Gossip Girl

On Gossip Girl, 14-year-old actress Taylor Momsen portrays young Jenny Humphrey. The character grew up in a loft in Brooklyn making her own clothes, being anything but rich. All of last year Jenny tried to break into the world of socialites and fashion, only to give up after squaring off with the always on top and wealthy Blair Waldorf.

Taylor Momsen isn't going to go down as easy s her character. The actress has just signed a modeling contract with IMG Models, one of the leading agencies in the business. Seems like even if her alter-ego Jenny is resigned to her low rent fate, Taylor Momsen is ready to take the world of high fashion by storm.

IMG Models is known for its many high profile and famous clients. They represent such well known and beautiful A-list celebrities as Drew Barrymore, Heidi Klum, Liv Tyler, Selma Blair and Julianne Moore. Taylor Momsen will be joining other young TV stars such as Mischa Barton and Hilary Duff now that IMG is representing her.

Recently it was rumored that Taylor Momsen's Jenny character on Gossip Girl might be getting her own spin-off TV series set in an all girl boarding school. Though those rumors were roundly squashed by Gossip Girl producer Josh Schwartz, with Taylor Momsen's new high profile modeling gig guaranteeing more face time in various forms of media, perhaps that idea may come back into play within the next few years.

As seen on a memorable episode of Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen once got into a tiff over a modeling gig arranged by Blair's mother. As of this writing, there's no word on what Blair (Leighton Meester) and Serena (Blake Lively) think of little Jenny Humphrey's new gig. Surely the characters would be completely scandalized that someone from the lower class is on the up and up – though the actresses that portray the characters may be much more congratulatory to their fresh-faced young co-star.
