BTW, is there some story line developing that calls for her dramatic change in dress and so on, or is this her new image??
Here's the latest on her condition tonight from People.com:
Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen has been hospitalized with a serious throat infection, according to her doctor Shawn Nasseri.
"She has been hospitalized for a severe, potentially life-threatening throat infection since Sunday," Nasseri said in a letter provided by Momsen's manager.
