The world's most famous teen wolf is looking all grown up on the July cover of GQ Magazine.

In addition to sharing his smokin' abs with the world, Taylor Lautner's interview with the mag features his thoughts on being the highest-paid teenage actor in Hollywood, dealing with aggressive "Twilight" fans, his upcoming first solo film, and more!

Lautner takes his success with a grain of salt. In 2008, despite "Twilight"'s success, studio execs were hinting at replacing him. According to GQ, Lautner admits to some dark, if brief, moments of self-doubt during that time. He hired a personal trainer on his own dime and started practicing some Tony Robbins mind tricks:

"I'm in the gym," Lautner says, "and I'm doing reps, and I'm reading the books, and I'm studying the character. I'm just saying to myself, 'I want this role. I love this role. I'm not gonna lose it. And I'm gonna know it better than anybody, and I'm gonna do that extra rep, because I'm gonna be Jacob Black.' "

MMM...MMM....Good! Could we ever get enough R-Patz?! We think not, and the studios agree because Robert Pattinson was offered a role in Fox 2000’s period piece “Water For Elephants,” a novel adaptation following a veterinary student who joins the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth during the Great Depression.

Already set to star in the film is Reese Witherspoon, who will play horse rider Marlena. Sean Penn is reportedly considering the role of her husband, August, the circus’ animal trainer.

The vamp will next appear in “Remember Me,” due March 12, and in the third film in “The Twilight Saga,” “Eclipse,” on June 30.

He also has upcoming roles in two more period dramas — “Bel Ami” and “Unbound Captives.”

Meanwhile, news of a film adaptation of the fourth and final novel in “The Twilight Saga,” “Breaking Dawn,” is expected to be announced in the coming months. (AccessHollywood)

Looks like we'll be seeing a lot from R-Patz in 2010! We couldn't be happier!

Taylor Lautner's got abs of gold. "New Moon" has reeled in $288 million in just seven weeks in theaters, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film of the year and climbing. Now the movie's star is about to get paid. Big-time.

Lautner is set to earn $7.5 million for his next picture, according to a Deadline.com report, making him the highest-paid teen in Hollywood. The film, titled "Northern Lights," will pair the 17-year-old with Tom Cruise. The plot is described as a story about "a gifted young aerobatics pilot who faces off with his controlling billionaire father and falls in love with a gifted female pilot.

According to the Deadline.com story, young stars like Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus have not commanded a paycheck nearly as large as Lautner's. And the "Twilight" werewolf might get even more cash for his future projects.

A December report in Variety indicated that "Breaking Dawn," the final book in the "Twilight" saga, may be split into two films, which would force Summit Entertainment to reopen negotiations with Lautner and co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Based on the blockbuster success of "New Moon," that would likely mean a monster raise for Lautner.

Lautner should also see a hefty payday for his starring turn in "Max Steel." Based on a Mattel toy line and comic book tie-in, the action flick would feature Lautner as an extreme-sports star. who encounters nano-machines that endow him with superpowers. The script is still being tweaked, though, leaving the actor free to jump into "Northern Lights" with Cruise in the spring, just a couple of months before the arrival in theaters of the next "Twilight" film, "Eclipse," whose script recently leaked online! Who was in charge of the leak, might you ask? Apparently it was Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper Cullen! We doubt this will effect "Eclipse's" box office appeal, these vamps are cash cows!

As if you needed another excuse to wait eagerly for the rest of the movies, ahora the Twilight series is getting un poquito de sabor Latino with the addition of Catalina Sandino Moreno to the cast of la tercera película de la serie, Eclipse.

La talentosa actriz Colombiana is best known for playing the Oscar-nominated lead role in the gritty drug-trafficking film, María Full of Grace.  She has just signed on to the Twilight franchise to play the role of María, the petite and softspoken Latina vampire who seduces Jasper (played by Jackson Rathbone) into forming a lethal army of newborn vampires.  We think Catalina will be perfecta para this passionate and fiesty role!  Esta nueva adición al elenco de la serie comes weeks after the controversial switch of Bryce Dallas Howard for Rachelle Lefevre as Bella's flame-haired nemesis Victoria.  Count on Twilight chisme to always keep us on our toes!

Twilight fans confused about whether Vanessa Hudgens will play Leah in New Moon?

Don't worry, so were we.  We read the books and were sure the part of Leah Clearwater was nowhere in New Moon (possible script typo?). Luckily, the screenwriter for the film, Melissa Rosenberg, brought up the same stylistic concern. She confirmed that we won't be seeing Vanessa anytime soon:

I'm not sure about [final] casting, but I had heard Vanessa Hudgens was going up for the part of Leah [Clearwater, a werewolf], but at the moment, the part of Leah doesn't happen until the third movie.

Well DUH! Anyone who has read the series knows that. Oh well, keep a look out for the "High School Musical" starlet the next go round when Eclipse lands on the big screen. Are you disappointed by the news? [MTV News]
