Spotted: Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen donning a leopard coat and talking about “Chace” (presumably meaning Crawford) on W 22nd St (Momsen supposedly lives in Chelsea). Apparently Little J’s style has had a bit of influence of previously child-star-style-tastic Momsen. Momsen was also donning large celebrity-esque sunglasses.

Though Taylor is, in my opinion, the second most fabulous female star on the show (first being Leighton Meester, of course), she’s done little to propel herself to total stardom. Her costar Blake Lively, who’s on the cover of W Magazine’s December issue, has been all over the place, and even Ed Westwick snagged himself some publicity via an ad campaign with K Swiss.

Does Taylor perhaps wish to propel herself in a different direction than that of her costars? Earlier this year, Momsen signed with IMG Models, and recently, she graced the cover of Crash Magazine wearing crazy makeup and overdone eyebrows reminiscent of the Jonas Brothers. A quick visit to the IMG website reveals Taylor might just have what it takes to make it in the modeling world. Girlfriend’s got the coltish look with legs that go on for miles, and her test shots aren’t half bad. We might just be on to something…

The question remains, however, whether Taylor can really move a product. That is, she’s pretty and all, and she know show to throw a teenaged hissy fit way better than an other star her age (see: Jenny Humphrey storming out of her family’s Brooklyn loft onto the streets of DUMBO), but can she sell a $5,000 bag?

Guess we’ll just have to see where Little J ends up. Remember, Taylor, the modeling industry may be pretty on the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and the inside of the industry isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Just wanted to warn you.

You know you love me.

XOXO,

Previously, Jenny’s innocent looks aided her in flying under the radar as she attempted to climb the social ladder and overthrow the Queen B, Blair. But now she looks exactly like the kind of girl who gets too big for her britches, burns a major bridge with her fashion mentor, lets Marissa Cooper’s little sister talk her into dancing around in her underwear for a skeezy photographer and kisses her older brother’s friend. So much for the element of surprise. Next week we fully expect to see her doing an eightball with Amy Winehouse.

Taylor Momsen was released Wednesday afternoon from L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after battling a “severe, potentially life-threatening throat infection.

“I have been treating Miss Taylor Momsen for the last few days,” Momsen’s doctor, Shawn Nasseri, tells Usmagazine.com. “She has been hospitalized for a severe, potentially life-threatening throat infection since Sunday.

“She has been an excellent patient, and after aggressive antibiotics and medications, she is expected to make a full recovery in the next three to five days,” the doctor adds.

Momsen, 15, was in L.A. to take a school exam when she “woke up with a sore throat,” a source close to the actress tells Us.

“She thought it was just a common cold, but was advised to see an ear, nose and throat specialist before getting on a plane back to New York,” the source adds.

After discovering how serious the situation was, “her mom flew out to get her, and is flying back [to NYC] with Taylor this week.

“She’s in unbelievable spirits” despite the diagnosis, the source says.

On Wednesday night, the CW announced Momsen would be back to work by the end of the week.

“Taylor Momsen is a beloved member of our Gossip Girl cast and we are happy to report she is on the road to a speedy recovery,” the network said in a statement to Us. “We all look forward to her planned return to work on Friday.“

Recent box-office releases that are coming on disc Tuesday include:

• The Visitor – Tom McCarthy directs Richard Jenkins, Hazz Sleiman and Hiam Abbas in a drama about a college professor and recent widower who discovers a pair of homeless illegal immigrants living in his New York apartment.

Stylish ‘Gossip Girl’ actress Taylor Momsen recently showed up to the Metropolitan Opera season opener in a red dress that, while gorgeous, showed a bust and neckline more appropriate for someone born in … say, 1983 as opposed to 1993. At just 15 years old, Momsen’s got the taste police on alert, as New York Magazine declares:

“Taylor Momsen Is Just 15 But Dresses Like She’s 35.“

// Check out these photos and tell us: Is she dressing too sexy for a 15-year-old?

Gossip Girl cutie Taylor Momsen, aka Jenny Humphrey, has gone from long and wavy locks to short and cute to rocker chic. Now the 15-year-old actress has been sporting an 80’s-inspired haircut and rough-and-tough bangs.

• Why the sudden rocker chick look?

“The new look was precipitated by her character’s evolution,” a source close to the 15-year-old actress tells JustJared.com. “But Taylor is also personally enjoying the change.”
