The Halloween episodeāa mainstay in many TV shows, a way to settle into the fall season but still serve up some pretty wacky plotlines. And because you’ve got a professional wardrobe department, the costumes are always ten times better than what you could have picked out at Halloween Adventure. (Unless the joke is that they’re shitty, in which case it’s hilarious.) We’ve got the best costumes from Gossip Girl, The OC, How I Met Your Mother, and others. More »
Today, while browsing through photos of Gossip Girl castoff/The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen, we had a revelation. With her long, straight hair, black eyeliner and torn-up leather, Taylor’s turning into Nicholas Cage‘s musician/designer/giant son Weston. More »
Taylor Momsen likes to take some of her clothes off and give an angsty teen version of sex eyes. We know this much is true. And now that she’s 18, photographers can feel comfortable snapping away with abandon because hey, it’s totally not creepy anymore.
Momsen’s latest photoshoot is for Rolling Stone Spain, and accompanies an article that no doubt talks about The Pretty Reckless like it’s a real band and not a scheme of Little Jenny Humphry‘s that got out of control. The thing is, it kind of is a real band now, for all intents and purposes. They are opening for Evanescence on their fall tour, guaranteeing more generic, post-grunge, late-nineties arena rock than you can shake a Hot Topic platform boot at. It’s simultaneously comforting and disturbing to know that kids have the same shitty taste in “modern rock” that I had when I was a kid…so long as there are suburbs without any kind of cool underground culture, this genre is never going to die.

Public lap dances? Pretty appropriate stuff for a 17-year-old to be doing in public, eh? Taylor Momsen pulled out her best stripper moves at a concert in Barcelona, where much of her young audience had was already half-naked. As much as this behavior creeps us out, we do have to admit there’s an interesting dynamic at play here. Teenage Taylor rebels; in response Taylor’s fans rebel; Taylor uses them to rebel some more All in all, it’s a bunch of kids playacting at being adults for the benefit of themselves. And probably some weird pervs on the Internet (we see you, creep). More »
We sincerely hope that Taylor Momsen doesn’t have a stylist, because such a person would really be getting away with doing only half the work: the 17-year-old Pretty Reckless singer has made quite a name for herself as a person who wears only one article of clothing at a time. Bra, but not shirt, shirt but not pants.
Pants, Taylor, they’re called pants! More »
Is Taylor Momsen 18 yet? She isn’t, we know that, but can we pretend she’s an adult for the sake of feeling less weird about the fact that she flashed the crowd at a Pretty Reckless concert in England? Here’s why this image is particularly unsettling: Imagine someone like Lady Gaga or Courtney Love or even Lita Ford pulling something like this. Midway through a set, rockstar cred blazing; we bet they’re not smiling like Taylor’s smiling in this photo — a teenager slyly giddy with the “subversive act” she’s getting away with. Is she a woman confident enough in her sexuality to incorporate that as part of her act? Nope, she’s a child playing grown-up with some pretty messed up stuff, and it’s written (in eyeliner) all over her face. More »

It is really easy to hate on 17-year-old raccoon-eyed actress/model/brat Taylor Momsen. After starting out as the sweet, naive Jenny from Gossip Girl, we watched in horror as Taylor joined Jenny on her downward spiral of hipster teenhood. Has a person ever before come to embody their character so fully as Taylor Momsen did? More »
Oasis’ “Wonderwall” is one of our favorite songs, just as it’s one of many people’s favorite songs. And there’s nothing worse than hearing an uninspired cover of a beloved piece of music, but Taylor Momsen actually does a pretty good job with her version sung at a concert in France. It’s a little rough around the edges but Taylor’s voice is, as usual, quite nice and well-trained. And, um, you can kind of hear that she means it when she’s looking for someone to save her.

When we think of Taylor Momsen we usually thing “teenage Grinch.” She runs around Hollywood sucking joy and glad tidings with her black clothes and surly grimace. But, just like the Grinch when he walks the red carpet, Taylor has actually been known to let loose with a smile every once in a while. This gallery is our attempt to prove that Taylor’s lip muscles still work. Medical journals here we come! More »

Over the weekend, Taylor Momsen was forced to apologize after she told the Scottish crowd at her concert that “Glasgow is the craziest crowd in all of England.” Oops! Taylor’s mix-up is admittedly pretty funny, but at least the teen star had some sense what part of the world she was in. In terms of the history of celeb geography screw-ups, Taylor’s error hardly even ranks. Here are some of the most irredeemable mistakes to ever appear on the celebrity world map.
