Are Taylor Momsen’s Gossip Girl days over?

The increasingly controversial 17-year-old actress will begin an “indefinite hiatus” from Gossip Girl following next Monday’s episode, sources tell Deadline. Reps for the CW and Warner Brothers declined to comment.

Momsen has played Jenny Humphrey, kid sister to Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) since the CW soap debuted in 2007. Although a series regular, she has only appeared in three episodes so far in the current fourth season.

“She only does [the show] for the money,” a source explains to UsMagazine.com “She works hard on Gossip Girl but doesn’t care about the plot or the other cast members. She treats it like a 9-5. No emotional investment.”

Momsen, who also fronts the rock band Pretty Reckless, has grown up since her big-screen debut at age 7 as cute Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas – raising eyebrows with her skimpy, intensely Gothic wardrobe, notoriously foul-mouthed interviews and angry, age-inappropriate antics.

The new Us Weekly even reports that, for her Oct. 21 Pretty Reckless concert at NYC’s Don Hill’s (in which she flashed her breasts to the crowd) Momsen had a startling request: “Her rider included a full bar in her dressing room,” an insider told Us. “That was rejected — she’s underage!”

Capri Anderson was mum as she returned to her NYC hotel after filing a criminal complaint against Charlie Sheen Monday afternoon.

As TMZ first reported, Capri met with the NYPD today and claimed Charlie choked her at The Plaza Hotel during their crazy night.

TMZ reports Capri met for several hours with detectives and most of the interview centered on the events in the hotel room.

Apparently cops did not ask Capri about the missing watch. Charlie continues to believe she stole it from him.

So sad! I just saw the news!

Kat Von D is mourning the loss of her cat Valentine — along with more or less all of her earthly possessions — in the wake of a devastating house fire.

“My house burned down last night with my cat inside,” she tweeted yesterday, along with a photo of both the destruction wrought by the blaze, and a picture of her beloved hairless cat.

“In order to gain everything, you must lose everything…R.I.P. My little Valentine.” (Cat pictured below)

The tragedy struck in the middle of the “L.A. Ink” star’s signing tour for her new book, “The Tattoo Chronicles.” She will soldier on nonetheless.

“No, I’m not canceling the rest of the booktour,” she tweeted today. “Rooftop n I are here in Vancouver. Thank you all for comforting words.. Means so much. 3

“Btw. I am so looking forward to meeting all your smiling faces at these booksignings! Remember, POSITIVE ENERGY FEEDS POSITIVE ENERGY.”

Just looks pregnant, that’s all.

“She is not pregnant,” a source close to the 30-year-old told E! News.

But it’s no secret that she wants to be.

Just last week, a Simpson insider told E! News that Jess is itching to graduate from her auntie duties.

“She wants to have a baby,” the source said. “Like, really, really wants a baby. She’s been giddy with her friends and that’s the extent of the planning, but she’s thinking baby.”

Consider her on bump watch, then. Not that she’s ever off it, really.
