I think it is crazy how much of a transformation that Jenny Humphrey, played by Taylor Momsen, on Gossip Girl has made since the first episode of Gossip Girl. She is no longer that little insecure girl.  Her character now has a serious attitude and apparently in real life she has one too.

We have all seen pictures of this 16-year-old smoking cigarettes.  When you have children watching a show with a young girl that they may look up to, having pictures out there of her smoking is not the greatest thing.  People often follow what is in the media, and if you are going to be an actress, I personally think that you should care how people perceive you.

The 16-year-old ‘Gossip Girl’ actress doesn’t care people have criticised her for smoking cigarettes because she lives her life how she wants to and insists she isn’t bothered about how she is perceived.

She said: “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.’

“When I walk outside with a cigarette and someone takes a picture of it and puts it on the internet, it’s not my problem. I’m just living my life and I’m not gonna live my life for other people.

“I don’t read that c**p that describes me as having an attitude, but I don’t know why that’s a bad thing. I didn’t get into this to be a role model for seven-year-olds. I have no interest in doing that.”

Momsen isn’t my favorite person on the show so I’m not surprised that she has a bad attitude.  She should care about this.  When you are a celebrity, you need to understand that your privacy is going to be invaded and people are going to talk.  It just comes with the package.  She is being ignorant for saying that she is just living her life.  Come on, she is 16, she shouldn’t be smoking cigarettes anyway, she isn’t even of age.
