In this week’s Page Six Magazine – Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has earned a reputation as a sophisticated It girl-about-town, rubbing elbows with power players and finding her way into the gossip columns (Did she make out with her co-star? Was she hospitalized for “exhaustion”?). But there’s just one thing: She’s only 15. Page Six Magazine catches up with NYC’s biggest little lady.

On gossip column rumors that she was tipsy and making out with her 23-year-old co-star Chace Crawford at the Gossip Girl holiday bash:

“It’s like, yeah, I’m really going to go to a party with my cast and crew and all the executives at the network and dance on tables. That’s a great idea. [Tabloids] all want to make me out as this party girl, and I’m not. I’m underage! All I do is sit at home and play guitar. That’s seriously what I do.”

On being thrust into the spotlight and tabloids at just 15 years old:

“I have always been aware of the celebritiness, or whatever you want to call it, of this industry. But living it is a whole different thing than talking about it. It’s still strange when I hang out with my friends at a Christmas party and people make up lies about me.”

On her devotion to making music:
“I’m a control freak, and am retarded about having everything the way I want it in terms of production. My music is like my child. I sit in my room and write for four days straight and won’t let anyone hear it until I know I can put it out perfectly. Then I’ll let people judge it. I’m not going to feel comfortable [with people] criticizing it unless I satisfy myself first.”

On her passion for fashion:

“I love Alexander Wang! Oh, and I love Balmain and this new indie designer named Gary Graham. I discovered him; he’s so edgy and different. I like the high-end people—YSL, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana. I try not to leave the house without thinking of how I am going to present myself. It’s the way I am. But I’m not a little kid playing dress up. It’s all very real.”
