Does This Mean Taylor Momsen Won’t be Going to Prom?

Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen is on the cover of August’s Teen Vogue.  Wait — Teen Vogue is still in print?  Apparently so.

Anyway, Momsen explains that even though she’s only 16-years-old, she’s much older on an intellectual level.  “I live a very adult life.  I have two different careers; I’m on tour.  What am I going to do, hang out with high school kids? I just can’t relate to what they talk about – it seems so petty.” 

Momsen also talks about all the relationships she’s been in even though she should be a sophmore in high school (she graduated two years early).  “I’m not dating anyone right now, but I’ve had lots of relationships. My parents know that I’m not going to date someone who’s sixteen. Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is.  I would eat a boy my age alive.”

Taylor admits to modeling since age two, even though she’s quick to say that she wasn’t pushed into it (I know I let my toddlers make all their own career decisions).  However, music seems to be her passion as she fronts band Pretty Reckless.  Thankfully, she has been able to blaze her own path creatively and didn’t end up being Hannah Montana — a role that she was in the final stages of auditions for.  “I think it’s a great opportunity for Miley [Cyrus], but yeah, I guess I am relieved [that I didn’t get it]. If I had gotten the part, it would be a very different show. It wouldn’t have worked for me. I push back.”

It seems sad to be so “adult” and jaded at the age of 16.  It’s a long, damn life and sixteen is supposed to be about boys and eye shadow and hoping you’re not pregnant.  Isn’t it?

  • She’s no different than any other bratty 16 year old: she is self-indulgent and find herself very important…..sounds like most teenagers I know! Just because she receives large sums of money and her parents allow her to get banged by older men does not make her mature – just sad in all actuality!

  • Hey Wendie – did you enjoy the story Sasha told you about my chat with Shanna Moakler and your post where you used her tweets?

  • Hahaha she’s a right loser! I think its the coke talking! Hahaha! She’s your typical 16 for sure! The whole ‘im so over the following the crowd thing and im like so mature’ blah blah while following the crowd and acting like a prostitute! I cringe everytime i see a photo of her because its pathetic! If it were cool right now to act like a glamorous diva she’d be dressing completely differently, rather than following the random trend set out by Twilight – new punk with a hint of lack of washing and the over-used ‘i dont give a fuck’ attitude! “I’m not dating anyone right now, but I’ve had lots of relationships” – YOU ARE 16 KID!! Thats just code for whore!! I reckon (oooh check out my rant – she just bugs me) that she’s had “lots of relationships” because as soon as the guy she’s her the next day without all the make-up on he gets the wave of ‘havent i seen u before?!’ and that christmas at Grandma’s watching The Grinch will flash into his head n realise ‘hell, that was only 2 years ago!’, cue next guy to repeat the experiment on!

    Can we ban her from the site??

  • “It’s a long, damn life and sixteen is supposed to be about boys and eye shadow and hoping you’re not pregnant. Isn’t it?”

    hahahaha this made me laugh. it sure was for me.

    • I find her irritating, but i cannot agree more wholeheartedly. anyone have any idea where i could get one?

  • In this picture she reminds me of Christina Applegate from the Married with Children days.
    And she (unfortunatly) does sound like most other bratty 16 yo’s.

  • Ohhh boy. If that isn’t asking karma to dump on you I don’t know what is. She is less mature than the average 16 year old. She hasn’t experienced the things necessary to create maturity. Getting laid and making money don’t do the trick. This kind of screams mini Katherine Heigel doesn’t it.

  • OMG she looks so much older than 16! Will everyone please stop criticizing her the whole time? Taylor is who she is, yeah she does look a bit OTT sometimes but she still looks damn sexy!
    My birthday is july 12, I’m 14 days older than her; trust me she looks way older than anyone her age. Nothing wrong with that…is there?
