Taylor Momsen: It's Okay Mom and Dad!

Taylor Momsen: It's Okay Mom and Dad!

It wasn't long ago that Taylor Momsen blamed her "damaged" and abrasive attitude on her parents, who forced her into modeling and acting so early.

Now she appears to be backing off that sentiment.

The Gossip Girl star tells Kerrang! magazine (UK) that her comments were taken out of context when she said her folks made her "miserable" and "upset."

"No two year old wants to be working, but I had no choice," Taylor said. "My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn't have friends. I didn't have a real life."

In a rare moment of softness, Taylor Momsen now lets her parents off the hook, revealing she didn't really mean to slam mom and dad, who felt "horrible" about all this.

"I love my mom and dad. Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages, I was still a child," she says now.

"Maybe it wasn't a conventional one, but you know, I like where I am now so it's OK."
We like where she is too. Now if she would just smile once in awhile ...

Taylor Momsen Says She’s “A Product”

 

 Taylor Momsen Says She’s “A Product”

You always wonder if the younger celebrities get what the industry is all about, or if they only care about the limelight. At 17, Taylor Momsen says she understands that at the end of the day, she’s a product that needs to be sold.

“I kind of woke up one morning and was like, ‘Oh I see what’s happening, I get everything.’ “I woke up and was like, ‘I get it, I’m a product.’ “

The Pretty Reckless singer – who started acting on ‘Gossip Girl’ when she was 14 – wasn’t prepared for fame.

“Fame just kind of happens overnight. No one prepares you for it. On ‘Gossip Girl’, I was just going to work, doing what I’ve always done, and then all of a sudden you’re like, ‘Woah!’ “But you get used to it. You ignore it – because whatever people say about me doesn’t bother me at all. If you’re in high school or college or at work, someone’s not going to like you. It’s inevitable. But it doesn’t mean anything.”

Most celebrities say that they aren’t affected by the negativity, but how can you NOT be?

Man – if that photographer ducked down any further, he would have caught a few upskirt pictures of Taylor Momsen. The dress she’s wearing is pretty SHORT and her signature ripped thigh high tights don’t do much for covering the important stuff.

Thankfully, this set of ‘Gossip Girl’ Taylor Momsen is PG. Here she is fronting ‘The Pretty Reckless’ performing live at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in London last night.

Say what you want about this girl, but she is juggling a pretty successful TV and music career. I can’t imagine having to deal with her schedule. No wonder she doesn’t want a lot of friends. Who has time for them?!
