Happy Birthday, Taylor Lautner!

A former Vice Presidential candidate and current money-hungry celebrity is 46 today (Sarah Palin).

America's most beloved actress, according to many, also celebrates a birthday (Jennifer Aniston).

But one milestone stands above all else on February 11, 2010: Taylor Lautner turns 18! Women around the globe know what this means, as the date has likely been circled on their calendars for months:

They can now think dirty, legal thoughts about the Twilight Saga stud muffin. Of course, Lautner himself doesn't seem that impressed with the occasion. Asked about his plans for it, Taylor said:

“I’ll spend time with family and friends... I don’t like to do anything huge, but it is 18, so, it’s kind of a big one I guess."

Isn't that humility a major reason why so many fans are drawn to this rising star? That and his ridiculous six-pack, of course.

All Taylor Lautner wants for his birthday? A kiss from Taylor Swift - and birthday wishes from YOU! Send them in now.

Lautner will also celebrate the big 1-8 by starring in Valentine's Day, opposite former fling Taylor Swift, which opens this weekend. Will you go see it 12 times?

In honor of this quasi national holiday, we've posted a slew of Taylor Lautner pictures below. Go ahead and ogle, ladies. The police can't do anything about it now...

A few not-at-all insane fans made the following video in honor of Lautner's big day. Watch it now.
