Momsen: 'My music is like my diaries'

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has suggested that her music is so personal, it is similar to listening to her diaries.

The actress, who plays Jenny Humphrey in the CW show, and her rock band The Pretty Reckless recently landed a record deal with Interscope, while their first LP is expected later this year.

Speaking to MTV News, she said: "It's definitely not what people are going to expect. You're gonna get a little bit shell-shocked.

"I write it all. You're hearing my life, so you're hearing my diaries...I love rock and roll, man. It feeds my soul. It’s what fits me and it’s how I can express myself."

Momsen is not the only Gossip Girl star embarking on a music career - Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) recently signed a major record deal, Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) fronts a rock band called The Filthy Youth and Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald) will star in musical Footloose.

"Everyone does their thing," she said. "I haven’t heard a ton of it, so I’ve heard only what you guys have heard online. It’s great."
