Native American Werewolf Also Great Pilot

Your favorite Twilight hunk after the standard Twilight hunk is getting another big part. With studios insisting Taylor Lautner is destined to become our next Vin-Diesel-but-with-hair-and-a-human's-voice, Skydance Productions has entrusted the walking Bowflex ad to the lead in Northern Lights, a Top Gun-like tale of hotshot pilots, a love affair, and Tom Cruise. Lautner will play Muscular Hotshot Pilot No. 1; Cruise will play his rich, controlling father; Hotshot Lady Pilot Who Muscular Pilot Will Kiss has yet to be cast.

Deadline Hollywood notes Lautner will make $7.5 million for the part, making him a higher paid teen star than even Disney groomed TeenBeat stars Zac Efron and Hannah Montana. So whoever said you can't become a huge star solely by having a vacant stare, working out, drinking protein shakes, and playing second fiddle in an awful teenage girl-focused genre franchise, you were sure wrong! I don't know why you were wrong, but you were apparently wrong.
