Ryan Gosling Makes A Damn Fine Grease Monkey

Late last month we got our first look at actor Ryan Gosling on the SoCal set of his new film Drive and today we get to see a few more photos from the set. This batch of photos are extremely hot because they feature Ryan‘s muscly arms smeared with sticky car grease … I mean, [...]

Gossip Girl star, Pretty Reckless frontwoman and Material Girl spokesmodel Taylor Momsen is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of the Heavy Metal Music magazine Revolver. At only 17 years old, Taylor is clearly trying to make a statement by posing on the cover of Revolver as a pissed off gun-toting lingerie model:

Seems that even though she’s only 17 she’s already a veteran when it comes to courting controversy. Taylor Momsen often takes heat for her overtly sexy look and choice of clothing and her latest magazine cover will do nothing to quieten the critics. The Gossip Girl actress poses, holding a rifle and a hand gun, with her usual thick black eye make-up and with her over-bleached blonde hair cascading around her shoulders, clad in lace topped black stockings and suspenders and barely there lingerie. Topping off her entirely age-inappropriate ensemble the teenager teeters on some sky-high stripper style perspex and patent heels. Momsen glares at the camera with her regular contrived bored teenager sneer, with the rifle slung over her shoulder and handgun pointing to the floor. The star loves to play-up her ‘dangerous’ ‘edgy’ image, admitting during interviews to everything from owning a vibrator to carrying a knife – apparently she ‘relaxes by opening and closing a switchblade’. And she gives little thought to the parents worried that she could be a negative influence on impressionable teenage daughters. ‘To be honest, I don’t fucking care,’ she said in an interview earlier this year. ‘I didn’t get into this to be a role model. So I’m sorry if I’m influencing your kids in a way that you don’t like, but I can’t be responsible for their actions. I don’t care.’

Oh, Taylor … you are such a bad ass. Well, actually, not really. Acting out in this way, giving everyone a shitty attitude, trying to push the envelope stylistically and pretending not to care about anything is SO tired. First, it’s been done a million times before and been done better. Second, the I Don’t Care but Look At Me anyway attitude has been under the ownership of hipsters for years now … it’s neither interesting or controversial to me. The more I see from Taylor Momsen, the more her immaturity shows thru. She absolutely comes across like a spoiled brat with too much freedom desperately trying to get attention by pretending not to want it but screaming inside LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I mean, she’s young. Hopefully she’ll grow out of this phase and mature a bit but I think she’ll be trying to pull this silliness for a while yet. Am I shocked by the guns and lingerie? Not at all. She merely looks silly to me. What do y’all think? Is Taylor Momsen pushing the envelope here?
