Celebrity News & Gossip

We fully realize that this post is the latest in a series dedicated to our old-fogey selves wondering what in the hell gets Taylor Momsen so pissed off all the time. She does realize that, at sixteen, she doesn’t have that much to be angry about, right? It’s not like she’s worried about paying off her mortgage or has a sick kid to take care of (yeah, those are our two go-to “life is hard” situations).

Yet she always looks like she’s given up on life and is taking it out on the world in the form of a bitter, burning glare. We used to just stomp up the stairs and listen to our Pearl Jam CDs, but we guess when you’re a celebrity teen, the stakes are higher and you just have to direct your eff-you attitude at the paparazzi. This shot was taken during a BMI Music Panel yesterday, and Tay looks like she couldn’t be less thrilled to be there. If we could title this photo, we’d go with “Raccoon Eyes And Apathy”.   [Photo: Splash News Online]

In a new, thoroughly exhausting interview, Taylor Momsen’s apathetic teen “whatever”-ness comes out in full force. Momsen’s really working her f*ck-all persona lately, what with her recent quote about being too busy to think about Haiti, and now in this interview in the Times Online she tells parents who don’t like her style to eff off.

“To be honest. I don’t f***ing care. I didn’t get into this to be a role model. So I’m sorry if I’m influencing your kids in a way that you don’t like, but I can’t be responsible for their actions. I don’t care,” Momsen said. We don’t know if you caught what she was saying, but the gist is that she doesn’t care.

Momsen also discussed a famous role she didn’t accept, that of Hannah Montana. But again, if you think she cares about not being the Disney Channel’s biggest star, think again. “Honestly, if I’d have ended up as Hannah Montana, I don’t know if the show would have gone as well. I probably would have told them all to go f*** themselves by the time I hit 11. And I don’t know how that would have gone down. It’s great for Miley, but I really like where I am right now and I feel really fortunate to be able to really be myself.”

Really? You really think that at 11 you’d be telling people to f*** off? What a charming child you must have been. We are so looking forward to the day when adult Taylor, dressed in her best slacks and sensible cardigan, looks back on these faux-badass quotes and laughs at how obnoxious she sounds. ‘Cause that’s what we’re doing right now.

Taylor Momsen is a busy 16-year-old. She’s filming “Gossip Girl,” recording her Pretty Reckless album, applying eyeliner, and thinking up new ways to rebel against her parents. How can we expect her to think about, let alone care about, devastating natural disasters?!

While promoting her new fragrance at Victoria’s Secret last night, she was asked by OK! if she had plans to follow the lead of Angelina Jolie, Wyclef Jean, or George Clooney in helping those affected by this week’s 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Haiti. The apparently vacant-headed Momsen replied “Um, right now I’m trying to just finish my record and getting through the last season of Gossip Girl for right now. So not so much thinking about that.” Great role model for young girls everywhere. [Source: OK!; Photo: Splash News Online]

Hope for Haiti, a global Haiti fundraising telethon will air live and commercial-free across ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, BET, CNN, The CW, HBO, MTV, VH1, AND CMT on Friday, January 22, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT, with a rebroadcast for West Coast audiences at 8:00 p.m. PT.

Jenny Humphrey’s been cruising for trouble on Gossip Girl alongside the drug dealing son of a diplomat, and—judging from photos of Taylor Momsen on set—we think she’ll find it yet. “Keep your eye on little Jenny Humphrey,” show creator Josh Schwartz recently told TV Guide, when asked what controversies could arise when the show returns from a mid-season break. With the 16-year-old actress—no stranger to age-inappropriate outfits—strolling around Manhattan in a worn-out white tee, short skirt and visible garters, that shouldn’t be too hard.

Resident good-girl-gone-bad of “Gossip Girl” Taylor Momsen has grown-up too fast. While we’re not denying that we’re a bit jealous of those mile-long legs, we just wish she’d cover them up for another couple years.

