We would never have seen this coming last year, but…

Perez genuinely LOVES Taylor Momsen's debut album with her band, The Pretty Reckless!

So, we recently sat down with the Gossip Girl star and singer to talk about her music, her TV show, her controversial style and her shocking statements!

And so much more!

Such a JUICY interview!!!

Check it out (above)!

P.S. Yes, Taylor actually wrote ALL the songs on her album with one of her bandmates. We asked.

Very impressed!

An excellent cover for her!

She just LOVES to paint herself as a whack-job, doesn't she?

Taylor Momsen, who worked with Madonna and her daughter, Lourdes, on their Material Girl line, recently revealed that she was concerned that her influence on the pop icon's kid, as well as other young girls, may not be in their best interest!

She explains:

"I probably am a bad influence. The other day, this reporter brought his 12-year-old daughter to an interview. She was looking at me open-mouthed, like: 'I want stripper shoes, Daddy!' He hated me! But I'm not saying, 'Be like me.' I hope girls read what I say in interviews - they should just be themselves. They wouldn't want to be like me. I'm crazy. I'm fucking out of my mind. I've been told I was out of my mind since I was 11."

Whatever you say, bb!

But we DO like that you want your fans to be themselves!

It's an important lesson to learn, and the earlier, the better!

Thoughts??

Raccoon eye makeup or not, we really love her debut album and are totally feeling her as an artist!

Check out the Gossip Girl star and her band, The Pretty Reckless, tackle the classic Wonderwall on French TV (above)!

She's left the Upper East Side and she's taking on the world!

Official tour dates for The Pretty Reckless' first headline tour have just been announced. Staring right here in El Lay in February, the band's hitting some of the best small venues across the country.

Taylor Momsen's first step into being a rock god. Oh, what kind of trouble will she get into, we wonder!

Check out the full list below to see when they are heading your way.

Any of U think you'll catch them on tour?

Uh-oh! Sounds like a certain somebody's parents weren't too happy about a certain someone running her mouth off to the press!

Even though Taylor Momsen wants the world to think that she's mature beyond her 16 years and speaks a little too frankly to the press about things she probably knows very little to nothing about, she's actually back-tracking on the comments she made regarding her folks forcing her into the entertainment business too young, and taking away from her childhood!

She explains:

"[After reading the article, they felt] horrible! I love my mom and dad. Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages, I was still a child. Maybe it wasn't a conventional one, but you know… I like where I am now so it's okay. I think my parents have learned by this point that none of [what they read] is probably true, and words can be put in your mouth."

We're actually very pleased that she did this!

THIS acknowledgement and regard for the feelings of your parents is a true sign of maturity, bb!

It's not always easy to own up to a mistake, and then apologize for it, so we're proud of you!

We guess our Little J really is growing up! LOLz!

We're not surprised she feels this way - she's been in front of the camera her entire life!

Taylor Momsen recently revealed that she woke up one morning to the realization that she's a product of growing up in the entertainment industry!

She explains:

"You get more insight as you get older, on everything. I kind of woke up one morning and was like, 'Oh I see what's happening, I get everything.' I woke up and was like, 'I get it, I'm a product.' Fame just kind of happens overnight. No one prepares you for it. On 'Gossip Girl', I was just going to work, doing what I've always done, and then all of a sudden you're like, 'Woah!' But you get used to it. You ignore it - because whatever people say about me doesn't bother me at all. If you're in high school or college or at work, someone's not going to like you. It's inevitable. But it doesn't mean anything."

And you're still growing up, bb! You haven't stopped yet, nor will you stop getting more and more insight as time goes on.

Just keep in mind that even though you've been working like an adult and living an adult life, you're still allowed to be a kid!

On Gossip Girl, Kelly Rutherford's character really has no idea what her stepdaughter is capable of. In the real world, Kelly is fully aware of Taylor Momsen's potential and recently came to the defense of her costar when asked about her departure from the show.

As fans have already seen, Jenny Humphrey hightailed it out of Manhattan after her daddy found out about her shady dealings. We know that this was the exit Taylor was waiting for so she could take a hiatus from the show for an undetermined amount of time.

When asked about Taylor leaving the show, Kelly showed no hostility or bitterness towards the young actress, attributing her exit to the girl's music and not her professionalism. She explains:

"Her passion has just really become her music. Taylor's out there doing her music and if you hear her music you understand why she is so passionate…I think she's young and is exploring her world and she's exploring being an artist. I think it's important to be fully expressed."

Sure, kids need some to find themselves.

Let's just hope she really is a passionate as Kelly says she is about her craft, and not the rockstar lifestyle!
