Rutherford, who played the sexy wife of Dr. Michael Mancini in the original Melrose Place, today plays the mother of Serena (Blake Lively): Lily van der Woodsen on the hit 'Gossip Girl.'  Her fictional role seems to suit her well, as in real life, she's the doting mother of two beautiful children.  \u003cbr/\u003eOn Saturday October 3rd, at the Alice and Olivia showroom in Manhattan, Rutherford celebrated her son Hermes' 3rd Birthday party.  This party's whimsical theme was Rocky the Robot, an interactive dancing and talking dump truck made by Matchbox.  \u003cbr/\u003e\"My son loves it.  He loves tools.  He loves trucks.
