By the time Lindsay Lohan was 17, she was living on her own at the Chateau Marmont, hooking up with older men, propositioning other older men, kicking off a crank journey that continues today. Taylor Momsen in 16. She says she feels much older. That she is more mature than those her age. That she’s in a band, is an actor, is an artist, and therefore doesn’t need to go to school. Full Story

Taylor Momsen celebrated her 16th birthday yesterday by performing with her band Pretty Reckless in New York. As you can see, she looks 16 the way Miley Cyrus does. And the way Ali Lohan does. In other words, 35 and plucked. Awesome. Taylor is also celebrating her Teen Vogue cover and an interview that serves to convince us of her maturity and artistry. Full Story

Palm Sunday yesterday… This is Taylor Momsen, 15 years old, of Gossip Girl, walking back from church with her sister and her mom. If I looked like this for church, my mother in law would feed me bad sausage. But an old school Polish lady is not the mother of a child star. This mother of a child star is a style plate herself. Full Story

In New York today on set at Gossip Girl. Everyone else between scenes is bundled up, including the adorable Leighton Meester but Taylor Momsen, a meltdown waiting to happen, appears to be immune to the frost, and looks older than everyone else. Almost older than even Kelly Rutherford. This is what Benjamin Button SHOULD have been about: why do kids these days turn 40 on their 16th birthdays? By the way, is Lily getting pregnant? Because back in the Cosby Show days it was one thing…but now, now the paper bag routine, or I guess on the UES it’s a Birkin, the Birkin cover up is getting tired. Full Story

Last night’s Gossip Girl… not so sharp. And still a not so sharp Gossip Girl is much much MUCH more watchable than 90210. Seriously. What happened there? How did they screw that up? Sorry to digress. Once again we were treated to a gluttonous display of Serena’s breasts. Once again, Blair and Chuck proved we could easily watch an entire season about them ONLY and the world would be a better place. Full Story

They say Brooklyn is cool. If Brooklyn is so cool, why do the Humphreys live there? Because the Humphreys all suck ass. All of them. Ugh. Last night’s Gossip Girl wasn’t the best. Probably because there wasn’t enough Chuck. Mostly because there was too much Dan. And Jenny. And that smarmy too hipster little Aaron is a cheese noodle. Full Story

If she’s really sick…my bad and I won’t speak of the sad smut. But this is Hollywood. And she’s a child star. And she parades around on the red carpet desperating herself into stardom. Right now it’s open season. Especially since her rep AND THE DOCTOR had to issue a pre-emptive strike about her “near fatal condition”. Full Story

Big sigh of relief! Last night’s episode of Gossip Girl was the show’s highest rated as the numbers for Season 2 continue to climb. And deservedly so. You watched The Dark Night, right? It was the hottest, right? Blair’s chemistry with Chuck is… electric. Full Story

To Season 2 of Gossip Girl. If you are a fan, the wait is well worth it. Judging by the first three episodes, suffice to say, the show is as dirty and as delicious as ever. A few harmless spoilers? Look out! Serena and Dan are as boring as ever even when they’re not supposed to be boring. Only those two can make teen sex seem sleepy. Full Story

I’m mad at Colby P but he brings up a very interesting discussion point: That white hot naughty Gossip Girl cover for New York Magazine – you will note, Taylor Momsen who plays little Jenny is stripped down and full of temptation. But she’s only 14. She was born in 1993. 1993!!! Is it the industry? Or is it the f&cking stage parents? Discuss. Full Story
