How many times do we have to tell you? Taylor Momsen is HARDCORE. She is badass. She is 17 years old, and she’s going to school all of those other bitches on what it means to be pantless brat. A HARDCORE pantless brat. Anyway, we can add another story to The Hardcore Files, because one of Taylor’s bandmates is “revealing” a story about Taylor that will make your eyes water. From grossness. According to Ben Phillips, guitarist for The Pretty Reckless (that poor bastard), Taylor loves to burn sh-t. Like, anything you’ve got, she’ll burn it. Example: her dog’s balls. Yep.
Taylor Momsen loves setting things on fire, according to her bandmates. The Pretty Reckless singer is said to have surprised the group by her love of fire, claiming that she often takes her obsession too far.
“Taylor loves setting things on fire, so this is great. Taylor thinks we’re some rock ‘n’ roll badasses,” guitarist Ben Phillips told Heat.
“In the studio, there was this pit where the owner would burn stuff. We’d burn old keyboards, computers, stuff them full of TNT and set them on fire. Taylor loves fire. I shouldn’t say this. One morning, Taylor got into the studio really early – she’d just had her dog neutered and brought in the bits. Which she then burned. We were grossed out.”
Momsen also defended her reputation for being difficult to work with.
She insisted: “I do smile when things are funny. I’m quite moody, I’m a teenager and I’m PMS-ing all the f**king time, what do you expect? I am quite moody and I have an interesting life and I get my picture taken 24/7, and it’s not always pleasurable.
“I am really moody, but I’m not a mean person. I’m actually nice.”
On her provocative clothing, she said: “I’m 17. Aren’t I supposed to be provocative? I don’t really understand what the problem is. I know I dress provocatively on stage, but it’s just rock ‘n’ roll. Like, I don’t really understand what the big deal is.”
[From Digital Spy]
A word about that last quote: PROVOCATIVE. Do you get the feeling that Taylor just learned that word? That “provocative” is her word of the year? No one ever uses that word to describe Taylor, she only uses that word to describe herself. Other people use words like “dumbass” or “little pants-wearing sellout moron” to describe Taylor.
Regarding the whole “setting fire to your dog’s balls” story. My first thought was of the three indicators of psychopathy in children – bedwetting, cruelty to animals and starting fires. Is Taylor a little psychopath? You decide.
By the way, these photos were taken on the set of Gossip Girl – that’s why Racoon McPantless isn’t covered in charcoal.
this little girl needs a good shaking.
You know, I have had several dogs neutered in my life time, and not once have I been offered to take home my dogs “bits”. What kind of an asshole takes home dog balls? What is the point of burning them? She is an idiot!
My vote is for psychopath. It explains a lot.
wow, she looks worlds better without all that black-eye crap.
yeah, she likes to think she’s provocative, when all she is, is a fairly typical teenager. she just has more money and exposure.
EDIT: Fluffy, I was wondering that, too. my guess is that she TOLD everyone they were her dogs removed balls because she thought it would be PROVOCATIVE for her to have saved them, and then bring them in to burn them. TRYING. TOO. HARD.
Hmmm. Now I see why she’s always doing the raccoon eyes – to distract from her face. Without the eye charcoal her face is more noticeable …. and I notice that she is very, very ordinary-looking. Wait, did I say ‘ordinary?’ I meant provocative.
Why does’nt she just set herself on fire?
How is burning dog balls that were removed from her dog animal cruelty? Hell if anything taking her dog to get neutered in the first place is quite responsible. Its weird but hell she is 17 and she can be doing worse.
Taylor doesn’t bother me and she isn’t really a sell out since was never anything but what we have always seen her as. If she is ever in Proactiv commercial then she is a sell out. Ugh hate those commercials.
I do hate moody people though. I mean I find dark, emo, Rock n Roll, and moody types attractive but they hate everything and they are never in the mood for sex and if they do sleep with you they have to act like it was nothing. Jerks I tell you. Jerks.
When are they going to kill her off on that show?
Three thoughts:
Yeah, I thought of the same unholy trinity–bedwetting, cruelty to animals, and arson–when I heard this. The bandmate who thinks that TNT is just some sort of fire excellerant is an idiot as well.
Only some of us should wear our make up as a mask and we actually are furry woodland creatures, and hecka smarter than this pseudo-raccoon.
Shes no psychopath, she’s just a girl who wants to be cool. At least she is proactive about spay/neutering her pets.
sooo bland.
she is trying way too hard. I get the feeling her bandmates are embarrassed of her
You know what happens to 17-year old with weak chins? They look like crap by the time they’re 25. Enjoy people taking your picture while it lasts honey, because in couple of years you’re going to be worse off than Britney Spears.
This story is so made up it makes my eyes bleed. Animal parts are considered medical waste and disposed of accordingly; they are not doled out to 17 year old owners who would like to keep them. She thinks this makes her look cool; what it does is make her look like an especially annoying liar.
