How is Taylor Momsen doing in the wake of her departure from Gossip Girl? Just fine, according to a new Elle profile that begins with the promising sentence "Stripper boots and a dress made out of glorified bra-strap bands sewn together is not your typical pre-noon apparel," and ends with this quote from the 18-year-old front woman for the Pretty Reckless: "I quit acting, actually. I quit Gossip Girl and now tour and am in a band and that's pretty much all I want to do. Hopefully I'll be able to only do that for the rest of my life." Or at least until a lifetime on the road makes her abs as wizened as Iggy Pop's.
