Taylor Lautner To Work With Gus Van Sant

Taylor Lautner is set to join up with director Gus Van Sant for a small-budget independent movie.

The 'Abduction' actor is close to agreeing a deal to team up with the 'Milk' filmmaker on a movie based on a non-fiction article in The New Yorker magazine that the 'Twilight' star has optioned.

The 19-year-old Hollywood hunk is expected to take his career in a new direction with the project, which is set to be produced via his Quick Six production company, which he runs with his father Dan Lautner.

Plot details of the movie are yet to be disclosed, but it is thought filming is planned for the first quarter of next year.

The movie is expected to differ from the 'Twilight Saga' franchise, in which the Hollywood actor portrays werewolf Jacob Black.

Earlier this year, Taylor starred in 'Abduction' - which tells the story of a boy who finds his image in a missing person's file.

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1', the penultimate movie in the vampire franchise, is set to hit screens on November 18.

Kelly Clarkson's Songs Not All Personal


'Breakup Anthem Queen' Kelly Clarkson's sad songs aren't all drawn from personal experience.

Kelly Clarkson's breakup songs aren't all drawn from personal experience.

The 'Mr. Know It All' hitmaker doesn't mind being called the Breakup Anthem Queen - as she thinks songs about the end of relationships are "sassy" - but hasn't had dated enough guys to keep writing laments to her own lost loves.

She told MTV: "I love a feisty song. I like to be sassy. That's usually a breakup song. It's really in your face. I just end up writing it more that way because it's better for mainstream radio.

"A lot of times, if I'm writing, a lot of people think that's about a guy; it's not actually about that. It's more about my work environment. I write 'metaphorically speaking' a lot.

"I actually haven't dated in a while, so there's no breakup song for me on there."

Kelly, 29, can relate to her sadder tracks, however, as the pain of one particular breakup with a "loser guy" is still fresh in her mind.

She added: "I have been through one breakup that was real crappy. I think that'll last me for a lifetime, so I'm good.

"He was just a really loser guy and that kind of whole situation. I don't know what was wrong with me. I was never in love with him. We're completely different. I don't even know why.

"I think that is how lonely you get sometimes, when you're like, 'Well, you don't look so bad.' That was bad, but I got a lot of songs out of it!"

Kelly's fifth album 'Stronger' is out now.

Pixie Lott Planning To Write With British Stars


Pixie Lott is hoping to team up with both Jessie J and Ed Sheeran to work on some new songs.

Pixie Lott wants to write songs with Jessie J and Ed Sheeran.

After recording her second album in the US, the 'All About Tonight' singer is keen to collaborate with fellow British stars for her next record.

She said: "Me and Ed are going to try to do some writing together. I joined him on stage at one of his shows recently so we have vowed to start writing some songs next.

"Jessie J too, we were meant to have a writing session years ago but our schedules didn't meet. We have to try and make it happen at last."

Pixie did, however, have a great experience making new album 'Young Foolish Happy' in California, in particular getting to work with soul legend Stevie Wonder on one song.

She added to the Daily Star newspaper: "We met through a friend and I found it all overwhelming. When we met he held my hand for ages; I guess it's just to feel your aura. We wrote a song called 'Stevie on the Radio' and he played harmonica on it.

"I'm thinking about my next tour. I always sing Stevie's 'Isn't She Lovely' live so I'd like to do more covers of his."

'Young Foolish Happy' is released on November 14.
