Steven Spielberg to Willa Holland: Say Cheese!

Gossip Girl starlet Taylor Momsen and guest star Willa Holland (The O.C.) film scenes for their hit CW show in downtown Manhattan on Friday.

Willa recently told Variety a little bit about her past: “I was playing over at Steven Spielberg’s house (next door to stepfather and director Brian De Palma’s place in the Hamptons) and he was filming little wedding scenes and doing home videos.”

Spielberg told Willa’s parents, “You’ve got to put her in front of a camera!”

Also pictured: Ed Westwick and Penn Badgley filming at New York City’s Palace Hotel.

10+ pictures inside of Steven Spielberg-discovered Willa Holland…

Taylor has an ugly face. Seriously, how can anyone find this young tart pretty? She wears a ton of makeup and it still does not distract from her pedestrian face.

Willa is pretty, but forgettable.

Well how convenient that her father is a director and she is a neighbor to Steven Spielberg. It seems Hollywood (for the most part) is all about who you know!

LOVE TAYLOR MOMSEN, she’s one of my fave actresses and only one month older than me…but people say she’s dating Chace Crawford…isnt that illegal? anywho i think that especially for the preview of the newest episode, episode 7 season two, the new haircut is good, nice and edgy…i wish i had the4 nerve to do something like that…
