Taylor Lautner Takes "Breaking Dawn" to the Big Apple

Hitting the morning talk show circuit, Taylor Lautner greeted fans ahead of his appearance on "Live! With Regis and Kelly" this morning (November 9).

Leaving his beloved female fans in a frenzy, the 19-year-old hunk entered the New York City studios to chat about the next week's (November 18) release of "Breaking Dawn-Part 1."

Earlier in the day, Taylor stopped by NBC's "Today Show," where the teen heartthrob admitted to being more clothed in this installment of "Twilight" franchise than previous, explaining, "I was lucky in this one, because I am shirtless much less than Rob and Kristen."

While that may come as a bit of disappointment for some, Lautner says the movie is definitely still one to watch, telling, "I'm excited for it, I can't believe it is here ... This is my favorite movie because it's different than any of the other ones, in tone, it's more mature. My character grows up in this one. He's dealing with a lot."

Robert, Kristen & Taylor's Fan Convention Panel Appearance

Giving "Twilight" fans a special treat, the vampire franchise's stars showed up for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part One Official Fan Convention” in Los Angeles, California on Saturday (November 5).

Held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner joined director Bill Condon for a special panel appearance at the three day event.




During their thirty minutes onstage, Kristen was asked to talk about Bella, of which she said, "She’s known herself for a really long time. You would die for it, but you don’t know why. I can so relate to being so emotional for something… In this one she’s so clear. She’s the steady finger in the middle of all this chaos. That’s the first time I realized, the whole growing up thing - isn’t about getting married and having a baby - it’s that. So that was fun."

Touching on the much-talked about wedding dress by Carolina Herrera, the 21-year-old told, "I was so relieved, man. There are many things that could take you out of the moment…it’s funny. People keep asking if I had input. I didn’t need it. I never imagined what I would have been wearing. I’m glad I didn’t have to. Ultimately I thought it was very beautiful and I loved it."

As for her favorite line from the "Twilight Saga," Miss Stewart dished, "We did basic vows, which mean so much more. Saying them in front of a whole bunch of people who don’t really know really what is going on between you guys. They aren’t normal. They are skewed. Forever actually means forever. I had never read it like that before."

Taking on the question about the coldest day of shooting, Taylor chimed in to opine, "This one is easy. The rain scene in New Moon was absolutely ridiculous. It was 38 degrees Fahrenheit. I was wearing nothing but little jean shorts. On top of that, that would have been bad enough. It was rain tower rain. They took it from the stream. We filmed that scene for 12 straight hours. We had contact lens on."

Meanwhile, Robert was selected to reply to the topic of the most memorable thing about the hit franchise, to which he said, "I think the whole thing is a good memory. The one scene I will take away with me is the dance at the end of the first one in the gazebo. That was a really great moment. There were all these little frogs croaking around. It was really sweet. That moment started this whole…uh…thing."

This weekend's festivities comes as part of the "Twilight Tour" - which includes costume competitions and trivia games as the film's cast travels across the States over the next two weeks leading up to the much-awaited movie's November 18th theatrical release date.

Of the "Breaking Dawn" promotional efforts, Creation Entertainment spokeswoman Monica Gillen said that the studio "wanted to do something nice for the fans. The timing worked out because the stars happened to be in Los

“Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” Featurette Preview

The days are ticking down until “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1” hits theaters, and Summit Entertainment has released an inside look at the flick

In the clip, stars Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Robert Pattinson give their take on the first half of the stunning series finale.

Among the topics discussed are Edward and Bella’s wedding, Edward and Jacob’s complicated friendship, and the progeny of Bella and Edward.

“Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1” is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on November 18th, with part two coming in 2012.

Taylor Lautner Puts On His Poker Face For GQ Australia [PHOTOS]

Mr. Lautner I presume? Actor Taylor Lautner covers the latest issue of GQ Australia and gives us some of his best “stare” eyes.

The actor chatted with the magazine about being mobbed by fans and fame. Here are some highlights:

Being noticed everywhere: “It comes down to what kind of mood you’re in,” he says. “You have to make a decision before you go out: are you willing to sign autographs and take pictures, say hello and meet new people?”

