New Moon is a movie based on the second book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated after her one true love leaves her, vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). Bella befriends Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), who falls deeply in love with her.

Taylor Lautner Talks Diet, Workouts and Being Shirtless

MSN's TwiSuperfan paid a visit to the "New Moon" set and got the latest scoop from hunk Taylor Lautner. This interview reveals coveted Taylor deets, such as how much time he spends shirtless in "New Moon," his diet and exercise program, and why he feels bad for his character Jacob Black.

What percentage of time would you say you spend shirtless?



I’d say the same as the books. I’m not going to give you a specific percent, but the great things about this series, and the movies, is we stay true to the books. So if you read the books, you know what the movie’s going to look like. [This means Taylor is shirtless A LOT!]

Was [the physical transformation] harder or easier than you thought it would be?

The actual getting into the gym and working out process was easier, but the eating was harder. Because I had to eat, and everyone’s like “Are you kidding me? I’d love to eat like that!” I had to eat every two hours. At one point, my trainer said, “Put anything in your mouth. Go to McDonald’s, get the biggest shake possible, I just need to get calories in you.” Because my body fat at the time was only, like, seven and a half percent.Read more

Taylor Lautner: A Smitten Jacob Black

A "New Moon" movie still of Taylor Lautner gazing into the eyes of Kristen Stewart has surfaced. Look at Taylor's chiseled jawline. O-M-G.

According to the Los Angeles Times,

"The film's success...catapulted 19-year-old [Kristen] Stewart and 23-year-old [Robert] Pattinson to a stratospheric level of stardom that seems to make both actors deeply uncomfortable...

Taylor Lautner, 17, who plays Jacob, hasn't experienced exactly the same sort of frenzy, but with his character moving to the forefront of the action in "New Moon," he soon might. There is, after all, an entire camp that argues that Bella should wind up with his character rather than the brooding Edward."

Taylor Lautner Pictures: Interview Magazine 2009

TL Daily brought you pictures of Taylor Lautner's matrix style photo shoot with Interview Magazine back on June 1, 2009. After a grueling 1.5 month wait, the pics have finally been published. Hallelujah!

Taylor's 3 page in-depth interview covers everything from Twilight, New Moon, the wolf pack, his character Jacob Black, the crazy fans, and more. Taylor shares a tidbit of what's in store for Jacob,

"He’s a lot different than he was before. He transforms mid-story—in the first half, he’s Twilight Jacob. I’m wearing a wig. My character’s very clumsy, outgoing, and friendly. When he transforms into a werewolf, he becomes something very different. It’s like I’m playing a split personality. Which is tricky, because sometimes I’ve had to play pre- and post-transformation Jacob on the same day of filming." Read more

Taylor Lautner's Body Before Twilight and After New Moon

Rachelle Lefevre was recently interviewed by the London Free Press and reveals her thoughts on Taylor Lautner's 30 lb. physical transformation.

"The day Twilight wrapped, even before we knew there was going to be New Moon, Taylor started working out like an animal. He put on 30 pounds of muscle... I saw some of his dailies and he has a presence that, if you were to watch Twilight and New Moon back to back, he looks like he's aged five years."Read more

Update: "New Moon" Premiere in Knoxville

TL Daily was interviewed by the Knoxville News-Sentinal, for their upcoming story about Twilight fans and their reaction to "New Moon" premiering in Knoxville. For me personally, the news was quite unexpected. I assumed it would take place in Los Angeles, just like it did last year.

There also seems to be a little confusion about whether "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" will have more than one "premiere." Last year Twilight had fundraiser premieres and THE premiere in Los Angeles. The writer said he will try to clear this up in his next article.

In regards to the date of the premiere and the stars attending, nothing has been confirmed. TL Daily called Variety - The Children's Charity of Eastern Tennessee and learned that they hope to finalize the details in the next 30-60 days. Variety is also trying to come up with a package so that devoted Twilight fans will have the ability to buy tickets.

UPDATE: New information available as of 7/24/09

How do you feel about the premiere in Knoxville? Will you try to attend?
