Taylor Momsen is not a role model. This is not an observation; this is a quote from the young lady herself. Buzzworthy sat down with Momsen along with Ben Phillips, her bandmate from The Pretty Reckless, and had a candid conversation on her music, her fame and her responsibility (or lack thereof) to her fans.

Momsen claims that music is, “the thing that’s kept me sane.” And based on this interview, you can tell she’s not kidding. When asked whether she thinks of herself as a role model, Momsen candidly responds, “I don’t want to be a f****in role model. I have no intention to be a role model. In fact, I would advise kids not to look up to me. I’m totally out of my mind.”

Despite the upfront nature of that proclamation, it comes with a somewhat warmhearted caveat: “The only message that I really preach is find who you are and be yourself.”

But that’s just the tip of the interview iceberg. Momsen goes on to talk about the origins of The Pretty Reckless, the “unrock/rock” vibe of the Chelsea Hotel (where the band shot their album artwork) and the relationship between her music career and her acting gig on “Gossip Girl.”

Check out the refreshingly honest and forthright interview below. The Pretty Reckless’ debut album, Light Me Up, is due out August 31.

No longer a single lady, pop-country belle Carrie Underwood showed off her newly acquired wedding band while performing on “The Today Show,” this morning.

Underwood wed professional hockey player Mike Fisher on July 10. Not exactly a “Cowboy Cassanova,” right? More of a Canadian Mountie. That said, Carrie looked pretty happy to be Mrs. Fisher as she performed her new single, “Undo It,” for the crowd.

Fisher and Underwood honeymooned in Bora Bora and Napa Valley. If I was Kanye West’s Twitter account, I’d probably say something like, “Damn, girl! Two honeymoons!? How big was your jet!?” But I’m not, so I’ll just say congratulations, Carrie and Mike!

Below, enjoy a video that is no longer applicable to Carrie Underwood.

I doubt 50 Cent was asking Chace Crawford for spoilers from the upcoming season of “Gossip Girl,” nor is it likely that Crawford was pumping 50 for behind-the-scenes tales about the recording of Get Rich Or Die Trying.

Though both of those scenarios are providing us with no end of amusement, the two were together to celebrate their new film, “Twelve,” which held its premiere party last night. In the Joel Schumacher-directed film, Crawford takes the role usually reserved for 50, playing a drug dealer. 50, on the other hand … well he plays a drug dealer, too. So much for range.

Anyway, the premiere was last night and MTV’s cameras were there to catch all the commotion, of which there was a fair amount. President Barack Obama’s visit to NYC caused many of the film’s stars to be tardy for the party.

Check out the video below. “Twelve” hits theaters on August 6.

The discourse surrounding beverages has always been a constant in hip-hop and R&B. 20 years ago, Snoop and Dre turned the 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor into a rap accessory.

But as the years have gone on and on, hip-hop and R&B have turned their backs on the bargain basement beverages and moved into more refined tastes, espousing the joys of Pino Grigio and rose wine. Which brings us to two of hip-hop and R&B’s biggest names blowing up the cocktail of choice for aristocrats suffering from chest colds. Yup, it’s Usher, Jay-Z and Ester Dean’s “Hot Toddy,” from Usher’s forthcoming EP, Versus. New Usher EP? Yup, after the success of “OMG” and “Hey Daddy,” he’s striking while the proverbial iron is still proverbially hot. And with “Hot Toddy,” he comes out of the gate strong.

Despite being named after a cocktail of whiskey, hot water and lemon, this track is pretty slick. With a slithering beat courtesy of Polow da Don, Usher spits game at a girl, while Jay-Z spits game to the mirror, mirror on the wall, all while Ester Dean wails in the background.

Check the song out below, along with Usher’s “Hey Daddy” video. Drink it up, folks.
