It was a dark and stormy night for Taylor Momsen and her band, The Pretty Reckless, whose video shoot for their debut single “Make Me Wanna Die” took them from the comfy indoors to a soaking Brooklyn cemetery last month.
“Our shoot day was plagued by a horrible rain storm, but we still managed to venture out into the cold, wet night to film,” the 16-year-old Gossip Girl star – and the band’s lead singer – tells People of the Meier Avis-directed video for the song, which appears on the Kick-Ass movie soundtrack.
The Pretty Reckless will take the stage at the Bamboozle Music Festival on May 1 before joining the Vans Warped Tour this summer.

I laughed all the way through, in fact. This is the best comedy since “The Hangover,” and although it’s almost a scene-by-scene remake of a 2007 British movie with the same title, it’s funnier than the original. – Roger Ebert
The resurrected Death at a Funeral is directed by Neil LaBute. And — the joke’s on us! — the dark-as-pitch playwright and filmmaker (In the Company of Men) turns out to have a playful hand when it comes to choreographing Three Stooges’-style nyuk-nyuks. As British as the original was (actors such as Matthew MacFadyen, Rupert Graves, and Alan Tudyk disappeared into character in a pip-pip display of national theatrical technique), this one could only come from our side of the pond. Personality driven, the movie takes proud advantage of a happy, casually crude, Crock-Pot American-ness. Reveling in mess and homegrown multiracial mayhem, Death at a Funeral finds a new lease on life. B+ – EW
