Blake Lively sat down for an interview with W Magazine and denied that there was any feud or tension between her and Gossip Girl co-star Leighton Meester.

But there are also plenty of gossip-rag mentions of tension between the show’s two queen bees, which Lively very much denies. “I’ve never really had a competitive relationship in any work situation,” she insists when asked about her allegedly contentious dealings with Meester. “The media is always trying to pit us against each other, I guess because it’s just not interesting to say, ‘Everyone gets along; everybody just works 18-hour days and goes home to sleep.’ That’s not fun to read, I guess.”

If a recent visit to the Gossip Girl set is any indication, Lively is telling the truth. The comely costars seem to get along just fine, chatting politely between takes about the best way to stage their scene.

While it's probably very true that these two aren't feuding, the speculation makes perfect sense because you can just tell it's going to happen eventually. Or so it seems. Right now both starlets are probably enjoying their time in the spotlight together, but young attractive actresses also tend to be a little bit crazy and insecure, so we'll see what happens when/if one of them has a hit movie on the side and the other becomes jealous. Lively has already emerged as the bigger star so it's easy to understand the rumors.
