Boy, those TwiHard parents are spirited to say the least! Check out Taylor Lautner’s oddest fan experience in this video clip of the star’s appearance on The Jay Leno Show Monday.
The teen idol found a way to dodge mobs of screaming teenage fans while filming The Twilight Saga: New Moon — he hid in a senior citizen’s bowling alley.
“….Everybody knows we’re in the city, so we have to choose wisely where we hang out. My hangout was the senior citizen bowling alley… There’s nobody under the age of 80 there. Not one person (recognized me).”

Taylor Lautner is such a doll! Thanks to the success of the beloved Edward Cullen and Bella Swan dolls that hit shelves Nov. 1, mega toy giant Mattel is expanding its hit Twilight Barbie Collection, bringing lovelorn werewolf Jacob Black to life via a new action figure that mirrors the 17-year-old star’s portrayal of the character fairly well.
We’re still a bit on the fence as to the whole Team Edward/Team Jacob thing, but one thing we will admit – the new Taylor Lautner Barbie is way hotter than Robert Pattinson’s!
Mattel will release The Jacob Black Barbie this February, Summit Entertainment Tweeted this afternoon. The plastic is expected to retail for $24.95 — Barbie Taylor Swift sold separately :)
Taylor and Taylor bond over Taylor?
As if it wasn’t adorable enough, that country star Taylor Swift, 19, and Twilight’s Taylor Lautner, 17, are reportedly dating, word is both Taylors are huge fans of film icon Elizabeth Taylor!
GLOBE writes: “The teen lovebirds each has a collection of signed memorabilia from the 77-year-old acting legend which they purchased on eBay, and spend much of their time together watching her old movies on DVD.”

Each of the famous men in Taylor Swift’s life earned name drops in her inaugural Saturday Night Live monologue over the weekend. The country singer sang about ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas, her rumored boyfriend Taylor Lautner, and the man who ambushed her at the MTV Video Music Awards in August, rapper Kanye West, as she opened the long-running sketch comedy series on Saturday night.
“If you’re wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from ‘Twilight’ I’m not going to comment on that in my monologue,” Swift sang, before mouthing “Hi Taylor,” and blowing Lautner, 17, a kiss.
“You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye [West]. But there’s nothing more to say because everything’s okay…I’ve got security lining the stage,” the songstress teased.
And poor Joe Jonas really got an earful: “You might think I’d bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone, but I’m not gonna mention him in my monologue,” Taylor continued. “Joe, I’m doing real well—tonight I’m hosting SNL!”
A Tale of Two Taylors: Taylor Swift is talking about her Saturday Night Live hosting debut — about her rumored relationship with New Moon star Taylor Lautner.
On Thursday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, a blushing Taylor couldn’t help but giggle when asked about her alleged romance with Taylor.
Swift, 19, and Lautner, 17, have sparked whispers that they are an item after the teens were spotted at an L.A. Kings game over the weekend. In July, the Taylors locked lips for a scene in the upcoming romantic comedy Valentine’s Day.

Kristin Davis was as disturbed as the rest of us to see little Taylor Lautner showing off the abs and guns on the pages of GQ’s November issue. It’s not natural, we tell you. The Sex And The City stylista worked with Taylor in 2005’s epic box office failure The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D, she says she feels “protective” over the Twilight star and has a tough time adjusting to his new status as a Hollywood hottie.
“Oh, the youngster! He was the Sharkboy, and I played the mother of the other kid who imagined Sharkboy and Lavagirl in Robert Rodriguez’s movie, and I met him down in Texas. He was a kid,” Kristin tells MTV News about her former co-star. “He was a kid and he didn’t have those muscles, and I don’t know what happened. I see these pictures [now and] I can’t believe it.” Read the rest of this entry »
Um…when does Taylor Lautner turn 18 again? The buff young hunk packed on 30 pounds to keep his role as werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight sequel New Moon, resulting in awesome abs and perky pecs. Taylor showed off his bulked-up body in a debonair photoshoot for the November issue of GQ Magazine.
“When a man transforms into a wolf, all of his clothes get shredded. When he comes back to human form, he’s wearing ripped jeans, and that’s about it. It’s the way it was written. The great thing about this series is we stay true to the books.”

Taylor Lautner’s is still getting used to how dramatically his life has changed since he landed the role of lovesick werewolf Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga.
“There are twelve cars that camp outside my house,” the 17-year-old reveals in the Teen Vogue’s October issue. “You can’t ever really get used to it, because it’s not normal to have people snapping pictures of everything you do. You just have to try not to let it affect you.” Read the rest of this entry »
