Gossip Teen

Jackson Rathbone is always busy with multiple projects. The Twilight actor is starting work on Breaking Dawn, keeping a web diary of his band 100 Monkeys and is starring in a new web series “Aim High” with Aimee Teegarden. The photo above is Rathbone as Nick, a teenage spy posing as an ordinary high schooler:

The actor’s playing Nick Green, a high school student with a side job as an international spy. Nick is one of the US government’s 64 trained teenage operatives and just blew a hit he had on a Russian mercenary named Boris the Bear (Clancy Brown). He’s juggling the ripple effects of that with his secret love for Amanda Miles (“Friday Night Lights’” Aimee Teegarden). The major problem there is that she’s got a jealous boyfriend (Jonathan McDaniel) who just so happens to be the swim team captain.

The full series will released online and as a DVD sometime in 2011.

Jackson is still in high school in this? Well, I do happen to adore him so I will catch this anyway – but I have to admit, I’m getting tired of actors in their late 20s and early 30s playing high school students. I understand when you need an actor who won’t age significantly as a vampire but the rest of the time it’s ridiculous. Is it just me? What do you think?

Gossip Girl’s Jenny Humphrey is taking a long leave starting in December. Taylor Momsen’s character will appear in the November 29th episode “Gaslit” and she won’t be see again for a long while as executives for the TV show are suspending Momsen.

Besides her barely-there wardrobe and expletive-laced tirades against peers such as Miley Cyrus, Momsen pissed off Project Runway‘s Tim Gunn who played mentor to ‘Jenny” in an episode that aired last month. Gunn blasted Momsen for her lack of professionalism on the set. “What a diva,” he told E! News. “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?’”

The official word is that Taylor will not be utilized (she has not been fired) for creative/storyline reasons not because she is giving everyone headaches behind the scenes. The truth is Momsen has been focused on her music with The Pretty Reckless and does not seem that interested in being an actress at all, anywhere. Whether she is a pain in the backside to producers or not – this could be the best thing for both Momsen and Ggirl.

What do you think?

Should Jenny be written off entirely? Do you think Momsen’s Little J should be recast with another actress?

Willow Smith is amazing on the red carpet of the 2010 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles Sunday (November 21st) evening.

A custom made romper with a puffy yellow shoulder and buckles detailing – Willow is a standout among those who played it safe for the AMAs. Love her hair and her slouchy boots (no UGG’s for her) – this girl has serious style!

Willow was a presenter and introduced her friend, Justin Bieber, who performed his single “Pray” for the music show.

Head-turning Emma Watson appeared in New York City for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 premiere on November 16th. The Hermoine Granger actress is still amazed that her decision to chop off her long locks would cause such a commotion:

“I knew it would be kind of a shock, but I had no idea that it would be that big. Like everyone would make this much fuss over it,” Watson, who chopped her golden locks in August, told USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell at the New York premiere.

Emma wears this hair style well – look how fabulous and effortless she looks in her sleek Calvin Klein dress! I think it’s hard for people to see little Hermoine growing up and that has a lot to do with how much people are focusing on her hair. This is a decidedly mature move for her.

Jesse McCartney is finally ready to release his fourth studio album titled Have It All on December 28th and the singer just posted the cover art on twitter. The first single “Shake” from his album is a catchy, upbeat, urban dance tune and McCartney promises more to come when the album debuts. The 23 year-old had this to say about the album:

“This album has a wider range. The beats are hotter, the sound is more upbeat. It’s got the hook-y R&B flavor of the last record, but everything’s really amplified. I’m psyched for people to hear it.”

What do you think of the cover?

Grab a copy or download on iTunes on December 28th.

You know it’s close. Potter Fever has never been higher!

Pixie Lott arrived the 2010 Pride Of Britain awards in London at the Grosvenor House Hotel and the “Mama Do” singer looked elegant. Lott wore a simple black dress and her hair was swept back in a beautiful up-do.

Pixie recently donated her song “Get Weak” to the BeatBullying organization and is fronting the online protest to stop the aggressive act and bring awareness of the long-term effects.

Realm Boutique held it’s grand opening soiree in New York City Thursday (November 4th) evening and one of the stars to attend was fashionista Blake Lively. The Gossip Girl actress took a risk with her long blue oxford shirt peeking out from under her short sparkling skirt and a belt that was looped over and over.  Ah Hollywood!

The skirt is great, even with that plain shirt, but the tails peeking out from under – she looks like she was in such a hurry and no one had the guts to tell her how sloppy she looked. It was not the effortless style I think she was aiming for.

Will her biggest fashion supporter, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, disapprove?

What do you think? Like it or hate it?
