The casting news was first reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Tim Gunn on His "Gossip Girl" Cameo: Taylor Momsen's 'Pathetic,' Everyone Else Is a 'Delight'

By now, the contestants on "Project Runway" know better than to ignore the advice from wise sage Tim Gunn. So perhaps notoriously independent "Gossip Girl" 17-year-old star Taylor Momsen will listen to Gunn's guidance as well.



When making a cameo appearance on "GG's" fourth episode this season, Gunn observed Momsen's bratty behavior firsthand.

"What a diva!" he told E! News. "She was pathetic; she couldn't remember her lines; and she didn't even have that many. I thought to myself, 'Why are we all being held hostage by this brat?'"






Though he didn't say anything to her at the time, Gunn said he does have a few words of wisdom for the actress.

"I'd say, 'You know young lady, there are hundreds of thousands of girls who are just as attractive and even smarter than you. Why are you acting like this show is a huge burden on you?'

She was on her phone during every break, I wanted to tell her, 'If you weren't on your BlackBerry, you can retain this stuff.'''





Apparently Gunn wasn't the only one annoyed by Momsen's behavior.

"At one point the director leaned in and whispered to me, 'This is day in, day out, my life.' She annoyed the entire crew."



Thankfully, Gunn had kinder words for Momsen's costars, calling them a "delight" to work with.
