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.

In tonight’s repeat of Gossip Girl’s season 2 episode “Pret-A-Poor Jenny,” Jenny (Taylor Momsen) befriends a young model Agnes (guest star Willa Holland, The O.C) who encourages Jenny to stand up for herself to Eleanor Waldorf (Margaret Colin), who tries to “borrow” Jenny’s designs.

Meanwhile, this is the episode where Serena (Blake Lively) meets artist Aaron Rose (John Patrick Amedori) – not exactly my favorite part of the season.

Blair (Leighton Meester) attempts to seduce Chuck (Ed Westwick), but it proves tougher than she ever imagined. But you go girl!

Don’t have time to watch? Read the recap here.

Gossip Girl airs on Mondays at 7 p.m. CST on The CW. Of course, this fall when Gossip Girl returns for its third season on Sept. 14, it will move to One Tree Hill’s time slot at 8 p.m. CST (and One Tree Hill will move to the 7 p.m. spot.)

By the way, Amedori has been cast in ABC’s midseason drama Happy Town.

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:

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.

Here is a video featuring the Gossip Girl cast at the CW Upfront presentation on May 21 in New York City.

Later, the cast spent more time together posing for photos at the CW Upfront party.

Are you as excited about Season 3 starting as I am?

The gals of Gossip Girl made a splashy appearance at the CW Upfront presentation on Thursday.

Leighton Meester (Blair), Jessica Szohr (Vanessa), Taylor Momsen (Jenny) and Blake Lively (Serena) showed off their individual personalities with their fashions on the “green” carpet during the CW upfronts.

Did you think Blake and Leighton asked each other before coming: “Let’s both wear something summery? Of course, Blake Lively wins for her jumper.

Here are more photos of the girls:

Will Jenny be the next Queen Bee on Gossip Girl? Penelope and her minions seem to be wanting her to “try out” for the job. Though they may have something else up their sleeve. I love it when they tell her what would high school be without hierarchy. Jenny replies: “Bareable. A nice place to spend time.” Right on, Jenny!

But in Gossip Girl world, it seems there has to be a queen bee. And at the moment Blair Waldorf is it.

And Blair says she decides who to pass the crown on to. But Penelope says it will be decided by whoever sends the biggest piece of untold gossip to Nate’s party wins. Jenny, don’t do it!

Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey) and Michelle Trachtenberg (bad girl Georgina Sparks) were spotted arriving to the TopShop VIP Party at Balthazar in New York City Tuesday night. The event was in celebration of the new Topshop store in NYC.

Momsen was fashioned in a cropped black leather jacket (awesomely cool!), black top, super-hot pink mini skirt and fishnet stockings.

Trachtenberg also wore a black leather jacket over a short sparkly black, gold and green hip-hugging dress.

The event was hosted by Sir Philip Green which drew celebrities ranging from Jimmy Fallon to Emma Roberts for a private dinner and a look at the UK-based fashion outlet’s designs.

Other celebrities on hand included: Michelle Monaghan, Emily Mortimer and Santigold.

The grand opening of the new 40,000-square-foot store was held today with Kate Moss cutting the ribbon.

Taylor Momsen took a break from filming Gossip Girl on March 17 to grab a salad at a nearby deli, showing off her rocker-girl side.

Personally, I like Momsen’s look. It works for her.

Plus, Momsen is now fronting her own band, The Reckless, and told Teen Vogue in late February that she writes all the music and hopes to start touring in April.

Momsen didn’t classify her music into any group but says it’s darker and heavier than people will probably expect.

Here are more photos of Momsen off set:

Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey) really has shed her school-girl look these days. In almost every picture she is more rocker girl than private school girl she plays on The CW’s recently renewed Gossip Girl.

In these pictures taken Feb. 23, Taylor walks to the set on the Lower East Side.

Lately her character on Gossip Girl has been kinda blah. She hasn’t had many storylines except for being a third wheel to Eric (Connor Paolo) and his boyfriend.

It’s time for Jenny to get in the middle of the action. How about a new guy for Jenny? What do you want to happen to Jenny?
