Taylor Lautner in GQ: Yummy!

In a recent interview, Robert Pattinson joked that he wants a better body than Taylor Lautner. Based on a new photo of the latter in GQ , though, it’s no laughing matter when we say: dream on, Rob! We mean… seriously. But you can take comfort in this, R. Patt: few men on the planet have a better body that Taylor: In the July issue of this magazine, Lautner expresses shock over his rise to fame (on the Oscars: “You’re looking down and you’re talking to George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio – and they’re listening to you!”), while also saying not much is different away from the cameras: “The thing I love is that my home life hasn’t changed. I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn.” Since Twilight hit it big, Lautner has signed on for a bunch of new films, such as Abduction . But he says he tries not to get caught up in anything but the work itself. “If I start thinking, Is this movie going to open? Is this movie going to do well? I’m not focusing on the job. The job is to make a good movie.” Anyway, we know what you’re thinking: enough reading. On with the ogling! Drool over new photos of Taylor in GQ below…

Robert Pattinson More Comfortable In ‘Eclipse’ Action Scenes Than ‘New Moon’

‘For some reason, I felt a lot more comfortable with the action stuff this time,’ actor says. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News “New Moon” introduced us to the shape-shifting wolf pack, the ferocious Volturi vampires and scene after scene of ass-kicking action. “I think that guys can definitely relate to the action-packed part of it and the fights that break out and all the special effects that will happen,” star Dakota Fanning said of the movie. But not all guys, it seems. Robert Pattinson himself confessed to MTV News that he never felt comfortable during those action sequences. “Normally I just feel so silly,” he said. “In ‘New Moon,’ I remember starting the fight with Taylor at the end. I felt like such a moron.” It’s not that Pattinson felt ill at ease throwing punches — it’s that his wardrobe was not exactly the sort of gear that made him feel like a badass action star. “You’re always wearing skinny jeans, a little blazer and a kind of woolen sweater and trying to act like you’re tough,” he laughed. “You just know it’s not going to happen.” Yet something must have happened to Pattinson in the months between wrapping “New Moon” in the spring of 2009 and the start of “Eclipse” filming in the fall, because the 24-year-old was much more relaxed when it came to shooting the action for the third installment in the “Twilight” franchise. Not that RPattz knows exactly what changed. “For some reason, I felt a lot more comfortable with the action stuff this time,” he said. That’s a good thing, since he had a ton of action scenes to shoot. You might even say Pattinson does three things in “Eclipse”: He runs around in action scenes, argues with Taylor Lautner and snuggles with Kristen Stewart. So which of these three on-set activities did he enjoy the most? “What about those scenes snuggling with Taylor?” Pattinson joked. “Was that cut?” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Taylor Lautner Only Goes Shirtless When ‘There’s Reasons Behind It’

‘Eclipse’ star talks to GQ about how he’s avoided gratuitous stripping for other roles. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Lautner in “New Moon” Photo: Summit Entertainment Taylor Lautner takes off his shirt a lot in “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” which comes out on June 30. But, as he told MTV News earlier this week, he still feels awkward stripping for those scenes as Jacob in the “Twilight Saga,” and he’s not about to show off his abs for just any role. “Originally I was supposed to take off my shirt [in ‘Valentine’s Day,’]” Lautner says in the July issue of GQ, on newsstands June 22. [LINK] “The script said we were walking into school and ‘ Willy takes off his shirt. ‘ I said, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. He’s gonna take off his shirt in the middle of school? No, no, no.’ The reason I took off my shirt for ‘New Moon’ is because it’s written in the book that way. And there’s reasons behind it.” Though he’s not into displaying it gratuitously, Lautner work extra hard to get and maintain that physique in the first place, and he described for GQ readers how he motivated himself during workouts. “I’m in the gym, and I’m doing reps, and I’m reading the books, and I’m studying the character,” he recalled. “I’m just saying to myself, ‘I want this role. I love this role. I’m not gonna lose it. And I’m gonna know it better than anybody. And I’m gonna do that extra rep, because I’m gonna be Jacob Black.’ ” In the issue, the 18-year-old also talks about why he’s still living at home with his parent, what it was like to present an award alongside Kristen Stewart at the Oscars and how he reacted when then-girlfriend Taylor Swift was interrupted by Kanye West at the VMAs. “I was standing behind [Taylor] as it was happening, and 100 percent I was sure it was staged!” Lautner explained. “I thought, ‘This was something that they rehearsed.’ I was enjoying the show! But then Taylor turned around and I saw her face.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Robert Pattinson Wants a Date, Better Body Than Taylor Lautner

