ICONS: Who's Up Next?

Every generation has its icons. Madonna led the 80s' dance and fashion revolution. Jay-Z and Kanye's creativity changed the rap game in the new millennium. Halle Berry and Denzel Washington paved the way for African-American actors in the late 90s. And in the late 90s, the return of the boy bands and teen divas gave light to then teen sensations Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. So we have to wonder who from today's batch of talent will be the next Madonna? The next Kanye? The next Jay-Z? We did our homework and here's our list of 'The Next...' From rock and pop stars to Academy Award winnings actors, check out the next class of young stars who will lead the next generation.

Taylor Momsen, 17

Gossip Girl bad girl Taylor Momsen has taken her wild onscreen image off set as the hard rocker, lead singer of The Pretty Reckless. Taylor's style and live show reminds us of Courtney Love circa the mid 1990s when Court was fronting her band Hole. Although Courtney's personal life is more similiar to that of Taylor's Gossip Girl character Jenny Humphrey, both women know how to cause a scene and keep an audience entertained.
