Taylor Momsen admits she's a workaholic

Taylor Momsen has admitted that she is a 'workaholic' and it's her love for music that keeps her going.

"I'm working 24 hours a day and that's probably the one thing people don't know about me, that I'm a workaholic and I can't stop. But I love what I do so it's always fun," she said.

The singer-and-actress, 17, of 'Pretty Reckless' fame admits she doesn't want to be a role model for young people in any way other than to inspire them to work hard and achieve their ambitions.

She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I don't want to consider myself to be a role model, that's too much pressure for anyone to take on. I didn't get into this industry to become a role model.

"I got into it very young and because I love music I still have that drive. I'm not happy if I'm not making music, it's a simple as that. It's a need. So if I inspire people who need to do what I do and want to have the same drive to work really hard then that's great but don't try to be me, be yourself. That's the only foundation in this industry because it's so critical and difficult," she added.

Taylor Momsen suspended from 'Gossip Girl'?

'Gossip Girl' star Taylor Momsen has reportedly been suspended from the hit show.
As per Deadline.com, the 17-year-old's off-screen antics prompted an 'indefinite hiatus' following next Monday''s episode of the New York-based soap.

Momsen already had her scenes cut to three episodes this fall and her character Jenny will be absent for at least four episodes beginning with the show''s midseason finale.

Representatives for the CW network and producer Warner Bros. declined to comment, but sources confirmed that the peroxide blonde was leaving for good.

Momsen, also a singer with rock band 'Pretty Reckless', attracted criticism from 'Project Runway's' Tim Gunn, who played mentor to Momsen's character in an episode last month.

Gunn told E! News, "What a diva. She was pathetic, she couldn''t remember her lines and she didn''t even have that many. I thought to myself, ''Why are we being held hostage by this brat'?" the New York post quoted Gunn as telling E! News.

Momsen, a star since the age of seven after appearing in 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas', has recently attracted attention for her verbal attacks on fellow stars including Miley Cyrus and Rihanna.

Notting Hill Rocker Chick

Taking her punk-infused rock across the pond, Taylor Momsen and her band the Pretty Reckless rocked out in London, England at night (May 12).

The “Gossip Girl” gal showed off her sexy form in a skimpy black ensemble as she sang through her angst-driven set list at the Notting Hill Arts Club.

In a recent interview, Taylor revealed that she enjoys playing with knives and even carries one in her purse at all times.

“I have a knife collection. My favorite’s my switchblade. I flew from New York to Los Angeles and still had a couple of knives in my purse. I thought I took them all out but they got tucked up in the folds. I went through security, took them on the plane, opened my bag to get my wallet in LA and they fell out. I was like: “Holy s***!’”
