Taylor Momsen, 17, Jokes She Hooked Up With a Priest



It seems as if Taylor Momsen has beef with just about everyone these days.

Three weeks after she put Miley Cyrus on blast, the 17-year-old Gossip Girl star slammed the Catholic Church during a New Zealand radio interview -- all while making lewd jokes about sleeping with clergymen.

"I was raised Catholic," Momsen said. "I f***ed a priest once -- I'm just kidding."

But the aspiring rocker insists that she does take issue with priests who have been accused of molesting children, which is why she penned the song "Going Down" with her band, The Pretty Reckless.

"It seemed like a very fitting song to write at the time," Momsen explained. "It was kind of a f*** you to all the molestation going on. It was just insane."

But the Catholic Church isn't the only group she's targeting this time: she's also slamming critics who question her comments about using a vibrator.

"I'm not a wh*re for mast**bating, so f*** you if you want to call me one," Momsen sniped. "I think women should equally be allowed to pleasure themselves as much as men. I think that if that has any more controversy than a man talking about pleasuring himself, then there's something wrong with the world."

Taylor Monsem: I don't own a computer!



“I don’t own a computer, so I don’t really look at that stuff,” she says.

No computer? OK, now that’s shocking.

“Oh, it’s because it’s dangerous,” she explains – that and her last computer broke and she hasn’t bothered to replace it yet (she’s not a teenage luddite or anything). “You have to avoid Googling yourself,” she says. “There’s nothing nice that comes with that.”

Nevertheless, her celebrity status has brought The Pretty Reckless some attention. Momsen’s just not sure if that’s a blessing or a much blogged-about curse. “It has good things and bad things about it. You have the audience that likes the show [Gossip Girl] and it’s a built-in audience that will listen to the record,” she says — though she’s doubtful that hardcore GG fans will be into the alt-rock of the Pretty Reckless. “I don’t think that the Gossip Girl audience is listening to Soundgarden that much, you know what I mean?” she says, giggling.

“The only thing I can hope for is that they’ll enjoy the record because they’re the first people who are going to hear it, and an audience who wouldn’t listen to it because of my career, I hope they give it a chance, and don’t just shut it out because of pre-determined – like ‘She’s Jenny Humphrey?’ F*ck that.’

Taylor Momsen Coming back to GOSSIP GIRL



With six weeks to go before the Sept. 13 season premiere of Gossip Girl, producers are beginning to get chatty about the new season and the much-anticipated Paris episodes. In addition to debuting the first footage from the two-episode arc for TV critics Thursday, producers also confirmed-- parlez vous spoilers? -- that, duh, Chuck Bass is totally alive (but he'll be walking with a cane!). They also revealed that scenes were shot at Musee D'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, Gare du Nord and Avenue Montaigne.

Some other tidbits and teases from executive producers Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz:

-- Taylor Momsen's Jenny Humphrey will definitely return next fall. "We wanna keep it up in the air where her character will go," Savage says, once again refusing to spill much. "Obviously she left in a dramatic fashion at end of last season. We’re excited about being able to create some tension about her character. I don’t want to say exactly which episode (she returns), but it’ll be in first half of season."

-- A giant female music personality is close to signing on for a guest role. "She'll not only preform an original song but will also act with the characters," Savage teases. "She's both new and iconic." (Madonna, perhaps?) Look for the performance during episode seven, right in time for November sweeps.

-- Yes, Dan is seen with Georgina's baby in an early episode. But is the kid, you know, his? Savage isn't being helpful: "Georgina's baby is Georgina's baby," she told us. "And you will learn all as the episodes unfold." But she did promise the show would not be doing "a baby fake-out" and said we'll "be seeing Georgina Sparks in more ways than one." (Wait, is that sign of a twin twist?)

As for what seems to be a teen pregnancy storyline, Savage argues: Not really. "Is Georgina really a teen? I think she might be immortal. She may be 200 years old," Savage says. The storyline will balance laughs and drama, she added: "There's a lot of humor coming from young people trying to deal with this unexpected situation, but there's also a lot of underlying heart and emotion in the story, too."
-- Some more on Chuck, post-shooting: "He has a cane and we discover that he may not have gotten the best medical care possible," Savage says.

-- Sorry, Carla Bruni will not be making a visit to Gossip Paris. Nor will Woody Allen, even though the director "was shooting while we were there," Savage says. "We were hoping we would run across them so we could have a random shot of Woody and Serena crossing the street."

-- What up with Vanessa and Dan? "Vanessa is back from Haiti and she's definitely going to be in the Dan story," Savage says.

-- Savage confirmed a report from earlier this month that the show will do an episode tied to Vogue's Fashion's Night Out. Diane von Furstenberg will have a cameo.

-- If Savage gets her way, there'll be more Gossip road trips in the future. "When we came away from Paris, we were like, 'Tokyo!' Now that we’ve done it once, we’re completely arrogant and want to take on all countries. International travel is part of the characters' lives. We’d love to do more of it."

Taylor Momsen slams Miley Cyrus!!



Taylor Momsen sat down with 411mania and she was asked about her last week's controversial comments where she slammed Miley Cyrus

One of the things that gets reported on a lot is Taylor's comments about Miley Cyrus. In a recent interview Taylor was once again compared to Disney's teen queen, which prompted this reaction:

"I'm not looking to be Miley f*cking Cyrus. I don't care about the fame. I do it because I love music. I like making records and if people like them, then we'll go along for the ride."

I asked Taylor if there was a feud with Miley. "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 shit. 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."
