In a last ditch effort to convince Twilight producers he should return in the sequel, New Moon, as a bigger and more mature werewolf Jacob Black, Taylor Lautner is packing on the pounds.

“I have been working out,” Lautner proclaimed, proudly. “I’ve been working out since the day we finished filming Twilight. I just weighed myself today; I’ve put on 19 pounds.”

Poor Taylor Lautner.

He had one brief shining moment of glory and then got booted.

Summit executives don’t want to have the scrawny little Twilight star back for New Moon and the film’s new director Chris Weitz is reportedly already out to get Scorpion King 2 actor Michael Copon to play the new, bigger, badder Jacob Black.

And he’s not the only new star in the mix.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
