Rebellious 18 year-old brat Taylor Momsen said that she has permanently quit acting. She was released from Gossip Girl in May and now she says that she wants to continue to be a singer-songwriter for her rock band, The Pretty Reckless.

Taylor did an interview with Elle magazine where she let everyone know what her plans are.

"I quit Gossip Girl and now tour and am in a band. That's pretty much all I want to do. Hopefully, I'll be able to only do that for the rest of my life."

It's not like Momsen was the next Mila Kunis or Emma Stone. Her acting sucked anyway. She won't be missed, but it's cute that she claims she "quit" Gossip Girl when they reportedly fired her a*s.

If you thought she was skanky before, wait til you see what Taylor Momsen will do now that she's legal!

The Gossip Girl star and Pretty Reckless singer has been smoking, drinking, and flashing in public for a some time, but now she can do two of those things legally! Congrats?

Well, at least now we can all feel a bit less creepy when Tay-Tay starts showing off the goods in concert. A 17 year-old who likes to take her clothes off in public? Gross. An 18 year-old who likes to take her clothes off in public? Awesome! Happy birthday, Taylor!

It's been a few months since Taylor Momsen received any of the attention she thinks she deserves, so naturally the obnoxious goth teenager had to get back into the spotlight the only way she knows how: by showing the world her boobs!

Tay Tay lifted her shirt to show her underage breasts and duct-taped nipples to an audience in Leicestershire England recently, and I don't know what's more shocking: that a 17 year-old is showing her breasts to a crowd of thousands, or that Taylor Momsen was able to attract a crowd of thousands to see her perform.

This isn't the first time Taylor has used nudity to get our attention, but it might be the most blatant. It's OK, though; I have a plan. Goth fame whores need controversy to live, so if we all just ignore her and pretend there's nothing weird about a famous high school-age stripper, eventually she'll go away.

Being skanky is pretty much Taylor Momsen's only talent and she's pretty much pulled out all the stops already at age 17. She's already shown the world all her bits and pieces and talked openly about her love of dildos, so short of releasing a sex tape (which I'm sure we'll get the day she turns legal) Taylor is running out of ways to get attention. I guess it was only a matter of time before she resorted to the tried-and-true method that's worked for desperate drunk girls at frat parties for decades: public girl-on-girl action!

That's Taylor bumpin' and grindin' on some random chick at a recent concert. Apparently, Tay Tay has made rubbing her herpes crotch on some unsuspecting female audience member a regular part of her stage show. Yes, I just suggested a 17 year-old girl is crawling with venereal disease. If you think I've gone too far, this is obviously the first you've heard of Taylor Momsen. 

Never one to half-ass acts of attention whorism and lunacy, Taylor Momsen hit the stage in a "I F*ck For Satan" T-shirt. While one doesn't have to agree with what Taylor says or does, there's no disputing that this 17 year-old child star knows how to make headlines.

She'll show you her boobs because she wants to, and she'll talk about sex tapes and masturbation promotion because she feels like it. Once Taylor's legal, I expect her to start smoking joints outta her snatch and having sex with fans for the encore.

If Britney Spears had never become famous, she'd probably be quietly squeezing out welfare babies in some Louisiana trailer park. She might be married to some three-toothed Cletus, living off of her settlement money from the time she slipped at Wal-Mart, and wondering what might have been if she had gone to that Mickey Mouse Club audition when she was nine. It may not have been a perfect life, but in many ways, it would've been better than turning into a bald-headed crazy pants in front of the entire world.

Britney was never cut out for fame. At least not the kind of fame that force you to fake your virginity at 16 and keeps you in front of paparazzi cameras for the rest of your natural life. She's a sad case in a lot of ways. Forced to face pressure and scrutiny that most of us will never know at the height of her awkward phase, Britney has suffered the kind of public ridicule and lack of a private life that would take a toll on anyone, and it nearly ruined her. I mean, let's not feel too sorry for Brit. The pile of money she sleeps on is probably pretty good for drying tears. Point is, she's paid a price for that outrageous fortune.

Naturally, Brit's meltdown came to mind for a lot of people last week when video of fellow ex-child star Miley Cyrus smoking a bong hit the internet. But for me, the connection between Britney and Miley ends with the fact that they both hit the big time by suppressing their sluttiness for Disney. I don't think Miley was blindsided by fame. I think she's a smarter, savvier Britney 2.0 who saw what happened to the young stars of the generation before hers and quit the fake innocent act as soon as she turned legal. When I look at the video of her clearing a bong like a pro, I don't see an imperiled young woman trying to cope with the pressures of fame; I see a typical 18 year-old enjoying her youth and success. Miley seems more confident, more aware of what she's doing than Britney. I bet she wasn't even surprised when one of her friends leaked the bong tape to TMZ. She knows the price of fame, and she seems determined to keep her notoriety from interfering with being a typical, dumb-@ss teenager. And sometimes being a dumb teen means smoking bongs with your friends.

