Taylor Momsen Vegges Out to Stay Healthy

After she was felled by the flu last year while working on the Gossip Girl set, Taylor Momsen reveals she's not taking her health lightly, and has been working to ward off any more illnesses with a good diet and exercise.

Taylor says she skips read meat, and eats lots of vegetables.

"I eat really healthy and I work out," she told reporters at last night's Whitney Museum of America Art Gala in NYC. "I dance and go to the gym a little bit here and there."

As for those rumors that she collapsed, Taylor says that's not true.

"I had the flu. I was really sick," she explains. "I didn't collapse. I was just really sick."
