Taylor Momsen Reveals Why She Quit 연기 

When Little J left Manhattan, she didn’t look back.

Taylor Momsen, as you know, ditched Nate, Chuck and Queen B to pursue life on the road as a gritty rock star, and while approximately zero of us thought that was a good idea, it turns out TM showed us.

Tay, along with her band The Pretty Reckless, recently became the first woman EVER to land three consecutive No. 1 hits (“Heaven Knows,” “Messed Up World,” and “Follow Me Down”) on the rock charts–a feat not even Stevie Knicks or Joan Jett managed to achieve.

“My reaction was sheer and utter shock,” Taylor laughed. “I really didn’t know if this record was even going to come out, and so to have so much success from it is pretty mind-blowing!”

But…not really. T also says that she’s been an aspiring stage queen for as long as she can remember.

“Ever since I was a little kid, I was always singing and jotting down songs and making up things,” she explained. “You write a lot of bad songs before you write good ones. I had to wait until I got a little older till I actually wrote a record’s worth of material that I wanted the world to hear.”

So does she regret ditching the screen to pursue a life in a (yuck) tour bus?

“No, not at all,” she said firmly. “I quit because I finally could just tour in a band, and I got to a place in my life when I had the luxury of doing that. And a lot of people thought I couldn’t. I think when I quit [acting], everyone thought I was crazy, and now it’s three number ones later, so they were wrong.”

I must admit, I didn’t exactly have high hopes for her and her panda makeup, but just goes to show that even 

don’t know everything…but let’s keep that our little secret…xoxo.

The Gossip Girl Cast: What Should They Do Next?

The gorgeous new mom has always embraced her domestic side, which is why I’d love her to write a cookbook with her favorite recipes. She is basically our generation’s Martha Stewart. Keep growing that empire, Blake!

Leighton has had a few movie roles and a stint on Broadway (alongside James Franco!) since her

days wrapped. No big blockbusters, but enough to pay her bills. Her heart, though, is really in her music and LM released an album titled

last October. Darlings, I think she should head back to Great White Way in NYC for a leading role in a musical. Do I hear a Tony calling her name?

Lonely boy has never been one to love being famous—he’s into his craft and committing to roles. He had a two-episode arc in TV show

earlier this year and has a movie slated for release later this year. Although he\'s keen on leaving TV behind, I’d love to see him continue in the drama genre with a movie role that requires a physical transformation, which could garner him some buzz next awards season.

, Chace has been busy with a one-episode guest appearance on

, a movie in 2014, and four films slated for 2015. Plus, he\'s starring in

, a pilot from ABC. However, I think he’d really shine in a sitcom with an ensemble cast or as the leading man in a love story. Nicholas Sparks, you got a role for Chace?

My favorite Brit hasn’t taken a break post-

, has four movies slated for release this year, and is currently filming a TV movie (weird). Darling Ed, put your English roots to good use! Do more Shakespeare or other period pieces. Maybe even swing by

With a string of guest roles on various hit TV shows and regular appearances at various NYC social events, KR doesn’t seem to be bored. She’s found her biggest success with dramatic TV, both on

. Can I please see her showcase those acting chops with a recurring role on something like

? I\'ll settle for her just admitting that she\'s dating Matthew Settle aka Rufus IRL, as long as I get an invite to that wedding.

Oh Rufus, my favorite TV dad. Matthew has had a couple TV movie roles and starred in last year’s horror flick

, but lambs, he’s better than that. Come on, Hollywood, cast Matthew and Kelly in another will-they-won’t-they TV show.

The girl from Brooklyn has the coolest group of BFFs IRL. She’s got Taylor Swift, Nina Dobrev, and Julianne Hough on speed-dial. These gals should partner up on-screen for a coming-of-age series or trilogy following a group of 20-something women trying to thrive and survive the quarter life.

Since leaving the show, Taylor has put all of her energy into music with her band The Pretty Reckless and, well, maintaining that intense smoky eye look. Her band is currently touring the country to promote the album

. You just keep doing you, little Jenny!

With another hit TV show under her belt and a wonderful family at home, KB doesn’t need much career advice. And with news of a

sequel coming our way, I’d only suggest she use that leverage for more passion projects, like the

OMG, little J is now pursuing her dreams? Am I late. Or what. No more Gossip girl. HORRID.

Molly Barlow might as well be wearing a scarlet letter. Everybody in the small town knows about her painful betrayal of her boyfriend Patrick Donnelly with his brother Gabe. Now, surrounded by gossip and prying eyes, Molly must somehow survive 99 days in her old home town before she leaves for college.
