Every time you think maybe Taylor Momsen isn’t the worst anymore, she does something to remind you that she’s definitely still the worst. (I know it’s not cool to call an actual child names, but it’s also not cool to lie to them. She will appreciate my honesty when she is older. [No she won't.])

  1. are you referring to the flashing, or to the song? i can’t tell.

  2. I have a feeling “viral” means something different on Billboard’s website

  3. She was just seventeen/ you know what I mean

  4. #1 you have to listen to a whole minute of this song to see censored ickiness?
    #2 Bing knows everything

  5. Where were you when you learned what a “Taylor Momsen” is? For me it was September 19th 2007, when a show called “Gossip Girl” premiered. It was from the guy who made The OC, a show I unironically enjoyed. Little did I know a raccoon faced garbage monster would be awoken. Simpler times…simpler times. September 19th 2007- NEVER FORGET!

  6. If a teenage actress flashes her boobies at a concert that nobody goes to, will I still eat a sandwich for lunch today?

    • I hope so. I hope you put real effort into it too, not just like two slices of meat and a slice of cheese, but some tomato, lettuce, mayo, sprouts? do you have sprouts?, maybe some pepper? I prefer green, but any color is good.

  7. Luckily, I’ve never not thought she was the worst. If she was my daughter, I would drive her into the middle of Canada and say “If you make it back to New York alive, you’ll be a more mature, thankful and thoughtful person, and then I’ll love you again. You are my fault, and this is the only way to fix you. Visit me in jail, or not!”

  8. Not sure if that black box was a censor bar or a training bra.

  9. I used to defend Taylor Momsen, because lord knows when I was 16 I was the queen of doing stupid shit. But come on! Taylor Momsen, trying to get Chis Hanson to arrest everyone that paid for a ticket to see your crappy music is not a good move, fiscally!

    Taylor Momsen, I hereby officially retract my previous defenses. But since you could probably buy and sell me without noticing, I suspect you won’t suffer much from this loss.

  10. In some ways, Gabe, you and I are very different people.

  11. The best part of Gossip Girl last night (and PS Gabe, I REALLY miss your recaps because this show is so LOLtastic) was definitely when they played scary music leading up to when they first showed Little J (dressed like a hooker as per usual.) So approps.

  12. like most monsters, i fancy myself as pretty “hip” and “with it” in terms of pop culture. but thanks to the Huffington Post, I have discovered an entire section of “celebrity” that I never knew existed.

    people SPLIT. or MARRIED or “guess the celeb kid” or are ARRESTED. and I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THESE FUCKING PEOPLE before. where do they come from? they don’t seem to be famous before any of these things happen to them, so why are they presented as news?

    what i’m getting at is i had never heard of this Taylor Momsen before like a month ago when she was presented as some “controversial” and “edgy” actress or singer doing stuff for attention without ever doing anything actually “controversial” or “edgy” beyond shopping at Hot Topic and wearing too much make-up or anything that takes much talent. I assume she just was just inorganically placed on news sites as being the Donny Wahlberg of the Gossip Girl cast by some publicist. ugh. my head is in a yogurt cup.

    • Yeah, Videogum and the Huffington Post combine to make me feel terribly old, because I have no idea of most contemporary pop culture news stuff, ‘specially music. This means that my entire understanding of such things comes through Videogum articles and Huffington Post headlines. This leads to conversations where someone mentions Justin Bieber, knowing a song of his or something or whatever, and my contribution being “he walks into glass doors, but his hair protects him.”

    • I really only know of Taylor Momsen because she is single-handedly turning me into my mother. Taylor! Wipe that muck off your face! Sit up straight! And back in my day, ladies didn’t flash an audience until they were married!!!

    • i hear you, guy.

    • Yeah, I was like, ‘that’s some interesting editorializing in that headline there’, and then I realized that Pretty Reckless is the name of the actual band. Feeling very get-off-my-lawn-y right now.

      Anyway, that music is interesting. Pretty much just bad metal? I mean, that could be a Lita Ford concert in like 1989. Except she was like 30 when she was acting like that.

      Kids these days!!

  13. Shoot, my bad. I thought Taylor Swift was the worst. Can there be two Worsts?

  14. wait, am i supposed to be *against* the flashing of boobs?

  15. “where the hell are your parents?” -dina lohan

  16. Man Taylor Momsen is so hip! Usually artists cover the XX, but this time the XX covered her.

  17. Many, many years ago, when I was a freshman in college, one of my room-mates decided that we all had to go see Rocky Horror on the big screen. I had seen it before, of course, but never in a room full of awkward screaming people! So, in a game spirit, I agreed to go.
    It was PRETTY ROUGH, emotionally, just being there. it got much, much worse during the virgin hazing, when a girl who was pretty clearly 16 flashed the audience, drawing a collective “WOOOoohhhhgod.”

  18. can we please get some gossip girl recaps? for god’s sake, dan was fathering a child in the first few episodes! and nate is so dumb! so much material to work with this season.

    • I second this request! I still watch GG all aloney on my owney because my life is sad and I don’t wanna talk about it, but the recaps would really help me feel better about everything! =(

  19. Where are Benson and Stabler to arrest Taylor in a convoluted story about her peddling her own child pornography WHEN YOU NEED THEM THE MOST?

  20. Barf. That is all.

  21. Oh good, now I know what punk rock is.

  22. This just makes me sad, probably because I feel a certain kinship with this poor girl.

    As a dumb teenage girl, I too thought I was pretty hardcore with my pot smoking and my drinking at lunch hour and my super cool “punk rock” outfits (mainly just ill-fitting stuff I’d bought at the Salvation Army). When I imagine myself at 17 being followed around by paparazzi, interviewed by magazines, and given record deals, it’s easy to understand how I would begin to labour under the false impression that I was actually interesting and that the stupid things I said and did really mattered.
