Has already been released
October 22nd, 2008

US Weekly is reporting that Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has just been released from Cedars-Sinai Hospital here in LA after being hospitalized for the past few days due to a “severe, potentially life threatening” bout with a throat infection. I am happy to report that Little J is now doing A-OK. Here are pics of the lass on the NYC set of GG earlier this month:


Taylor Momsen was released Wednesday afternoon from L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after battling a “severe, potentially life-threatening throat infection. “I have been treating Miss Taylor Momsen for the last few days,” Momsen’s doctor, Shawn Nasseri, tells Usmagazine.com. “She has been hospitalized for a severe, potentially life-threatening throat infection since Sunday. “She has been an excellent patient, and after aggressive antibiotics and medications, she is expected to make a full recovery in the next three to five days,” the doctor adds. Momsen, 15, was in L.A. to take a school exam when she “woke up with a sore throat,” a source close to the actress tells Us. “She thought it was just a common cold, but was advised to see an ear, nose & throat specialist before getting on a plane back to New York,” the source adds. After discovering how serious the situation was, “her mom flew out to get her, and is flying back [to NYC] with Taylor this week. “She’s in unbelievable spirits” despite the diagnosis, the source says.

Aww … sorry to hear that Tay Tay is feelin’ under the weather but I’m happy that her life is no longer “threatened” by her ailment. A few years ago I suffered a heinous bout of strep throat and, let me tell you, there were days when I prayed for death. I can totally sympathize with a painful ailment like a throat infection so I’m glad to know that Momsencita is on the upswing. Get better soon, Taylor … we need your cute as a buttonness back on GG soon!

    I had a terrible strep throat infection when I was 19, the infection spread to the pericardial sacc around my heart and caused inflammation (myopericarditis) which put my in hospital and I actually arrested at one point and had to be shocked with the paddles!

    Least favourite character on the show, least favourite actress on the show. Jenny is so annoying. Maybe this will be written in and she can either shut up or disappear for a little while.

    Ooh, that really sucks! I’m glad she’s doing better…However, I HATE her haircut. It’s way too mature for her.
