Gossip Teen

Taylor Momsen is out touring with her band The Pretty Reckless. The part-time Gossip Girl star chatted with 411mania about her supposed feud with fellow teen singer Miley Cyrus and down plays the whole situation:

“I don’t even know Miley Cyrus. There’s just no comparison between us, you know. I’m a rocker, she’s a pop star. We’re entirely different things and there’s a big difference between us. I have nothing against her, I don’t even know her. I just don’t listen to her stuff. I don’t give a sh*t. It’s ridiculous that Disney is as relevant as it is today even with adults. Where is the real music? What happened to Zeppelin, and people who play their own instruments? There’s always going to be pop but it’s not real music, it’s not me.”

Momsen cites Pink Floyd, The Who and The Beatles as some of her musical influences. Taylor and her band are currently on the 2010 Warped Tour and making their way around the country.

Taylor Momsen is making her debut as the cover model for Teen Vogue’s September 2009 issue. The Gossip Girl actress is also lead singer in her new band Pretty Reckless, and talks about her new rock-n-roll look.

“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.”

These pics were taken by world famous photographer Patrick Demarchlier and she looks gorgeous. Can’t wait for the issue.
