“I was never extremely confident,” Taylor told Rolling Stone this week. “Because I was an actor, when I was in school there was a little bullying going on. Not physical bullying but people making fun of what I do … I just had to tell myself I can’t let this get to me. This is what I love to do. And I’m going to continue to do it.”

Lautner is reportedly dating country sensation Taylor Swift. Guess he showed them!

Saturday Night Live rings in the holiday season with three new shows, beginning December 5.

Taylor was famously dumped by boy bander Joe Jonas — by phone, no less — after the crooner fell for actres Camilla Belle. Taylor’s determined not to be bested by another woman.

“She trusts Taylor but it drives her crazy to see Kristen hanging off him all the time,” a source tells Now.

The couple have spent the last few weeks apart as Taylor — who plays werewolf Jacob in the films — has been busy promoting The Twilight Saga: New Moon. In recent weeks, Taylor and Kristen have been frequently photographed together at New Moon premieres – and all the private time between the two has rattled the “Love Story” singer.

“She doesn’t buy the whole notion that Kristen only has eyes for Robert Pattinson. She believes she’s secretly longing to get her hooks into Taylor even though they’re just good friends.”

Taylor has been romantically-linked to his Valentine’s Day co-star for weeks, but the pair have refused to respond to reports that they are a couple.

“We got along great. We instantly clicked. And she’s – she’s an amazing girl,” Taylor L. said. “Aside from being beautiful, she’s extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around, so we definitely get along. We’re close.”

In a bold move, Rolling Stone quizzed Taylor on his sexuality.

“Another possibility is that maybe you’re just sort of discovering yourself,” Rolling Stone asked.

“OK,” Taylor said.

”…As a young person trying to figure out his sexual identity in the world,” the mag continued.

“OK. I see where you’re going,” he said during the interview. “Interesting choice.”

“It is a possibility,” the mag said.

“There’s a lot of rumors out there,” Taylor replied.

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).”

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 :)

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.”

“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!”

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.
