"After Blake Lively revealed that Martha Stewart saved her &amp;quot;disaster&amp;quot; of a wedding to Ryan Reynolds, fans wondered how the 26-year-old actress and the 72-year-old lifestyle guru became such close pals&amp;#x2014;and now we know!\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nStewart, whom Lively called her &amp;quot;idol&amp;quot; in a recent interview with Vogue, told Huffington Post they became fast friends after Lively and Reynolds became her neighbors.&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;She moved into my neighborhood a couple of years ago with Ryan&amp;#x2014;before they got married, they bought a house right around the corner from my house. And they started to come over, not to borrow sugar, but just as friends,&amp;quot; Stewart revealed to the site, adding that the couple, who then moved to &amp;quot;another place which is more private [but still nearby],&amp;quot; are &amp;quot;very friendly, very nice people.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;In a way, [Blake&amp;apos;s] kind of shy&amp;#x2014;not shy on the screen, at all, if you&amp;apos;ve seen any of Blake&amp;apos;s movies&amp;#x2014;but very shy in person,&amp;quot; she said of the Age of Adaline actress. &amp;quot;But she&amp;apos;s a baker and a homemaker and now she&amp;apos;s starting her own blog [Preserve] ... I haven&amp;apos;t seen it yet.&amp;quot;\r\nAsked how she feels about Lively venturing into the lifestyle business and &amp;quot;becoming the next Martha Stewart,&amp;quot; the how-to guru replied, &amp;quot;Let her try.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t mean that facetiously!&amp;quot; she then said, laughing. &amp;quot;I mean...Why would you want to be me if you could be an actress? I just did a movie yesterday, though&amp;#x2014;I can&amp;apos;t even tell you about it&amp;#x2014;but I want to be Blake Lively,&amp;quot; she joked.\r\nOther celebs Lively&amp;apos;s pal is envious of?\r\n&amp;quot;Every day I get starstruck by somebody or something,&amp;quot; Stewart admitted. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s fun to admire and to learn from people who are better at everything than you are, so I have many heroes I worship, like Derek Jeter&amp;#x2014;I can&amp;apos;t play baseball like Derek Jeter! And Beyonce&amp;#x2014;I certainly can&amp;apos;t dance and sing like Beyonce!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
