Taylor Lautner wins RV company payout

Taylor Lautner has settled a lawsuit against an RV company that failed to deliver a $300,000 (£194,000) vehicle for a recent movie shoot, his lawyer has confirmed.

Attorney Robert Barta told The AP that the 18-year-old star received a $40,000 (£25,000) payout from McMahon RV after they missed the deadline to provide an accommodation vehicle for the Twilight actor during filming of his new thriller Abduction.

Barta added that Lautner would donate the five-figure sum to the Lollipop Theatre Network, a nonprofit organisation that arranges film screenings for hospitalised children.

Lautner had previously been challenged to settle the dispute in a push-up contest with the owner of the RV company.

Taylor Lautner Lawsuit Leads To Push-Up Challenge

Getting quite the strange counteroffer while trying to settle a trailer lawsuit out of court, Taylor Lautner has been issued a push-up challenge by the defendant.

The muscle-dependent proposition stems from the "Twilight" hunk's recent court filings alleging that Brent McMahon, who owns McMahon's RV in Irvine, California, failed to complete a $300,000 custom trailer in time for him to use on the set of his movie.

According to NY Daily News, McMahon wants to face-off against Lautner in a push-up contest rather than pay the actor the $40,000 in which he's seeking.

Denying any wrongdoing and expressing plans to go to court if Taylor doesn't accept the push-up plan, McMahon, 47, has even said that he'll donate the $40,000 in question to Children's Hospital of Orange County if her ends up beating his younger counterpart.

Meanwhile, Lautner's attorney, Robert Barta, was unwilling to comment - seemingly not taking to kindly to the unusual offer.

Taylor Lautner in fotosete for Italian Vogue

One of the sexiest men of the planet Taylor Lautner appeared in a photo shoot for the new rates of male Vogue (Italy).

Young lady-posing famous photographer Michael Comte. In black and white photographs 18-year-old Lautner looks much older than his years, and all this thanks to his muscular body. Often the boys of his age and frail shapeless, but Taylor has something to impress even the most sophisticated ladies. By the way, in a recent interview the actor confessed that his perfect figure - not the gift of Mother Nature.

To be in the form he has to regularly go to the gym and watch your diet. And if work on the simulator gives him pleasure, then limit yourself to food given to him very hard. A friend of Taylor, told the press that he does not dare to eat pizza and drink beer, even in the rare hours of relaxation with friends. Poor as it is probably hard! With such a pace it will soon suffer the same fate eternally hungry Victoria Beckham, and he did stop smiling.

Taylor Lautner Talks “Eclipse”

It won’t be long before theaters across the world are packed full of teen girls swooning over Taylor Lautner And while filming “Eclipse,” Taylor says there were all kinds of physical demands.

The “New Moon” stud explained, “There’s a scene where I’m carrying [Kristen Stewart], and it’s also, like, four pages of dialogue. So I’m carrying her, and we’re walking through the woods, and I’m talking to her, and it’s a pretty intense talk.”

“We actually had plans, a rig that was basically going to carry her, and I was just going to pretend that I was carrying her. We got there on the day, and the rig didn’t look very natural. They were like, ‘What are we going to do?’ and I’m like, ‘I’ll just carry her. She’s like, what, 110 pounds? It’s no big deal!’”

“We filmed that scene all day long. Did the wide shot, did my close-up, did her close-up, the back shot, everything. It was so hard. … It was painful.”

I still throw out the garbage

Taylor Lautner has admitted that he "loves" his home life because his family keeps him grounded.

The Eclipse star also revealed that despite being a famous actor, he helps out with chores at his parents' home.

As for purchasing his first home, Lautner added: "There's really no point. I'm so busy. I really haven't thought about it."

Lautner recently said that Eclipse, which opens on June 30, is the most masculine film in the Twilight series.
