Taylor Momsen

TAYLOR MOMSEN WASN’T KIDDING WHEN SHE QUIT ACTING TO BECOME A ROCK STAR

Remember back in 2010 when everyone gasped because teenager Taylor Momsen quit her hit series Gossip Girl to become a rock star? Observers predicted she would live to regret her decision – but in fact, she hasn’t! Singer/songwriter Taylor is STILL performing with her band The Pretty Reckless, that she put together in 2009. Taylor, now 24, says she doesn’t miss acting at all, and the band has released 3 albums with enough success to keep them touring almost nonstop. Taylor’s band is particularly popular in Europe and made enough money to invest in a fancy new tour bus.

Taylor Momsen, 21, meant it when she quit “Gossip Girl” in 2012 and said she wanted to perform with her band “Pretty Reckless” full time. She’s been touring nonstop ever since (her band even opened for Marilyn Manson) and hasn’t been tempted to return to acting. Above, she’s arriving at the Wiltern Theater for her concert and we have a rare glimpse of her with no makeup on.

ANOTHER ACTOR WHO’D RATHER BE A ROCK STAR: TAYLOR MOMSEN

Former Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen, 20, started acting and modeling at age 2 when her parents signed her with an agency. (She now complains that she worked all the time and had no friends or childhood.) Taylor started on Gossip Girl when she was 14 in 2007, and was gone by the fourth season to focus on her music. Her band The Pretty Reckless played at House of Blues this weekend and she looks like she could be the next Courtney Love…

KELLY OSBOURNE PLAYS THE ANDROGENY CARD AGAIN

Kelly Osbourne has landed herself another cute but androgynous rocker boyfriend. She was seen at The Box nightclub in London with Nat Weller, 20, (his dad is UK singer Paul Weller.) Nat has been wearing make-up since he was 15 and considers himself a cross between Marilyn Manson and Victoria Beckham. He says he’s straight. But does Kelly know Nat was photographed looking chummy with Taylor Momsen two days ago?

MACY’S PREFERS KELLY OSBOURNE’S LOOK TO TAYLOR MOMSEN’S

Thanks to Madonna, Kelly Osbourne looks quite fetching in her new Macy’s ads for the Material Girl collection, although her look is not particularly provocative. Apparently the store shied away from Taylor Momsen’s hard core raccoon eyes persona and wanted a softer more teen (and MOM) friendly feeling. Kelly looks a lot sweeter than usual. Now it’s clear why Kelly replaced Taylor.

KELLY OSBOURNE DOESN’T WANT TO REPEAT TAYLOR MOMSEN’S MISTAKE

We were WONDERING why Madonna fired former “Gossip Girl” Taylor Momsen as spokesperson for her Material Girl clothing line after only a few months – it turns out Taylor foolishly blabbed that the line looked to her like “clothing worn by a high class hooker.” Madonna was outraged because the collection is aimed at teens, and she immediately replaced Taylor with Kelly Osbourne. But not before she had the talkative Kelly sign a multi page confidentiality agreement to keep HER in line!

SLIMMING DOWN GAVE KELLY OSBOURNE A WHOLE NEW LIFE

Kelly Osbourne can’t believe how her life has changed since she lost between 28 and 42 pounds. Not only does she have more fun shopping, but she’s been asked to model in fashion shows. The ultimate compliment came when Madonna asked her to replace Taylor Momsen as spokesperson for Madonna and Lourdes’s fashion collection Material Girl. Why Taylor Momsen, 17, now on “indefinite hiatus” from Gossip Girl, lost her job after less than five months is not known.

TAYLOR MOMSEN: YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY

Nope, that’s NOT Taylor Momsen dressed up for Halloween – that’s Taylor’s work clothes for performing with her band Pretty Reckless. Her band played at the Paper magazine party and during the show she flashed her seventeen year old bare chest with gaffer’s tape on her nipples. Very Courtney Love. Taylor’s changed a lot (photo below) since she started on “Gossip Girl” a few years ago.

KESHA AND TAYLOR MOMSEN WANT AMY WINEHOUSE’S IMAGE, NOT BRITNEY’S

In her quest for a “bad girl” image, Kesha, 23, has acquired a removable gold tooth, not unlike the gold tooth Madonna sported in the early 90’s. Back in the 80’s you could buy “gold” teeth on 42nd street for around five dollars for immediate gratification. Kesha (Tik Tok) and Taylor Momsen,17, (Pretty Reckless) are hell-bent on creating debauched rockstar images for themselves by whatever means possible. They’re terrified of being regarded as white-bread pop stars like Britney Spears. Amy Winehouse is much cooler.

PISTOL PACKIN’ TAYLOR MOMSEN KEEPS HER BALANCE AGAINST ALL ODDS

There’s a REASON why “Gossip Girl” Taylor Momsen ,17, towers over everyone in this photo. Actually she’s around 5’8”, but her incredible pistol platform heels add another eight-plus inches. She’s pictured here tottering out of Radio One studios in the UK where she performed with her band “Pretty Reckless.” Presumably she’ll hook up with Madonna and Lourdes while she’s in town – Taylor is the spokes- model for their Material Girl fashion line.
