Why do I get the feeling that if you didn’t know who Taylor Momsen was coming into 2010, you definitely will by 2011? Because chick is starting down the LiLo path early.
Celebslam just posted these pics of the 16-year-old star brooding around the Gossip Girl set today, fresh cigarette betwixt her pouty lips.
While I’m sure the look she’s going for is I-am-too-cool-for-school, her adolescent nicotine addiction doesn’t reconcile with her support of St. Jude’s Cancer Research Program to fight pediatric cancer. Does she not understand that the easiest way to fight cancer in kids is to not smoke while you’re a kid?
Not only that, but I seem to remember her making a big deal about how important it is to be healthy. She was hospitalized in 2008 with a life-threatening throat infection, but apparently was peeved enough about the rumors that she talked to OK! about her super-healthy lifestyle:
After she was felled by the flu last year while working on the Gossip Girl set, Taylor Momsen reveals she’s not taking her health lightly, and has been working to ward off any more illnesses with a good diet and exercise.
Taylor says she skips read meat [sic], and eats lots of vegetables.
“I eat really healthy and I work out,” she told reporters at last night’s Whitney Museum of America Art Gala in NYC. “I dance and go to the gym a little bit here and there.”
Gotta love a girl who won’t eat cow but will smoke a Camel.

Now there’s some hypocrisy.
Reminds me of that Christina Applegate, going on a major PR campaign about her breast cancer, only to get busted smoking on the sly two weeks later.
“Gotta love a girl who won’t eat cow but will smoke a Camel.”
LOL, love it. I guess she didn’t do enough “dancing” to keep the pounds off.
So…it’s legal for a 16-year-old to smoke? Or does the law only come down on the side of not SELLING her the cigarettes in person, because I’m assuming someone else bought them for her?
I know, it’s beside the point. Just wondered.
Um, it depends on the state. I don’t know about New York. Here in Ohio they made both (selling to and consumption by minors) illegal a few years ago. Doesn’t make much sense not to…
Yes, honey, smoking makes you look muuuch older. When are teens going to realize that they just look like kids smoking, not older or cooler? If you look like you’re fourteen (which is how old she looks to me), smoking a cigarette just makes you look like a fourteen year old smoking a cigarette. And with all the crap known about tobacco and cigarette additives, choosing to start lighting up shows a distinct lack of foresight and inability to think long-term, characteristics of the young and/or immature.
If you are dumb enough to start smoking now, you should have to sign a waiver stating you won’t be able to try to collect money from the cigarette companies for catering to your stupidity and promising to be responsible for all health care costs related to smoking.
My grandfather died last year after suffering from emphysema for the last decade. He smoked since his teens in the early 1940s (as did my grandmother), before most of the dangers of smoking were really known. I don’t completely blame people like him for the habit, but anyone who took up smoking since the 1970s has absolutely no excuse. You know it’s bad for you. At least own it.
Lastly: don’t wear skirts like that if you don’t have the legs for it. Momsen doesn’t.
Red (Read?) Meat is not bad for you…
GREEN, FUZZY MEAT IS BAD FOR YOU!
She freaks me out… totally dead behind the eyes, like someone from “Children of the Corn.”
at first glance, she does look a lot like Lilo and it seems as though she idolizes her as she is aging as fast as liitle Lindsey. And yes, I am sure it is illegal for a 16 year old to buy cigarrettes, but remember, she is a celebrity so those laws do not apply to her. All I know is my mom would have grounded me for my whole junior year if I left the house looking like someone who works the corner from midnight to 5 am.
So I take it her role on the show is teen prostitute?
Yes, and she’s a Method actress, apparently.

Momsen needs to see this.
Minimum age for smoking in every state is 18 years, even though they dont enforce it. I used to tell kids, only a few years younger than myself, to drop the butts when they entered the stored I worked at or remain outside till security arrived. Needless to say I recieved a lot of nasty looks but none had the balls to argue it.
I’m shocked when an actress DOESN’T smoke.
Tay-Tay here isn’t the least bit concerned about health. Not eating meat + smoking = trying to keep off the lbs.. I’m sure her legal-aged assistant or set gofers buy her smokes for her.
Odd, I could’ve sworn she was at least in her twenties.
