Penn Badgley wins the BF of the Year award! When Blake Lively's dad, Ernie Lively (who played her pops in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series) was in a bad car accident on Monday, Blake rushed out to L.A. to be with him immediately -- and BF Penn Badgley was by her side, Page Six reports. Aw! PS -- Ernie is "OK and doing fine."
