Happy Sweet 16th Birthday, Taylor Momsen!
Aww. Our Little J is all grown up. Sniff.
Actually, it's hard to believe how successful Taylor Momsen has become by the age of 16. Already an actress on Gossip Girl, a model and aspiring rocker, who knows what kind of amazing career this talented girl who plays Jenny Humphrey has ahead of her.
In any case, happy birthday, T! In honor of the Maryland native's special day, here are 16 photos of the rising star. Click to enlarge the Taylor Momsen pictures below ...

People don't dress in black because they have issues. Its a fashion and music choice usually! I think its great she's not one of those squeaky clean disney channel clones, who need a serious dose of real life and decent fashion sense!

how does that have anything to do with what you said before, you know regarding her apparently having issues?? because thats what you said - as almost a reason for why she dresses like this now. That was my main problem with what you said, and because alot of people have issues before they are even 16 - HELLO BLAIR AND HER BULIMIA at 16 n 17!!!!
I don't think you should be so aggressive towards her - a whore? really. thats just plain mean. There are plenty of 16 year olds that dress that way, the whole virginal sweet 16 thing no longer exists anymore! Get over it!

Dear "Queen Sophie"
well as far as i see it every time she wears that eyeliner around her eyes, ripped stockings, black leather and lace or her hair in some faux punk flip she reeks like a slutty little wannabe punk whore. AT 16. SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO FIGURING OUT THE BIRDS AND THE BEES WITH HER BARBIE AND KEN DOLLS AND GET OFF THE STAGE. SHE IS A CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear 'poppy and hazel fan',
Just because someone is interested in rock music and that whole scene doesn't mean they automatically have 'issues'. In fact i don't recall taylor ever saying she had. I know plenty of people who do have issues and dress like annoying little preppy's.
Don't judge a book by its cover, Just be cause someone dress's in black doesn't mean they're a 'teen angst wannabe suicide case'. Plus you don't know anything about her life, some people DO HAVE ISSUES AT 16. No matter how old you are you CAN. not saying taylor does. its irrelevant. The way you dress doesn't have to represent wha'ts going on inside!!!!
I am glad taylor isn't a faggy little preppy any more, she was so annoying in series one.

Taylor Momsen is a good actress but a bad punkstress. Really what are her issues??? SHES 16 with the world in her lap. How can you even pretend to have some sort of angst....
