Previously, I’ve never had that strong an opinion of Taylor Lautner. At times, I’ve read interviews with him where he sounded like a really nice, down-to-earth kid. Other times, I just thought to myself “Gay, but doesn’t know it yet.” There’s nothing wrong with the kid beeping on my gaydar – but it’s interesting that Lautner, Inc. (with the help of Hollywood) is trying to bill him as the wholesome heartthrob next door, the perfect boy for young girls to bring home to their parents. But Taylor might have a big issue – he just MIGHT be a diva bitch. Maybe. According to TMZ, Taylor is suing a company that makes those fancy, tricked-out trailers for movie stars to use while they’re on a film set. Taylor had his fancy trailer ordered, and this company didn’t deliver on time. So Taylor is suing for “emotional distress” and “annoyance”.
Taylor Lautner claims he’s suffering from “emotional distress” and “annoyance” … because his RV trailer wasn’t delivered on time.
In a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Lautner claims he made a deal with McMahon’s RV to purchase a personal trailer for around $300,000 … a trailer he could use while shooting his new movie, “Abduction.”
According to the suit, the deal was that the trailer would be tricked out and delivered by no later than June 21 … but it wasn’t.
Lautner claims breach of contract and fraud and wants unspecified damages.
[From TMZ]
Apparently, the lawsuit is for $7 million…? Maybe. Eh. That’s how I feel about this. Sure, it was breach of contract and I get that Taylor has the “right” to sue. But does he have to sound like such a big f-cking baby? Maybe he’s just acting out to get attention. Maybe he wants Robert Pattinson to roughly man-handle him again. That will make the emotional distress go away.
His mind or attitude has nothing to do with the things that I want him for. We can put some duct tape over his mouth if he gets bitchy. Like Alice from Stepbrothers said, I just wanna roll him up and stick him in my vagina and let him live there.
He is such a whiner. And aeonflex there is no accounting for taste but I hope he doesn’t show up on Hot Guy Friday…usually I find gay men hot but he doesn’t give me the least bit of quiver. I am so not Team Taylor.
@aenflex: um, not the visual I needed at lunch. @Taylor Lautner: it sounds like you are a giant p*ssy… maybe he wants to go ahead an purchase tricked out trailer because he knows as soon as stupid twilight wraps it will be the last of his acting life and he will need somewhere to live. Maybe he can park it next to Pam Anderson’s.
If this is true…How do you get a $7 million lawsuit on a trailer only worth $300K??????
If they didn’t deliver as promised, they should offer a discount and a loaner until it’s ready, or refund his money completely and cancel the order. A lawsuit, and a huge one at that? Please.
Emotional distress? Oh, the suffering! Annoyance? If you could sue for annoyance, I’d have to include him in my lawsuit against all things Twilight.
I’ve seen him a few times in “behind the scenes” making of Twilight. At that time he appeared professional and ready to do a take again if the director wanted.
If you pay a significant sum for something that you want, you expect the company to be professional and deliver. If not, then they need to compensate you somehow by reducing the price etc. If he’s suing for $3 million, please, that’s ridiculous. But to demand compensation for breach of contract is not out of line.
He clearly needs a spanking.
spanking, sticking and duct tape, all in one thread.
he doesn’t gaydar to me in the slightest.
also, I like his suit.
I need a suit.
He’s not good looking and probably is a whiny kid.
In his defense, its probably his dad or mom. Isnt he one of those child stars whose parents manage him? I bet its not really him who made that decision to sue.
Please, if you held him upside down the change in his pockets would fall out and make a twinkity, twink, twink sound. I always felt he could might be a spoiled brat.
he is bad-ass and knows what he wants and deserves…..better than being a cracked out mess and crying that his life sucks…he knows that his life is good and people better get it right 🙂 Baby or not he has guided his career exactly to how he wants it!
Sorry, he has a pig nose
so he paid $300 thousand for a product that as of today hasn’t been delivered and he gets called a whiny bitch for it? yeah well I would be doing a lot whining to. He has every right to sue.
he’s no twink. not cute enough, not at all.
I’m really not all that interested in defending him due to his complete blandness, but I’ll give you the lawyer’s take: complaints are always full of all manner of nonsense claims, surrounding the actual legit ones. It’s a negotiation tactic. Slap them with a $7mm suit so that you walk away with $750K in the end. And, whatever, the point is that Lautner didn’t write the complaint, his lawyer did and he probably hasn’t even seen it.
