"   Tuesday night, I checked out Taylor Momsen&amp;#039;s 16th birthday party, where the Gossip Girl star took the Hiro Ballroom stage with her punky rock band, The Pretty Reckless. It&amp;#039;s no surprise that Courtney Love comparisons have been made \u2013 Momsen wore a pink slip dress and rings of black eyeliner as she raspily belted songs with lyrics like, &amp;quot;To all of those who wronged me, I am a Zombie.&amp;quot; In the crowd, teens huddled in the glow of their smartphones, probably Twittering about the celebs in our midst. Full disclosure: It&amp;#039;s nearly impossible for me to separate Gossip Girl&amp;#039;s characters from the actors who play them, so all I could think while oogling Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, Connor Paolo, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Matthew Settle, was, Why does Chuck have a pack of cigarettes rolled up into the sleeve of his D&amp;amp;amp;G T-shirt? Why is Vanessa putting her hand in his back pocket? (The pair are supposedly dating off set.) Eric is with a girl? Where&amp;#039;s Blair to harass Georgina? And why does Rufus look exactly the same on and off the show? Sadly, no Nelly Yuki sightings to report.  \u2014Julie Vadnal, Editorial Assistant Photo: Mick Rock "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
