Fashion muse: Blake Lively is being lined up to become brand ambassador for British designer Stella McCartney

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively - girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio - has become Stella McCartney's latest muse, thanks to their shared passion for vegetarianism.

'Like Leonardo, Blake is an animal lover and believes in cruelty-free fashion so when she met Stella at the Met Ball last month she found they shared many of the same ideals,' says a source.

'Stella thinks Blake would be the perfect brand ambassador for her company in America.'

Blake, 23, has shown her support in return by wearing one of Stella's designs on a recent fashion shoot.

Blake was recently snapped up by Chanel to model their Mademoiselle handbags.

After congratulating Kate Moss on her marriage to rocker Jamie Hince, four-times divorced Liza Minnelli said she won't be offering the supermodel any tips on married life. 'Are you joking? I think marriage is great - I'm just not very good at it,' Minnelli, 65, told me after picking up the Icon Award at last week's Nordoff Robbins O2 Silver Clef Awards at the Hilton on London's Park Lane.

'She's finally achieved her goal and reached the top rung of the social ladder,' says an insider. 'While Pippa's deliberately avoided interviews or posed photographs, she's ecstatic that she's made Tatler's front page.'

Her sister Kate was on the cover in January.

A mole says: 'It has a chance of Oscar success.'

Thee church where Zara Phillips will marry rugby player Mike Tindall is to close for a week before the ceremony - surprising locals who thought the Queen's granddaughter was desperate to keep her July 30 nuptials low-key.

Zara is due to have a rehearsal at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh the day before the wedding but sources say the church is closing for much longer than is necessary. In contrast, Westminster Abbey shut for just two days before Prince William and Kate wed.
