Taylor Lautner Compares Snow Whites Kristen Stewart And Lily Collins

'They're completely different Snow Whites, so I feel like I don't have to choose one,' he tells MTV News of co-stars' upcoming projects.

Taylor Lautner is living a fairy tale — two of them, to be exact.

Two of the 19-year-old actor's co-stars have lined up separate "Snow White" projects — Kristen Stewart in Universal's "Snow White and the Huntsman" and Lily Collins in Relativity Media's "Snow White" — a casting quirk that had Lautner saying in a recent interview with MTV News, "It's crazy!"

So which project (and which actress) has Lautner's allegiance? Unsurprisingly, both his "Twilight" co-star and his "Abduction" leading lady.

"I'm lucky, because they're completely different Snow Whites, so I feel like I don't have to choose one," he said. "They're completely different stories, and the Snow Whites themselves are totally different."

Lautner's not kidding. Collins' version, co-starring Julia Roberts as the evil queen, will be directed by Tarsem Singh, who described his vision to us thusly: "It's actually like if you looked at Gaudi's architecture, based in England, done like a turn-of-the-century Russian film by an Indian guy." Stewart's project, "Snow White and the Huntsman," stars Charlize Theron as the evil queen and is said to focus more heavily on action and to tweak the familiar tale so Snow White is on the run and protected by the Huntsman. Both flicks are slated to hit theaters next year.

Meanwhile, Collins has also signed on to star in an adaptation of "City of Bones," the first book in the best-selling young-adult series "The Mortal Instruments." Lautner certainly has some experience with bringing wildly popular novels to the big screen, but he said there's not much advice he can give her — because, as he told us, she doesn't need any.

"I don't know if I need to give her advice," Lautner said. "She's going to be able to handle it just fine. I'm very excited."

While he may not dole out any tips, Collins learned a ton from Lautner during the "Abduction" shoot. "I would watch the way he deals with his fans. It's incredible," she told us in January. "We'd be shooting at nights where we finish at 7 in the morning, and one night, we had 600 fans in the middle of nowhere in Pittsburgh waiting outside, and it was probably almost 5 in the morning, and he went out and signed every single autograph. He was always there to be with his fans and to make sure they knew he appreciated them."

Suri Cruise Stocks Up on Dylan's Candy in NYC!

suri1_wide.jpg
Suri Cruise is getting ready for the big 5! The always indulged tot was taken to Dylan's Candy Bar in New York on April 13 to stock up on some birthday goodies. And since her fifth birthday, which is on April 18, is right around the corner from Easter, the lucky little tot got twice the treats!

"Suri was very quiet and a little overwhelmed by all the candy and excitement in the store, but she was well behaved. She is a daddy?s girl," an onlooker tells In Touch. "Because she was with Tom most of the time, he walked her through the store and picked items for her. She was not like the typical kid who says 'Daddy, Daddy I want this!' or 'buy me that!' She was very quiet."

Among the sugary snacks Tom and Katie grabbed for Suri were: chocolate grahams, a bulk bag of M&M?S, 14 personalized chocolate bars, two Vanilla the Bunny plush toys (large and small!) and Egg Lollies. Needless to say, Tom and Katie did not buy her any more Penis Gummies!

LeAnn Rimes Gets Ready for Her Wedding

LR1_wide.jpg
Rumor has it, Grammy-winning singer LeAnn Rimes will tie the knot to actor Eddie Cibrian on Saturday, April 23, in LA.

Given that it?s the second wedding for both LeAnn and Eddie (LeAnn?s divorce from Dean Sheremet was finalized in June, and Eddie officially divorced Brandi Glanville in September) and the salacious circumstances surrounding their courtship ? the pair were still married when they had an affair while filming Northern Lights in 2008 ? the couple has managed to keep mum on many wedding details.

LeAnn has admitted, ?I?ve found a designer.? And she?s insisted on a huge wedding party, which will include Eddie?s two sons with Brandi ? Mason, 7, and Jake, 4 ? and his best friend?s wife.

According to an insider, they are expected to invite around 100 guests to the nuptials.

Reese Witherspoon Says Kissing Sick Robert Pattinson 'Wasn't Pleasant'

'Water for Elephants' actress reveals, 'He did have a very runny nose.'

On camera, the love scenes between Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson in their period drama "Water for Elephants" — which opens in theaters Friday (April 22) — look glamorous and romantic. Behind the scenes, however, it was anything but.

Never mind that both stars were involved in relationships during the filming of the big-screen adaptation (Witherspoon with her now-husband, Jim Toth, and Pattinson with speculated girlfriend Kristen Stewart) but the 24-year-old actor also happened to be fighting a nasty cold.

As the "Twilight" hunk revealed during his "MTV First: Robert Pattinson" special, "The love scene in ['Water for Elephants']: I was doing it when I had a really bad cold." He went on to divulge, "My nose is running all over the place, and it was in one of the additional photography scenes, and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig."

And when his Oscar-winning co-star sat down with us, she confirmed it was just as unsavory as he described. "He did have a very runny nose, yeah," she recalled, adding, "It wasn't appealing; it wasn't pleasant."

Still, the 35-year-old actress knows that even a runny nose wouldn't deter Pattinson's most fervent fans. Her advice for anyone planning on getting close to RPattz on or off camera: "Bring a Sudafed!"

However, when Witherspoon isn't dispensing advice on how to get through a love scene with RPattz, she's enjoying domestic bliss with her husband. In fact, the newlyweds have been finding themselves in the same situation as many couples: compromising what shows to watch on television.

The actress said that while she's had to watch the biker drama series "Sons of Anarchy" against her will, she's now turned into "a big fan." But, there was no need to convince the star to watch "Eastbound and Down," the soon-to-be-retired HBO comedy starring Danny McBride.

" 'Eastbound and Down' makes me laugh," Witherspoon told MTV News. "You gotta love Kenny Powers."

Would you want to make out with Robert Pattinson even if he had a cold? Let us know in the comments section and on Twitter!

A month after his split from Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake has a new hair-raising dilemma.

According to a pal, the single star, 30, who was once known for his mop top, is horrified by his thinning mane ? which could easily ruin his dating game. "He's keeping his hair super-short so no one notices," the friend tells In Touch.

But Justin, who was spotted cozying up to starlet Olivia Wilde in LA on April 2, isn't letting go without a fight. "He's using specially formulated shampoo to promote hair growth," the friend adds. "He certainly doesn't want to go bald!"
