Taylor Momsen- Our New Style Crush


You may have noticed that I have a bit of a thing for Gossip Girl, in fact it’s bordering on obsession at times, but since it’s part of my fabulous job to report on all the fashion for the show, I think my obsession is totally justified.

Anyways, in my quest to report all the latest fashion gossip from the show, It’s been hard not to take notice of 15-year-old Taylor Momsen, who has been rocking the punk look now since late last year.

Considering we’re waaay behind here in the UK, Taylor’s new look only got its debut last week on the show, but she herself has been sporting her grown up ‘bangs’ for ages and has become a total style hottie in the U.S.

We noticed her new look when she was out and about of course, but it was seeing her on screen as Jenny that really made us sit up and take notice, particularly in last night’s episode, There Might Be Blood.

While I really hated her racoon made-up eyes, I’m loving the new Jenny’s wardrobe. Punky, quirky and rebellious- all the things that Jenny will become over the next few episodes (trust me, I have insider knowledge!)

Taylor’s style off-screen has continued to amaze me too, as she looks so much older than her 15 years, which can at times be a tad disturbing, but most of the time it just makes me wish I’d had a stylist at that age. I could of avoided the chavvy tracksuits, pulled back hair and orange face for starters…

Anyway, we earmarked Taylor as a one to watch from the very beginning when she was all sweetness and light on the show, and now she’s growing up, she may well eclipse Leighton (Blair) and Blake (Serena) as the new Style Queen of the Upper East Side.

Good lord, that Victoria Beckham likes to take her clothes off a lot doesn’t she?! Her latest underwear ad for Armani sees her leaning back over a bed in just a bra, thong and high-heels. We’re more distracted by her spaced out look personally, as opposed to the raunchiness of her pose!

I Heart Edward Cullen. No honestly, I do. Who cares if he’s a fictional character from a film?! The point is, many ladies are lusting after this man at the moment, and to further prove my point about his popularity, T-shirts have been created baring that very phrase- and sold out. Now if only they could make clothes saying ‘I Heart Robert Pattinson’…

If there’s one person you don’t want to snub it’s got to be Barack Obama but Simon Cowell did just that, rejecting a dinner invitation from the new President. Simon told Jay Leno he was too busy to meet up with Obama to which a shocked Jay replied, “And what were you doing – whitening your teeth? Fixing your hair?”

Can Michael Jackson’s new tour get any crazier? Well it seems not as the singer plans to ride an elephant on stage and lead some panthers on gold chains. Does Michael realise we are in the real world and not Never Never Land. Wonder what the RSPCA will have to say about this!

Jade Goody hasn’t even been buried and already there is a film about the life of the reality star in the pipeline. I mean for crying out loud isn’t it time everyone just left her and her family alone? It’s not five minutes since everyone was calling her a racist how two-faced!

It seems the UK has gone dog movie mad as Marley and Me, which stars Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, remains at the top of the UK box office.
