Little J: Headed for better days?

You know you're about to get a quality blog post from me when it opens with "Perez Hilton reports..." That's how you know something is a worthwhile piece of news.

sarcasm aside for a moment, today it was *CONFIRMED* that Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) will NOT be re-joining the cast of Gossip Girl in the fall season, at least for the majority of the season (!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?) for both "creative reasons" *and* because of "something big that happens in this season's finale."

"Something big."

That makes me really antsy.

Anyone who ever reads my GG recaps knows Little J is not exactly my favorite character, especially lately with the whole desperate "Haaaayyy Naaattteeee, I'm VULNERABLE" ploy she's been concocting. She's been through approximately eleventy bajillion (scientific estimate) different incarnations of crazy. They try to sell her as the show's "everygirl," the little cutie from Brooklyn with a bit of an edge ("edge" is a relative term indicating that she sometimes wears really thick black eyeliner, spiked heels and what I've come to call the "Jenny Grimace"). But we all know she's not your normal teenager with mood swings and bratty tantrums (though she's got those, too). I mean, hello, she was DETERMINED to get emancipated from her parents so she could start up her business with a psychotic alcy 15-year-old model Agnes; she got involved with a foreign druglord played by an alum of straight-to-video movies about particularly athletic golden retrievers; and she...is generally crazy, despite the fact that she occasionally reverts back to Average Cute Little Teenager mode, usually when waffles at the end of a tough day are somehow involved. (Waffles=Sudden recurring character on Gossip Girl; the equivalent of bagels on The O.C.. Except lamer because Rufus usually makes them and not Sandy).

Jenny's spiraling out of control. What will the end of the season bring? Death a la Marissa Cooper (whose car accident I NEVER forgave the writers for and still to this day deny...I pretend The O.C. ended with the first episode of season 3)...and all the stuff in the series finale besides Taylor being there, ugh.
JAIL?!?! Boarding school or rehab, perhaps?? There are a ton of possibilities. However, I hope they don't just kill her off. Because that would just be stupid. And a creative copout. Despite the fact that she can be incredibly annoying and psychotic, I can't imagine the Humphreys without her. (Imagining Dan and Rufus hanging out in the loft by themselves all the time (because Lily would be occupied with social-climbing and philanthropic activities) is just pathetic).

What do you think will happen?!?!?! What do you hope will happen?!!

^Jenny during one of her non-psycho phases, though she still completely wrecked the VDW's in this episode, if I remember correctly... and yes, I do remember correctly. I always remember Gossip Girl correctly.

By the way, turns out, not only is Jenny lame, but Taylor Momsen, the actual person behind the character, is too. Last month she told one of those Us Weekly-like publications that "Um, I'm not so much thinking about Haiti right now." In a Victoria's Secret store when they ran into her. Cool Taylor.
