Taylor Momsen is well-known on two fronts:  she’s a hit on the CW”s Gossip Girl, and gaining exposure for her band, The Pretty Reckless.   However, she’s not necessarily as fond of fame as you might think.  She said:

“I’m not Paris Hilton. I don’t really care about being a celebrity. It comes along with the territory so you can’t totally avoid it. But there’s a difference between doing the red carpet and having people invade my personal life taking pictures of me. And that’s why celebrity is so stupid. You don’t want to become something that a few million people watching your show want you to be. I want to be who I am because, if I lose that, then what am I doing this for? It’s not about fitting in. If you don’t fit in as yourself, then you don’t fit in.”

Taylor sounds oh-so-16-years-old, but she’s got a point.  Hopefully she continues to keep her head on straight.