So yeah, he sucks, but not because of this.
Body of an adonis, face of a constipated piglet.
The steroidy ones are always the biggest drama queens. Always.
I met him this weekend at a Pittsburgh Pirates game while he was filming Abduction. He was actually really a nice guy, but his security were total douchebags. I was walking around the ball park with my 6 month old and didn’t even know they were filming in that area and Taylor walked by and said “What a cute baby” and my daughter laughed at him and yelled a little and I asked for a photo with him and his security guard PUSHED me and nearly knocked my baby out of my arms and said they’d take away my camera if they found out I had any photos of him on it.
Well bitches just for that I took photos of him while he was filming.
‘I just wanna roll him up, stick him in my vagina and let him live there.’ by aenflex.
That is the best line I’ve heard all week! Thank you!
lucy2: Agreed. If I could sue people for annoying me, I’d be sitting on the f*cking Mt. Everest of cash right now.
Good for you, stinkyfishface! That sounds like totally uncalled for behavior!
They were really obsessive over his security, he had a ton of big black suited bodyguards following him everywhere. I saw them take away several teenage girls cell phones and make them delete the photos they took of him. I mean no offense if you’re shooting in a public place with a ton of teenage girls around with one of the biggest stars of teen movies, people are going to take photos! I was really really surprised though at how tiny he is in real life. I mean he didn’t look more than 5’8 and was very slim. Not beefy like he appeared in Twilight. I’m starting to think that they digitally enhance his abs LOL I wish I had a way to send in the photos
He has never appealed to me, he looks like he tries too hard. The Tom jr reference seems apt.
Jo — I thought it was a potato nose!
do you have to hand over your cell? they have the right to take it from you? if you are taking pictures in a public place?
what if you refused? can they arrest you for taking a picture?
Isn’t he 17? Which makes him a minor. Which means he doesn’t have the capacity to contract or bring suit based on breach of said contract.
I’ve never heard that these trailers that are needed on film sets are actually bought, much less by an actor.
AFAIK the studios rent them. Imagine people shooting in different locations, a few days here, another week there. Would studios halt production until a trailer has made it from A to B? Highly improbable, and a totally strange story.
“Body of an adonis, face of a constipated piglet.”
@kittypants – you made me snort my smoothie with that line! but you’re right – he does look like a constipated piglet.
the perfect boy for young girls to bring home to their parents
well, yeah, in the sense that many parents are reassured when they realize there is No Way In WeHo that boy wants to have sex with their underage daughter.
Spot on, TQB. The only thing we should really fault Lautner for is choosing an over-reaching attorney. This is a small legal dispute that should’ve been handled extra-judicially with a few letters between lawyers. This complaint is ridiculous, but probably not Lautner’s idea.
He’s adorable. I remember when he was on sharkboy and lavagirl and thinking what a nice looking kid he’d be when he grew up. Didn’t dissappoint. Difference is he sends my gaydar off into a frenzy! Oh well (sigh) he is still so pretty to look at
“Please, if you held him upside down the change in his pockets would fall out and make a twinkity, twink, twink sound.”
Love it.
@eja if you’re using it to take pictures of a movie set they can take your phone and make you delete photos so you can’t sell them to a website.
Emotional distress is a generic legal term in lawsuits like this. Annoyance is a new one but he hardly drafted the complaint. It’s a petty but valid suit but the compensation asked for is excessive but hardly surprising… what did that jerk get from McDonalds after driving with their coffee between his legs and spilling it and burning himself? I rest my case. Oh and remember the attorney gets 30% of the settlement.
yes, they don’t call him tom cruise, jr for nothing. He is a total pig face, glad others said it first and a child in my mind anyway.
Huh? Why is he buying a trailer, the studio always pays for everything when your a major star. Lautner has the body but Sparkles has the looks and charisma.
Well, stars do tend to be bitchy little divas, so, um, what’d you expect???
Taylor is still waaaay behind divas like Mariah Carey, et al.
Bad publicity. WTF is he thinking? He went from kinda cute to a whiny wannabe look-at-me-I’m-a-stah with this legal BS. After Twilight ends, so will his career.
