America Ferrera isn't a fan of
The Hills or
Gossip
Girl.
"Close, genuine female relationships are not what generally gets
depicted in movies and TV shows," she says in the October issue of
Seventeen.
"Like, if you're watching
The Hills or
90210, all the
backstabbing shapes the way we act you go to school, and you think
your job is to find a sworn enemy and be jealous of each other,"
she goes on.
Adds Ferrera, 24: "I mean, I love Blake [Lively, her
Sisterhood
of the Traveling Pants co-star]; shes a wonderful friend of
mine, but shows like
Gossip Girl kind of condition us to be
mean."

The
Ugly Betty star knows girls can be mean, she says,
recalling how she has "worked with other girls before and it was
pretty catty."
But working with Lively,
Amber Tamblyn and
Alexis Bledel in the
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies was "one of the
most wonderful experiences I've had with girl relationships," she
says.

girls.
Before meeting them she says, "I was like, 'I'm just going to show
up to work and be professional not their best friend.'"
"But a couple of weeks into shooting, Amber and I started talking,"
Ferrera tells
Seventeen. "She's a hippie, and I thought we
had nothing in common and now she's one of my closest friends!"
