Another day, another Tim Gunn bash. This dude is officially becoming my favorite Grumpy Old Man…
Gunn was recently trapped in a room with wannabe bad ass Taylor Momsen. I guess they were acting together or something, I don’t know, I don’t pay attention, either way he had this to say to E! on the “entertainer”.
Gunn told E!, “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 all being held hostage by this brat?’”
BURN!!! But I guess Gunn wasn’t alone. “At one point the director leaned in and whispered to me, ‘This is day in, day out, my life.’ She annoyed the entire crew,” he added.
Gunn added that if he had to offer some constructive criticism…
“I’d say, ‘You know young lady, there are hundreds of thousands of girls who are just as attractive and even smarter than you. Why are you acting like this show is a huge burden on you?’ She was on her phone during every break, I wanted to tell her, ‘If you weren’t on your BlackBerry, you can retain this stuff.’
Ouch. Guess Gunn won’t be invited to any Pretty Reckless concerts in the future…

So Taylor Momsen is having major issues gaining a following in the Rock genre cause a) she’s the annoying chick with way too much eye shadow on Gossip Girl and b) she tells MTV her sound is “very loud” and says if “you’re not scared of guitars screaming at you and a 16-year-old yelling at you, then you’ll like the record”.
I think I might skip this one. Anyone out there interested in supporting this Pretty Reckless project?

Over the weekend, 16 year old Taylor Momsen played the Warped Tour kick off party in hooker boots and fishnets… Rumor is circulating that she will be leaving Gossip Girl (due to ‘artistic’ differences) next season…

Not quite sure what Taylor Momsen was planning with this look at a Teen Vogue block party. She performed with Pretty Reckless, but I don’t think anyone really cared how she sounded, only about the fact that she wasn’t wearing pants. Chill dudes, she’s still 16…or is she 17 yet? Also, I kindof like this look?

May be sick of me talking about Taylor Momsen today, but we all love her here, and Teen Vogue is putting her all over the place (including in our RAW feed). Here’s her interview for the September mag, Corey was very excited to hear that she only dates older guys.
–
TEEN VOGUE: You seemed totally at home in front of that crowd the other night—is it true that, until recently, you’d never played a live show?
TAYLOR MOMSEN: The only other time I’ve been on a stage was when I starred as the Little Red Hen in the second grade. But my family used to play music and dance around in the basement every Saturday night. My sister and I even formed a band called Pink Boa—we’d put on tutus and masks, and I’d sing and play guitar and she’d play the drums. We knew two songs, “Seven Nation Army” and “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
TV: And you’ve been acting professionally for over a decade—that probably helps.
TM: Yeah, I kind of grew up in front of the camera: I started modeling when I was two. I was never pushed into it, but I never really chose it either. That’s why music is so different for me—I’ve known since I was little that this is what I want to do.
TV: Does that mean you’re finished with acting after Gossip Girl?
TM: It would be crazy to cut it out completely. And I love being on the show—I hope it goes on for a couple more years. But as for the future, I don’t know. I’m at a point now where I’m not doing anything just for money or fame.
TV: You recorded most of your album before signing a deal with your label, Interscope, whereas many famous actresses work the other way around. Was it important to you to do as much as possible yourself?
TM: The most obvious thing is to look at me and say, “Oh, pretty blonde girl, let’s put her in pop.” But I would never want to do something in music that isn’t representing me—I’d feel like I was faking myself. I wanted to have it all done so I could say, “Here’s who I am, either you like it or you don’t.”
TV: Tell us about your song writing process.
TM: I start with an idea, an emotion, and I write whatever comes into my mind. My lyrics are my diary—you’re hearing every detail of my life. I’m still learning guitar, so I have a writing partner who helps me: I know what I want to do, but I can’t physically do it, so it’s good to have someone there who can interpret. I’d call my music rock, but with pop hooks. I grew up listening to the Beatles, Blondie, and Joan Jett, and I love Nirvana.
TV: You recently finished high school, more than two years early. Were you just eager to get it over with?
TM: I found it kind of boring. I’m an artist; I’m not going to use trigonometry. Now I’m taking college classes online—I want to major in Language Arts.
TV: Do you have any interest in doing the regular college thing? Enrolling at a university, living in a dorm…
TM: For most people, college is a place where you learn about yourself, and I feel like I’m doing that already. I’m already independent.
TV: People also make great friends there.
TM: I have such trust complexes. I’m close to like two people.
TV: Is that a side effect of fame?
TM: I’ve always been like that. People misinterpret what I say all the time: They think I’m being offensive, when really, I’m only being opinionated. Most of my friends are older, too. I live a very adult life: I have two different careers; I’m on tour. What am I going to do, hang out with the high school kids? I just can’t relate to what they talk about—it seems so petty.
TV: Are your parents comfortable with your maturity?
TM: They have to be; it’s not going anywhere. But I’m responsible. I’m not one of those crazy teens. They trust me.
TV: Do they trust you with older boyfriends?
TM: I’m not dating anyone right now, but I’ve had lots of relationships. My parents know that I’m not going to date someone who’s sixteen. Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is; there’s just no way— I would eat a boy my age alive.
TV: You were a finalist for the part of Hannah Montana—are you ever relieved that you didn’t get that role?
TM: I think it’s a great opportunity for Miley, but yeah, I guess I am relieved. If I had gotten the part, it would be a very different show. It wouldn’t have worked for me. I push back.
TV: It’s hard to imagine you being totally happy at Disney.
TM: When I was nine, it seemed amazing. But I wouldn’t have been able to deal with not writing my own songs. I don’t want to lose the artistry—a lot of people in music right now are faces—manufactured. I don’t want to be that.
TV: And you’ve adopted a very rock ‘n’ roll look.
TM: I had long, pretty hair, and it didn’t fit me. I’m pretty, but I’m not, like, a “pretty girl.” So I pulled up a bunch of photos of Joan Jett and said, “Do that to my hair.” There was a distinct change in my wardrobe, too, and I know people were a little, um, taken aback. But it wasn’t me that changed—it was just that I decided to start being myself. Now I do my own makeup, my own hair, and dress myself, and it feels better.
TV: So this isn’t just another part? You’re not acting when you’re up on that stage?
TM: No way. The role is me.

Taylor Momsen rules. “As soon as you try to be different, you end up looking like everyone else,” totally true.

I don’t care what you have to say, I love Taylor Momsen and her raccoon eyes.

Taylor Momsen dresses in leather and lace for her band, Pretty Reckless’ show in LA at the Music Box (they opened for the Veronicas). What do you think of this look?
I think the heavy black eyeshadow she normally wears clashed a bit with the bright red lipstick (only to match her lacy red dress)..but love the boot/dress look.
