Monroe on the red carpet.
The Gossip Girl star gets self-conscious at showbiz events and tries to channel the confidence of the Hollywood sex siren to survive the ordeal: "I have insecurities like any girl. I used to be really shy and unconfident. I hated being tall. Walking the red carpet is scary, so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe - someone who owned their sexuality and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence."
Down-to-earth Blake, 24, prefers staying at home to attending parties and says she feels sexiest when she is cooking. "I really like to cook. Cooking makes me feel sexy. I think there's something so sensual about it - the smells, the touches, the flavors, the experience of creating something. And, you know, when you're doing it with someone you love, creating that together. I think it's really attractive. I do a little of everything but Italian food is my favorite. And chocolate! Whenever I travel I go to cooking schools. I eat too much that's the problem."

Kelis’ Sauce-y Side
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,
Kelis wants to launch her own range of sauces.
The “Milkshake” singer is now a certified saucier after taking a course at renowned London culinary school Le Cordon Bleu and she wants to share her taste bud-tickling skills with the world.
“I want to have my own sauce line. I became a saucier in school,” she revealed. “I love the lifestyle of a great meal. I think food, fashion and music all go together when it’s done right. I also want to get my sommelier certification, which I’m going to do eventually. I love the whole thing. I want to go back to school, too.”
Kelis - who has a five-month-old son, Knight, with ex-husband Nas - sought comfort in the food course after becoming disillusioned with the music business after she was dropped by her record label in 2007.
The 30-year-old star - who is now signed to will.i.am Music Group/Interscope - added to Idolator: “I took some time off. I really just shut down, even to the point where I was like, I don’t want to sing anymore. I went to culinary school and just regrouped and got my heart back for music.”
