Taylor Momsen had to be helped across the grass before performing an acoustic set at Virgin Media's Louder Lounger yesterday (21.08.10).

The 17-year-old singer-and-actress was struggling to walk in her huge high heels in the exclusive area of the V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex, so enlisted the help of two male friends to give her some support as she tried to negotiate the uneven surface.

An onlooker told BANG Showbiz: "At first we thought she wasn't very well as she had both her arms draped across her friends and was struggling to walk. But as soon she got into the tent with its wooden floor, she was able to walk on her own. It was quite funny to watch."

As well as 'Gossip Girl' star Taylor, other guests in Virgin Media's Louder Lounge included Drew Barrymore and on/off boyfriend Justin Long, who enjoyed a game of table tennis with one of his friends, actress Billie Piper, TV presenter Holly Willoughby and Coleen Rooney, wife of England soccer star Wayne Rooney.

Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson also made an appearance as part of his 60th birthday celebrations.
