Following the modest success of the first movie, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief, the sequel is finally moving forward with Logan Lerman set to reprise his role as the title hero.

The 19 year-old actor has had his option picked up by the studio (he is contracted for three Percy films with Fox 2000) and will have a new director for this film. Thor Freudenthal who helmed Diary of a Wimpy Kid takes over from Chris Columbus and new writers have been brought on board for the script for Percy Jackson & The Sea of Monsters, the second book in the series by Rick Riordan.

Lerman is currently finishing work on The Perks of Being A Wallflower with Emma Watson and Nina Dobrev in Pennsylvania and has The Three Musketeers coming out in October.

Taylor Lautner walked the red carpet for the 2011 MTV Movie Awards at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

The Twilight Saga stud wore a black shirt and jacket with dark gray pants all from Dolce & Gabbana at the event.

Lautner and his Eclipse costars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, presented a new teaser trailer from Breaking Dawn featuring Bella and Edward’s wedding and honeymoon (see that video here.)

The 18 year-old was also in host Jason Sudeikis‘ opening spoof of the Hangover II and he got a big kiss from Robert Pattinson during the ceremony.

Kellan Lutz may have to endure a long layover with Camilla Belle for their next movie.

Both stars are in negotiations to join the indie drama/comedy ensemble cast of Bumped, a film about five strangers who come together over a very long flight delay set at Chicago’s O’Hare airport.

Angus T. Jones is in Washington DC to help kick off The Creative Coalition and WWE’s ‘Be A STAR’ Anti-Bullying Campaign.

The initial dinner, held at The Washington Club in the nation’s capital, brought out the Two and A Half Men star in the fight against bullying.

From the press release: “The mission of “be a STAR” —which stands for ‘Show Tolerance And Respect’—is to ensure a positive and equitable social environment for everyone regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation through grassroots efforts beginning with education and awareness. “be a STAR” will promote positive methods of social interaction and encourage people to treat others as equals and with respect because everyone is a star in their own right.”

Jones, who has been on quite a break from his hit TV show, looks like he took the Charlie Sheen-free time off to work out a little extra and he looks great!

The 17 year-old actor’s job is up in the air until CBS and Warner Bros. sort out what they are going to do without Sheen. No decision has been made if they will replace Sheen with another actor or cancel the show all together.

Working on a hit Broadway musical with 8 shows a week leaves you little spare time so it’s no big surprise that Daniel Radcliffe won’t be up Friday to watch the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

“I won’t be getting up at 4AM to watch the wedding. I’ll catch the highlights on CNN because they’ll be running something 24/7,” the Harry Potter actor told Celebuzz.

The British actor does send out well wishes for the famous couple.

“I am very happy for them. I wish them all the happiness in the world,” Radcliffe said.

While he wasn’t invited to the wedding and will sleep through it, Daniel did get some other good news today.

The 21 year-old is among the nominees for a 2011 Drama League Award for his role in the revival of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Congratulation to Daniel.

Glee star Chris Colfer is adding one more notch to his resume.

The 20 year-old actor has written and sold a TV pilot to Disney based on the kids book The Little Leftover Witch, by Florence Laughlin. The storyline follows a young witch who takes a tumble off her broom and has to stay with the human Doon family for one year  because witches can only fly on Halloween night.

Colfer has written (and sold) a screenplay before. Struck by Lightning, the indie movie he penned, will film after the Glee tour he’s about to embark on with the cast.

The talented Colfer has done all this before his 21st birthday (May 27th FYI.)

What’s up next Chris?

Logan Lerman is grabbing another movie lead.

The 19 year-old has signed on to star in The Only Living Boy in New York, directed by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses.)

The movie is described as “a twisted coming-of-age tale in which a young man (Lerman) learns that his overbearing father is having an affair. The son tries to stop it, only to become involved with the woman as well.”

Lerman will start filming this shortly after he finishes The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which just added The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev to the cast with Emma Watson and Mae Whitman already on board.

The Percy Jackson star is also in the summer release The Three Musketeers and said this film adaptation is “badass.”

“It’s much more badass,” he said. “We definitely wanted to up the action, and give it a cooler spin. A well deserved cooler spin. This is nothing that anyone’s going to expect when thinking about the long line of D’Artagnans, and how much older they were than the character is.”

David Henrie was a presenter at the 32nd Annual College Television Awards held at the Renaissance Hotel Hollywood in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 9th. The competition is presented by the Emmys Foundation and recognizes excellence in college students who produce video, digital and film entries.

The 21 year-old actor has booked an exciting pilot for CBS. Henrie will be one of The Assistants to Heather Locklear in the show about four young (you guessed it!) assistants to a neurotic celebrity (Locklear) and her husband. Let’s hope it gets picked up and makes it to the Fall 2011 TV line-up.

The Wizards of Waverly Place actor also tested for the part of Peeta in The Hunger Games however it went to Josh Hutcherson instead.

Darren Criss hit the red carpet for the 32nd Annual College Television Awards held at the Renaissance Hotel Hollywood in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 9th.

The competition is presented by the Emmys Foundation and recognizes excellence in college students who produce video, digital and film entries.

Criss told Access Hollywood he’s heard the rumors about the Warblers getting their own TV show and said he’s happy either way; staying on Glee or breaking off for the spin off.

“I’m just happy to be invited to the party. A spin-off, whatever they want, I’m happy where I am,” Criss said.

““I think Blaine serves a really cool function in the grander scheme of ‘Glee,’ so I don’t think we need to focus particularly — you know, but if they want to do it, hey, I’m down! Whatever they want,” he added.
