I’m sorry to have to be the one to bring you this news. But. You know your favorite actress, Taylor Momsen? From your favorite movies Spy Kids 2 and Spy School, which are unrelated? And your favorite TV show, Gossip Girl? And your favorite makeup product, black eyeliner? And your favorite clothing style, not a lot of clothing? And your favorite age, inappropriately young? Well it seems as though she’s left the business for good. From Elle:

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.

That sounds like a very serious resignation. It’s true that at least you’ll still be able to see her play in your favorite band, The Pretty Reckless, forever and ever, and maybe that will be enough, but what if you want to watch a movie or a TV show? Is there another actress who can fill her very, very tall high-heeled acting boots with lots of strappies and her lots of black eyeliner? The black eyeliner mostly? Let’s see.

Kristen Stewart?

Leighton Meester?

Emma Roberts?

Emma Watson?

Carey Mulligan?

Selena Gomez?

Natalie Portman?

Mila Kunis?

Birdie?

Hillary Duff?

Gillian Jacobs?

Alison Brie?

Charlize Theron?

Freida Pinto?

Zooey Deschanel?

Kirsten Dunst?

Nope! I guess it looks like she was the only one. She and Mila Kunis, maybe. We can try out Mila Kunis.

    • Wow – All I did was hit a Read more button, and I saw a bird grieving the death of its life partner.

      Now I’m an emotional wreck. I’m sure that wasn’t your intent, tomjoad, but :`-(

  1. I knew she was in a band (how do I know this? Why do I know this but have only a vague idea about the Fibonacci sequence?), but I didn’t know people actually went to see that band. I think we are all at fault here.

  2. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see

  3. Hopefully, once TayMom reaches the next level of artistic maturity she’ll realize her band is awful, and she’ll quit that too, and become a spoken word poet/real person/something equally awful.

  4. Remember when Chuck tried to rape Little J and then everyone just sort of forgot about it? What a great show!

  5. “Excuse me, I’d like to throw my hat in the ring.”

    “My hat is Fess Parker’s scalp, LOL.”

  6. “And your favorite clothing style, not a lot of clothing?”

    That is actually my favorite clothing style.

  7. It’s a good thing she quit when she did. If we extrapolate a little, her eyeliner situation was a few years away from going out of control.

  8. Kelly, this isn’t really related, but it has to do with clothes I guess. Is your avatar a preview image from Skreened?

  9. Kelly, I love that you are keeping us informed on all the important Gossip Girl news, but the real question is – Will You Be Writing Gossip Girl Recaps?

  10. I wonder how Gossip Girl will kill her off. She’s riding in a car that gets hit by Charlie Sheen’s character on that 2.5 Men show and they both die maybe?

  11. The only appropriate reaction:

  12. And then a deep sadness fell over all the Whos in Whoville.

  13. Damn, Kelly. Between this and the Buckley post, you’re really giving the old scrollbar a good workout today.

  14. I can’t breathe…

  15. I was going to nominate LC as she wore a lot of eye makeup on the Hills or maybe Laguna Beach but then my computer freaked out about some virus or trojan horse or possibly both. Beware of vintage photos of LC, you guys.

  16. you drew on so many “love of my life”s
