Two nights ago, "Gossip Girl" star Taylor Momsen celebrated her sixteenth birthday with a party in New York City that featured a performance by her band the Pretty Reckless. While Momsen's band draws on a lot of different influences, it's clear that their look and sound draw a lot from Courtney Love and her band Hole (one listen to the Pretty Reckless makes it fairly clear that Momsen has listened to Celebrity Skin on repeat).
Though imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery, Love apparently doesn't appreciate the homage. She took to Twitter to cut down Momsen (along with the Veronicas), saying "Why does Taylor Whatsit deeply disturb me and why is the Blonde one from the verons or whatever they are called wearing my actual clothes?" She also told Momsen, "I don't watch tv or read teen mags and gossip rags so I wouldn't know. Do not still 'like my music' please."
Courtney has a history of feuding with people, so she's no stranger to public beef. She normally keeps it a war of words, but what if the two of them actually threw down? We hit the street to sample the folks waiting to get into today's episode of "It's On with Alexa Chung" and asked them which would put the other one to sleep in a cage fight.
The laughably unscientific results show that more than three quarters — 77 percent, to be exact — of the respondents would place the odds on Courtney to knock out Momsen. It's pretty obvious, really: She's got the obvious size and experience advantage, and as several of those polled said, "Courtney is a badass."
