Blake Lively Nude Pic Scandal - Now With More Theories!

Blake-Lively-wiki.jpgMuch like Blake, this story has (long) legs! Is Ryan Reynolds (her costar and the title character in Green Lantern) thrilled that she's shilling her privates in exchange for a large opening weekend or is he pissed that she's stealing the limelight? We may never know! 

Meanwhile, here's a brief roundup of the titillating theories (other than my own, which, of course, is stellar) bouncing around the Internet:

Joe Francis, yes the douchebag of Girls Gone Wild fame, says (via Gawker and Hollywood Life):

["I would say 90 percent it's an orchestrated attempt or act on her part [to raise her profile]," Francis, the founder of GGW Brands, which produces the Girls Gone Wild DVD series, tells HollywoodLife.com. "I'm not sure, but my inclination is that it's coming from her. She knows what she's doing or someone in her camp does."

But what does Blake have to gain by releasing such pictures? "I think it's a smart move. This will make her desirable," says Francis, whose pals include a who's-who of Young Hollywood. "It's working because it's getting wide coverage. This may be what she needed to get her name out there."

Francis says the photos have helped boost Blake's profile among the masses: "Look, mainstream U.S.A, other than the five people that watch 'Gossip Girl' have never heard of Blake Lively. This will catapult her into some of the top searches on some of the Internet sites which will then trigger a dramatic jump of interest in her, and therefore catapult her career."]

Yep, Joe surely knows a thing or two about women showing all and how it umm, highlights their profiles! Moving on. Here's a blind item question about Blake's nude pics and who the mystery recipient may have been. Most believe it to be her Town director and costar, Ben Affleck. Gawker commenters Belladonna77 and AngriestGeek have my favorite solutions to this blind item riddle: 

[Belladonna77: My dream scenario is that Jennifer Garner [Affleck's wife -ed] found the pics, kept quiet and released them without Ben Affleck knowing. Now he's stuck in a miserable limbo unable to ask if she leaked the photos because that would be admitting he had them and she can be as bitchy to him as she wants.           

 

Angriest Geek: Garner found them two years ago and held onto them until now hoping to fuck up Green Lantern not remembering one simple fact THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY! Between this and Leonardo DiCaprio, Lively and her managers are toasting champagne daily and there's zero talk of Green Lantern and Ryan Reynolds and lots of talk about this.]          

And, in summary, a word from one of my favorite websites, What Would Tyler Durden Do?:

1. Ben Affleck and Blake Lively were co-stars in The Town.

2. While filming The Town, there was a rumor that Affleck was cheating on Jennifer Garner with Blake.

3. In the naked pictures of Blake that leaked this week, she has a temporary star tattoo on her neck, which was there for her character in The Town. Meaning she took the naked pictures, either for herself or someone else, while making the movie.

4. Affleck and Garner were in Brentwood yesterday, and now he has a black eye.

Now we know why Ben is looking emaciated (stress), Jennifer Garner looks like she's been sucking on lemons (she's pissed, duh) and Blake Lively is now bedding Leonardo DiCapri (great tits - which you can see for yourself all over the Internet). Well done, Blake, well done.
