Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner is reportedly negotiating a big contact with Giorgio Armani to be the face and body (and what a hot body!?!) of a new fragrance and affordable line of clothing, A/X Armani Exchange.

“Giorgio has offered Taylor a deal rumored to be worth millions for the ads,” the insider reveals. And although a rep for Taylor denies the story, the insider adds, “Taylor is flattered and really considering it.”

They say Taylor has big shoes to fill after David Beckman’s successful underwear ads, but we say Taylor would sell more and create bigger crowds than David was ever able to. David is a soccer player (who cares about soccer?) and Taylor is one of the biggest, hottest movie stars of the moment!

Actress Amanda Bynes looks absolutely awkwardly Photoshopped on the cover of the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine (January 2010). Amanda is such a beautiful girl that we cannot understand why would someone attempt to put her head on someone else’s body!

Anyway Amanda talks about her desire to have a long acting career and what she looks for in a man, someone to share something more special with. Here are some highlights:

On her career: “I’m at that stage where I’m still young and maybe naive, but I’m figuring it out. All I want is to continue – to have a long career. I want to do stuff that I’m passionate about.”

On what she wants in a potential relationship: “I want someone who’ll be there and who I can trust – that’s really important to me.”

Here is the official poster for Miley Cyrus’ much-anticipated new movie “The Last Song”, based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks with the same title, which hits theaters on April 2, 2010. [WATCH "The Last Song" Trailer]

Miley apparently completely fell in love with her co-star, Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth (read more details) while they were shooting the movie and the two have been caught making out at the Nashville airport a few months ago. They make such a cute couple!!

Here is the official music video for Selena Gomez‘s second single “Naturally” off her debut album “Kiss & Tell“. The video is all about fashion, feeling good in your own skin and be natural. Just be you! Selena looks absolutely stunning!

Candice Accola’s Caroline has been having a rough time onscreen lately. The Vampire Diaries actress has had her character become a living blood bank to satisfy Damon Salvatore’s thirst. After freeing him from the dungeon, Damon (played perfectly by Ian Somerhalder) has thrown her aside alive, thankfully! Caroline is leaning on Matt (Zach Roerig) for support and maybe a little more. Accola weighs in on whether Caroline is ready for another boyfriend/romance/hook-up so quickly after her nightmare time with Damon:

“I don’t think Caroline needs a boyfriend, unless he’s going to be really good to her,” she told Hollywood Crush. “I think she’s got a lot on her plate between her friend’s a witch now [Bonnie played by Katerina Graham] … and getting over a relationship with her mother and her estranged father, who ran off with his lover. I think she’s got a full plate… but if it’s good love, that can never hurt.”

I loved the chemistry between Somerhalder and Accola so I hope there is more to come – a little revenge for Caroline would be super fun.

The Vampire Diaries are on hiatus until January 2010  *sigh*

And Happy Birthday to Ian Somerhalder!

Ashley Tisdale bundled up and headed to Toluca Lake’s Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for a quick caffeine fix. The High School Musical star looked casual and comfy for her frozen drink run.
