Taylor Momsen: “I wasn’t insulting Rihanna!”

43886, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - Monday August 23 2010. 17-year-old Taylor Momsen teeters out of the Radio One Maida Vale Studios on some skyscraper gun stilettoes after performing live with her band, The Pretty Reckless. The Gossip Girl star and face of Madonna and Lourdes Ciccone's new clothing range stunned onlookers by wearing a thigh-skimming mini dress complete with stockings, suspenders and some pistol-themed, bullet strapped lap dancer shoes as she stepped out in the London daylight.

In an interview with, erm, Interview Magazine, Taylor cleared the matter up.

“I was arguing the difference between rock vs. pop” she explained.

“I wasn’t insulting Rihanna!”

The comments Taylor, 17, is speaking of are the ones she made to Spin Magazine earlier this month.

“People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred.” the Gossip Girl actress said.

“Now Rihanna’s wearing f****** leather jackets, and it’s really annoying.”
