Gossip Teen

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen poses for a wannabe rock star photo shoot and gives one absolutely ludicrous interview featured on the latest issue of Spin Magazine (pictures/video below). Taylor described her style as “high-class hooker” look – her words, not mine!!

The 17 year-old drops a series of F-bombs during the interview, in which she claims she is not a role model yet she won’t become a drug addict either and admits Gossip Girl was just a platform to do what she really loves. ROCK ‘N’ ROLL.

Taylor also took the opportunity to slam Rihanna, who she thinks is annoying because she wears leather jackets and wants to become a rock star. HELLO. Pot calling the kettle black!

Here are some highlights from Taylor Momsen’s Spin Magazine interview:

Taylor on how she’s not a role model: “I am not a role model.” That’s what Momsen told SPIN over lunch in a New York City diner, after arriving dressed in thigh-high black nylons and itty-bitty jean shorts with her bleached-blonde hair cascading over skinny shoulders, a look she describes as “high-class hooker.” “I dress for myself,” she says. “Clearly, it’s provocative, but it makes me feel good. And if the only reason it makes someone uncomfortable is because I’m 17, then that person’s a scumbag because it shouldn’t matter.”

What She’s Not: A “drug addict,” a “crazy f–kin’ psycho who’s gonna end up in the gutter next week,” or a rebel. “I’m figuring out who I am and what I want to be doing,” she says.

On how her “bad experiences” have f–ked her up: When asked about the basis for these suggestive lyrics, the otherwise chatty Momsen chooses her words carefully. “I’m not really sure how to answer properly yet,” she admits. “I’ve had a lot of bad experiences, and whether that’s from sex or drugs or something else, they are adult experiences that would f–k anyone up.”

On how Rihanna sucks: Momsen is very protective of what she considers “rock,” a word she uses frequently. “People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna’s wearing f–kin’ leather jackets, and it’s really annoying.”

Music keeps Taylor “young” (at 17 years old, mind you): “I was at a point where I was getting up and going to work, but I was drained,” she says. “Gossip Girl gave me a platform to make this happen faster, and I’m grateful, but if I’m not doing something that makes me happy, then I’m dying. Music keeps me young.”

Taylor speaks the truth: “I know nobody wants to like our music. Online, people said, ‘I really wanted to hate [the EP] but I like it.’ I hope things continue on that path. But I’ll be making more records whether people are listening to them or not.”
