==========================================
A movie with Tom Cruise?!...the highest paid teen actor as well?!...congratulations!
New Moon star Taylor Lautner is in New York City this week to rehearse for his upcoming Dec. 12 appearance on Saturday Night Live.
Lautner, 17, was photographed at JFK Airport on Dec. 7, where he had just arrrived from Los Angeles.
Taylor, who skyrocketed to international fame following his star-making turn as Jacob Black in New Moon, will appear on SNL with musical guest Bon Jovi.
Thanks to his stunning popularity from the Twilight saga, Lautner was just cast as teen superhero Max Steel in an upcoming Paramount Pictures film. In Max Steel, Taylor will play a 19-year-old extreme sports junkie who gets recruited by a secret agency after he gains superhuman powers following a bizarre accident.

Movie execs are clearly wasting no time capitalizing on Lautner's mega-popularity and his athletic good looks.
Taylor, who ate and worked out nonstop to gain 30 pounds of muscle for his role in New Moon, will have to continue his fitness regimen for both Max Steel and the upcoming Twilight sequels.
Lautner has revealed that he must gain an additional 10 pounds of muscle to play Jacob in Breaking Dawn, the fourth installment in the Twilight saga.
"Jacob continually grows throughout the series, so I’m still going to have to put on a little bit more weight," says Taylor. [Editor's note: In the book, Jacob morphs from a baby-faced 6'2" teen to a monstrous 6'7" werewolf.] New Taylor Lautner shirtless photos for New Moon from FilmoFilia
So how much more weight does Lautner need to gain? "I’ll shoot for another 10 [lbs]," he says. "We’ll see what I can do, but I’ll be working hard."
While the idea of having to gain weight for a lucrative job may sound fun, for Lautner, gaining--and retaining--the extra weight has been hard.
"The actual getting into the gym and working out process was easier, but the eating was harder," Taylor recounts. "I had to eat every two hours. At one point, my trainer said, 'Put anything in your mouth. Go to McDonald’s, get the biggest shake possible. I just need to get calories in you.' Because my body fat at the time was only, like, 7.5%."
Meanwhile, New Moon has been tearing up the box office. So far, the vampire romance has grossed almost $500 million worldwide since its Nov. 20 release.
Its sequel, Eclipse, has already been filmed and will be released in June 2010.
New Moon, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart, is in theaters now.