Forget rumors about engagements and babies and other false tabloid reports concerning his love life. Robert Pattinson has far more basic desires: “I would like to go on a date,” he told Jenna Bush Hager this morning on Today . “I’m just saying. I’m just putting that out there. Because I never go on dates anymore.” If the actor is seeking company for said date, there are approximately 7.9 million THG readers that would take him up on the offer. While Robert can clearly get a date any time he wants it, the star’s other dream is unlikely to ever come true. Asked about his relationship with Taylor Lautner, Pattinson joked about the constant competition between the pair: “I want to have better hair than him. I want to have a better six-pack.” The former is already done. The latter? Sorry, Rob, but you have no chance . CHECK OUT THE INTERVIEW BELOW AND PREPARE TO SWOON, LADIES. Rob on Today

Tom Cruise To Revisit Les Grossman Role In New Movie

Cruise and Ben Stiller are producing the comedy based on the ‘Tropic Thunder’ and MTV Movie Awards character. By Josh Wigler Les Grossman at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards Photo: Paramount If you thought Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Michael Cera, Will Smith and the rest of the Hollywood elite were safe from movie-studio exec Les Grossman’s fiery insults and cutthroat business ethics, think again. In a press release issued Wednesday (June 9), Paramount Pictures and MTV Films announced the development of a comedy focused on Grossman, the foul-mouthed movie producer played by Tom Cruise in “Tropic Thunder” and the 2010 MTV Movie Awards . Cruise, Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfield of Red Hour Films are producing the project with “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” screenwriter Michael Bacall tackling the script. Unsurprisingly, the press release phrases the movie’s development as if Grossman were actually a real person — which, of course, he is! Tom Cruise is said to be in talks to portray the media mogul in the film. As for the film’s plot, “Grossman” himself explained: “To quote my great friend Kirk Lazarus, ‘I don’t read the script, the script reads me.’ ” “Les Grossman’s life story is an inspiring tale of the classic human struggle to achieve greatness against all odds,” said Stiller, Grossman’s “Tropic Thunder” co-star. “He has assured me he plans to, quote, ‘F—ing kill the sh– out of this movie and make “Citizen f—ing Kane” look like a piece-of-crap home movie by the time we are done.’ I am honored to be working with him.” Paramount Film Group President Adam Goodman added: “Everything I learned in this business, I’ve learned from Les. I started out as his assistant, and from the first day he threw his desk at me when I got his lunch order wrong, I have loved him like a father. I am forever grateful to Ben and Stuart Cornfield and their ability to secure his highly coveted life rights.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

