I just asked Sasha if she thinks Taylor Lautner will ever have another look. You know, other than short hair, a black henley, a bomber, and skinny jeans with combatty boots. Her answer: maybe he can try a necklace one day? It’s a big risk. Like, can you picture him any other way? Other than the way he is today in Australia promoting Abduction? This is just one of the reasons he is Tom Cruise Jr. Full Story

Isn’t he? If you mashed Tom Cruise and John Travolta together, wouldn’t Taylor Lautner come out the other side? As you know, for a long time now, I’ve been calling him Tom Cruise Jr. But lately he’s added a little Danny Zuko/Tony Manero flavour to his dance routine. I call it Top Gun Grease. Full Story

Every time Robert Pattinson shows up at a major event, I always, always hear from two friends who are obsessed with him, we’ll call them the Italians, because they are, and they copy me on their emails like it matters to me, gushing about how “hot” he is which, as you know, is debatable. Full Story

Throughout award season, Hailee Steinfeld was doing a great job dressing her age. Her choices were appropriate, attractive, adorable. Then last night she showed up at the MTV Movies Awards and suddenly there was a new message. On Uma Thurman? Susan Sarandon? Jennifer Aniston? It’s a perfect pantsuit. Full Story

All of us wondered during the liveblog if Emma Watson bitchfaced Emma Stone during Stone’s acceptance speech last night. Watson was seated behind Hailee Steinfeld. And Hailee Steinfeld was clapping like she’d never been let out of the house before which...that might be true. As Duana noted, juxtaposed with that kind of enthusiasm, Watson’s unamused expression seemed extra crusty. Full Story

Taylor Lautner hired a publicist a few months ago called Robin Baum. One of the best. Or at least Baum is used by some of the best. Since this story broke, Baum’s name has been widely attached to Johnny Depp and Daniel Craig as current clients. But consider too that Baum also works with Ryan Gosling (for several years), James Franco, and Benicio Del Toro, just to name a few. Full Story

Written by Sarah Every day it seems Twilight’s Taylor Lautner is signing onto a new project and his salary just keeps escalating. Last year he signed on to a live-action Stretch Armstrong movie for a reported $7.5 million and this year he’s signed on to two more action flicks—one is Incarceron, a YA adaptation about a kid in a futuristic prison colony who escapes, and the other is an as-yet untitled spy thriller that’s described as Bourne meets Munich but appropriate for teen audiences—for eight figures each. Full Story

I suppose it’s not that unusual. To be at an event in Hollywood and you’ve pretended to date/forced yourself to publicly date/secretly dated/oncef-cked half the room. Which one of those applies to Tom Cruise Jr aka Taylor Lautner? Here he is, eager and earnest per usual, last night at the People’s Choice Awards. Full Story

Joe Jonas hit up the Knicks game at Madison Square Garden last night fronting like he’s all manly man with the sporty sportos. Am very, very surprised that Ashley Greene isn’t hanging off him auditioning for a spot on the Knicks cheerleading squad. She doesn’t usually pass up those kinds of opportunities. Full Story

Tom Cruise Jr attended the GQ Men of the Year party in Hollywood last night. As you can see, the side-leaning, while not so pronounced anymore, is still part of the Lautner pose technique. I’ve been asked often lately, after posting details about the Breaking Dawn Part 1 screenplay, how the Imprinting scene will work out in the film. Full Story

Written by Sarah One day, maybe I’ll write about how I define “A List”. I’m very, very picky with this term. It’s overused and more fluid than people give it credit for. For right now, though, we’ll go with “The Hollywood Reporter’s” definition which is, “Actors who are in demand with the mysterious ‘they’ and don’t necessarily have to have proven bankability. Full Story

Taylor Swift performed Back to December last night at the CMAs. The song is widely believed to be about Taylor Lautner. They were dating around this time last year. And then, according to the lyrics, she was a bitch and broke his heart, even though he was really, really into her. In other words, Taylor Swift dumped Taylor Lautner. Full Story

Taylor Swift taped an appearance on Ellen Degeneres in Los Angeles. Ellen brought up Jakey G. Taylor didn’t deny it, she didn’t even bother protesting – we’re just friends! – like they always do. No, no, that would be terrible PR. Is it all PR? Some of you seem to think so because it’s been all so conveniently timed. Full Story
