Taylor Momsen, you give 17 year old girls a really bad name. You are not a "star", nor will you ever understand the value of an education, because you are spoiled rotten. You have an ashtray potty mouth and have no talent. You are just another washed up CHILD STAR. Can you say LINDSAY LOHAN?!? I hope your mother gave you a good smack for all these trashy comments! There is a difference between speaking your mind and being vicious! Learn the boundary, fro your own sake please!
She really looks like the toughest kid in the mall!
Taylor, you have a long way to go: do not make the mistake of mixing up teenage angst (what you are feeling when you're 17) and angst. When it comes to angst, my point of reference, my standard would be GG Allin (any of you young guns ever heard of him?). While I can understand it is unbecoming of a lady of your caliber to s**t on stage and roll in your own feces while punching yourself in the face, there is always a price to pay for angst: your sanity, your life, or both. Being provocative is a by-product of that, not the other way around. It has nothing to do with being born rich or poor, white or black, or having had a tough childhood or not, it's like autism: a non-standard approach to processing your life and expressing yourself. You can become that but there is a sacrifice: try for example to spend a week in the woods with nothing else but the clothes on your back. Be scared, be hungry, be cold, stop the stimuli from other people and withdraw in your own head, look at your Shadow, your Personna and your Animus and let them rip your Self apart. Good luck, you're going to need it!
She is 17 years old. Most young teens are ignorant and childish. On top of that she is trying to promote this Im such a bad A$$ image that cant be bothered by things such as raising money for a good cause. People change. In ten years from now, she will hopefully have a different outlook in life. One that doesnt shout out " Im the spawn of satan!". Besides, people shouldnt look up to celebrities. Then we would be shaving our heads, carrying small dogs every where, and having dog fight nights. Young girls and boys should choose someone else to admire like teachers, parents, fire fighters, humanitarians, ect.
My niece is a spoiled brat. She is 14, does dance5 days a week, takes ap classes, and wants to be a model. She is not, however, self absorbed. Her role model... Her friends, her mom, and her grandmother. Her parents wrier divorcee by the time she was three or four. And, she is respectful. My son is nine, he is a Cub Scout, a Decided 5th Gup in Tang Soo Do, and is now joining Lego Robotics...he has his own kayak, and his own fish tank. My daughter, who is five, also has her own fish tank. She started kindergarten and now does gymnastics twice a week. This was what they wanted to do. I just makes sure they get there housework and homework done. They aren't spoiled, they have their responsibilities and they do them.
Aaah a typical teen who thinks they know everything! Love it. Its going to be even funnier when she turns out to be another washed up celebrity. So she's what 16 can't wait to see how old she looks by the time shes 21.
What exactly is wrong with what she said? I’m not familiar with her but her statement shouldn’t bother anyone. As a parent, I’m responsible for my child. If she has a role model, it should be me, or her teacher, or grandmother… not a 17 year old “entertainer”. Most of the comments here are far more disappointing than anything this girl said.
Huhum "And who are we to be telling anybody how to live their lives?" And really parents the first role model for your kids should be, hum i don't know, YOU.
So Taylor Momsen says she doesn't want to be a role model then she also says that she wants to be Kurt Cobain. I'm sure his goal was not to be a role model either but he was obviously a role model to her, whether he intended to or not. Who knows... he may have been thinking the same snarky comments about little kids like her during his final days. The point is, when you choose an occupation in the public eye (entertainer, athlete, politician, etc) you have to expect to be looked at and judged by everyone from the pre-tweener down at the mall to my grandpa. You can't just pick up your fat paycheck, say whatever you please and expect there to be no consequences. There are no free rides in life, sweetheart.
Taylor Momsen is right 🙂 It's all parents fault because all they think is about MONEY! This is why parents have gone too far and forced their children get into "role model" and "pageant" crap! Parents have no right to tell their children to what to do! Every children and teens have their own right to choose what they want to be when they grow up! DUHHHHHHHH! So, parents have FAIL!!!!!
Parents can't monitor every little thing their kids absorb from the pop-culture toilet anymore, the Internet has seen to that. So lil' Taylor will say "Hey, I smoke. No big deal. I'm not a role model." But she is a role model whether she likes it or not. 100 kids just read that and said "Cool. I'll smoke too, and I also don't have to worry about being a role model."
Poor, poor Taylor. She tries to put up a tough front, but I can guarantee underneath it all she is just as insecure as every other teen. Someone needs to intervene... she is a disaster!
