Taylor Lautner hit the Today Show yesterday on the last leg of the promotional tour for New Moon.  In the interview he talks about being shirtless in the rain, Taylor Swift and what he plans on doing with his life. It’s so weird to think that he is only 17 years old. He is already so mature and he has already achieved so much success. I know that Taylor has the talent that will get him far. I know for a fact that there was no one else that could fill the role of Jacob Black other than Taylor.

It’s finally out the Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner Entertainment Weekly feature. I really love that EW is really into them because I have pretty much saved every issue with them on the cover.

I have read most of the article and on one of the last pages I thought this was really neat. They asked the three of them who their Hollywood Heroes were. Here are their picks and their answers why.

Robert picked Ryan Gosling as his Hollywood Hero. “He chooses things that are so right for him. He has handled his career perfectly. He seems like a nice guy, so people don’t give any hassle, which seems completely reasonable.”

Kristen picked Catherine Keener as her Hollywood Hero. “She does what she wants, man. She’s amazing. She doesn’t have to deal with preconceived notions of her and expectations. People just take her work at face value. She’s great.”

Taylor picked Matt Damon as his Hollywood Hero. “The Bourne series! But I would want to do different things too. Ryan Reynolds or Gerard Butler –they’ll do the coolest action movie and then they’ll do a romantic comedy.”

Some of the beautiful outtakes from the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly have come out. I have to say that Kristen Stewart looks beautiful in these pictures.  Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner look good too. Here are some of the quotes included with the pictures.

Robert on vacation: ”I’ve been working since January 14th. I’ve had three days off.” [winces] ”I know I’m making it sound like I’m complaining.”

Taylor on his portrayal of Jacob: ”It was a lot of hard work,” he said of the 32 lbs. of muscle he packed on before the sequel. ”But mentally and emotionally as well. Jacob doesn’t just change physically.”

Robert on his media presence: ”The only reason you need a publicist is if you want to be constantly in the media — I would prefer never to be in it.”

Kristen on the fans: ”I feel like all the exchanges I’ve had with the fans have been so awesome. It makes me forget about the people who look at everything they’re given in the media and take it at face value and decide what their opinion is about me without knowing me.”

Today has become one of those every post is about Twilight days. I am not stopping now. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. The issue is dated November 20th…the exact same day New Moon comes out. That couldn’t have been a coincidence.

And the choice quote in the article?

”Jacob and Bella are so open, and they can tell each other everything. So it was very important for me and Kristen to grow very close before doing this.”

I can’t wait to see this issue. That’s if my mailman doesn’t decide to put a crease through the middle of it like he does every issue.

Taylor Lautner is the cover boy for the December 2009 issue of Men’s Health. Fan girls everywhere are crying that he has all his clothes on. We all know that to illustrate how in shape Taylor is he should have been shirtless, I am sure it would have been a best seller then. I guess it’s worth to note that Taylor is the magazine’s youngest cover star ever. I am glad that he is able to bring back the sexy for the young ones. (That was so wrong it was right.)

Taylor says to the magazine that his transformation is not through. He is making sure that he doesn’t lose weight because Jacob steadily gets bigger through the movie.

“My character continues to grow, so I’d like to pack on at least a few more lean pounds. I was exercising so hard that I began to lose weight.”

I am sure that is fine with everyone. Really I do.

“It gets confusing definitely. And it’s weird calling somebody your name.” -Taylor Lautner talking about Taylor Swift’s name. And as Taylor Blue I can relate!

“I’ve thought about this a lot. There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: ‘Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.’  I’m just trying to keep something. If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor [Lautner] , I’d be like ‘F— off!’ I would answer the exact same way.” -Kristen Stewart in a new interview from EW responding to whether Robert Pattinson and her are dating.

Taylor Lautner was spotted shopping on Rodeo Drive yesterday in Los Angeles. He is probably enjoying some time off before he has to start making his rounds promoting New Moon.

Taylor recently revealed that he won’t be taking his shirt off for another role anytime soon. (You heard that noise right? The sound of ladies hearts breaking all over the world.)

“I worked hard to get in shape for this role. My motivation was the movie and the fans, but I don’t want to become known as just a body. If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that’s not very realistic. I certainly won’t be asking to do it, though.”

And even though we like to look at the shirtless pictures of him, Taylor says it makes him feel uncomfortable.

“It’s so uncomfortable knowing that so many people are seeing pictures of me shirtless. It’s weird. It’s kind of embarrassing.”

I always thought Taylor was one of the cooler ones about it along with Kellan Lutz. I am sure it will only get worse when everyone goes to see the movie and faints in the theater because he’s shirtless. I can see it now.

I am realizing before New Moon comes out that the werewolves might be just as hot as the vampires. (Okay only Alex Meraz and Taylor Lautner are the cute ones.) Finally Alex is getting the love he deserves. He did an interview with Vanity Fair where they discussed all things Twilight. Here are the highlights of the interview.

On if he had seen Twilight: No, I hadn’t, but after I got the role, I bought a bootlegged version and watched it while I was on set.

On his favorite scene to shoot: The cliff diving scene was the most fun because the whole Wolf Pack was there and we were jumping off these 50-foot scaffolding things onto an air mattress. It was pretty exciting to be able to do our own stunts.

On if he had a stunt double: No! They were pushing for it, we were pushing against; we wanted to do our own stuff. We had to train for a good two days, eight hours each day just practicing jumping, making sure we were landing safely. On the day [of shooting], we were actually jumping from a green screen cliff but it was actually taller and a little bit more dangerous because there was foliage and grass on top of it—it was a little slippery. We were fine, and it was really fun.

On what they did on their downtime: We showed each other exercises. Taylor would show some of his workout, I would show some of mine. We’d practice martial arts tricks … just goof off! We had a great time. That’s part of what our characters were like anyway. We’re supposed to be frisky, friendly—like brothers. I think everyone on set was affected by it because they were always looking forward to the days when the Wolf Pack would film … everyone was really excited. They knew we were going to bring a different kind of energy.

On his thousands of Twitter followers: I know! It’s only been like a week and a half since I got my Twitter [account]! It’s pretty cool. For the first week, no one believed it was me, so I had to put a picture of me holding my name. It looked like a mug shot! It was pretty ridiculous, but it’s really cool knowing you have really enthusiastic fans that want to hear about what you do on a day-to-day basis.

Taylor Lautner proves that he can make anyone swoon over him in these outtakes from GQ. I love how Taylor has stayed grounded through this whole thing. He said recently that he’s the same guy he was before this all happened…

“It’s a job. I definitely can’t feel it, I feel like the same person. I don’t walk outside my house and have 65,000 screaming fans waiting but it’s really insane because it is almost like living two lives.”

I know how he feels. I feel like I have two different lives too. I’ve told many friends about that too. I’m sure after New Moon he will be more than the bomb again.
