Blind Item #8 - Mourning In Her Own Way - A Web Installment

Lost in all of The Web stories and information that keeps coming out, is this little nugget. You have a former A-/B+ list mostly television actress who acted from the time she was a toddler until she got fired from a hit show. Why was she fired? Repeated heroin relapses and a definite f**k you attitude about anything to the producers and her fellow castmates on the show. She goes on to do what she has always wanted to do and that is make music. She fronts a band which is never going to have any hits but can sustain itself through live shows, especially those overseas where she is very popular. She is more popular overseas for her celebrity rather than her music, but hey, it sells tickets.

So, she and our now deceased rocker meet. This is at the same time he is married and also hooking up with randoms including that shady escort. He starts hooking up with this singer/actress who has not really gone cold turkey with drugs. Did she share? No one knows yet. It is really doubtful that she did not use in front of him considering they spent quite a bit of time together when her band opened for him and that they were hooking up more nights than not. Was she sent by someone to see if she could seduce him? Seduce him with herself or with drugs? She does seem to miss him and has changed lyrics of a song to refer to him. Interesting little twist/nugget to the whole thing going on.

  2. I thought Juliette Lewis immediately too.

  3. Pretty Reckless (Momsens band) was the opener for the last Soundgarden tour, I stand corrected. Makes much more sense than Juliette.

  4. I think Taylor Momsen too.

  5. Typical lazy posting you expect here. Pretty Reckless has had four #1 singles on the US Main Rock charts

  6. +1 Momsen/Cornell. Saw The Pretty Reckless back in 2015. Pretty good live.

  7. Ok, I posted and it disappeared again, while it said it was saved.Yes , Cornell and Momsen, like @lurky said, her band is very successful,and they aren't bad.Disappointed that you went with this direction, I thought there may be a story with the child abuse scandal that she was rumored to be a victim of.It is more believable than this. Her history of very young drug abuse and her precocious sexual behavior makes me think she would think of him as someone to trust,but of course ,stuff happens.

  8. Of course it's Momsen!

  9. I thought Momsen as well, but The Pretty Reckless has had hit songs, and I actually like their music. They have played at my local Metal festival several times, the last being, last April, which was when I saw Soundgarden on 4/29. She had a great show as usual. BUT she is often high.
    She is the only one that fits, with the Gossip Girl years, But again, The Pretty Reckless has had hits, and is popular in the states in the metal festival circuits at least.

  10. Anyone else remember that old blind about her getting tag-teamed in a hotel room while her mom was next door?

  11. Not many performers who probably aren't high or drunk and plenty that freely admit their use, like Rob Zombie.

  12. Yes Pretty Reckless is near the top as far as current rock bands go right now. They headline mid sized arenas and smaller clubs and play big arenas on the undercards.

  13. I like Momsen over Juliette Lewis.. as she'd be more movie than TV.

  14. Are we to connect the dots that SHE gave him the drugs, leading to his death?

    1. ???? Hell no.the bodyguard broke his ribs while they fought & he then hung CC while he was unconciuos, therefore leading to his deasth. But Kirsten did give CC his ativan & I'm sure he drugged his Gatorade to while Chris was on stage.

  15. "She is more popular overseas for her celebrity rather than her music" Taylor Momsen???

    ReplyDelete
  16. Definitely Momsen, also uses his lyrics as hashtags in a few of her tweets months after his death. Although I agree Pretty Reckless has had hits on rock charts but he might mean mainstream ??

  17. Even *I* knew this one, guys. It's Taylor Momsen...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Not liking the tone of this. The Pretty Reckless are a successful band. Taylor Momson has always given off a vibe of being a very damaged girl. If anything I would imagine Chris Cornell would have looked out for her.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Clearly it's supposed to be momsen. So the big question is- if someone put her up to hooking up w CC and tempting him w H- who???

    1. John the Savage, while the tox report came back negative for any major drugs, the implication was someone was messing w his dose. I think maybe taylor could have been used as a pawn though- as in hooking up w him and Vicky finding out he was mentally checked out of his marriage and planning to leave.. and, FYI, her band opened for them this last tour and played their last show in Detroit :(

  27. Chris and Vicky were already acrimoniously separated before his final tour. They were not a couple. They were devising divorce strategies since he found out just what she'd been doing with his charitable foundation.

    1. Exactly! And she made it so she could bring down Chris as well if he went public with the info.

  29. I was at BFD in Dallas this past year and was unimpressed with their performance UNTIL they covered Like A Stone. She completely changed my mind about her. You could hear and feel the raw emotion she put into it. Gave me goosebumps and made me cry.

  31. The chick is Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless. The Pretty Reckless, otherwise known as "Who the Hell gave the groupie a live mic?"

    & charting on modern rock charts doesn't mean $#!+ at the moment. We are in an era of crap music. It's the 80s all over again.
