As you probably know, Taylor Momsen, who plays Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, is the lead singer of a new band called The Pretty Reckless. During her break from Gossip Girl filming (which has now resumed) she toured with The Veronicas.

A blogger named “Wanderling” attended The Veronicas/The Pretty Reckless concert on Saturday in Vancouver along with fellow blogger friend Eyeliah. Pictured above is Wanderling posing with Momsen.

Wanderling has allowed me to share some of the photos she took at the concert.

Here’s her thoughts on the concert:

“… T Mom completely blew me away. I mean, I went in there expecting crap and she actually had a pretty rad band, a wicked smokey voice and cool stage presence. Let’s not forget…THE GIRL IS ONLY 15 YEARS OLD!” Wanderling wrote on her blog.

After the concert she bought a Pretty Reckless tee and got Taylor to sign it.

Have you seen Taylor Momsen in concert? If so, what are your thoughts?

Taylor Momsen, who plays Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, was spotted on the red carpet on June 22 at the Los Angeles premiere of “Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen” at the Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California.

While her dress to me totally rocks and fits her rocker-girl image (it’s kinda got that Madonna look to it), I absolutely ADORE her lace-up heels.

Taylor has spent her summer touring with her new indie-rock band Pretty Reckless tearing up the stage. I’ll upload photos of her rockin’ and video later today.

Here are two more photos of Taylor Momsen on the red carpet:

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) made an appearance at MTV studios for “It’s On with Alexa Chung” this week, talking about her music career and the upcoming release of Cobra Starship’s new video “Good Girls Go Bad” which features Meester singing with the group.

During the video, members of Cobra Starship join her for the interview and an clip from the video, which will be released Monday, is shown.

You’ll notice there was no mention of the supposed Leighton Meeter “sex tape.” I don’t blame her for not answering questions. This was really the wrong time for that (if there ever is a right time). But hopefully the media hoopla over Michael Jackson and Farrah Faucett deaths will make the story disappear from the headlines.

Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford (Nate) atended the 8th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles on June 8.

Crawford still has his  scruffy beard at the moment, though it does look better than it did while he was filming the Twelve movie about a month ago. He does look good in his suit though. I’m just ready for a clean-shaven Crawford to return.

Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) attended an event hosted by Bloomingdale’s, K-Swiss and NYLON for the debut of the K-Swiss Remastered Classic sneakers at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street in New York City on June 18.

Westwick signed a deal to be the new face of K-Swiss in November.

In these photos Westwick makes some funny faces, sticking out this tongue and smiling (something we rarely see his character Chuck Bass do!).

Here are more photos of Westwick at the event:

Ed Westwick, who plays bad boy millionaire Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl, received the Breakthrough Male Award at the Hollywood Life 11th Annual Young Hollywood Awards.

I‘m glad to see Ed Westwick win the award — as he really does bring Chuck Bass to life on Gossip Girl.

The event was held June 7 at the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California.

Korbi TV caught up with Ed Westwick on the red carpet, getting a few interesting details out of him.

When asked if he is a fan of Chuck and Blair, Ed Westwick said, “I am a fan of anything good - anything that has a good storyline — I’d like for them to give it a go, at least a real try.”

Ed Westwick also said he has seven tattoos, as Korbi was asking this question to several of the stars.

Here are more photos of Ed Westwick on the red carpet, looking suave as ever:

I guess Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley (Dan) got used to having a beard when he was in Thailand with co-star and real-life girlfriend Blake Lively (Serena) on vacation. The two were spotted at the W Hotel opening in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on June 4.

While he was clean-cut for the CW upfronts, he talked  to the media about how he grew the beard while on vacation. I am not a fan of the Penn Badgley beard. I wonder if Blake Lively is. Blake, please tell him to shave!

As for Blake, I like her white shirt dress with the ruffles. The dress has a strange shape, but it works for her long, lanky figure. It’s not a dress that would look good on everyone though.

Check out her rockin’ blue heels and a close-up of Penn Badgley’s beard after the jump.

When The CW upfronts were held last month, the Gossip Girl cast talked to numerous news organizations during the big media event. Out of that, we’ve seen several interviews (and photos) of the cast. Here’s another good interview from E! Online,which includes Blake Lively (Serena), Leighton Meester (Blair), Jessica Szohr (Vanessa), Taylor Momsen (Jenny), Dan (Penn Badgley) and Chace Crawford (Nate).

Blake Lively talks about her tour of Asia. Notice she doesn’t talk about it, but Penn Badgley went on the same trip - together, of course. She also is working on getting her scuba diving certification, which Leighton Meester jokes around a little with her. Leighton says Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina) will be around some in season 3 to make college miserable for Blair, and Serena will be looking into her father’s whereabouts.

Jessica Szohr thinks the beginning of season 3 will be focusing on college, while Taylor Momsen hopes Jenny shapes up high school now that she’s the Queen Bee.

Penn Badgley just shaved a beard. Personally, I’m glad I didn’t have to see it. Oh, and he says he and Blake are “too young” to think about marriage.

 Chace Crawford is asked about the Footloose movie for the upteenth time. The news that he was definitely getting the part was pretty fresh at that time, so I bet he was asked that question a hundred times. Basically, he had to work the movie into his Gossip Girl schedule.

Amanda Setton, who plays “mean girl” Penelope on Gossip Girl, shows her “sweeter” side while posing for CupcakeStop.com in New York City on June 3. CupcakeStop prides itself on being NYC’s first mobile gourmet cupcake shoppe.

Some of the cupcakes on the menu include triple chocolate, oreo crumb, red velvet and psychedelic tie dye.

Specialty cupcakes (available on certain days) include items like peanut butter and jelly cupcakes and cappuccino cupcakes.

If you are on Twitter, you can follow CupcakeStop to find out where they are headed!

They also sell coffee, tea and other beverages to accompany your sweet treat.

Do you think the mobile CupcakeStop will visit the Gossip Girl set in the near future? I think it’s a definite possibility.

Here are more photos of Amanda promoting the CupcakeStop:
