Maybe a public apology will put Taylor Momsen back in her parents' good graces.
After the 17-year-old Pretty Reckless rocker blamed her mom and dad for her "miserable" attitude in November, Momsen says her bratty comments were blown out of proportion.
"My parents signed me up with Ford [Modeling] at the age of 2," Momsen complained to Revolver magazine. "No 2-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice. My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn't have friends. I was working constantly and I didn't have a real life."
The Gossip Girl actress says her parents felt "horrible" after reading the article, which is why she decided to clarify what she meant in a new interview with Kerrang magazine.

"I love my mom and dad. Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages," Momsen explains. "I was still a child. Maybe it wasn't a conventional one, but you know... I like where I am now, so it's OK. I think my parents have learned by this point that none of [what they read] is probably true, and words can be put in your mouth."
Not that the actress, who was reportedly suspended from the Gossip Girl set in November due to bad behavior, pays much attention to what her critics have to say.

"I don't own a computer, so the most I see is when people tell me about it. I just ignore it and try to live my own life," she shrugs. "[Fame] is just high school on a massive, massive scale. So I ignore what people say and focus on my music and doing what I do."

6She tries to hard she needs to wipe off half of that makeup and just be herself and not some re-created image.
she looks awful. she used to be cute.
It would be great if she could try to re-create some of the things she didn't experience as a child, seeing she's only 17. Sounds depressed. Go to a Prom, go to a small town mall with friends. Even Justin Beiber can go to IHOP for a little date.
She used to be such a cute lil girl, now she is just trash, sigh.
at 2 you don't know what is what.. she has the pitty me attitude.. many kids go through that and have mannerisms that are respectable. her mannerisms is typical teenage ,but in public eye she's a jerk about things. my guess is she wants attention..fot her cd release
Taylor your music is awesome!! Definitly keep focusing on that :) So excited for my cd to finally come in!!!!!
