Robert Pattinson - Rap Star?

Robert Pattinson told Oprah that his original dream was to be a rapper. He joins Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart on the Oprah Winfrey Show which will air Thursday. He said he was fascinated with American movies and music which he credits for his ability to change from a British to American accent. However, he jokes to Oprah that Kristen Stewart thinks otherwise, saying “But Kristen thinks I do the most terrible American accent.” Stewart laughs out a response saying, “Occasionally, some word will come out, and I’ll be like, ‘We don’t say that!’ ” For some reason I just can’t see Pattinson as a rapper!

Taylor Lautner & Taylor Swift Have Broken Up

The Taylor’s have announced that they are no longer a couple and are better off friends. They broke the news yesterday.

Taylor Lautner Beats Kanye’s Ass

Taylor Lautner beheaded a mannequin of Kanye West on Saturday Night Live.

The Twilight: New Moon star reenacted the night of the MTV Video Music Awards in September, when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, for a comedy sketch as he appeared as guest host on the NBC show.

Lautner was joined by mannequins with masks of Kanye and Swift’s faces on, and defended the country singer’s honour by performing kung fu kicks on the Kanye dummy, beheading it, before kissing Swift.

Lautner had presented Swift with the award for Best Female Video at the ceremony in New York in September when Kanye stormed the stage and said he believed Beyonce should have won. He later apologised.

Lautner and Swift are yet to officially confirm they are dating but when the singer guest hosted Saturday Night Live recently, she performed a spoof song in which she blew the actor a kiss.

Taylor Lautner and James Franco Will Host December SNL

When SNL announced yesterday that James Franco and Taylor Lautner would be hosting in December, I had one thought: Man, I would love to see these two wrestle. Just kidding: I thought man, James Franco is going to obliterate poor Taylor Lautner and his biceps of teenwolf lust.

In Lautner’s defense, he’ll be one of the youngest hosts the show has ever had — a few months shy of his 18th birthday puts him among the 10 youngest. I’m worried that we might have a January Jones redux on our hands, though: Lautner is famous for one and only one thing, and given how much the show has struggled this season to give hosts a variety of material, that’s going to make writing for him pretty tough. Might he be charismatic and nimble enough to carry it anyway? Eh…live TV has slayed far mightier foes.

Which brings us to Franco. Franco hosted last year, and he did a pretty solid job — plus he’s a naturally funny guy who has been in many comedies. He’s also shown himself to be a really good sport about making fun of himself, which is often what the best SNL sketches come from.

‘New Moon’ Taylor Lautner Ripped

Bulking up for a meatier role in the next “Twilight” movie was hard work, Taylor Lautner says. He gained 30 pounds of muscle while on a strict diet and exercise routine.

But it has been even harder putting that buff bod out on display for fans to drool over, the “Twilight Saga: New Moon” star told Us Weekly magazine.

“It’s actually quite uncomfortable knowing so many people are seeing that,” he said. “It’s a little bit embarrassing!”

Last week a new shirtless picture of Lautner from the “Twilight” set caused a stir. The photo was released to promote the “official illustrated movie companion” to “New Moon,” a book due out Oct. 6. Lautner — with shirt — also graced the cover of the October issue of Teen Vogue.
