Taylor Momsen did an interview with Britain's
Times Online, and not only did she reveal that she was one of the top three choices for Disney's
Hannah Montana series, but she basically tells her critics to suck it!
When asked about being a role model, Taylor eloquently responded:
"To be honest, I don't f*cking care. I didn't get into this to be a role model. So I'm sorry if I'm influencing your kids in a way that you don't like, but I can't be responsible for their actions. I don't care."
On missing out on
Hannah Montana:
"Honestly, if I'd have ended up as Hannah Montana, I don't know if the show would have gone as well. I probably would have told them all to go f*ck themselves by the time I hit 11. And I don't know how that would have gone down. It's great for Miley, but I really like where I am right now and I feel really fortunate to be able to really be myself."
I know she's going for the whole grungy, F-bombing dropping badass here, but isn't she taking it a little too far? Or maybe it's time to hire a new PR team?

After a bout of
pneumonia that landed her in the ICU, Brooke Mueller was released from the hospital Monday night.
"I picked her up [Monday night] and brought her to a friend's house in Los Angeles where we will stay until we decide what we are going to do and where we will go," her mother, Moira Fiore, told
People.
Brooke's hospitalization caused a delay in the Aspen hearing over her and Sheen's Christmas day domestic dispute.
"The doctors in ICU told Brooke that if she wants to get better she has to reduce stress and get a lot of R&R in the coming weeks," a source said. "Her mom thinks she needs some time away from Charlie [Sheen] and Los Angeles to get her head together."
Brooke's mom has been quite vocal about not wanting her daughter to reconcile with her husband, but it seems that they are already on their way to mending their relationship, with Charlie having visited Brooke during her hospitalization and Brooke requesting a removal of the order.
The husband and wife will meet again in court on February 8th.

Avatar has finally sunk
Titantic, passing the $1.292 billion mark this weekend in its overseas' haul to take the title as the top grossing film of all time.
Titanic held the record for the past 13 years, with an international box office record of $1.242 billion (or roughly $50 million less than
Avatar's current cume.)
Titanic still holds the domestic title -- for now -- with $600.8 million to Avatar's current domestic gross of $551.7, but we woudn't be too surprised if it surpasses that in the next week as well.

If you want your fix of bikini-clad supermodels, St. Barth is definitely the place to be!
We already caught Miranda Kerr
flaunting her goodies on the beach, and here we have super hot mama Alessandra Ambrosio frolicking in the surf for the cameras. It's hard to believe she gave birth a year and a half ago...so jeal!
Such a rough life!

Kristen Stewart, mega-star of the
Twilight series, was so distraught over the idea that she couldn't be in Los Angeles to participate in the
Hope For Haiti telethon, that she decided to donate around $4,000 of someone else's money to the cause.
E! reports that KStew was en route to the Sundance Film Festival on Friday and expressed her regret to the producers of
Welcome to the Rileys, Giovanni Agnelli and Scott Bloom. Four lucky ladies had apparently already paid for the privilege to attend the film's premiere at Sundance (and meet their heroine).
"They paid, like, a thousand dollars a piece for tickets," says Agnelli.
"Kristen on the plane here said [she was upset] she could not be doing the telethon…So we decided to use all that money to benefit Haiti," added Bloom.
Wow, a whole $4,000 of someone else's money going to the cause? Not that $4,000 is anything to sneeze at, but it's just pocket change for a woman who is reportedly set to earn an
eight figure payday for Twilight's final films!

Yesterday Kanye West and his lady love Amber Rose stepped out for the Chanel fashion show in Paris, and Amber wore yet another eye catching ensemble. But rather than hitting the event covered in a dress constructed of
butt floss, Amber covered up her curves in gold knit wetsuit. Is it just me, or does the former pole dancer look like some sort of sexy metallic Tellytubby?
Maybe Kanye's a plushie?