Similarly, it's hard to look at Taylor Momsen without thinking of another snotty young actress whose attitude and bad press often overshadowed her talent. In fact, one look at Taylor, with her drunk cougar makeup and slutty underwear outfits, seems to suggest she's a much bigger train wreck than Lindsay Lohan was at 17. Hell, at that age, Lindsay was still pretending to be a sane, sober part of the Disney machine. Even so, Taylor just seems better suited to the limelight than Lindsay ever was. She doesn't suffer from the delusion that she can do whatever she wants and still get by on the good girl act. She knows we're all watching her every move, so she's open about the fact that she's a parent's worst nightmare. As a result, she'll probably get all this sh!t out of her system while she's young instead of bottling it up until she becomes a truly insane f*ck-up in her mid-twenties.

Damn her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taylor Momsen is making me like her again. Taylor is currently touring in Europe and she had an interview with The Guardian where she spoke out about female masturbation. Again.

Taylor said: “I’m a promoter of masturbation. Don’t sleep around—learn yourself first! Guys do, but girls don’t. And that’s why girls have so many bad experiences. But you can know your body, know yourself, know what feels good."

Taylor also encourages young girls to wait before they begin having sex: "You don’t have to give yourself away just to have sexual relevance. Because I don’t think sex is something people should be afraid of. It’s part of human nature, so I don’t think it should be so shameful—particularly for girls and young girls.”

I agree with everything that Taylor said and I will leave it at that. Firecracker must plead the fifth on this one cause you know I have a lot to say. Such topics don't embarrass me, but I don't want to offend all of my nun readers who read this site religiously, bad pun intended.

As I've said before, I differ from the other POTP writers and the rest of the world, in that rather than hating Taylor Momsen, I actually sit at home scrawling her name all over my textbook covers, with the "o's" replaced by little hearts. Unfortunately, despite acting like a 48 year-old biker bar skank, Taylor is only 17, which means that To Catch a Predator dude is probably on his way to my house right now.

Taylor acted like her usual slutty self in Madrid recently, taking her habit of flashing audiences to new, weird levels by showing her @ss to a crowd of randy Spaniards. If this is the new trend, I guess I can get behind it (no awful pun intended). Then again, Taylor Momsen could tell me the new trend was guys putting razor blades under their eyelids and I'd sit there crying blood while I pretended to like her awful band.

Anyway, with the way Taylor's been showing her boobs to the entire world, I've been getting a little bored with them. It's good to see her mixing it up by mooning Madrid. God knows how she'll try to keep things interesting once she's legal.

Sigh. Every time Taylor Momsen comes up, I feel like I'm at an AA meeting. I have a terrible secret to confess, so I might as well just get it out of the way right off the bat: I don't hate Taylor Momsen.

I know. She's an obnoxious, ungrateful brat, who doesn't even look hot in the street-walker clothes she wears on stage, and her transformation into her generation's Courtney Love is depressing to watch and could devolve into full-blown tragedy. Even so, in a world of goody-good Taylor Swift types, it's nice to see that's someone is still running their mouth and acting a fool, the way famous teenagers are supposed to. Sure, it might all be a carefully-constructed stage persona, but still...

Unfortunately, it seems like Taylor's been pulling back on the crazy lately. In a recent interview she was asked about reports that she's been fired from her hit show Gossip Girl because of her attitude. Rather than put a cigarette out in her own eye and spit in the reporter's face like I expected, Taylor calmly addressed the rumor saying, "It's complete BS. I'm still definitely on the show. Please don't buy the crap of the magazines."

She then went on to reveal what a "shy romantic" she is, and discussed her love of making dolls from discarded rags. Seriously. Ugh...just when I thought I found the future mother of my crack babies, Taylor has to go and clean up her act. Nothing for me to do now but sit around and wait for an Amy Winehouse comeback.

Taylor Momsen, 17, is such a bad@ss that she got her raccoon self suspended from Gossip Girl. The rebellious Goth slut has been placed on an "indefinite hiatus" from the CW's hit show.

Although Taylor has been a part of the cast since its 2007 debut, she has only appeared in three episodes so far this season.

Then and Now: Taylor in 2007 on the left, Taylor today, on the right

A source revealed, "She only does [the show] for the money. She works hard on Gossip Girl but doesn't care about the plot or the other cast members. She treats it like a 9-5. No emotional investment."

Tim Gunn had an appearance on a recent Gossip Girl episode and he put Taylor on blast, saying: "What a diva! She was pathetic, she couldn't remember her lines, and she didn't even have that many. I thought to myself 'why are we all being held hostage by this brat?'" But there's more.
