Taylor Momsen Blames Parents For Bad Attitude

Taylor Momsen's not your typical 17-year-old.

The Gossip Girl star and Pretty Reckless singer has raised plenty of eyebrows with her foul-mouthed rants against Hollywood, super-skimpy Gothic wardrobe and other angry, age-inappropriate antics. (She's been snapped smoking cigarettes and recently flashed her breasts to a concert crowd.)

What's her problem?

"Everyone's like, 'Wow, why is she upset, and why is she so miserable about things?'" the blonde, kohl-eyed actress tells the November-December issue of Revolver mag. (On the cover, the lingerie-clad teen brandishes two guns.)

Explains Momsen: "My parents signed me up with Ford [Modeling] at the age of 2. No 2-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice."

Momsen was 7 when she broke out as a kid star, playing Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

"My whole life, I was in and out of school," Momsen continues. "I didn't have friends. I was working constantly and I didn't have a real life."

Stephanie Pratt: Grinch Girl

Trying to rebuild her image following her DUI charge, Stephanie Pratt was spotted reading to some children at Universal Studios in Hollywood on Monday evening (December 28).

The “Hills” hottie looked excited as she enthusiastically read “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” as the paparazzi looked on.

Earlier in the day Stephanie was a busy bee, running errands and paying a visit to her family to pick up a few items.

She tweeted, “Just picked up my dog + mail from parents’ house and my new checks came- they benefit the humane society!! So excited!”