New ‘Eclipse’ Photos Emerge

Bella, Edward, Jacob and other beloved ‘Twilight’ characters populate 20 new production stills. By Josh Wigler Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) in “Eclipse” Photo: Summit Entertainment There’s less than a month to go before the release of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” but even three weeks of waiting seems like an eternity before the big-screen return of Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner). With any luck, your appetites were somewhat satiated by the exclusive clip that debuted at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , but if you’re still craving an immediate trip to the world of “Twilight,” this new batch of official “Eclipse” production stills should do the trick. Twenty new photos were released on the official “Twilight” Facebook page this evening, offering fans with detailed glimpses at fan-favorite characters and exotic locations. The stills cover a wide gamut of scenes, including Bella’s mortal high school pals Jessica (Anna Kendrick), Eric (Justin Chon), Angela (Christian Serratos) and Mike (Michael Welch) gathered near a school bus, as well as the supernatural Cullen family banded together in the picturesque woods of Forks, Washington. Although Team Jacob supporters hoping for shirtless pictures of Taylor Lautner will be in for a disappointment, the actor’s werewolf brethren more than compensate in the skin department with four flashy photos. Also pictured is Riley (Xavier Samuel), one of Victoria’s (Bryce Dallas Howard) many vampire minions and an eventual nemesis of Edward Cullen’s. In addition to the sexy and action-packed pictures, a significant portion of the photos are devoted to quieter moments featuring Stewart as Bella. She appears alone with characters such as Edward, Jacob and even her father, Charlie (Billy Burke), not to mention a well-shot behind-the-scenes photograph alongside “Eclipse” director David Slade who is not replacing Robert Pattinson as Edward, despite an amusing quip from one sarcastic commenter.

‘Jersey Shore’ Star The Situation Vs. Taylor Lautner: Who Has Better Abs?

‘There can only be one Situation,’ the Situation himself says of the showdown. By Josh Wigler Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino and Josh Horowitz on the 2010 Movie Awards red carpet Photo: MTV News Fans of the “Twilight” franchise must pick a side: either Team Edward or Team Jacob. But the hunky werewolf’s loyalists might want to make room on their plate for a completely different rivalry: Team Jacob vs. Team Situation? While walking the red carpet at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , “Jersey Shore” castmates Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino were asked to weigh in on which star had the better “situation” going on: the “Jersey Shore” star or Taylor Lautner. For Ronnie, it’s not even a question who has the better shirtless situation: “You’ve got to go with the Situation, the original.” But the Situation himself seemed to be looking for a humble and amicable resolution. Instead, he offered: “You know what? The Situation is called the Situation for a reason. There can only be one Situation.” It’s hard to say whether Ronnie and the Situation’s opinions reflect those of the rest of the “Jersey Shore” cast, as Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino told MTV News earlier in the night that they’re fans of the “Twilight” actors. “I’m a fan of them,” Pauly D revealed, with Vinny adding: “I wish everybody success. We’re both doing our thing right now, and we’re both guests at the MTV Movie Awards. Can’t ask for anything more than that, you know?” They might feel that way now, but what if they were asked who had the better hair between Pauly and RPattz? That would be a whole different “situation” altogether.

‘Twilight’ Star Robert Pattinson Feels ‘Agile’ With New Haircut

‘You feel like you’ve got a six-pack already, as soon as you cut your hair,’ the MTV Movie Awards winner says. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News About a week before the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , Robert Pattinson — a multiple nominee for his role in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” — got some very stern, profanity-laced advice about his hair from Hollywood “mega mogul”/ dance machine Les Grossman. The producer warned the actor, who was considering a shave and a wash for his usual bed-head, not to do anything different to his shaggy mane. “Your filthy hair made you a star,” Grossman raged at RPattz . “Your filthy hair made me hundreds of millions of dollars!” But it seems Pattinson didn’t much care for Grossman’s two cents, as he showed up Sunday night sporting a clean, freshly cut new ‘do. When MTV News caught up with the “Twilight” heartthrob backstage, we had to ask the Movie Award winner whether he felt any different with his short hair. Specifically, whether he’d lost any superpowers — like the ability to incite uncontrollable screaming or to inspire inexplicable, cross-generational obsession from teens, tweens and housewives — since taking clippers to his famously untamed mane. “No,” Pattinson said, humbly denying any superhero capabilities. “I feel so much better, so much better … It’s like having, I don’t know, I feel like I’m wearing two wigs most of the time. So yeah, I feel like agile and stuff. You feel like you’ve got a six-pack already, as soon as you cut your hair.” Maybe he’s gearing up to give muscled-up “Twilight” co-star Taylor Lautner some competition in the abs department? What do you think of Rob’s new look? Team Edward fans: Are you loving his shorter hair? Let us know in the comments!
