Blake Lively says she's no Paris Hilton. Thank goodness.

"I once heard someone say that I'm similar to Paris Hilton - since I have a dog and blonde hair, that must mean we're alike," Lively tells Seventeen in its new August issue, to be released July 8. "It's a dumb thing to say. I dont think that makes Paris and me similar ... I don't go to clubs, I don't party, I don't dance on tables, and I don't like sex tapes."

Amen. And unlike her Gossip Girl alter ego Serena, Blake Lively's real life relationship with co-star Penn Badgley is remarkably scandal free.

"Penn does these silly dance moves, and he's very witty and quick, so it's fun to have sharp banter with him," she says.

Asked how they fell for each other, Blake Lively replied:

"When you're saying these words that people are making you say to one another, nothing about it is real or genuine. So if two people connect outside their characters, then that's how they get together."

Lively does fess up to one thing she has in common with Gossip Girl's Serena van der Woodsen - she's very passionate.

"When I care about somebody, whether it's my best friend or somebody who I would date, I give them all of my heart," says Blake, the youngest of five children from Burbank, California.

"I've just been so loved throughout my life, and I'm used to really loving people and trusting them back."

As for how the rest of the Gossip Girl gang gets along?

“Everyone is really funny and has such strange things that they do," Lively says. "Like, Leighton Meester, she does amazing voice impressions, and she can impersonate anyone’s face."

"Chace Crawford does an amazing impression of Scott Stapp from Creed. Ed Westwick is always singing," Lively adds. "Taylor Momsen is just so adorable, I just want to bake her a cupcake!"
