Taylor Lautner struggled to bulk up for the forthcoming “Twilight” sequel – because he hated having to eat every couple of hours.

The teenage actor altered his diet and upped his exercise regime to transform his slim physique into a buff build. Lautner was allowed to eat anything and everything in preparation for the role, but he insists it wasn’t as fun as it sounds.

He tells Star magazine, “Most people were like, that sounds amazing, to be able to eat all the time, and it is at first. But after a year and a half of it, I mean, I have to put something in my mouth every two hours, so it becomes kind of annoying!”

I’ve also added all the outtakes I could find – so there are plenty of pictures for you to go through! I can’t wait for New Moon!

The acting looks terrible, of course. The turning into wolves is totally cheesy, and not scary. Is it supposed to be scary? But still, it’s just not right how excited I am to see the movie. It won’t matter if the movie sucks (like Twilight did, but I’ve still seen it a hundred times) I’ll be there opening day. Heck yeah!

I got my copy of the New Moon Soundtrack last week, and I haven’t stopped listening to it yet.  The album is full of original songs from huge artists such as Thom Thorke, Death Cab for Cutie (video above!), The Killers, Muse and more!  It’s really hard to find an album where every single song is amazing, and this CD really is one of them.  Each song is so great! With the movie still a month away, this soundtrack is helping ease my anticipation!

You don’t have to be a Twilight fan to enjoy this album. It is full of amazing songs – you’d be hard to find a song on the CD you don’t like!

Ever since the lineup went public, MTV News has been hitting up these musicians for their thoughts on joining the “Twilight” universe and the inside word about the songs they’ve contributed.

“We were all really excited to be asked to write for it, because it had become such a massive phenomenon,” Death Cab frontman Ben Gibbard said. “We wrote and recorded the song and turned it in, and you hoped the people deemed it worthy.”

It was indeed deemed worthy, as was the track recorded by Bon Iver and St. Vincent called “Rosyln.” “I think there’s something vampirey and creepy about the two of us singing together,” said St. Vincent, whose real name is Annie Clark. “It’s a simple, stripped-down kind of song. It’s really elegant and beautiful.”

Swedish singer Lykke Li revealed that she caught an early viewing of “New Moon,” sat down at the piano and composed “Possibility.” “It’s almost like a fever haze,” she explained. “It’s very repetitive, like a mood you go into. … The lyrics are like, ‘When you walk, you walk like a thief with blood on your hands, because I die when you leave me.’ ”

Returning for the second “Twilight” soundtrack, Muse said they were thankful for the increased exposure. “I think our music has reached out to whole loads of new people that haven’t heard us before,” drummer Dominic Howard said. “It’s great to know that people are discovering our music. It’s a nice side project to be involved in.”

Here is the official track listing:

* DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE — MEET ME ON THE EQUINOX

Taylor Launter unbuttons his shirt for November’s GQ Magazine!

Taylor, 17,  packed on 30 pounds of muscle to play werewolf Jacob in New Moon.

“When a man transforms into a wolf,” he tells the magazine, “all of his clothes get shredded. When he comes back to human form, he’s wearing ripped jeans, and that’s about it. It’s the way it was written. The great thing about this series is we stay true to the books.”

Is it wrong to think he’s hot?

Taylor Lautner (of the Twilight movies, for those of you living under a rock) got wet and wild yesterday on a Malibu beach during a photo shoot for Rolling Stone.

The 17 year old showed his muscles and skills as he did flips, tossed a football, and drove a motorcycle on the beach.

This is going to be one hot Rolling Stone cover! Can’t wait to see it!
