We bring now distressing news from the set of Gossip Girl, where 15-year-old Taylor Momsen—who plays Jennie, the fashion-designing little sister eager to break free from her humble roots living in a finished loft in Brooklyn with her dad from Everclear—has survived a brush with a "potentially life-threatening" (italics, underline, and bold ours) throat infection. Her doctor wisely chose Us to offer his prognosis exclusive:

"She has been an excellent patient, and after aggressive antibiotics and medications, she is expected to make a full recovery in the next three to five days," the doctor adds. Momsen, 15, was in L.A. to take a school exam when she "woke up with a sore throat," a source close to the actress tells Us. "She thought it was just a common cold, but was advised to see an ear, nose & throat specialist before getting on a plane back to New York," the source adds.

While her condition has stabilized, we recommend anyone in the general NYC or L.A. areas with even the most minor of throat irritations to rush immediately to your nearest ER, screaming, "I THINK I CAUGHT GOSSIP GIRL EBOLA! I'M GOING TO DIE!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!" and letting the health professionals on duty take it from there.
