Breaking Dawn Star Taylor Lautner Needed National Guard To Protect Him from Fans

Taylor Lautner, one of the star of the hit Twilight series, needs the National Guard to protect him from over eager fans. In a recent interview, the Breaking Dawn actor said that he and Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart needed protection from fans during a visit to Brazil.

"Kristen and I were doing interviews in a hotel in Brazil and all of a sudden our security barges in and locks the door," said Lautner. 'We're like, 'What's going on?' And they said 'Remain calm, but about 2,000 girls just broke through the hotel lobby and they're on their way up the stairs to get to this room.' Then they went,'But it's OK because we have the National Guard on their way.' And the National Guard actually did show up and everything was fine."

Taylor Lautner plays the werewolf Jacob in the Twilight series. The next installment Breaking Dawn Part 1 is due in cinemas November 18.

HOLLYWOOD GETTING SUED FOR USING CHRIST STATUE

Hollywood is getting sued for using Rio's famous giant Christ statue in its disaster movie blockbuster "2012".

Rio de Janeiro's archdiocese is demanding unspecified damages and interest from Columbia Pictures for showing the iconic landmark being destroyed in a worldwide apocalypse in a film that came out last year, the archdiocese's attorney, Claudine Dutra, said.

The archdiocese manages copyright issues related to the 40 meter high statue erected in 1931, which overlooks Rio with its arms outreached.

The Christ the Redeemer statue was created by Paul Landowski, a French artist of Polish descent, on commission from the Rio archdiocese and erected in 1931.

Landowski died in 1961, meaning the archdiocese holds the copyright until 2032, when the sculpture becomes part of the public domain.