PHOTOS: Taylor Lautner Goes Shirtless For Wolf Pack

Is it upsetting? “I wouldn’t say I get upset about it. I asked for this,” he says. “It gets frustrating. But during that frustration you say, ‘OK. Why am I frustrated? I’m doing what I love.’ But sometimes you really just want to go do whatever you want to do.”

More from Taylor…

His dream car. “As you know, I’ve been driving the same car [a BMW 5 series] for the past four years. But I’ve always been a huge car fan. And I would always go to dealerships and drool. And I definitely always had my eye on this car. And it was a long process before I even considered getting a car like that. It’s a childhood dream.”

His family’s decision to move to Hollywood to launch Taylor’s career. “At that age,” he says, “I wasn’t thinking about that. I was like, ‘My family wants to move to California! Wahoo!’ Looking back, we risked everything. If me and my family had known how competitive this business was, I don’t think we ever would have given it a shot. We came out here green, not knowing anything.”

More Taylor Lautner VMan Photos

We brought you Taylor Lautner‘s VMan cover yesterday, and now we have a few more shots by Steven Klein from the VMan shoot.Read on and find out what Taylor had to say about his life and career.On Being A World Traveler: “When I am traveling the world promoting the films, I say I am on vacation, but it’s not really true, I guess,” he tells the September issue of VMan.

“When I go to a beautiful city I spend the whole time in a hotel room and then I am back on a plane to the next place.”On Being Just An Ordinary Guy: “If I’m not filming, I’m promoting, and if it wasn’t Twilight, it was a different movie, so it got really busy,” he says. “I hang out with my friends, family, and kind of just — I don’t even know.

It’s like, when I am not filming, it seems like — I don’t even know what I do.”Taylor talks Twilight…On Twilight: “It’s definitely these characters we are playing. They are in love with Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black. I mean, they feel like they know them. We are just lucky enough to be playing them. But I definitely think it’s the characters.”The September issue of VMan is on newsstands today.

Lily Collins Talks Movie-Making with ASOS

As she continues to make her mark on Hollywood, Lily Collins recently opened to the October 2011 issue of ASOS magazine about her latest happenings.

The ASOS cover gig comes as the 22-year-old beauty stars alongside “Twilight” hunk Taylor Lautner in the upcoming film “Abduction,” which hits theaters on September 23.

Of filming the action/drama flick, Collins told the mag, “I never thought in a million years I’d be doing stunts, flying off trains, setting people on fire, running through swamps at night, but it’s fun and I love taking chances.”

Meanwhile, Lily is currently filming a new take on the classic tale “Snow White” - of which she mentioned, “It is so surreal. Everyone calls me ‘Snow’ on-set and I’m working with Julia Roberts.”

So pretty.

Taylor Lautner is featured on the new cover of VMAN in a Steven Klein photo. The cover was styled by Nicola Formichetti.

Taylor Lautner: “Abduction” Action Stud

He’s one of the most desirable men in Hollywood, and Taylor Lautner has upped the ante in a new featurette from his upcoming film “Abduction.”

In the clip, the “New Moon” hunk and his costar Jason Isaacs practice a fight scene, and boy do they look fierce.

Taylor recently chatted about the action-oriented nature of the film, noting that it helped him recapture his karate skills.

“I did martial arts at a young age and I was able to do a lot of crazy stunts in this movie. I got to do some awesome fight scenes, jumping off walls, car chases, explosions…”

Taylor Lautner Premieres Red Carpet “Abduction” in Australia

Taking care of some promotional duties, Taylor Lautner was spotted at the premiere of his new film “Abduction” in Sydney, Australia today (August 23).

The “Breaking Dawn” hunk arrived at Hoyts Cinemas to find a ton of fans and paparazzi waiting for him, and he happily obliged with a few photos before heading inside.

During an interview, Taylor showed his humble nature and his gratitude for having made it so far in the movie business.

"It's amazing the support I get. You never really get used to it. It's because of everyone here that I get to do what I do. I'm always thankful."

The Most Anticipated Fall Movies 2011

The Debt
Because this fall, Helen Mirren’s not playing a purse-lipped queen; she’s playing a pistol-whipping Mossad agent. Aug. 31.

Contagion
Because the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s viral panic thriller was so bold (and scary) it revealed that Gwyneth Paltrow’s character will die early on. Sept. 9.

