Taylor Momsen 'I Quit Acting'; 'Gossip Girl' Star Says She Is Finished Acting

Some people would be bothered if they were no longer a part of a very popular television series.

But Taylor Momsen is not one of them.

After leaving "Gossip Girl" in May Momsen has been having a lot of fun while touring with her band, The Pretty Reckless, and she doesn't seem to be looking back.

Backstage after her set at Tokyo's Summer Sonic music festival, the 18-year-old told Elle that she "quit acting" forever.

The actress/model/singer has been spending some time in the studio but is unsure if it's going to turn into something concrete.

"So whether it's a new album or, I don't know exactly, we just write the songs and record them and everyone else decides what to do with them!"

She also talked about more familiar topics like wearing lots of black eye shadow and stripper boots.

In order to "quit," you must first "begin." Pouting doesn't qualify as acting.

What are the current Vegas odds on how long it takes her to go back to acting once they figure out that her "band" is a collection of no talent hacks who rely on lingerie, instead of actual music, to draw a crowd?

Doesn't matter how "stunning" she is on the outside, she comes off as a very ugly and bitter person.

Unless you know people personally, you really can't tell who they are as a person completely...besides, bitter is fine, a lot to be bitter about these days.

People may not like her personality, but her voice is cool.

Teenagers declaring anything "forever" might just mean "for now." All those ex-BFFs know what I'm talking about.

She should quit eye makeup. Then her mole above her lip should quit. Let's face it, talent quit at birth on her.
