Taylor Lautner and {Patrick Schwarzenegger} were seen enjoying a game of football and exchanging a few gags with friends in Calabasas, Los Angeles on Sunday. The Twilight superstar and the son of the famous action hero became best buddies and both were dressed for action: wearing T-shirts, workout shorts, sport gloves, and sneakers. Lautner and Schwarzenegger recently played as fraternity brothers in Grown Ups 2, the second part movie of the 2010 comedy flick Grown Ups starring Adam Sandler and Salma Hayek. The movie was shot in Boston, Massachusetts over the summer and is scheduled to be released on July 2013.

Patrick Schwarzenegger, who recently showed solidarity to his mother after his parents’ recent split, changed his last name to Shriver on Twitter. The 19–year old actor is studying business, entrepreneurship, and film at the {University of Southern California} http://www.usc.edu/ in Los Angeles; home of the famous NFL New York Giant players Keith Rivers and Terrell Thomas. According to examiner.com, the NYC Giants’ cornerback, Terrell Thomas hosted an all-star poker tournament at the Ontario Airport Hilton a few years ago. The most prominent poker tournament is the World Poker Series but online poker portals such as Partypoker.com give people real game situations in the comfort of their own home, too. It is annually held in Las Vegas and its origin dates back to 1970 in Horseshoe Casino as a single tournament.

The player who wins the event will bring home a World Series of Poker bracelet and a cash prize which depends on the player’s frequency of participation and buy-in amounts. The tournament has become a massive hit across the world. Yearly, the WSOP usually ends with the $10,000 No-limit Hold’em main event, which never fails to draw players. The champion of the World Series of Poker Main Event will be known as the World Champion of Poker. At present, the WSOP is composed of 61 events, composed of famous poker variants, such as Texas Hold’Em and Omaha.

Poker has become a sport for some, as Charles Lamb said, “Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.” But Patrick seems to enjoy playing his favorite sport with his newly found best buddy. Lautner tried to show his humor as he donned a University of California shirt and managed to be a good sport. The two schools, USC and UCLA, are known to be bitter rivals, particularly in the game of football. “Such a fun night… Adderole, Starbucks and s**t ton of note cards… Pulling an all nighter. #finalsweek #finalssuck,” he tweeted recently. Patrick started his own company when he was 15; a clothing line called Project 360 and is also signed with L.A. Models.

Take heart, Twi-hards: Taylor Lautner has a couple of ideas as to how the beloved franchise can live on.

Speaking to MTV News’ Josh Horowitz recently, the 20-year-old actor weighed in when asked how the story could continue.

“How about a musical? That would be fun!” Lautner shared.

“Jackson [Rathbone] was pro-musical as well . . . That makes three of us,” Horowitz quipped.

Or, “What about a reality TV show?” the star suggested.

“How would that work?” Horowitz asked.

“I haven’t thought about that part yet,” Lautner admitted, laughing.

Whatever form future Twilight stories take, Lautner wishes whoever inherits the role of hunky werewolf Jacob well.

“I’ll say ‘Have fun,’ because this character has been unreal to me,” Lautner told MTV News at the Breaking Dawn — Part 2 premiere earlier this week. “Truly, I can’t imagine a cooler character to play over the past few years. Have fun with it and enjoy it.”

Sorry James Bond. Vampires and werewolves are the declared winners of this weekend’s box office race. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has come out on top, scoring $141.3 million its first weekend at the box office. This may not come as a shocker, though, as the final Twilight film brought in an impressive $162.2 million at the global box office on its opening day. And in the United States, it earned $71.2 million (that includes $30.4 million for all Thursday shows starting at 10 PM and midnight shows).

It is a huge debut for the film and the eighth biggest opening weekend of all-time! Overall, the worldwide estimate for the film is $340.9 million ($141.3 million in North American + $199.6 million internationally). Breaking Dawn – Part 2 posted the second highest weekend opening out of theTwilight franchise behind New Moon at $142.8 million, and the franchise now has three of the top nine openings of all time.

But it doesn’t end there. Breaking Dawn – Part 2 pushed Lionsgate’s 2012 domestic gross over the $1 billion mark for the first time. And Lionsgate has become only the seventh company to ever cross the billion dollar plateau. Also, Lionsgate is the first company to ever have two films (Breaking Dawn – Part 2 and The Hunger Games) open to over $125 million in the same year.

No one’s ever cheated on Taylor Lautner.

“I’ve never been involved in any of those situations,” the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 star says in the December issue of Cosmopolitan.

But when it comes to reconnecting with an ex (ahem, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson), “I absolutely think it’s possible,” he tells the magazine. “If it was a long, serious relationship, I think it’s quite easy to rekindle. I guess it depends on what damage has been done.”

“There’s no ex out there who I’m not friends with today,” he continues, “and I’m extremely thankful for that.”

What does it take to have a successful relationship with Lautner, 20? “Honesty and loyalty are key,” he says of his crucial qualities.

“I like to think of myself as very loyal,” he says, “and I love everyone I surround myself with, whether they’re friends or girlfriends or whatever.”

Of his costar and friend who’s been closely watched since her cheating scandal, Lautner adds, “Kristen in fantastic at everything she does. I’m always proud of her.”

Can you believe that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is almost here? We at Hollywood.com can hardly contain our excitement over the imminent arrival of the latest chapter of Stephenie Meyers’ blockbuster vampire saga, which finally opens in theaters tomorrow. In celebration of this blessed event, we’ve been running exclusive interviews with Breaking Dawn castmembers all week — and we’ve saved the very best saved for last. Today we’ve got none other than Jacob Black himself, Taylor Lautner, who spoke with our correspondent Heather Huntington about the mysterious process known as “imprinting” and how his character finally came to grips with losing out on Bella Swan (hint: it involved multiple trips to werewolf strip clubs): You can watch the video HERE!

Our host, Hollywood.com, is releasing exclusive interviews with the cast of Breaking Dawn every day this week to celebrate the film’s release on Friday.

Alex Morris‘ “Fight Like a Pretty Boy,” published in February’s fashion issue, is the story that caught Mr. Lautner’s eye.

It’s not hard to see what Mr. Lautner would see there. It describes an illegal Chinatown boxing club where “most of the fighters in the lineup are lovely enough to turn heads, and some of them have made money on it.” On Friday nights, hundreds of downtown types pony up $20 to see male models in the ring against real street fighters and boxers.
