[juliahearts]

i really like her music.

 

[#strawberry#]

New (?) promo pic

I'd love to see what her dress looks like

 

[AgrenateD]

it's good she toned down with the raccoon eyes in that shot.


oh wait. that's a Gossip Girl snap right? she looks too clean to be Taylor

 

[yesitsdagny]

WOW, is it really you, Taylor??? the last photo is stunning, I wish she would always look that pretty and cute

 

[Suhzie]

Taylor look great in this latest pic! She's so much prettier when she's not wearing all that eyeliner, imo. Her necklaces are great as well!

 

[Cicciolina]

She looks great in the last pic. It looks like she's wearing her school uniform and following on what Eric Daman said, she's mixing up Serena and Blair's styles. The ruffled shirt is quite Blair and the loose tie over the top is exactly how Serena wore it in the first few episodes.

The hair and makeup - now that's all Jenny/Taylor

Please keep on topic - this is a Style thread.

[Boomer]

[farou7a]

The Gossip Girl actress — who also fronts a band, The Pretty Reckless, as well as starring in the hit U.S. TV show — says she “cares too much” about her job to hit the town every night.
“I care too much about my job,” said the 16-year-old when asked if she intends to embrace the Hollywood party scene. “I really don’t care about fame and tabloids and all that s**t. It’s so easy to buy into, but it will just destroy you”.
“I really care about acting. I also really care about my music, which keeps me happy. I think when you lose sight of what you love, that’s when you can fall off track”.
“I don’t like to go out. I don’t like big group situations, I wouldn’t be a party girl, it’s not me. I might play a gig at a club, but I don’t go out to dance clubs. It’s like with drinking and all that s**t, I’m not the kind of person who would find that fun.”

The makeup and extensions are truly awful. Her comments and interviews make her seem insufferable; how do people on the set of GG put up with her? I think she's being an obnoxious teenage brat, and she will eventually (hopefully!) grow out of it and be very embarassed at the attitude she's displaying now. Pretty girl, style needs a bit of work (rock/punk is cool, but this is almost a caricature of that) and tone down the 'tude please! Very unattractive.

 

[Boomer]

^ I can't imagine why, other than really being a self involved brat, she would continue this routine- she is doing absolutely nothing to win friends and help her career...

 

[4everinprogress]

I think that she's just going through her rebellious teen years. I remember a lot of girls in junior high and high school who had this 'eff the world attitude, wore crazy outfits and even crazier hairstyles and makeup. Unlike most teens though, Taylor is in the spotlight so we see and hear her go through this perfectly normal phase. She's just trying to figure out who she is/wants to be and she's expressing herself accordingly.

She seems to be taking this quote to heart.
"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not."

Actress Taylor Momsen is best known to audiences as Gossip Girl’s rebellious Jenny Humphrey. But the 16-year-old is hoping that soon people will also see her as a rock star. Momsen and her band, the Pretty Reckless, are set to drop their debut album this summer and have recently released their first single, “Make Me Wanna Die,” which is on the Kick-*** soundtrack. EW chatted with Momsen about this new career path.
EW: Your band, the Pretty Reckless, has a song (“Make Me Wanna Die”) on the Kick-*** soundtrack.

Taylor Momsen: It’s a tragic love song. It’s Romeo and Juliet—can’t live without your lover so you die. It’s the Pretty Reckless’ first single. We just shot a video for it, but I don’t wanna say too much. It fits the song. It’s very dark.
EW: How’s the album progressing?
TM: It’s coming out this summer. We wrote it as a record, so every song is part of a bigger thing. I don’t know—I just want people to hear it!
EW: Who would you say is your biggest musical inspiration?
TM: The Beatles did everything first, and they did it the best.
EW: You’re often compared to Courtney Love.
TM: I don’t wanna be Courtney Love—I wanna be Kurt Cobain. He’s brilliant and his songs are genius. The Hole records are great. Everyone always compares me to Courtney Love because they think we like dress the same and we both have blond hair, wear lipstick and dresses. But I’m sorry, don’t a lot of girls dress like that? I look at Nirvana. I don’t look at Hole.
EW: How do you imagine juggling music and acting?
TM: I’ve been acting since I was 2. I don’t dislike it by any means, but it’s a job to me. It can never be as personal as music, because you’re playing a character and saying someone else’s words. Music is who I am.
EW: Your GG costar Leighton Meester is also trying to launch a music career. Ever talk about it?
TM: No. I’m not really close with my cast. We’re all cordial and nice to each other, but we’re not really friends outside of the set. And we’re doing a different thing: She’s putting out a pop record, which is awesome.
EW: I heard Jenny is going to be MIA for the beginning of next season.
TM: I’m gonna be on tour. But as far as next season goes I don’t really know what’s going on. I don’t wanna talk about that because it’s up in the air. At the end of the season, you’ll see.
EW: I saw you perform in New York City last year, and you seemed to have forgotten to put on pants. What was up with that?
TM: I don’t really like pants, man. I like tights. I’m not really a pants person.
EW: You’re a rocker now—you can choose not to wear pants.
TM: And I do! I choose not to wear pants.

Interesting. I thought the cast were good friends? Maybe just some of them.

 

[DanielaDany]

I'm curious if they aren't really close or it's just Taylor... not being close with them.

 

[Aqua Tofana]

"not really close with MY cast"?! Sorry girl, I thought it wasn't your cast, I thought it was Gossip Girl's.

 

[farou7a]

I'm curious if they aren't really close or it's just Taylor... not being close with them.

i think it is just her maybe?
because chace and ed are good friends and apparently leighton and blake get along?
im guessing they DO have their own things to do obvz but theyre just not too too friendly with her (or her with them)

 

[Boomer]

^ You know Taylor is a lot younger than most of the others, so it's not really surprising in her case...

 

[farou7a]

yeh.. which is understandable..
