Taylor Momsen Is Still in the Running

The executive producer of Gossip Girl, Josh Schwartz, has nixed rumors that the show's 14-year-old star Taylor Momsen will star in a spinoff based on her character, Jenny Humphrey.

But young Taylor will not be wanting for work; she's just signed a contract with the powerhouse IMG modeling agency.

Momsen gushed to Access Hollywood that she loves the role fashion plays on the show: "It's so much fun to get to wear these designers."

But is she prepared to pose nude, under water, with a giant boa constrictor wrapped around her neck? Because America's Next Top Model has taught the world that modeling is a business fraught with danger.

And with Tyra Banks, whose middle name, coincidentally, is Danger.

Quotables /
“Blake Lively gets tempted a little by a shirtless hunky lifeguard on the set of teenage angst drama Gossip Girl, currently shooting at Tilden Beach, NY on Thursday.

Looks like Serena’s going to have a little summer fun in the Hamptons with a new boy toy!

FYI: Blake’s costar Taylor Momsen recently signed with IMG Models.”

“Ed Westwick continues rocking his summer style with a white suit on the set of Gossip Girl in New York on Monday.

Co-stars Blake Lively and Taylor Momsen were also around shooting their own scenes. Either puppies are going to be a theme in the show, or it’s Bring You Pet to Work Day for the GG cast! Blake, 20, and Taylor, 14, were both seen carrying around precious pooches.”

“Producers of "Gossip Girl" are planning a spinoff series set at a girls boarding school by either giving costar Taylor Momsen aka Jenny Humphrey her own series or by introducing a new character in the fall who is then spun off and given a new series.

Taylor, 14, plays a character who is a self-esteem challenged outsider and struggles to fit in. Any spinoff would likely draw on Taylor’s character Jenny Humphrey in the Gossip Girl book series for inspiration, according to the Hollywood Reporter. In the books, a series of public embarrassments (such as appearing in a teen magazine wearing next to nothing) results in Humphrey having to either repeat ninth grade or find a new school.

It is not yet clear whether the spinoff would be picked up for the fall season considering the CW already has "Gossip Girl" and "90210" in production, as well as "One Tree Hill."

In 2000, Taylor, starred in her breakthrough performance in Ron Howard’s "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," as Cindy Lou Who opposite Jim Carrey.”

“Taylor Momsen brings some youth in Marchesa to the 2008 FiFi Awards at the Park Avenue Armory on Tuesday in New York City.

The Fragrance Foundation sponsors the annual FiFi Awards, which honors the fragrance industry’s creative achievements and are considered the ‘Oscars’ of the fragrance industry.

Vera Wang was honored with the Hall of Fame Award.”
