While Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were enjoying their Italian dinner in Italy over the weekend, their New Moon co-star Taylor Lautner was here in SoCal enjoying an Italian dinner of his own with a male friend in Burbank, CA. Here are a couple pics of Taylor and his bud making their exit from the Olive Garden yesterday afternoon:

Awww … poor Taylor. As I recall from the book New Moon, there was no reason for Jacob Black to be in Italy so that means that Taylor is stuck here in SoCal while the other kids are playing in Italy. While they are supping on real Italian food, he’s stuck here with Olive Garden and his Playstation 3 video games. Ah well … he’ll get to play with the other cool New Moon kids soon enough. In the meantime, he’s got easy access to those amazing breadsticks that Olive Garden has to offer … so really, who wins?

whoever gets to eat those breadsticks and salad and pasta wins :)
maybe i’ll get THAT for dinner…
I am so solidly on Team Edward that most of New Moon was just painful for me, but I love Taylor. I’m glad after all the hubbub that he got to keep the part, because he seems like a real sweetie.
no takeout bag of the extra breadsticks? I’m disappointed.
olive garden compared to italy? i dunno. i think he got the short end of the stick.
Damn Taylor is hot! I might be about 7 years older but I would totally throw myself at him like a 14 year old girl! He is definately missing out on Italy, might be a nice break from filming tho?!
@ Glou HAHAHA Thats the first thing that popped in my mind!
he looks like his girl selena G lol! sorry that was mean but ever since some1 pointed out they look alike, i can’t stop seeing it :)
Let’s see if I can remember how to do this -
Olive Garden : authentic Italian :: McDonald’s : authentic Scottish
Is that right, Trent? It’s been 100 years since I took an English class.
lol i would rather be at olive garden with taylor than in italy with rob, go team jacob!! (and yes sadly i know how the books end)
It’s a case of, if you can’t be in the place you love, love the place you’re in.
i am just so happy hes away from vancover and not with selena…ha ha my plan worked!~
seriously he is super cute, but still not how i picture jacob black. i REALLY hope new moon is much better than twilight, although i am disappointed in how it sounds like they’ve changed it. honestly i’d be happy with any changes as long as they ditched that completely emotionless talentless greasebag kristen stewart.
I absolutly don’t like Taylor but i was happy that he was able to continue being Jacob. he’s got a great body but an ugly face. Robert Pattinson all the way!
Wow!! I’m amazed the media isn’t throwing tabloids out there with a rumor of Taylor dumping Selena for this guy because he’s discovered he is gay or coming out of the closet & Taylena was just a hype up… lolll…
This guy could almost pass as Solomon Trimble who originally played Sam in Twilight….with a shocking hair cut! Anyone else agree? If it is, why would he so silly enough to cut that gorgeous mop! My gawd…
Bella Black
I like the Olive Garden. I like hulks. And I like gays. They wrote it like it was something wrong with that. These drama nets are getting stupider by the minute. And by the way I like Taylor. Your so right on it Bella Black. Just say what your implying and get over yourselfves! If he was by hisself something would be wrong with that picture too.
