Momsen: 'I wrote Montag track aged 9'

Taylor Momsen has seemingly mocked the music career of The Hills star Heidi Montag.

Speaking to Sugar, the Gossip Girl actress confirmed that she co-wrote Montag's 2009 single 'Blackout' when she was only 9 years old.

Asked for her opinion on reality TV stars who move into music, Momsen said: "When I was 9 I wrote a song called 'Blackout'. And I think that Heidi Montag just sang a song that a 9-year-old wrote. So that's what I think about that."

When quizzed on her self-proclaimed status as a rock musician, she explained: "That was never a choice for me. It wasn't 'should I go pop or should I go rock?' I'm a rock chick living in a pop world.

"Rock says. 'F**k' you' and pop says, 'I like to dress'. I wouldn't wanna put out a pop record. It's pointless and it's not my style."

Regarding comparisons between her and fellow teenage star Miley Cyrus, Momsen added: "I listen to Oasis and The Beatles, so I don't know what Miley Cyrus is singing about.

"But apparently we're the same age so people thing we're the same or something? Oh and apparently I'm a worse role model than her. Well, I probably am!"

Asked about her 'angsty' reputation, she said: "Of course it's justified! I'm as angsty as s**t. I'm a teenage girl in a rock band - what do you expect?

"But it's not like I'm mean, I just don't give a f**k what people think. I don't think I'm different from other teens, it's just people talk about me more."
