Taylor Lautner Wins $40,000 Settlement
Posted By Tai
Taylor Lautner would be $40,000 richer today — if he weren’t donating the money to charity.
The Twilight actor, 18, reached a settlement with McMahon’s RV Friday after the California-based company failed to deliver a trailer to the set of Abduction by June 21.
“McMahon’s RV has agreed to settle its dispute with Taylor Lautner. McMahon’s RV will pay $40,000 to Lautner, which Lautner will donate to The Lollipop Theater Network, a children’s charity with which he has a long-standing relationship,” Lautner’s attorney Robert Barta tells UsMagazine.com exclusively.
Adds Barta: “The Lollipop Theater Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing movies currently in theaters to children confined to hospitals due to chronic or life-threatening illnesses. The Lollipop Theater Network works with hospitals nationwide, including the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas.?”
Though TMZ claimed Lautner suffered from “emotional distress” over the incident, a source tells Us that simply wasn’t true.
“This was never a suit about money. It was to hold someone accountable,” the insider says. “Taylor never ordered a customized RV — it was a used RV which needed simple safety-related repairs. There was never any diva behavior. ‘Emotional distress’ is an automatic checked box on a fraudulent claim.”
Reps for Lautner could not be reached for comment.

Taylor Lautner Interview
Posted By Tai
Here is a truly adorable new/old interview with Taylor Lautner from Seventeen magazine where he discusses everything from his first kiss to who he would like to see play him in a movie about his life story. I love how candid and honest Taylor is, and how he doesn’t hold back from his fans. Some of this stuff you already know, but some of it may surprise you!
Get to Know Taylor Lautner
Twilight star Taylor Lautner tells us about his first kiss, his worst habit, and why he still gets shy around girls.
How old were you when you had your first kiss?
“It was sometime in junior high. I don’t remember what year, but it was definitely in junior high. I think it was just with a random girl from school. I mean, it’s not like I walked up to her and was like ‘You’re just a random girl and I’m going to kiss you,’ but just a girl from school, and we had a little thing in junior high.”
What’s the girl fashion trend that confuses the heck out of you?
“I have one that sometimes I don’t understand and sometimes I think is really cute: leg warmers. Sometimes it looks really awkward, like Why are you wearing those? and sometimes it’s like, that’s pretty cute. Maybe it’s the girl or has something to do with wearing them on a sunny day. Like when it’s California weather and it’s 90 degrees, you don’t need to be wearing them. Maybe that’s the answer: The fashion trend I don’t understand — leg warmers when it’s 90 degrees out!”
What’s the chick flick you secretly love?
“It’s definitely girly: The Notebook. And A Walk to Remember.”
What’s your TV guilty pleasure?
“One thing I watch off the hook because it’s on every single night up here [in Vancouver] and I usually can’t find it in the States that much is Dog: The Bounty Hunter.”
Who would play you in the movie version of your life?
“Everybody else always says Johnny Depp, but I wouldn’t mind Brad Pitt or Matt Damon. When people ask me whose career I’d want to have, I say Matt Damon. I love the Bourne series.”
If you could trade places with anyone in the world for one day, who would it be?
Brian Austin Green, because he gets to date Megan Fox!
Who in your family are you closest to?
“My sister because she looks up to me, but I also look up to her in a way. She’s younger, she’s only 10, so I’m probably going to be one of those brothers who are watching her with boys, which she’s probably not going to like too much.”
What’s your favorite Web site?
“I’m not on the computer that much, but I used to go to this Web site called addictinggames.com. It has the coolest games and a lot of variety, so whenever I was bored, I would just go on that.”
What’s your worst habit?
“I bounce my knees, but I do not have restless leg syndrome. I did an interview, I don’t even know who it was with, and they said I told them I have restless leg syndrome and it distracts me from my work. I do not have any syndrome. I actually have many friends [like me] who just bounce their knees.”
Being that you have tons of screaming fans, is it easy for you to talk to girls?
“[Laughs] Oh, I definitely wouldn’t say I overcame that. I guess it just depends on the girl. Sometimes I’ll feel free to completely open up, and I wish I could do that more often because that’s what I look for in a girl. Someone that can open up and be herself, but no, I definitely haven’t overcome it completely.”
What’s the last song you listened to on your iPod?
“It was actually a techno song. I listen to them to get pumped up on set.”
What’s the last thing you bought?
“Last night’s steak [dinner].”
What did you dream about last night?
“I don’t remember. I never remember my dreams.”
