Volatile starlet in trouble, sort of

Let’s all read between the lines:

EXCLUSIVE: Gossip Girl firebrand Taylor Momsen will continue to be a scarce presence on the CW soap during the second half of the season. Sources confirm that the increasingly volatile actress — who has appeared in a grand total of three episodes this fall despite being listed as a series regular — will begin an indefinite hiatus following next Monday's episode.

There are rumors that she’s difficult and troubled. Don’t know where they got that.

Us also says:

Momsen, who also fronts the rock band Pretty Reckless, has grown up since her big-screen debut at age 7 as cute Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas -- raising eyebrows with her skimpy, intensely Gothic wardrobe, notoriously foul-mouthed interviews and angry, age-inappropriate antics.

By which they mean flashing the crown on stage. The article also says she wanted a bar in her dressing room, but that was according to “insiders,” so who knows.

Whether she ends up Lohanesque is entirely up to her, but she does seem to have an early start.
