Taylor Lautner’s ‘Abduction’ Hero Vs. Jason Bourne: Who Would Win?

Lautner will debut the ‘Abduction’ trailer and chat with MTV News on Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Taylor Lautner Photo: MTV News Only one more day until “Twilight” superstar Taylor Lautner graces MTV News with his hunky presence for “MTV First: Taylor Lautner,” which premieres on air and online Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET. The 19-year-old star will exclusively debut the first trailer from his upcoming action/thriller “Abduction,” after which the conversation will move to MTV.com where Lautner will sit down with MTV News’ Josh Horowitz for a 30-minute interview. If you Lautner fans weren’t already excited about this exclusive event, we’ve got a little sneak peek of what you’ll be privy to when you tune in and log on for our latest “MTV First.” During the interview, Lautner discusses the similarities and inevitable comparisons between his confused young character, Nathan Price, and Jason Bourne. “I would say Nathan Price’s journey takes place before Jason Bourne’s started,” Lautner explained. “When Jason realized, when he was searching for his true identity, he was already a trained expert.” How about Nathan vs. Jason — who would win? “I think Nathan would need a little more training,” Lautner said. “Give him a couple years, and we’ll get there.” Lautner’s co-star Lily Collins recently offered her thoughts on the Bourne comparisons, giving major props to Lautner for his work on the film. “[He is] very Jason Bourne-esque, of course, with his own twist on it,” Collins explained to MTV News of Taylor’s character in the film. “It’s a complete departure from Jacob. Obviously I’m in the movie so I’m biased, but I think it’s going to completely shock his fans, and people that necessarily don’t know him very well as Jacob that aren’t ‘Twilight’ fans. I think he brings an aspect people haven’t seen yet and [it’s] very, very exciting.” Don’t miss “MTV First: Taylor Lautner” this Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com.

Taylor Lautner Talks ‘Twilight’ Tattoos In His #3 MTV Moment

Lautner will debut the ‘Abduction’ trailer and chat with MTV News on Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Lautner Photo: MTV News With so much talk about his abs at the VMAs and that one special moment he shared with Tom Cruise at the MTV Movie Awards, who could forget the time Taylor Lautner waxed poetic about “Twilight” tattoos? With just a few days until “MTV First: Taylor Lautner,” which premieres Wednesday on air and online at 7:56 p.m. ET, we’re counting down Lautner’s finest MTV moments — and at #3, the action stud recounted one particularly jarring fan encounter. “Usually, they don’t have something for you to sign, so they stick out their hand or their arm for you to sign, so I’m going down the line signing arms,” he said of an autograph session last summer. One of the arms came with a big surprise: “Then I get to an arm that has a gigantic wolf pack tattoo!” After feeling the tattoo to make sure it was real, he signed the fan’s arm, hoping that his signature wouldn’t also make the final cut as a permanent tat. “Sure enough, the very next day I get a call from a buddy saying, ‘Did you sign somebody’s arm? Because it’s tattooed to her now,’ ” he recalled. “I didn’t know whether to feel bad or whether it’s cool. It’s so different.” Don’t miss “MTV First: Taylor Lautner” this Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com.

Taylor Lautner Compares His Abs To Robert Pattinson’s In His #4 Moment

Lautner will debut the ‘Abduction’ trailer and chat with MTV News on Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Lautner Photo: MTV News When Taylor Lautner hit the MTV VMAs back in September 2009, he turned up with a gift for his fans: an extended trailer for the second “Twilight” flick, “New Moon.” Although it seems like a lifetime ago, Twi-hards had yet to see Lautner transformed into a beefier Jacob Black. On the VMA red carpet, Lautner told MTV News that fans would probably have a visceral reaction to seeing him as a shirtless werewolf for the first time. Now, with just a few days until our special “MTV First: Taylor Lautner,” which premieres Wednesday, April 13, on air and online, we’re reliving that shirtless unveiling, our #4 favorite moment with the “Abduction” star.

Taylor Lautner Fist-Bumps Tom Cruise In His #5 MTV Moment

Lautner will debut the ‘Abduction’ trailer and chat with MTV News this Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET. By MTV News staff Taylor Lautner Photo: MTV For a while, Taylor Lautner was pretending he wouldn’t be able to make it to the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. Of course, faithful members of Team Jacob know how that turned out: The “Twilight” star was on hand to present an exclusive “Eclipse” clip, take the stage to accept a Best Movie win for “New Moon” and take part in a ridiculous spoof with Robert Pattinson called “Bad-Ass Cops.” But in the run-up to the big show, Lautner had some fun, during an MTV promo, suggesting he might have other plans for his evening — plans that didn’t make Tom Cruise very happy. As we count down the days until “MTV First: Taylor Lautner” hits the air and the Web on Wednesday, April 13, at 7:56 p.m. — and count off our favorite encounters with the young star — we hauled the promo out of our archives because: A) It still makes us laugh, and B) It’s Taylor’s #5 MTV moment. In the promo, Cruise’s egomaniacal alter-ego, Les Grossman, finishes ripping “Avatar” director James Cameron a new one — “I want it in 4-D! Do it,” he screams — and turns to Lautner to discuss the upcoming Movie Awards. “Les, we already talked about this, remember?” Lautner tells him. “My agents told you that weekend is my best friend’s wedding.” “Understood. All cool,” Les says, and brings in a schlubby fella he says will stand in for Lautner at the wedding. Despite Taylor’s skepticism, Grossman says that everything’s going to work out, then offers up his fists for Tay-Tay to pound.

Couples Watch: Taylor Swift & Garrett Hedlund, Jake Gyllenhaal & Jessica Lowndes (!?)

Looks like Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal are hitting it off … with other people! The former was seen on a hot dat e with Garrett Hedlund, reports say. “It was their first time going out,” a source tells Us Weekly of Swift’s April 1 evening out in Nashville with the Tron: Legacy and Country Strong star. “They’ve been emailing for a while, and she hinted they should get together.” Sources say that despite an obviously strong connection, Taylor is taking things slowly after a fast-track romance and breakup with Jake Gyllenhaal last fall. Speaking of Jake, he’s been spotted out with 90210 star Jessica Lowndes. Yeah, the chick stuck playing Adrianna on the CW’s mediocre remake of the hit. As long as they’re both happy. Too bad Jay Leno didn’t ask Taylor about this during her visit last night . Probably would’ve resulted in more blank stares. [Photos: WENN.com]

Elizabeth Taylor Passes Away at 79

Elizabeth Taylor has died at the age of 79. Her cause of death is not immediately known, but Taylor had been treated at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for congestive heart failure last month. Although she had recently suffered a number of complications, her condition had stabilized and it was hoped that she would be able to return home. Sadly, it was not to be as she passed away. The English-born, American-raised Elizabeth became a star at a very young age and has long been considered one of the greats of Hollywood’s golden age. A two-time Academy Award-winning actress, Elizabeth Taylor later in life became notorious for her seven marriages and sometimes eccentric behavior. She starred in the 1944 smash hit National Velvet at age 12, then won acclaim A Place In The Sun, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and other works in the ’50s. Taylor won Oscars in the 1960s for roles in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Butterfield 8 , and was often the subject of celebrity gossip fascination. Her tempestuous marriages to Richard Burton, changing appearance, declining health and friendship with Michael Jackson all sparked speculation. May the Dame rest in peace.
