Taylor Momsen burned her dogs balls after he was neutered

She's pretty hot. Possibly just one of those rumors planted to create a stir, but seems credible: http://gawker.com/5632760/taylor-momsen ... re-to-them

Has Gossip Girl star and tween rocker Taylor Momsen crossed the line from "teen angst" to "budding serial killer"? Ben Phillips, a guitarist in her band, says she's a pervy pyro: "Taylor loves fire. I shouldn't say this. One morning, Taylor got into the studio really early—she'd just had her dog neutered and brought in the bits. Which she then burned. We were grossed out." I've long wondered how the adults who get paid to play back-up for Taylor deal with the humiliation. Answer: With their tongues in their cheeks. "Taylor loves setting things on fire, so this is great. Taylor thinks we're some rock 'n' roll badasses," said Phillips. [MTV, image via Pacific Coast News]

Not to throw cold water on your hot story, but I say this story is B.S. Think this through.

First, "she'd just got her dog neutered and brought in the bits..." Oh yes, of course, most dogs get neutered IN THE VET'S OFFICE, it is NOT like horses where the vet ususally comes to the horse. It is I suppose possible that the vet would let her have the "bits," (an aside here, why the f*** can't people say "testicles" when they mean testicles?) but I really doubt that happened.

Second, I have not been in many recording studios, but I just don't believe they keep some little "hibatchi" grill in the studio for psycho pyro's to burn dog testicles on the grill. The smoke, and the stink of burning animal tissue, no, no, no, I have to call bullshit on this.

Finally, if she had two dog testicles, and she set out to burn them.... GIVE ME A F***ING BREAK! It takes some time to incinerate body parts, believe me I know from experience. It is not like burning paper or dry wood, she would need a pyre, a pile of sticks or some other combustable material, and that too is probably not typically kept at your average recording studio.

This story would be a lot more believable IF.... the "vet" were to corroborate the story, confirm that they did in fact violate normal protocol and give the "bits" to the dog's owner, IF the "burning" were to have happened somewhere like the backyard of someone's home, and IF the person telling the story did not use the word "bits" for testicles.

Actually, lots of people ask to keep the removed dogs testicles and vets do let people keep them. For example actress Drea De Mateo is known to have kept her Great Dane's testicles and displays them in a jar (http://www.contactmusic.com/news-articl ... s-in-a-jar) and here's a forum posting from someone who says their vet spouse gets a lot of requests to keep them: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/arc ... 54865.html

Sure all these are internet anecdotes so who knows but I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were vets that let them do that. In fact, I used to think that doctors wouldn't let you keep your own organs that were removed, but apparently a lot of people do get to do that (keep their tonsils, gall bladder, etc.)

Regarding the fire pit, it wasn't a hibachi it was described as: "In the studio, there was this pit where the owner would burn stuff. We'd burn old keyboards, computers, stuff them full of TNT and set them on fire. Taylor loves fire." Also, when they say "in the studio" that doesn't have to mean in the recording area itself. And then if it was actually a place where they just like to incinerate and burn stuff it is believable that she could burn testicles there. Lastly, "burn" can mean anything -- like singe them a bit, or whatever.

You have to remember you're talking about alternative bored youths and I have no problem believing that they would do something like that and otherwise not be "professional".
