New Moon hunk Taylor Lautner showed off his killer karate and break-dance moves while hosting Saturday Night Live (SNL) on Dec. 12 in NYC. In the monologue, Lautner, 17, reimagines how he would've reacted at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when Kanye West interrupted Taylor's rumored girlfriend, Taylor Swift, during a speech. Taylor, who is quickly emerging as the new Hollywood It Boy, famously gained 30 pounds of muscle to play the muscular werewolf Jacob Black. For now, Lautner will be busy working out, shooting and promoting New Moon and its sequels Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. So far, New Moon has raked in a staggering $583 million worldwide since its Nov. 20 release. New Moon, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart, is in theaters now.

New Moon star Taylor Lautner is reportedly being considered to become the next face of Giorgio Armani menswear.

Taylor, who gained 30 pounds of muscle to play the hulking Jacob Black in New Moon and its sequels, has become an international sex symbol since Twilight debuted in 2008. In early December, Taylor was cast to play teen superhero Max Steel in an upcoming Paramount Pictures film. For now, with his acting career on a major upswing, Taylor will be busy until at least 2012, filming and promoting Twilight sequels Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. New Moon, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart, is in theaters now.

True Blood hottie Alexander Skarsgard says Eric Northman, his vampire alter ego on the hit HBO series, will explore his Viking roots this season. The story line won't stray too far from Skarsgård's own Scandinavian background. Alexander was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, before making the Hollywood A-list in 2008 after being cast on True Blood. The gorgeous 6'4" Alexander will once again show off his superfit physique this season as his character has more provocative sex scenes with both male and female characters. "There's a lot of nudity [in Season 3]," Skarsgård promises. "There's going to be a lot violence and a lot of sex [for Eric] -- with women and men! So it should be interesting."

Skarsgård, who has been voted the Sexiest Man in Sweden for the past five years, is the son of Swedish star Stellan Skarsgård, 58 (Angels & Demons, Ronin, Good Will Hunting). The first season of the hit series received widespread critical acclaim and won several awards, including a Golden Globe and an Emmy.