She opens her mouth and the vulgar and stupid just fall right out. She's 17, that's what 17 year old girls do. When she's 30 and nobody remembers who she is or what she did, maybe she'll have the maturity think before she speaks.
Why does this 17 year old nothing think she knows everything about the world? She is a self-absorbed no-talent who is on a waste of a program and thinks that she is the be-all and end-all of anything that should happen to spew from the rotten little mouth of hers. She knows jack-squat and I don't know why she gets any attention whatsoever. Go away, Gossip Girl!
I love that a 17 year old girl knows what 'pop' and 'rock' is. Sweetie... you don't know what true music is because all the music you have heard your entire life is junk. Someone please shut her up, she is clearly trying to hard to please someone who has never been happy with her.
What a nasty foul mouthed little girl and I do mean nasty. You need to grow up and learn to be diplomatic and speak without using curse words. Unfortunately you have a certain proportion of the public who admire you for whatever reason so try and live up to being a role model, which you apparently do not want to be, but with fame comes a certain amount of responsibllity to those young teens. And yes, I am a mother.
I can't hate on her because I remember being an angsty teenager too, saying and doing dumb things... but jesus, have you ever seen her mother? clearly the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Wow... what a wingnut. "I didn't get into this to be a role model." Well, little girl, guess what... becoming an entertainer, in whatever capacity, is going to involve being a role model, whether you like it or not. I understand she's only 17, so she doesn't really have the maturity to know how to handle it all, but she better learn fast before she alienates her present and future fan base. I only have one question... who the hell is she? Never heard of her...
Wait now; who said that entertainers (or athletes or the like) should be, can be or are role models? While there are some exceptions, there is NO reason any parent should allow their child(ren) to believe entertainers, etc are role models. Role models should be people we see and know in every day life; amazing parents, children that suffer and still maintain a zest for life, selfless people who can take care of themselves and still give to others, and so on. Certainly she is saying things that are shocking, but I'm not too certain she's that far off; even if she does come off as somewhat ungrateful.
JLD – I'm with you! The people that are complaining about her being a bad "role model" are the ones that use the television as a babysitter then they wonder why their kids turn out like this one!
Get a grip people!!! If you as a parent are letting your kids have a television star or reality star as a role model, maybe THE PARENTS are the ones with the problem. These TV kids are offered money and fame as a lure and they take it. They dont take it with the "higher purpose" of trying to show other kids how they should act or behave or what standards they should set for themselves in life. I thought that was the parents job?
Wow..... I gained new respect for Taylor after reading her comments. She says exactly what is on her mind, and the minds of many others probably, and isn't afraid to say it. Very refreshing.....
She is such a poser. Since when did fashion become synonymous with rock n' roll?
As far as I can recall, Rihanna released her first single when Momsen was playing Cindy Lou Hoo.
And what does she have to be angsty about? What, did Top Shop run out of her favorite pair of skinny jeans? Please.
People like this make me sick.... an artist – yeah right...
Another miraculous example of how midwest white trash jail bait
somehow got the media's attention by being cast in a poorly written teenbeat drama
While she is right that she isn't a role model, she is still acting like a complete moron. She's starting to sound like Megan Fox. She really seems like she's trying too hard to be a "bad-ass rocker chick" but she's coming off as a poser.
Trying sooooooo hard to be a bad@ss....... just looking like an immature kid with no manners and no parents worth a damn. I agree.....a budding Courtney Love.... the sooner shes had her 15 minutes the better.
You know, she's right!!! She's free to be who she wants to be. She didn't start out as a role model for young girls, so she's being true to herself!!! What the consumers are buying today will determine if she's successful in her career, so I say GO FOR IT!!!
Yes absolutely right. Indeed, the consumers should determine if this girl will succeed or not. So if you don't like her, don't buy her stuff. Instead of just going on and ranting a lot about her.
I agree! Why do old people care so much what teenagers do? And if their kids try to smoke or wear tight clothes because she does, they have some dumb kids. I'm 15 and I like Taylor Momsen, but I'm trying to be Taylor Momsen.
how long is cnn going to keep this page ? move on already
Who this? Never heard of her. Should be pumping gas or on the corner.
I just love that she was Cindy Lou Who in The Grinch and now she's turned out like this.
Taylor Momsen, you give 17 year old girls a really bad name. You are not a "star", nor will you ever understand the value of an education, because you are spoiled rotten.