I agree Jackson! She is very ordinary looking – very bland and baby faced. Ha!
@chris – worse off than Britney Spears, that’s hilarious. I’ve often thought that there’s a particular type of girl who is “hot” from ages 17-22 or 23, and then just goes downhill. In fact, there are tons of them. When Britney was in her prime, there were signs that she wasn’t going to age well; I have a theory that really beautiful people, i.e. people who are going to retain their beauty, have nice ears, hands, and feet. Britney has horrible ears, and stumpy hands and feet.
That was a bit OT, but I think it holds true for Taylor and her ilk. Also, I’m going to start lobbying for better celebrities, because I think the current rash of celebrities really S-U-X. I mean, in the 40s they had Hepburn and Tracy, Bogart and Bacall… we have Momsen, Leann Rhimes or however the hell you spell it, Jesse James and his whores, and Demi and Ashton??? I guess each society gets the celebrities it deserves.
@kelly I think it’s that ‘particular type of girl’ that gives rise to the whole belief that men age better than women. I’ve noticed that if you factor out the ‘hot from 16-23’ type of girl men and women seem equally likely to age well or not.
Taylor does have a weak jaw…that’s not going to look pretty in 10-15 years.
So true Kelly talk about all our uncool lame celebs; think of all the great rockers of the 60s, and then compare them to this no talent idiot. I can’t even despise her anymore she’s too pathetic; excellent point Robn but if its made up how desperate an attention grab is that.
Wow she is so hardcore.
Reading about this child’s silly cries for attention is even more excruciatingly embarrassing than watching Paris Hilton try to act.
She doesn’t bother me, but the girl is such a try hard, it’s kinda sad.
Thats just nasty.
She is so annoying and lame. So, so unoriginal. How did she get “famous”? Does she have rich/industry-connected family?
@LOVE ANGELINA
” Its weird but hell she is 17 and she can be doing worse. ”
EXACTLY!. The answer is not “psychopath”, the answer is TEENAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or maybe “FAMOUS TEENAGER”. Whatever, it’s not a big deal, and I get what she was trying to say about the way she dresses on stage. So, in my opinion, leave her alone. Besides, I kinda like her music.
Praise St. Angie!- Yep. Perfectly said.
my man, a true hardcore rock dude, thinks she just needs to shut up and play (and get better at it). I agree.
The fuck? Did this girl get dropped on her head as a baby?
And where are her parents? If my teenage daughter was acting like a douchey jackass, I’d have something to say about it. Gah.
Wow, I never noticed how much she looks like Christina Agulara. I just saw some recent pictures of Hagulera & they have very similar (read: fug) chins… Poor things…
I’ve just given one of her tracks a listen. As a 17 year old, I was a bassist in a metal band (and still am to this day). There might be an excuse for the verbal diarrhoea that dribbles out of her mouth, but there’s no excuse for your music being that weak. Pink (who’s also about as rock as a daisy in a puddle) sounds better, and that’s saying something.
Lol @love Angelina! Love the last part of your comment!
She is SOOO badass! She scares me. I would beg for my life if I ever ran into her in a dark ally. Look, she even has MASCARA…
That last picture of her is so beautiful! Why does she insist on making herself look so ugly with the mascara?
Seriously where are her parents? Why do they let her walk around like that?
About fifteen years from now Taylor will look back on these years and be incredibly embarrassed. Either that or she’ll just turn into Courtney Love.
hey Kelly, I like your theory because that would mean I am beautiful , thank you !!
Now there are also three indicators to a serial killer and they are : cruelty to animals, starting fires and raping people. Is having your dog neutered considered like rape ? !

Actually, the MacDonald triad (three indicators of possible serial killer livelihood in the future) are: firestarting, animal cruelty, and bedwetting beyond the normal age that bedwetting generally stops. Not all serial killers are rapists.
She’s not a potential serial killer, just an annoying teenager.
@Kelly: Good looks that last can be attributed (IMO) to facial bone structure (or lack thereof – see Momsen as an example of poor bone structure) and how well your tissues (muscle, skin, collagen etc.) hold up.
Sorry for all the ()!
POSEUR MOMSEN!
OH MY GOD I cannot stand this girl. YOU ARE A KID at seventeen. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE TITS DOES NOT MEAN YOU NEED TO DISPLAY THEM AT ALL TIMES.
God damn it, I’m eighteen and I WEAR PANTS FOR GODSAKE. What is WRONG with her parents?!!?
I’m not even going to comment on the dog balls. It’s about as bulshitty as her “love for knives” or whatever. God. What a poser. She makes rock music look bad.
This girl has NO personality what so ever. How she ended up as Madonnas spokesperson is beyond me. She is not even that attractive.
It’s not psychopathic because the balls weren’t attached to the dog, it didn’t hurt the dog in any way, therefore its not animal cruelty. If anything, the act of neutering animals (aka taking their right to children away) is the cruel thing.. and yet its an accepted (and expected) part of society. Go figure.
