Taylor Momsen quit 'Gossip Girl' and acting altogether
Exiting "Gossip Girl" star Taylor Momsen is making two things quite clear: It was her decision to leave the CW series, and she never wants to act again.
Speaking with Elle after a recent Pretty Reckless concert in Japan, the frontwoman dismissed a question about her future film and TV projects.
"I quit acting, actually," she says. "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."
The 18-year-old had previously lamented the lack of control she had while acting, something she doesn't seem to have much of in her band either.
"We've been writing and recording some new stuff," Momsen says of a possible sophomore album for Pretty Reckless. "So whether it's a new album or, I don't know exactly, we just write the songs and record them and everyone else decides what to do with them."

This chick's image is so forced it's not even funny. I'm a Dave Grohl fan. Always will be. Nothing fake about Dave Grohl. No sir. That's real rock music.
She actually has a great voice. The CD is one of the better ones I've purchased in many months. I do find her, as a person, extremely undesirable and completely ungenuine.
God Bless You Taylor on Your Music only career.
I do not blame how tough it is being an Actress and on a TV Series which I am blessed and thankful that you have relinquish.
ummm - who the "f" is Dave Grohl? Never heard of him or his "real rock music"...
Well "clueless and glad" Dave Grohl was part of a little band named Nirvana, and started another little band called Foo Fighters. Now I realize those bands don't rock as much Beiber does, but you should give them a listen.
David Groh was a recently deceased actor on the show Rhoda and played her husband. Taylor Momsen was on Gossip HO and is doing everyone a favor by quitting acting !!! Google Dave Grohl and you will see his impact on the American Music scene !!!
YAY!
Now if only this walking tool would give up on singing. Oh wait. She kinda already did, didn't she? I mean, she's not even trying.
@clueless and glad what world where you from?!!!
