About 24 hours ago, I wrote about Taylor Momsen’s newest interview with Teen Vogue in which she said that she can’t relate to people her own age. I cannot lie: I thought Taylor was about 20 until I read that article. She turned 16 this past weekend, making her eight months younger than Miley Cyrus.
Remember when everyone was upset at the Vanity Fair pics in which Miley was wrapped in a sheet and looking slightly ravished? Or the one of her and her dad that made them look a little bit like they belonged on an eHarmony banner?
Why is no one this upset over Taylor Momsen’s completely age-inappropriate actions? Why is no one wondering where this child’s parents are? She’s sixteen, can’t relate to her own age group, has had lots of boyfriends, and last night was on a stage wearing a black lace bra and hot pink negligee. Is this okay? Have times just changed so much that, as long as you aren’t under contract to Disney, this is acceptable?
Finally, is there some pre-admission paperwork that can be done for Momsen’s stint at Betty Ford? Because it is going to happen at some point. I know you can’t apply broad brush strokes to every teen, but this one seems textbook. It’s as if her troubled, fast lane, headed-for-disaster life is unfolding right before our eyes.
Taylor never claims to be virginal and pure.
I couldn’t agree with you more, Wendie!
And don’t forget she was hospitalised earlier this year or late last year for a “potentially life-threatening” something or other…ie, overdose
She had a “throat infection”…
exactly, she never claimed to be virginal and pure. at 16 I wasn’t playing with barbies, i was dressing like that, going to shows, going to the warped tour, sneaking out of my house (much like the rest of my friends in our catholic high school lol) 16 is a sophomore in high school, they’re stupid, they have no idea what to do and they think they’re adults. but at least she’s not claiming to be anything she’s not (the way britney and lindsay used to)
Soooo right…. Aaahh Warped Tour… stupid Atlantic ocean. America maybe should understand that 16 yo are usually sexually active and more mature than they’re thought to be.
Yes, they might be sexually active BUT does that mean it’s right to be? Many people are occasional abusers with alcohol, drugs or sex and yet it doesn’t make them right. If you want the American or even every society to improve, then 16 yr olds shouldn’t behave like they’ve been there or done that because they haven’t! She better be put under the Disney ban for her good.

yes, it’s ok to be sexually active at 16. as long as you’re practice safe sex and it’s not interfering with your social or “professional” (aka school) life, why not?
Because some things shouldn’t be rushed. She has all of her life to have sex, work and drink if she wants. But her childhood and teenage years will never come again. Someday she will be very sorry she skipped them and no one will be able to help her. She might try to recreate those times but it’s never the same.
If she is so “sexually active” at the age of 16 then by the age of 35 she will be totally worn out. Good luck with that.

You leave Britney out of this, fucker.
She kind of looks like Courtney Love : /
LOL I WAS GOING TO LEAVE THE EXACT COMMENT
I thought it WAS C. Love!
Ah! I was also going to toss out the C. Love look-a-like comment as well. Lets hope it’s just her outfit and hair that end up resembling miss Love.
I imagine people got their panties in a bunch over Miley soooo much more because she’s marketed towards teeny boppers, small children and the Disney audience in general. Most parents wouldn’t let that age group watch Gossip Girl – let’s hope. Seems like Taylor just looks slutty but hasn’t necessarily behaved THAT badly, but I guess only time will tell.
I totally agree with you Wendie.. Absolutely..
And i am wondering where the hell are her parents..
too bad her band sucks
all i see is courtney love. le sigh.
I’d go to her house for some sweet tea anytime, even if there was a hidden camera. Jailbait, schmailbait.
I think she’s either incredibly stupid, or incredibly smart.
Can’t decide.
She’s 16 therefore she’s stupid. But like someone above said, I was stupid too at 16.
so how’s 17?
ummm…..i lost my train of thought for a moment. what were you saying the girls at school said about you today?

I don’t think they need to get her bed ready at Betty Ford quite yet because from what I’ve seen and heard of her she’s more bark than bite.
She seems like she’s in such a rush to grow up. She needs to stop wearing lingerie out in public, pretending to be some kind of rock star, and stop wearing makeup that makes her resemble some kind of raccoon.
I really hope she doesn’t end up a drug addict. She seems like nice girl.
She’s acting like a crackwhore on stage, dressing like a prostitute, and talking like slapper, the reason people arent caring in the media is because no-one cares! She’s a nobody trying to be the big man by talking all this crap, and no-one actually gives a damn if she fucks every music producer in the biz or if she wears her underwear on stage, or if she overdoses, or where her parents are. No-one actually cares what Taylor Momsen does.
For people to care you need to connect with the audience (be the pretty little sweet humble girl everyone wants to see and actually care about), she’s isolated her audience royally, and therefore she has no people that care what she does!
People care what Miley does so she gets media around her, and people CARE if she goes down the wrong road and ends up messed up, like they cared with Britney and Lindsay – whereas no-one at all cares if little J ends up the crackwhore she’s dressing like, so thats why there is no uproar about her slutty interview. Its quite likely the people buying that magazing skipped past the nobody on that page and read the rest of the mag as usual.
I could not agree more, no one cares about her, she’s a nobody and she’s actually behaving like any other teenager pretending to be all grown up and telling anyone who would listen how smart she thinks she is and how all the other 16 yo kids are stupid and inmature…
Some people think acting in any outlandish manner, getting a lot of attention by acting in immoral and shocking ways is a great life and they’d rather be dead than change, or hide it.
isn’t she one of beet’s favorites? or am i mistaking her with someone else?
oh, and add me to the list of people who think she looks like courtney love.
hmm, i’m old – so all i see is blondie…
i think she looks great – and think it is amazing that she already knows what she wants and is going for it in such a substantial way.
i’m sure she’ll stumble along the way, because we all do – but until then, why not give her the benefit of the doubt and congratulate her on doing so much at such a young age?
She was so cute in the Grinch movie…now she looks like a crackwhore. ):
I was thinking the same thing! I have a little cousin who was the spitting image of the Grinch version of her. Hopefully my cuz has more brains–I know she’s being raised better!
“Why is no one this upset over Taylor Momsen’s completely age-inappropriate actions?”
which age-inappropriate actions are those? the way she’s dressed? there are children under the age of ten who are fans of hannah montana and miley cyrus while gossip girl is a soap opera aimed at teenagers. i’d hardly call performing in a band and dressing the part that big a deal. you can still have your head screwed on straight.
DUUUUDE i thought she was courtney love when i saw the picture!
She’s like the poor man’s courtney love: pussy version.
whatever, so she’s a dumb slut teen, or at least plays the part. I’m sure she loves the shit she gets for it.
It just looks like a babydoll dress to me.
