Gossip Teen

Lily Collins has grabbed up a role in big screen adaptation of YA novel City Of Bones. The Blind Side actress has just landed the deal to star in the film that Scott Charles Stewart will direct. Stewart and Collins have worked together before on the clergyman- turned-vampire-hunter movie Priest, starring Paul Bettany and Cam Gigandet.

While the original article doesn’t say specifically which role she has (it says only “set to star”) I believe that means Collins will have the Clary Fray role (not Isabella Lightwood.) She definitely fits the physical description of Clary – 15 year old, red hair and freckles – more than Isabella.

Along with Priest, Collins also has Abduction with Taylor Lautner coming out in 2011.

I love Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments series and look forward to more casting on this.

Lily Collins and Taylor Lautner have been flying waaaay under the radar as a couple for a few months now and Collins decided it’s time for Taylor to meet her folks. Lily’s dad is drummer Phil Collins and like my most fathers he keeps a close eye on who dates his little girl:

‘He (Phil)’s pretty tough on the guys Lily introduces him to,’ one insider revealed of the budding starlet’s protective dad.

‘Taylor was nervous about meeting him, but they got along well.’

The two met on the set of their film Abduction but didn’t start dating right away.

Collins has reportedly visited the Breaking Dawn set to spend time with Taylor and still the two manage to keep their dates out of the spotlight. Well played!

Things have been all quiet on the Taylor Lautner front for a while but that is about to change. The Twilight Saga star is hitting every tabloid with rumors that he is dating his Abduction costar, Lily Collins and now there is a sneak peek at the movie.

First the dating rumors: They originally surfaced back in July as the two were filming together in Pennsylvania. Collins, 21, who is the daughter of Genesis drummer Phil Collins and starred in The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock, was reportedly dating a stuntman and left her then boyfriend after meeting Lautner. Lautner was thought to have ended his romance with on-again off-again girlfriend Sarah Hicks before he began filming and met Collins. Those reports were denied and no sightings of the two together so the story died down. Here we are in November and reports are flying again that the two are indeed, a twosome and that Collins and Lautner have been on the down low for 4 months. If true – well played, young friends!

Abduction - photo and new synopsis: Thanks to Collider.com the brand new image of Tay and Lily with her arms wrapped around him as they huddle in the corner, we have our first view at the John Singleton (Boyz n the Hood) directed spy thriller. The new synopsis of the action film:

What would you do if you found your own picture on a missing persons website?  Teen Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) finds himself facing this very dilemma. Setting out to uncover his real identity, Nathan quickly learns his parents are far from who they say they are. When the police, government agents and shadowy figures start to pursue him, Nathan’s quest for the truth erupts into a full-blown “Bourne”-like man-on-the-run thriller.

The film still doesn’t have a release date (sometime in 2011) but has an amazing cast: Signourey Weaver, Jason Issacs, Danny Glover and Alfred Molina all costar with the young actors.

Lautner is currently in New Orleans filming the last two installments of the Twilight series: Breaking Dawn but are you ready to see Lautner portray someone other than Jacob Black? Does this initial photo make you want to watch him in Abduction?

Logan Lerman and Lily Collins are part of Teen Vogue’s Young Hollywood Class of 2010. The teen stars have some amazing projects lined up for the 2010/2011 movie year:

Collins, who first got your attention in The Blind Side, has been filming Abduction with Taylor Lautner. She is also in the upcoming film, Priest with Cam Gigandet (my personal favorite ex-Twilight cast member.)

Lerman gets to go back to school with Emma Watson in the Perks of Being a Wallflower and is D’Artagnan in The Three Musketeers 3-D.

Actress Lily Collins, the daughter of Phil Collins, has been nominated by Vanity Fair Magazine as one of the 2010’s “Women To Watch Out For” among other stars like gorgeous Vanessa Hudgens or beautiful and sweet Selena Gomez.

Lily Collins - She’s as affable and wide-eyed as her famous dad, rock musician Phil, is menschy. The tweener set knows her as the party girl Phoebe on90210 and as the host of Nickelodeon’s Hollywood Hang,on which she interviews the network’s stars. She’s done it all while attending the University of Southern California and writing the occasional magazine or newspaper piece on the side. This fall saw her moving into the big leagues, playing Sandra Bullock’s daughter inThe Blind Side. Next up isPriest, based on a Korean comic book about a post-apocalyptic world made up of humans and vampires. With a million more people to meet, and who knows how many movies in her future, Collins can barely contain herself. “I always find myself wishing I was on set,” she gushes breathlessly. “I look forward to getting dirty, getting lost in the moment. I get really excited just talking about it!”

Lily, who made her movie debut in “The Blind Side”, dreams of pursing an acting career but, of course, that won’t stop her from getting her degree at the University of Southern California.
