If you haven't followed the Taylor Lautner trailer situation, here is the gist --Taylor paid to have a trailer customized and tricked out to use while filming Abduction. The company he ordered it from did not make the deadline or provide the customization in the contract. So, Taylor was "annoyed" and "emotionally distressed" and decided to sue. Then, Taylor's lawyer tried to settle everything for $40,000. The shop owner came back with a ridiculous push-up contest, saying the winner should donate $40,000 to charity.The Associated Press reported today that the situation is settled and $40,000 will be donated to Lollipop Theater Network in settlement of Lautner's claim, sans push-up contest.
So, we hear DJ Qualls (your co-star) hand-picked you to play Stefanie?And here was her advice to girls that look up to her.
DJ and I have been best friends for I don’t even know how long now… since I was a kid! He was actually approached with the script before I was and they asked who he thought should play Stefanie and he said me.
What a great friend! The movie is so intense. Did you sign onto it right away?
There was a bit of resistance at first because I sort of carry around this weird false image that I can only play the hot or intimidatingly beautiful girl, which is just really strange because I’m not intimidatingly beautiful. I think just when you play those characters, people start to see you as that. And so I went in and met with them and they were like, “Oh, she’s not that beautiful. We can give her this role.”
Ok, Nikki. You’re just being humble.
(Laughs). I thought that it was just gonna be an easy breezy situation because DJ and I were so close, but it was really interesting to see how heavy it became just due to the nature of the project and how little time we had [to film it].
Ok, so aside from getting braces, what advice would you give gURLs who also feel like they don’t really fit in?so head over and read more at gURL.com.
I think it’s important for people to experience. I don’t like when advice is given and it just feels so unrealistic, like, “Oh, just stay true to yourself and don’t ever join the cool crowd.” So just experiment and experience everything, but to a limit. Mildly. See things and do things but don’t lose yourself and don’t forget yourself in the process because it’s really so minor in the grand scheme of things.
Taylor Lautner has reportedly settled his lawsuit against McMahon RV and donated the $40,000 to a children’s charity.
At the center of the controversy was a trailer that Lautner claims the company failed to deliver after he ordered it for the shoot of his film Abduction. McMahon disputed his claim.
The actor reached an agreement with the RV firm on Friday, according to Us Weekly, and will donate the money to the Lollipop Theater Network, an organization that brings movies currently in theaters to children who are confined to hospitals.
Brent McMahon originally challenged Lautner to resolve the matter with a push-ups competition, which the actor’s attorney, Robert Barta, said demonstrated McMahon’s “lack of professionalism.”
Q: So how do you see it playing out in your mind (the movie version of Breaking Dawn)?You can also read more about Stephenie’s thoughts about the BD love scenes and she discusses having her books censored, and how she feels about it. Listen to the audio over at Twifans.
SM: It’s interesting. I think it’ll be very like the book from Bella’s perspective. So it’ll be what SHE’S seeing of the scene and everything. Which is actually more like Forever Dawn, because we have Jacob’s perspective. (Note: Forever Dawn was Stephenie’s original sequel to Twilight, which skips ahead in Bella’s life, with more mature themes. Some of Forever Dawn became a loose outline for Breaking Dawn.) And I don’t think that the Jacob perspective will be nearly as pronounced in the movie. Yeah, it made me a little bit sad. I think we’re going to get some good moments. But they feel like they have to keep it Bella and Edward-centric…..so. I mean, I can see that.
[Meghan?]: He’s got some good stuff though. (“He” meaning Jacob)
SM: Yeah, he does. He has some good moments. It’s alright guys. (Stephenie soothes the anxious group over Breaking Dawn worries!)
