When Taylor Momsen is not flashing her baps at her own mother or singing in a rock band, she’s an actress in Gossip Girl. However, it looks like she might not be in the hit American show for much longer.
She’s pretty busy without the show, fronting Pretty Reckless and being the face of Madonna’s Material Girl fashion line and John Galliano’s latest perfume campaign, but maybe that’s because she’s anticipating a lot of free time after being put on hiatus from her Gossip Girl gig (where she plays Jenny Humphrey).
Reports are circulating that Momsen will be on an indefinite hiatus after next Monday’s episode. You might not even notice as she’s only appeared in three episodes this season.
Of course, there’s no official comment thus far, but it seems that Momsen will be absent from the show for at least four episodes, including the show’s midseason finale.
This news may come as relief to some as she’s not exactly been popular with those she’s worked with.
Project Runway’s Tim Gunn appeared in an episode with Momsen this season and slated her for being an unbearable diva. Naturally, there’s some of you who think that being a diva is alright, but to paraphrase Joan Rivers, a diva is what you call a cunt when they’re still in the room.
Gunn said of Momsen:
“What a diva! She was pathetic, she couldn’t remember her lines, and she didn’t even have that many. I thought to myself, ‘Why are we being held hostage by this brat?’ “
Momsen’s behaviour has been increasingly risque, but she’s blaming that on her parents (which really, all 17 year olds have the right to do):
She said:
“Everyone’s like, ‘Wow, why is she upset and why is she so miserable about things?’ My parents signed me up with Ford [modeling agency] at the age of 2. No 2-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice. … My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn’t have any friends. I was working constantly and I didn’t have a real life.”
So now, it seems, she’s getting her kicks (great news for plebs like us). It certainly seems that Momsen won’t be going back to Gossip Girl and it feels like it is only a matter of time before she slags off the producers of the show.
This, of course, should be encouraged.

WOW! People are such assholes about her. I personally think she’s a great actress. But her band and everything else she’s doing just doesn’t really click with Gossip Girl. She should drop Gossip Girl, she’s too good for that show now anyways. Have you seen any other girls from that show on the cover of Seventeen Magazine? No, you have not :)

I applaud your comment, zebramint! It is rare to see a factually correct comment on the Internet these days. Indeed, I have not ever seen any other girl from the show on the cover of Seventeen Magazine.
Now then, what is this Seventeen Magazine? Is is some sort of mock underage porn featuring look-alikes of the cast of Glee and this Taylor Momsen person? Does it have a Kristen Bell look-alike? If so, and it is legal in my part of the world, I will seek it out just for a Kristen Bell lookalike centerfold. She made Forgetting Sarah Marshall tolerable (with the sound off, so long as I closed my eyes when that Rusty Bland fellow was in a scene, and I was within five minutes of achieving alcohol poisoning). Oh, and that other movie with Vincent Vaughn, about couples retreating, or escaping, or something. Yes, Ms. Bell does add a certain je ne sais quoi to her roles (wait, I know quoi it is – a bikini). Ah, yes…bikini. What was I talking about?
