Celebrity Gossip Report

Generally, Taylor Lautner is regarded as having one of the biggest and brightest smiles of the Twilight cast, but Jennifer Love Hewitt reported a very different experience with the actor at the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Hewitt, appearing on The Wendy Williams Show (via Twirlit) explained that when she went to the premiere, she was wavering in her "Team" loyalty between "Edward" and "Jacob," and she was excited about the opportunity to take a photograph with Taylor Lautner.

However, the picture didn't turn out as he expected, and Lautner's facial expression in it was more of a grimace than a grin. Needless to say, she decided then and there that she was "Team Edward" for good.

Chances are, Taylor Lautner was distracted or caught in between smiles, given his very jovial personality, but it was apparently enough to keep Jennifer Love Hewitt, a self-proclaimed mega-Twilight fan, off the fence.

This is quite the opposite of what Taylor Lautner's usual persuasion in the Twilight fan world has been since a lot of fans have been drawn to "Team Jacob" by his portrayal of the character.

The allure of the blockbuster Twilight books and movies appears to have spawned a troubling trend: Teen couples are biting one another to show affection, sometimes biting so hard they draw blood.

"Biting is challenging because one of the things we know about sexuality and biting and vampires is that it's passion, it's all-encompassing, it's wanting to consume someone else," New York City sexologist Logan Levkoff told Good Morning America.

"And biting is sort of an extension of the hickey. It's that same thing about marking someone else and showing passion."

Michael Kaplor, 16, said he has been biting his girlfriend on and off for about a year.

"For me, biting is the way to show affection toward the other person and to just get a crazy adrenaline rush and not so much to mark territory or to show I belong to something, but just to show the other person I care and there's a deeper sense of affection," he said.

He bites his girlfriend on or around her shoulder to ensure the marks remain hidden. The teen said he draws no blood but knows of others who do.

"I think a lot of people draw blood because they want to feel very powerful, when you bite the other person you get the huge adrenaline rush and it feels like you can't stop and some people just take it too far," he added.

Biting Can Lead to Disease, Doctors Say

The urge to push the envelope can come with serious consequences.

Up to 15 percent of bites from humans can become infected and, in rare cases, biting can spread blood-borne diseases including hepatitis, syphilis and HIV, doctors say.

Even so, teens are drawn to the practice, Levkoff said.

"It gets to that whole obsessive, compulsive, overwhelming teen sexuality, which is, 'We have all these new feelings, we don't know how to control them, we don't know how to make sense of them.' And for some reason, because it's on the screen, because it seems powerful and sexual, we want to mimic it. It doesn't make it right," she added.

But some teens aren't interesting in receiving -- or giving -- this very literal love bite.

Paola Hernandez, 15, said a boyfriend tried to pressure her to allow herself to be bitten.

"He said, 'I love you' and that's the way I want to show you," she said. "I didn't give in because it was kind of idiotic."

Twilight's R-Pattz reveals that things get pretty intimate on set. New Twilight movie Eclipse is another huge hit and Robert Pattinson has one favourite scene in the film.

He and co-star Taylor Lautner have to get very friendly.

'I liked the tent scene because 
I have to grab Taylor's chest and his nipples get hard really easily,' laughs Rob, 24. 'We had to re-shoot the scene basically for that reason!'

Boys will be boys and R-Pattz and Taylor, 18, do like to tease each other.

'It seems like I'm always picking on Taylor, but the funniest moment was when he was in 
this little grey Spandex suit he sometimes had to wear for the CGI,' Rob reveals.

'Taylor quite frequently 
out-mans me, so seeing him 
in that little Spandex outfit 
made me feel much better 
about myself.

'He looked great 
in it, though. Very sexy!'

Does Robert Pattinson have competition?...



It's not enough that Kristen Stewart is the rumoured girlfriend of Robert Pattinson but now the actress has been complimented by Taylor Lautner.

The actor who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight Saga, has told Star magazine that Kristen is a “fantastic kisser”.

He said: “There are two kisses. The first one was not so fun - kissing someone when they don't kiss you back.

“But the second kiss is the ultimate movie kiss on top of a mountain. Kristen is a fantastic kisser!”

Hmm we wonder if Rob thinks the same....

What do you think? Have you seen Eclipse?
