Is Taylor Momsen the Next Lindsay Lohan?

July 22, 2010 — -- For weeks, it's been the Lindsay Lohan show -- the Cannes caper, the courtroom crying, the rehab revisit, the stoic surrender. Now that she's locked up, let's move on to more pressing issues:

Who's the next Lindsay Lohan?

Meet Taylor Momsen. Like Lohan, she started acting as a child. Like Lohan, she dabbles in music. Like Lohan, she loves to party, smoke and make out with girls.

But unlike Lohan, she's a teenager.

At the tender age of 16, Momsen's already demonstrated a proclivity for thigh highs and stripper heels, cigarettes and sex toys. Her main gig: playing the problem-prone teen Jenny Humphrey on The CW's "Gossip Girl." Her side project: fronting the rock band The Pretty Reckless.

But at times, it seems like her real shtick is shock. This month, Momsen told Disorder magazine that she's "not gay but just bored of men" before adding that her best friend is her vibrator. In The Pretty Reckless' latest music video, "Miss Nothing," Momsen writhes over and under a dinner table, raccoon-eyed, barely clad, desperate to attract the attention of the bored old men trying to eat while she acts out.

In April, she told Entertainment Weekly, "I don't wanna be Courtney Love -- I wanna be Kurt Cobain." The month before that, she told Parade magazine, "I smoke, so what? Why do people give a s**t what a 16-year-old girl who they've never met does? It's not like I'm sitting there going, 'Kids, you should go buy a pack of cigarettes.'"

Clearly, she could care less about acting age-appropriate. But she's adopted Lohan's "FU" attitude (if not her manicure) a good five years before Lohan herself went off the rails. Is it all downhill from here? Taylor Momsen in 2007; Taylor Momsen earlier this month.