Since Momsen hit it big as Jenny Humphrey at the age of 14, her skirts have been shrinking as her necklines lower. Her wardrobe of garter belts, fishnets, and lingerie-inspired dresses would make most parents of teenagers suffer a heart attack. This begs the question…where are the Momsen parents?

Penn Badgley must be one popular guy on the Gossip Girl set, considering how many co-stars came to the premiere of his new film, The Stepfather. In attendance were his TV dad, TV sister, TV half-brother (who finally revealed his true identity to Rufus and Lily last night!), TV ex-lover/stepsister, TV stepbrother, TV best female friend, TV best male friend and Chuck Bass (does Ed Westwick sharpen his cheekbones before going out?). Kelly Rutherford aside (who was probably busy filing papers against her ex-husband or something), the only major absence from the regular cast was Leighton Meester. Hmmm, are we allowed to assume she and Penn hate each other now? Is that fair? Yes, no, maybe?

It’s nice to see that Lindsay Lohan and her 15-year-old sister Ali remain close, but not to get all Judgey Judgerson around here, we wish Lindsay would set a better example for her sis and not like, invite her along for the ride that is her life. Earlier this month, LiLo took Ali out on the town in L.A. where they hit up places like the Crown Bar and Teddy’s, a bar inside the Roosevelt Hotel. A patron at Teddy’s said “Both of them were smoking like chimneys and dancing around.” When asked what he thinks about such outings, daddy Michael Lohan said “I’m glad Lindsay and Ali remain so close. However, they’re independent people and are capable of making their own decisions.” Sigh. We’re kinda glad we had parents that punished us for being bad.

Now Lindsay has taken to corrupting yet another teen: she and 16-year-old Taylor Momsen were hanging out with one another during Fashion Week (don’t they look happy?). Momsen has mentioned how disillusioned she is with being 16, but might we suggest spending time in the company of non-Lohans? You know, just in case she’s concerned with career longevity.

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen’s mother clearly did not see her outfit (or lack thereof) as she left for Fashion’s Night Out yesterday in NYC. There is no way any parent would approve of their 16-year-old daughter going out in public wearing nothing but a sheer button-up, a garter belt, and  sequined panties.  Lil J’, you’re growing up too fast! We’re worried. [Photo: Getty Images]

Dear Frances Bean Cobain - do you want to come live with us? Because, based on the Twitter (and all other forms of media) ranting your mother does on a daily basis, we feel like we could provide a really stable home for you. Granted you’d have to live in our closet. Ugh, seriously it is so hard to believe Courtney Love has raised a kid, because she is so (clinical diagnosis coming up) nutso.

On this day in Twitter history, Love takes aim at Taylor Momsen who has done nothing much except emulate Love’s late ’90s look. And for that, Momsen must pay. Here we show you as assortment of the vitriol Love has spewed - we’re not sure whether to call her shrink, or a copyeditor.

• @taylorxmomson shut the F*CK up you overpriveliged bratty bitch that picked one every freak in high school mention my name again? BAM
• ahhh and after taht im just going to go to find a friend and have a Virgin daquiri im sure @taylorxmomson your very “sweet” but idontcare

Hilariously, we can’t find any evidence that Momsen said anything to start this one-sided fight, and even more hilarious, @taylorxmomson is not a real Twitter account. [Photos: GettyImages]

Taylor Momsen recently told Teen Vogue that, “I would eat a boy my age alive.” She continued, “I’ve had lots of relationships. Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is. There’s just no way.” Thus, it seems only fitting that a lady who dates older men should have a mature birthday party, and so the Gossip Girl diva-lette celebrated her 16th birthday in big girl style: performing with her band at the Hiro Ballroom in NYC.

Momsen rocked out in a pink dress, black bra, some rosary beads, and enough eye liner to make Pete Wentz jealous. She sang ten songs with her band, the Pretty Reckless, but looked like she was imitating Courtney Love at karaoke. Anyhoo, happy 16th. Let’s home she enjoyed noshing on cake - and a boy or two.