Warrior
Because no young actor is a more convincing brute than Tom Hardy, who bashes faces in this mixed-martial-arts flick. Sept. 9.

I Don’t Know How She Does It
Because even though the trailer for this can’t-have-it-all chick flick looks dreadful, there’s always hope that Sarah Jessica Parker will make a comeback. Sept. 16.

Restless
Because the last time Gus Van Sant built a film around a woman (To Die For), he gave Nicole Kidman her best role, and we hope he does the same for Mia Wasikowska. Sept. 16.

Abduction
Because this action thriller is Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner’s chance to prove that he’s more than a rack of abs. Sept. 23.

Machine Gun Preacher
Because there are few actors manly enough to play a Harley-riding born-again thug who decides to build an orphanage in the Sudan—but Gerard Butler is one of them. Sept. 23.

Killer Elite
Because Jason Statham, Robert De Niro, and Clive Owen will blow stuff up. Sept. 23.

50/50
Because this buddy-with-cancer drama may sound fatal, but the great cast—Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anna Kendrick, and Seth Rogen—means there’s hope for a cure. Sept. 30.

Dream House
Because what’s better than seeing just-married actors Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig in their haunted starter home? Sept. 30.

Margaret
Because director Kenneth Lonergan’s You Can Count on Me was so good, maybe there’s a solid reason why this one’s been in the editing room for years. Sept. 30.

Hell and Back Again
Because this documentary about a soldier returning home from Afghanistan won the Best Doc prize at Sundance. Oct. 5.

The Big Year
Because Owen Wilson, Jack Black, and Steve Martin are competitive birders. Oct. 14.

Margin Call
Because it’s not exactly the worst time for a film about a bank meltdown—particularly if it stars Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, and Zachary Quinto. Oct. 21.

Martha Marcy May Marlene
Because, as we saw at Sundance, Sean Durkin’s film about a young woman who gets seduced into a dangerous cult stars Elizabeth Olsen (yes, of those Olsen girls) in a vital performance that will launch her career. Oct. 21.

In Time
Because Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried’s sci-fi film about a world where people stop aging at 25 is an almost too-perfect analogy for Hollywood. Oct. 28.

Anonymous
Because—WTF?—disaster-movie pro Roland Emmerich is doing a period-pic about the real identity of Shakespeare. Oct. 28.

Like Crazy
Because there are never enough Anglophile romances, and this one earned Sundance raves for Anton Yelchin and newcomer Felicity Jones. Oct. 28.

Natural Selection
Because Robbie Pickering’s indie comedy about an evangelical woman and the sperm-donation-conceived son of her husband is spit-take hysterical. Nov. TBA.

My Week With Marilyn
Because Michelle Williams is playing Marilyn Monroe. Nov. 4.

Tower Heist
Because of the counterintuitive casting of two spectacularly wealthy actors (Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller) as poor New Yorkers who steal from a rich jerk, played by nice-guy Alan Alda. Nov. 4.

J. Edgar
Because in Clint Eastwood’s film, scripted by Milk’s Dustin Lance Black, Leo DiCaprio is playing Hoover—and he’ll look great in a 1950s suit. Or dress. Nov. 9.

Melancholia
Because blasé provocateur Lars von Trier (whose film stars a convincingly morose Kirsten Dunst) will not be ignored. Besides, if you’re in the right mood, it’s funny. Nov. 11.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Because this John Le Carré adaptation assembles the best British cast this side of Harry Potter (Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Ciarán Hinds, Toby Jones, Gary Oldman).Nov. 18.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 1
Because who doesn’t want to see Bella give birth to vampire spawn? Nov. 18.

A Dangerous Method
Because we can’t think of two hotter actors than Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender to star in a kinky film about Jung and Freud directed by David Cronenerg. Nov. 23.

The Descendants
Because Alexander Payne’s first film since Sideways casts George Clooney as a sad-sack everyman, and if anyone can pull off such an absurd premise, it’s Payne. Nov. 23.

Hugo
Because the director of Mean Streets is making a kiddie fantasy, and Martin Scorsese has cast Chloë Moretz as the heroine and Sacha Baron Cohen as the baddie. Nov. 23.

The Muppets
Because of Miss Piggy.