i have no idea who this girl is...shows you how famous she is.
a mini courtney love how wonderful it must be to be trashy
She really looks like the toughest kid in the mall!

i think she's honest and i love her.
I'm not doubting her honesty, just her lack of perspective.
She is 17 years old. Most young teens are ignorant and childish. On top of that she is trying to promote this Im such a bad A$$ image that cant be bothered by things such as raising money for a good cause. People change.

Kurt died for your sins, silly irrelevant little girl.
This girl looks stupid, sounds stupid, acts stupid, dresses stupid. Even the name is stupid. Next!

she is trying to be rebellious..trying* Darling go do some revolutionary work before mouthing off 'I'm a f** Rebel' She is humorous
HER MOTHER MUST BE SO PROUD
Aaah a typical teen who thinks they know everything! Love it. Its going to be even funnier when she turns out to be another washed up celebrity. So she's what 16 can't wait to see how old she looks by the time shes 21.
Just goes to show she's a spoiled brat.

I think all of you should get a life, and stop worrying about what anyone has to say!! Very simple let us build a bridge and GET OVER IT JAJAJAJAJAJA

She's not Cindy Lou Whoo anymore...
She's a child. She's being packaged.
She opens her mouth and the vulgar and stupid just fall right out. She's 17, that's what 17 year old girls do. When she's 30 and nobody remembers who she is or what she did, maybe she'll have the maturity think before she speaks.
Who the hell is Taylor Momsen?
She is correct in each of her responses. I'd have to say she's smarter than the average busybody...
Why does this 17 year old nothing think she knows everything about the world? She is a self-absorbed no-talent who is on a waste of a program and thinks that she is the be-all and end-all of anything that should happen to spew from the rotten little mouth of hers.

No idea who this girl is but she's full of herself and needs her mouth washed out with soap. What a spoiled brat!
This poor girl is trying so hard to be edgy my heart bleeds for her.
I love that a 17 year old girl knows what 'pop' and 'rock' is. Sweetie... you don't know what true music is because all the music you have heard your entire life is junk. Someone please shut her up, she is clearly trying to hard to please someone who has never been happy with her.
Amen!
Who are you and i don't care what you do. You are just a spoiled rich girl for all I know.
,,gossip girls,the hills,,off screen theyre just a bunch of f'd up,self-absorbed little b****es
Brat.
Can you say 'narcissistic pre-Maddona'? LOL!!!! OH, what is her talent, BTW? She looks pretty used up for a young kid.
What a nasty foul mouthed little girl and I do mean nasty. You need to grow up and learn to be diplomatic and speak without using curse words. Unfortunately you have a certain proportion of the public who admire you for whatever reason so try and live up to being a role model, which you apparently do not want to be, but with fame comes a certain amount of responsibllity to those young teens.

