Taylor Momsen Smoking a Cigarette
Taylor’s career came to a halt for over three years until she got the lead role in the never-aired WB series Misconceptions. . In 2000 Taylor got the role of Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Because she doesn’t give a f-ck. Because she’s a pantless brat. Because she wants to be the next Lindsay Lohan.
