Taylor Lautner may really be a werewolf – after reporters at a New Moon press conference asked the actor about his love life, he nearly growled in response.

“What about us?” Lautner countered. “The very funny thing is that all of you have seen every single move I have made so I guess I can leave that up to you to decide.”

It could be that Lautner is especially sensitive to the issue after seeing what Twilight co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have dealt with from the media concerning their alleged relationship. The pair have done press conferences separately to avoid the inevitable relationship questions.

A source told the New York Daily News, “They’ve requested to do press separately for the movie. They really are good friends – and that’s all –  but they want to avoid being seen together. Any time they’re photographed in the same place, the rumor mill just starts all over again, and that makes the paparazzi hound them even more. They requested to do things apart so the scrutiny around them will be a little less intense.”

For her part, Taylor Swift made light of the rumors in her monologue song on Saturday Night Live, singing to the audience, “If you’re wondering if I might/ Be dating the werewolf from ‘Twilight’/ I’m not gonna comment on that/ In my monologue,” after which Swift blew a kiss into the camera and mouthed “Hi Taylor.”

The pair became rumor mill fodder after taping kissing scenes for the upcoming movie Valentine’s Day, in which the pair plays a high-school couple.

Swift, who turns 20 this year, may be handling fame a little better than Lautner due to the fact that she has been a signed musical artist since age 13. Lautner recently rose to fame as his character took on a leading role in New Moon, the sequel to Twilight.

Lautner caused a fan frenzy after promotional photos for the movie were released showing Lautner’s six-pack abs. The actor confirmed that he had put on 30 pounds for the role and had not had ab-sculpting or ab-shaping liposuction to get the sought-after look. He also said he would not be taking more shirtless movie roles. “If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie,” Lautner told AceShowbiz.com. “But I guess that’s not very realistic. I certainly won’t be asking to do it, though.”

Taylor Swift worked double-duty on her stint as Saturday Night Live musical guest and host this past weekend, performing two songs and participating in a number of skits.

Fans and those who saw the Kanye West VMA microphone hijack got a laugh during Swift’s monologue song when she quipped, “You might be expecting me to say/ Something bad about Kanye/ And how he ran up on the stage/ But there’s nothing more to say/ ‘Cause everything’s OK/ I’ve got security lining the stage.”

And Twilight fans got a nod when she referenced her media-rumored boyfriend Taylor Lautner, singing “If you’re wondering if I might/ Be dating the werewolf from ‘Twilight’/ I’m not gonna comment on that/ In my monologue,” mouthing a “Hi Taylor” into the camera.

Swift was featured in skits parodying Jon and Kate Plus Eight, Twilight, and Colombian singer Shakira, who also has curly blonde hair.

Unlike some of her country music counterparts, including American Idol’s Kelly Pickler, Swift has had no plastic surgery. Even though Pickler is just 22 years old, during the fifth season of American Idol the hopeful country music star debuted a bigger cup size on one memorable episode that even had host Ryan Seacrest asking questions, but Pickler wouldn’t fess up to anything, saying she loved the attention and wanted to drag it out as long as she could.

“I’m a girl that likes to be the center of attention, and right now I am, so I feel like maybe I should let the mystery live on,” said Pickler in the May 28 issue of OK!. “If I say yes or no, nobody’s going to care anymore.  I’m going to keep playing this game with everybody.”

In addition, photos from earlier this year showed Pickler with a wide-eyed new look that suggested Botox and lip fillers, but reps for Pickler told In Touch that she hasn’t had any sort of “facial surgery.”
