Blake Lively tops weeks ‘most web searched celebrity list’

Washington: ‘Gossip Girl’ actress Blake Lively, who has been the dominant headline-grabber on the web over the past seven days, has become the new queen bee on this week’s Gossip Center Hot 45 List.

The actress took the top spot beating last week’s victor Robert Pattinson while reality star Kim Kardashian earned runner-up honors as she edged out third place finisher Justin Bieber, reports Fox News. Lively was plastered on nearly every entertainment news and celebrity gossip website after the release of her disputed nude private photos. The 24-year-old’s press-heavy week was also bolstered by her seemingly burgeoning romance with actor Leonardo DiCaprio along with the debut of her cover shoot of the July 2011 issue of Glamour magazine.
