My, how far Taylor Momsen has come since her bright-eyed innocent days as a child actress. Little J departed "Gossip Girl" to sing with her band, The Pretty Reckless, full-time, and it appears her hard work is paying off.

The band has landed a new gig opening for Marilyn Manson on the North American leg of the rocker's latest tour.

Momsen tweeted the news last week, writing, "The Pretty Reckless will be opening for @marilynmanson in the USA on his spring tour!! So excited!"

The band has also had high-profile opening slots for Guns N' Roses and Evanescence. The Pretty Reckless' first Manson date will be April 27 in Providence, Rhode Island.

Momsen was recently spotted at Marchesa's Fall 2012 Fashion Week show in New York City wearing lace and looking decidedly less grungy than usual, but we're sure the raccoon eye makeup will return before the Manson tour.
