Looks like Taylor Momsen (Gossip Girl) is either about to self immolate or make her “people” work overtime while trying to come up with some sort of spin on this one.
While at the launch party for her new perfume, Love Rocks, (smells like eye-liner, high school melodrama, the Lindsay Lohan Express, and career suicide) OK! Magazine asked the 16 year old if she planned to follow the lead of other celebrities that are donating both their time and money to help with the Haiti earthquake crisis.
“Um, right now I’m trying to just finish my record and getting through the last season of Gossip Girl for right now. So not so much thinking about that.” She answerd, adding, “But it’s awesome that everyone is ya know, working towards a good cause.”
I get that teenagers can be self absorbed (teenage actors even more so) and some never people never grow out of it either, but come on, as an actor, fake concern or give some sort of generic response that acknowleges the situation without actually commiting to anything.
“I think it’s terrible what’s happened and I intend to see how I can help as soon as I’m able to give the crisis the attention it deserves”. See? So much better.
Then again, I guess Momen’s candor and honesty (even if sickeningly callous) should be at least recognized. Will it cost her? The backlash has already started.
