Taylor Momsen gets helping hand
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

Singer-and-actress Taylor Momsen had to be helped across the grass before performing an acoustic set at Virgin Media’s Louder Lounger as she struggled to walk in her high heels.

The 17-year-old singer-and-actress was struggling to walk in her huge high heels in the exclusive area of the V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex, so enlisted the help of two male friends to give her some support as she tried to negotiate the uneven surface.

“At first we thought she wasn’t very well as she had both her arms draped across her friends and was struggling to walk. But as soon she got into the tent with its wooden floor, she was able to walk on her own. It was quite funny to watch,” an onlooker said.

As well as Gossip Girl star Momsen, other guests in Virgin Media’s Louder Lounge included Drew Barrymore and on/off boyfriend Justin Long, who enjoyed a game of table tennis with one of his friends, actress Billie Piper, TV presenter Holly Willoughby and Coleen Rooney, wife of England football star Wayne Rooney.

Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson also made an appearance as part of his 60th birthday celebrations.

Taylor Momsen talks about her stripper shoes
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

Taylor Momsen has been dishing to a magazine about her fashion choices and stuff.

Asked where she shops, we’re sure no one will be surprised to learn that the answer was ‘striper stores’.

Taylor said, “Stripper stores mainly. Especially for shoes. I bought them [the clear stripper heels with tip cup] because they were tall.”

She added, (as if we wouldn’t believe her) “Seriously. I like to wear platform heels onstage and they’re actually hard to find. But fans started putting money in them, so now they are filled with tons of bills. It’s pretty amazing.”

Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen performing on Letterman
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

It looks like Taylor Momsen is really breaking into the big time with her music career and her band The Pretty Reckless.

The 17-year old star stopped by The Late Show with David Lettermen to perform her single “Make Me Wanna Die” with her band.

Momsen decided to wear skimpy black lingerie for the show and seemed to be lacking energy in her performance. I’m sure that is simply due to the fact that she’s been going pretty much non-stop over the summer.

Check out the video if you’re interested.

Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr’s reps slam no-show reports
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

epresentatives for on/off couple Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr have slammed claims the pair failed to show up to a promotional event, insisting the actors never knew they were scheduled to attend.

The “Gossip Girl” lovers were staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago over the weekend, where they were reportedly lined up for a public appearance.

Organizers claim they paid for Westwick and Szohr’s flights and VIP tickets to the Lollapalooza festival on the condition they appear at the Hard Rock event, but they reportedly stayed in their rooms and racked up an $800 bill instead.

A source tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, “Jessica was invited and took Ed as her plus-one. They were flown first-class and given two rooms, and her talent wrangler, Aaron, agreed they would appear at night or at one of the day lounges. But they never showed up, and instead they hit the mini bar and ordered room service. The bill for food and booze for three nights was over $830.

“Publicists were calling their room and banging on their door. Eventually this blew up into a big argument on Sunday. … They left that night, and Jessica paid for everything.”

But reps for both stars have slammed the allegations, insisting the pair would have turned up to the event if they had known they were expected.

A spokesperson for Szohr says, “If Jessica had known, she would have gone. She was never told until Sunday, and as a result she agreed to pay for everything herself and left. There was no fight.”

Westwick’s rep adds, “Ed went as Jessica’s plus-one and had no idea about any agreement or photographs he had to take. He always honors any agreements.”

Kelly Brook and Jessica Szohr Held at Gunpoint During Road Trip to Vegas
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

“Piranha 3-D” stars Kelly Brook and Jessica Szohr were given a shock during a road trip to Las Vegas when they were accosted by three police cars full of armed officers.

The pair took a break from filming the fishy new horror movie to drive to Sin City for a fun-filled getaway, but British model/actress Brook got lost near the Hoover Dam in Ohio.

She realized there were three police cars following behind their vehicle, so she pulled over and asked the cops for directions – but she soon realized she had made a mistake when the officers jumped out of their cars and surrounded the pair with their guns drawn.

Brook tells the New York Daily News, “There (were) three police cars following us… In England, the natural reaction is to get out of the car and ask for directions, which is what I did… Next thing you know, we have got our hands on the bonnet (hood) of the car and we’re trying to assure (the police) we’re just actresses on our way to Vegas.”

But the drama was soon over when the cops realized their mistake and the officers left with autographs from the pretty stars. Brook adds, “To have a gun pulled on you and then be asked for your autograph in the space of a minute is just a bizarre turn of events.”

Jessica Szohr wishes for new ‘Gossip Girl’ story lines
Posted by Vanessa • 1 Comment »

Even the people in soap opera-y shows get sick of the soap opera-y plots. “I keep saying they have to bring in other characters because how many times can six characters date and hook up with each other before it gets real old?,” asks Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr in the latest issue of Nylon magazine.

She also says she’s not into her character Vanessa’s wardrobe and in real life would much rather wear what’s in Jenny’s (Taylor Momsen) closet. “I personally think Jenny has the best wardrobe on the show – it’s kind of grungy, but girly, without being too put together. Blair (Leighton Meester) is too structured and perfect, Serena (Blake Lively) is always glammed up. Vanessa’s waaaay too much with every color and pattern.”

Not that she’s complaining or anything. “It sounds like I’m being negative about them all, but I’m not – I think they all look great.”

Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively compete for Alfonso Cuaron’s next project: ‘Gravity’
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

Call it the battle of the blondes: Sources confirm a report in The Hollywood Reporter today that Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively are the frontrunners to star in Alfonso Cuaron’s next project Gravity opposite Robert Downey Jr. Both women have tested for the role of an astronaut lost in space, fighting her way back to Earth. Neither Johansson nor Lively have yet to receive an offer, however.

Sources say that Lively auditioned for the role over a month ago along with 11 other women. Johansson only read for the part last week.

While Johannson is a bigger star internationally, Warner Bros. has long been a fan of cultivating young talent that it had a hand in discovering, which definitely describes Lively. She co-stars in the studio’s upcoming flick The Town as well as Green Lantern, in which she plays Ryan Reynolds’ love interest. Warner Bros. TV is also responsible for Gossip Girl, which co-stars Lively, on the CW.

It’s not lost on anyone that Reynolds is Johansson’s husband. Depending on the outcome of the Cuaron project, the Green Lantern premiere could be one awkward affair. Warner Bros. declined to comment.

Blake Lively admires the acting careers of men
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

HollywoodNews.com: As Blake Lively’s career continues to grow, she’s finding that it is the careers of her male counterparts that she wants to model her own life after.

The ‘Gossip Girl’ actress has found that when she’s asked about whose career she admires, she often answers with naming men, reports Digital Spy. But it isn’t that Lively finds there aren’t women to look up to in this business, “but [she] feel[s] like men are still given much better opportunities.”

However, she isn’t too worried about finding someone to model her career after: “[T]here are so many people I admire for so many reasons that I can’t look at one person’s life and say, ‘I want that life’. I want to make my own history.”

With big roles in Green Lantern and The Town, it sounds like Lively is going to have a huge career ahead of her.

‘Gossip Girl’ star Blake Lively headed for food coma after serious seafood grub crawl in New York
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

Back in the February issue of Esquire magazine, the “Gossip Girl” actress professed her love of cooking while baking a pie for her interviewer. But recent reconnaissance indicates that, these days, Lively is much more interested in having others do the cooking for her.

Insiders tell us that Lively, who next month will be seen in Ben Affleck’s buzz-generating drama “The Town,” fueled the city’s restaurant economy this month by going on a serious grub crawl that saw her dining at a dozen establishments in 13 days.

And if she ever breaks up with her co-star Penn Badgley, prospective suitors should take note of her gustatory travels. Based on her dining habits, Lively is a seafood-loving locavore who gravitates toward French methods of preparation.

Our sources tell us that the actress’ culinary odyssey began in the key of seafood on Aug. 5 when she ate at power sushi restaurant Nobu in Tribeca and the more rustic Mary’s Fish Camp in the West Village. Then, on Saturday, Aug. 7, she returned to the latter neighborhood to dine at Paris Commune, which is known for its brunch, and Blue Hill, which is revered for its fetishistic embrace of local, seasonal food.

On Aug. 10, Lively did a high-low, East-West thing that would work well as a “Gossip Girl” narrative device. She checked out the atmosphere-free Chirping Chicken, a favorite of upper West Siders who want good chicken and ribs without any pretense. That same day, she also headed crosstown to Madison Ave. art dealer hangout Sant Ambroeus, which is mostly about pretense – and good gelato.

Aug. 11, she visited only Rosa Mexicano on the upper West Side, but resumed her two-a-day eatery habit on the 12th, when she dined at the Moroccan influenced hipster hangout Café Gitane at the Jane Hotel, and the classic French Le Grainne Café on Ninth Ave. in Chelsea.

Perhaps her culinary excursions began to take a toll on the leggy Lively’s waistline, because by midmonth, she began to pace herself. On Aug. 13, she ate at Laurent Tourondel’s seafood-themed restaurant BLT Fish on W. 17th St. Aug. 15, she supped at Cookshop, another establishment that prides itself on its seasonal, local menu. And as best we can tell, her culinary quest ended on Aug. 18 at Café Joul, a French neighborhood bistro on First Ave. in midtown east.

Asked to comment on Lively’s culinary jaunt, her spokeswoman says only, “She’s a fan of trying new cuisine.”

Well, then, if Lively’s explorations haven’t taken her to Le Bernardin, may we suggest a trip to the midtown west seafood temple, where the food is excellent and executive chef Eric Ripert is positively dreamy.

Blake Lively And Ben Affleck Get A Bit Flirtatious For Interview Magazine
Posted by Vanessa • Comments Off

We’ve been huge fans of the celebrity interview in Interview magazine in the past. They brought us gems like Ashley Greene being interviewed by Michael Sheen, and Megan Fox being interviewed by Zach Galifianakis (be still my heart), but this month’s big interview just had us cringing just a little.

The celebrity subject was none other than Blake Lively, who is shaping up to have a big 2010 and 2011 between the fourth season of “Gossip Girl,” “The Town” and “Green Lantern.” However, we would have much preferred her being interviewed by Ryan Reynolds, or maybe even her boyfriend Penn Badgley. Anyone instead of Ben Affleck as the conversation didn’t flow quite as well as we’d hoped it would.

So let’s pick out some awkward, flirtatious gems from this Interview, shall we? At the time of the interview, Blake was in Paris for couture fashion week, and she was telling Ben about her first experience in Paris with her brother. Instead of just flat out asking Blake which brother it was, he asked, “Is this the same brother I met?” Thanks for adding that personal touch in there for us, Ben. Blake’s response was, “Mm-hmm… Eric.”