Gay + white bread = REALLY boring. I bet he eventually marries a KATE Holmes type.
Yeah, I hate when they turn people into some hearthrob goodie goodie. I like people with their flaws and all. Nothing insane of course. Just do good work.
Well I don’t care about all those kids. I miss James Dean. Period.
“Body of an adonis, face of a constipated piglet.”
LMAO @ Kittypants, couldn’t agree more.
@aenflex. Gawd, I don’t know whether to laugh or hurl. o_O
He looks like one of those puppets in the 60s Thunderbirds.
He wont last long in Hollywood if he does have an attitude like that because he’s not that cute. They picked the right actor to play a dog/wolf in the vampire movies.
Yeah, that’s right. I went there. What of it? Unless he magically grows out of that pug nose and low forehead he’s done at 21.
Wow Taylor really sets off my Gaydar
If Tyra Banks has a fivehead, does Taylor Lautner have a threehead? He does have a bit of a neanderthal look about him.
i agree with jo and gee_gee. i just can’t get past it.
Sets off my gaydar too. As for the lawsuit? Sounds like legal maneuvering moreso than whining. Bet his trailer shows up real quick.
He looks like a llama, and it seems that I’m not the only one who sees the resemblance

Hahaha. I can’t believe there are people who don’t realize he’s gay.
I had to cover Comic-Con last year for work and went to this Q&A with the cast. You should have seen this kid running out to the fans, blowing kisses and acting like Elvis… seriously, he was wearing a scarf around his neck and everything. In the summer heat in San Diego!
I was laughing my ass off while trying to avoid a mob of young girls. It was like Beatlemania.
Damn. The two of them are just funny looking.
They’ve got “the angles…”
Although T-Laut looks pretty awesome in the leather jacket wearing aviators. Very Tom Cruise circa 1985.
@ lucy2 I concur – can’t I just sue the Twilight franchise for the damage done to my quality of life by their very existence?
He’s very cromagnon.
Can’t you just see him sobbing and wringing his little fists? heheheh
He always looks like he’s smelling something nasty.
@LBees: Very Tom Cruise circa 1985.
we said ‘gay’ already 😀
That isn’t being whiny, or even overly-litigious; he is clearly acting within his legal rights under an obvious breach of contract. You always sue for far more than you’ll get because the plaintiff normally gets, what, .50 cents on every dollar or somewhere around that figure (if they’re lucky).
It was one pricey trailer and with a high sum like that- and since they’re def. in the wrong- they’ll probably settle for the cost of a temp. trailer. All he’ll recoup is not having to pay for a temp. trailer.
Smart move, I like him (or his lawyers) more now.
@eja- that really IS a nice suit.
Is it just me or does this dude need a nose job? Edward to!
I would have to say that after waiting for 2days to see him with a 10 and 8 year old girls, and with Mr. Launter riding by in his Escalade aware of this small crowd, that he is very self centered. On the last day of filming in the tiny little town of Brownsville, all reporters and his own security told us that he would be signing autographs to show his apperication for the well behaved group of tweens. Securtiy came set up lights, told everyone to stay calm, which they did. He would be out in five minutes. Could you imagine the kids luck. He was really coming out. OMG! The girls were so excited, then 2 hours later security come back, disappointed themselves, and said that he left, they just found out, he left. No waive, no little drive by, no glimpse. His own Security shed a tear with the little tweens, just as upset as them. They were told to say the he was tired. They said no way, He had been in that trailor for hours, the lawsuit one, being pampered, they said the he is a whinner, and that they noticed he only came out for the pretty highschools girls. Well, ALL OF YOUR FANS MAKE YOU! I know that my little girls are not the only ones that have been crushed, but to make a promise, and repeatly tell these girls, he would be out for sure is just wrong. The first night, after 12 of hours of waiting we were told he had meeting, and the last night we were told he was tired, but security said the he went to dinner with the Steelers. You, Mr Launter you do not have the dedication and love to know how the Steelers are loved. They LOVE their fans, and I’m sure you felt that love for the Steelers at the game. OUR BELOVED STEELERS HAVE DEDICATION AND INTEGRITY!!!GOOD THING YOU DID GO TO DINNER WITH THEM, YOU CAN REALLY LEARN HOW TO TREAT YOUR FANS!!!
