Taylor Momsen's near-fatal sore throat
was the result of the flu and working too hard according to Momsen's
Gossip Girl co-star
Kelly Rutherford. "You know, all it takes is to get a flu, and then you work a lot of hours, and you have [a serious] flu," explained Dr. Rutherford. So that's going to be the company line then...Taylor works too hard and she's prone to the flu. Not "she's a 14-year-old anorexic cokehead," which we know is the truth. Whatever they say.
