Does Stretch Armstrong ever wear a shirt - does Taylor? This may be a perfectly cast role.

More buzz surrounding the teen star...Lautner's New Moon co-star Alex Meraz has slammed the actor's new movie Valentine's Day as "lame and desperate". And although Meraz, 25, has not even seen the rom-com, which also features big-name stars including stars Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel and Julia Roberts, he said he is not impressed.

He tweeted: "Sorry Taylor, but the movie Valentine's Day looks lame and desperate and it cries out, 'Look we have all the biggest stars in one movie, please watch!'"

Meraz later added: "PS It has nothing to do with the talented actors in the movie, I just don't like the producer and directors' get-rich-quick scheme... "Talk about biting the hand that feeds me. But I'm a wolf for crying out loud! I'll be careful next time I spill Twitter all over everyone."
