Taylor Lautner Talks About Fans Following Him

Taylor Lautner is now doing PR for the Abduction DVD release on January 7. Here’s what he had to say about fans:

Jason Isaacs said the hardcore fans were camped out on the set every day to get a glimpse of you in the car…

“There was a lot of fans on set. I think probably the highlight, we were actually there for a week. We were filming in a random city called Sutterville and there was a population of six hundred people and one night we had over eight hundred girls on set. So, there was definitely a few people driving in from different cities. It was pretty impressive. There were some great fans there in Sutterville.”

How do you handle that? You can’t talk to all of them.

“I found a way to. It was tiring because we were actually filming nights there. So, you show up at 8PM and work until 5AM. At 5AM I would go out and there would literally be eight hundred people down the street. I would go out and pretty much take pictures with all of them. It took about an hour and we tried to do it fast. Doing it fast for eight hundred people was still an hour. But it was important to me.”

Any crazy fan encounters?

“No, nothing crazy. I think that I had like three hundred people in my front lawn at one point, but that was about it.”

That’s not crazy at all.

(Laughs) “They were behaved fans though.”

Taylor Lautner People Magazine Cover is Fake

Taylor Lautner is not coming out in the January 7th issue of People Magazine. Apparently a manip (manipulated photo) that had its origins on Tumblr somehow got picked up by a variety of news services as legit. It is in fact A FAKE. The photo itself is real enough having been part of the New Moon PR campaign, but the text is entirely bogus. Gossip Cop has full details.

Merry Christmas 2011: A Stephenie Meyer Short Story

Remember fall 2006? New Moon had only just been published. There was no movie. There was no wild buzz in every corner of the Internet. There was no official release date with in-store midnight parties. There were just two books in a series that was yet to be called The Twilight Saga.

Stephenie Meyer wrote an article for Ensign Magazine, the magazine of the LDS church, about the spirit of Christmas. It has become the Lexicon’s traditional Christmas post.

A very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year to you and your families.
