Celebrity Pay Dirt
Spotted: Gossip Girl's Record Contract

Posted Sep 20th 2009 8:00AM by TMZ Staff

Taylor MomsenLittle J has to pay big bucks to her record company if she takes on any acting gigs with "musical elements" -- but there's a catch...

We just got our hands on Taylor Momsen's record contract with Interscope Records -- dated March 17, 2009 -- which states if she takes a role as a musician or band member -- she has to fork over 10% of her paycheck for that gig to her musical overlords.

Now to the catch -- Momsen included a clause in the contract which allows her to sing her little heart out for free on two projects ... "Gossip Girl" and an upcoming "Runaways Project."

The only Runaways project we've heard of is the Joan Jett bio-pic staring Kristin Stewart -- and as far as we know, Taylor isn't part of the cast.

So, either we just blew a huge Hollywood secret ... or the 16-year-old got a serious taste of bigtime movieland rejection.

8. Actually I don't think so. She couldn't do this movie even if she wanted to because of her contract with Gossip Girl. They're filming conflict with each other and probably in other ways too. GG is also a huge reason why her album is not out yet. She can't do both at the moment.

15. She tried out for the role but lost to Dakota Fanning. I actually like her voice, it's differant but girl needs a serious makeover.
