taylormomsenknife.jpg Yet another reason not to mess with Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen -- she carries a knife and she knows how to use it!

"I have my favorite black knife with me all the time," she told UK's Metro newspaper. "It's a switchblade. It relaxes me to flick it." Taylor added, "I flew from New York to Los Angeles and still had a couple of knives in my purse. I thought I took them all out but they got tucked up in the folds. I went through security, took them on the plane, opened my bag to get my wallet in LA and they fell out. I was like: 'Holy sh*t!'"

Oh Taylor. Sometimes we think you do this just for the press, but we love you anyway!