Trash. We have another Courtney Love in the making. Is her 15 minutes up yet?
Thank god I've lived to know what music is about so I've been able to shut out the last 15 yrs.
Me too!!
I can't hate on her because I remember being an angsty teenager too, saying and doing dumb things... but jesus, have you ever seen her mother? clearly the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
she's trying way too hard to be "edgy" she's annoying
Wow... what a wingnut. "I didn't get into this to be a role model." Well, little girl, guess what... becoming an entertainer, in whatever capacity, is going to involve being a role model, whether you like it or not.

She is just trying to ride the coat tails of lady gaga. It takes more than an adams apple little girl.
Lady Gaga knows when to shut up however. Apparently Taylor missed that lesson
Get a grip people!!! If you as a parent are letting your kids have a television star or reality star as a role model, maybe THE PARENTS are the ones with the problem. These TV kids are offered money and fame as a lure and they take it. They dont take it with the "higher purpose" of trying to show other kids how they should act or behave or what standards they should set for themselves in life. I thought that was the parents job?
She looks about 50 years old in half on those pictures. Here's to nice clean living! Good for you.
who is this person? a blanket of opinions that she will probably regret soon.
Wow..... I gained new respect for Taylor after reading her comments. She says exactly what is on her mind, and the minds of many others probably, and isn't afraid to say it. Very refreshing.....
You got to respect honesty. She reflects the sentiment of many but too few are bold enough to say it. Go girl...and do your thing.
...so do people with Tourette's and I don't see anyone having any special admiration for them...
"I don't wanna be Courtney Love. I wanna be Kurt Cobain."
Well, in that case, there's only one thing left for you to do... please.
I actually thought that was the only intelligent thing she said! lol
i love your comment! 🙂
She is such a poser. Since when did fashion become synonymous with rock n' roll?
As far as I can recall, Rihanna released her first single when Momsen was playing Cindy Lou Hoo.
And what does she have to be angsty about? What, did Top Shop run out of her favorite pair of skinny jeans? Please.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Nice one
I was not aware that you had to be a "Rock Star" to wear a leather jacket!
People like this make me sick.... an artist – yeah right...
Another miraculous example of how midwest white trash jail bait
somehow got the media's attention by being cast in a poorly written teenbeat drama
well put...
While she is right that she isn't a role model, she is still acting like a complete moron. She's starting to sound like Megan Fox. She really seems like she's trying too hard to be a "bad-ass rocker chick" but she's coming off as a poser.
Love it. Glad to see someone not politically correct and says what they think or feel. Good for her.
she has diarrhea of the mouth
Trying sooooooo hard to be a bad@ss....... just looking like an immature kid with no manners and no parents worth a damn. I agree.....a budding Courtney Love.... the sooner shes had her 15 minutes the better.
Oh come on....what a (expletive) loser.
The next Courtney Love. Not in a good way....
May be wrong, but she seems like a try-hard.
Who?!?!?
Exactly.
I was thinking the same thing. Never heard of this broad.
she played cindy lou who in jim carrey's version of 'how the grinch stole christmas' like, ten or so years ago.
and now look at her.
She is an immature teen who does have the right to freedom of speech.....just a kid,who will one day be a parent
Yeah, nine months from now.
You know, she's right!!! She's free to be who she wants to be. She didn't start out as a role model for young girls, so she's being true to herself!!! What the consumers are buying today will determine if she's successful in her career, so I say GO FOR IT!!!
Yes absolutely right. Indeed, the consumers should determine if this girl will succeed or not. So if you don't like her, don't buy her stuff. Instead of just going on and ranting a lot about her.
Even her name sounds stupid. Next.
I agree! Why do old people care so much what teenagers do? And if their kids try to smoke or wear tight clothes because she does, they have some dumb kids. I'm 15 and I like Taylor Momsen, but I'm trying to be Taylor Momsen.
Ahhh... to be young and dumb again. I'd give.... nothing.
Ha!
I don't even know who she is. We'll see what she has to say when she's entering rehab next year.
