Oh, Jenny Humphrey, Rufus will not be happy! Former 'Gossip Girl' star Taylor Momsen stripped down for a brand-new music video by her band The Pretty Reckless. Taylor Momsen has always been one to push the boundaries since her days on Gossip Girl came to an end. But Taylor's latest nude video certainly tops everything she's ever done before. Taylor recorded "Under the Water" in black and white, with most of it featuring shots of her eyes, hair and hands. At the very end of the video, which was posted on Amp Rock TV, a nude and very gaunt looking Taylor appears. On Amp Rock TV's website, it states, "Amp Rock TV is proud to be showcasing a unique series of captivating films from some of music's most innovative and successful artists.

Taylor Momsen appears in a new spoken word music video for her band, The Pretty Reckless, in which she stands completely naked while reading a verse from her song "Under the Water" for Amp Rock TV's initiative, "The Words."
The 19-year-old rocker poetically reads off lyrics from the track, while black and white images of her body flash across the screen until it is revealed that she is, in fact, nude.
What a far cry from the days when Momsen played innocent teen Jenny Humphrey on The CW's "Gossip Girl."
Showing off her trademark raccoon eyes, a naked Momsen reads:
Lay my head under the water, lay my head under the sea. Excuse me sir am I your daughter? Won't you take me back and see? It's not a time for being younger and all my friends are enemies. And if I cried unto my mother, she wasn't there for me.

Little J and Eric van der Woodsen’s on-screen relationship pales in comparison to the real-life friendship between former Gossip Girl stars Taylor Momsen and Connor Paolo. While both went on to pursue new endeavors after leaving the CW – for Momsen, a worldwide tour with her rock band The Pretty Reckless, and for Paolo, a job on ABC’s freshman drama Revenge – the duo remain close-knit pals. During an October performance at the Palladium in Los Angeles, Paolo could be heard cheering loudly from the V.I.P. section as Momsen hit the stage with her band.

For a large part of 2011, The Pretty Reckless broke free from the pack of emerging artists. Unfortunately, most of these upcoming artists channel their creativity through resurrecting the sounds established by bands that will forever be remembered as originators of a genre. While it is flattering for those predecessors, it will be difficult for the successors to be considered as independent talents. So, those in the pack of emerging artists take note of Cherri Bomb, whose beautifully naïve presence separates them from becoming wannabe artists. Yes, in the past Shockya compared Cherri Bomb to The Runaways, but their similarities mostly have to do with the age, gender and rebelliousness [ Read More ]...

New York – It was three hours since show time on Friday (April 13) and the crowd at the Irving Plaza had grown impatient. Even though the strikingly blue-lit venue had been appetized by the likes of opening acts The Parlor Mob, The Blackboard Nails and The Hollywood Kills, the jam-packed crowd were ready for The Pretty Reckless.
Irving's lights shaded black and each of the four-member act individually took to the stage for their latest "The Medicine Tour" show, but the obvious avalanche of applause was for Taylor Momsen, the 18-year-old actress-turned-rocker. In a matching black dress, jacket and knee-high spiked boots, the frontwoman took hold of the mic and began what would be a 12-song set that would further erase any remnants of her former good girl-turned-bad-turned-good character on "Gossip Girl," beginning with the band's first tune, "Hit Me Like A Man," the same title as their recently-released Ep.

The change of seasons calls for a genre switch on your iTunes playlist Aka your iPhone/iPod playlist Aka your Spotify playlist. Whichever form of technology you prefer to use is up to you, but as the months move from winter to summer, your playlists become inundated with the happiness brought on by the increase in temperature. For example, you would probably listen to Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” in the brooding winter months, but transition to the Beatles’ “Dear Prudence” in the sunny ones.

It's official: Taylor has gone from being a 'Gossip Girl' to a Gothic Girl. From young people doing explicit drugs to porn stars having sex in the back room, this new The Pretty Reckless video is absolutely outrageous. Is this really the same little Jenny Humphrey we know and love from Gossip Girl? It doesn't look like it. In this HollywoodLife-rated "R" music video, Taylor Momsen, 18, is surrounded by peers sniffing cocaine, getting tattoos, having sex, running around topless and binge drinking. Not to mention Taylor's look scarily resembles electric-alternative singer's Marilyn Manson. What's happened to little J on Gossip Girl who was always trying to make her way up the steps at the Met? It's nothing new that she's been of the rocker for awhile now, but this takes her craziness to a totally new level. Just watch the video, comment, and vote below. -- Maxine Studebaker...

I’m so glad we live in a world where women like Taylor Momsen can decide to retire from acting at the tender age of 18 (sarcasm), as if they know for sure what they want to do for the rest of their lives. Don’t get me wrong, right now she may very well not ever want to act again, but we’ve seen this kind of thing before. Remember Amanda Bynes? She came crawling back to acting in the end.
The fuel behind Momsen’s retirement appears to be her band The Pretty Reckless. In an interview with Elle, Momsen said, “I quit acting, actually. I quit Gossip Girl and now tour and am in a band and 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 a bad idea. In...

Momsen: 'I've Quit Acting'

Former Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has "quit acting" for good to focus on her music career.
The 18 year old took an extended hiatus from the hit TV series last year to tour with her rock band The Pretty Reckless, but she was expected to return as a guest star on future episodes.
However, Momsen has ruled out rejoining the cast of Gossip Girl, insisting she's turned her back on Hollywood for good.
She tells Elle.com, "I quit acting, actually. I quit Gossip Girl and now tour and am in a band (sic). That's pretty much all I want to do. Hopefully, I'll be able to only do that for the rest of my life."
And Momsen will get to live out her dreams for some time as she and her bandmates prepare to tour with Evanescence.
She says, "We're on tour forever! We're actually starting a tour with Evanescence in the fall in the U.S., it goes all around the U.S. and then around Europe... so that's really exciting. That's for the next couple of months, so we're pretty much on the road until at least 2012. And then it will continue!"...

Taylor Momsen just threw another controversial stage-act at a concert. While performing with her band The Pretty Reckless at Razzmatazz club in Barcelona, the actress who plays Jenny Humphrey on "Gossip Girl" series gave a raunchy lap dance to a young female fan who stripped down to her bras.
Before delivering the racy performance on Wednesday night, July 6 , the 17-year-old songstress invited a group of female fans to the stage and told them to take off their top. She then danced wildly with the mob while singing. At one point, she even allowed one of the fans to grope her breasts.

Taylor previously insisted she didn't intentionally dress up to be provocative.
