The Pretty Reckless are gearing up to do some touring with Marilyn Manson and are enticing their fans with their latest video 'You'. This video seems like a departure for the group (honestly I'm not familiar with a lot of their music so maybe it's not at all) in that it's more of a torch song. 

Taylor Momsen co-wrote the song and despite being only 18, she writes and sings from a very mature perspective. A movie is playing on the screen behind her of a couple making love and the girl is made to look like Taylor although I don't know if that is her.

Of course she's in the video in her underwear but we're still kind of floored she wore a dress at New York Fashion Week.

Check out the video and let us know what you think.

Taylor Momsen has been placed on ‘hiatus’ from Gossip Girl amid reports that her behaviour is becoming increasingly volatile. She’s only been in three episodes so far this fall, but after next Monday’s episode she will begin an ‘indefinite hiatus‘:

Although reps for The CW and producer Warner Bros. declined to comment, sources confirm that Momsen’s Jenny will be MIA for at least four episodes beginning with the show’s midseason finale on Dec. 6.

It’s not just her questionable wardrobe, and stage antics (think flashing her can-cans) but she’s pissed off people including Tim Gunn of Project Runway who appeared on an episode last month:

“What a diva,” he told E! News. “She was pathetic, she couldn’t remember her lines, and she didn’t even have that many. I thought to myself, ‘Why are we being held hostage by this brat?’”

Someone on the inside of the show says her reduction in lines is also for ‘creative reasons’.

The Pretty Reckless have just premiered the video for their US single “Make Me Wanna Die.”  Check out Taylor Momsen and her band rocking the track in the Meiert Avis (U2, New Found Glory, Alanis Morissette) directed clip.

The track is featured on The Pretty Reckless‘ EP (out now) and full album coming soon on Interscope Records.

It’s not Cousin Itt (people her age will probably have no clue what I’m talking about), it’s Taylor Momsen! She and her band The Pretty Reckless are seen performing at The V Festival at Hydes Park in England. I still can’t get over she is only 17.

Taylor recently did a video of behind-the-scenes for Spin Magazine for her photo shoot and interview.  She talks about how she takes her “girly meets tough stuff” style to the next level on stage and how it relates to her music.

The Pretty Reckless‘ debut album Light Me Up is due out later this year in the US on Interscope Records.

Taylor Momsen performed yesterday with her band The Pretty Reckless at the Vans Warped Tour at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida where she donned her lingerie and Lucite stripper shoes complete with a little mad money in the platform.

Sixteen year old (I know, right?) Taylor recently sat down with MTV about her sense of fashion and how firing her stylists was freeing:

+ ON HER STYLE:
“I don’t really think that much about it. I kind of just dress in whatever makes me feel comfortable. I like a lot of leather, I like a lot of dresses. I guess it’s been known to be provocative. But it’s not for any other purpose than I dress for myself, and I do myself up kind of like a doll. I have a doll collection and I look at their outfits and kind of imitate them.

+ ON HER BEAUTY ROUTINE:
“I don’t use a specific brand. I use whatever black eyeshadow and black eyeliner and whatever I can find in my closet that isn’t empty — or my makeup case — that isn’t empty now, and I just charcoal it on. When I go into a store, I just go, ‘What’s the blackest eyeshadow and eyeliner you have?’ And whatever that is, I buy it at the time.”

+ ON FIRING HER STYLIST:
“My music reflects my style because my music reflects me and so does my music. I don’t think being in a band has allowed me to be more free, I think firing my stylist has allowed me to be more free. I now dress myself, and told everyone who was telling me to look a certain way and fit a certain mold for the niche that I was being put in, and I said f— that. … I was getting molded into this thing that wasn’t who I am, and fitting into the world that can make you popular or something. I was never the popular chick so I don’t even know what that means. … Just making that mental decision that I’m going to be myself and if people hate it they can hate it but at least I’m happy with how I’m walking down the street.”

+ ON DOING MORE FASHION CAMPAIGNS, LIKE MADONNA’S LINE, MATERIAL GIRL:
“I’ve now started to do more campaigns and things, and I enjoy it, I’m not against it. Where it will go, I have no idea. I’m playing rock shows all summer, so that’s what I’m doing now.”

Taylor turns 17 tomorrow.  Happy Birthday Taylor.
