Taylor Swift
Gossip

This is our favorite supermarket tabloid tradition:

Not only do these celebrity gossip magazines invent sources and articles, they actually use the first person on cover stories to pretend as though the stars themselves have provided interviews and confirmation.

Our favorite example: when OK! Weekly touted Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as giving readers a tour of "our home." Not a word was actually uttered by either actor in the article itself.

The same applies to the latest issue of this rag, as you can rest assured that neither Taylor Swift nor Taylor Lautner are quoted as saying they're in love.

Let us save you the cover price: the publication has no new information on Taylor Squared. For free, you can read all about their hockey game date and Swift's kind words about Lautner on The Hollywood Gossip.

Let us also save you the trouble of wondering about whether or not Rob and Kristen are "back on track." (They were never off track); or whether Glee stars Lea Michelle and Cory Monteith are dating. (They aren't.)

Also, Khloe Kardashian has no "baby news." There. Aren't you glad THG is around?

It's a good time to be Taylor Swift.

The music superstar continues to break sales records; she's hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend; and she's involved romantically with Twilight Saga stud Taylor Lautner.

The 19-year-old beauty is also the new face/voice of Band Hero, the latest game in the Guitar Hero franchise. In a new, adorable commercial, she shares a stage with Rivers Cuomo from Weezer, Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy and Travis Barker from Blink-182.

Swift, of course, is the main attraction. See for yourself:

Without a certain social networking system on which to rely, Miley Cyrus fans must scour the Internet to read the latest thoughts from their favorite singer.

Fortunately, The Hollywood Gossip is on that case every single day!

Earlier this week, for example, Cyrus appeared on Chicago's B96 morning show and was asked about the rumored relationship between Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner, both of whom she knows. Her response:

"The Taylors? Oh, I don't know. I'm not into the drama. I have no idea. But I've known Taylor [Lautner] since I was really young."

It's true. Cyrus and Lautner actually met prior to the former taking on the character of Hannah Montana.

"When he did [The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl], it was between me and somebody else, and then I ended up doing Hannah Montana, so I've known him for, like, a really long time... if he's happy and if she's happy, sounds good to me."

As for her relationshp with Liam Hemsworth, Miley was silent as usual. That's no fun.

Set up fake dressing room and hidden cameras. Crouch down and hide in the corner. Scream and scare the living crap out of guest. Talk about a winning formula!

Ellen DeGeneres got into the Halloween spirit this week, and while her tactics were neither super original nor elaborate, the results are still hysterically funny.

Here's Ellen scaring Taylor Swift in the manner described above ...

LOL. We don't know what it is, but there's something about watching Taylor Swift react like she did which just makes us love America's Sweetheart even more.

Follow the jump for Ellen punking more celebrities in similar fashion. What's not to love about Mario Lopez, David Spade and Lauren Graham getting spooked?

Oh, and after the producers decided to turn the tables on Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel gets an award for chivalry for racing to her aid (and being quick on his feet) ...

We already know that Taylor Swift likes Taylor Lautner a whole lot.

But we really hope she doesn't feel the same way about Nazis.

The 19-year old singer was photographed at Katy Perry's birthday party last week, with her arm some hateful loser wearing a Swastika-covered t-shirt.

We're gonna give Swift a pass here and assume she had no idea the guy to her left was donning the symbol of such hate, evil and genocide. But she might wanna be careful about who she poses alongside of in the future.

Said Swift's rep to TMZ, who first posted the photo:

"Taylor took pictures with about 100 people that night... she doesn't know who this guy is and she didn't realize what was on his shirt."

Fair enough, T-Swizzle. Just stick to photos with Lautner and we'll love you forever.

On Sunday, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner attended a hockey game together.

On Monday, the pair ate dinner with Swift's mom.

And today, the singer pretty much confirmed her burgeoning relationship with Lautner. (Eeeek!!!)

Appearing with CMT Radio's Cody Alan, Swift said she was on "Team Jake" when it came to the classic Twilight Saga debate, and added the following about the male Taylor:

"He's an amazing guy and we're really close... and ah... yep. We're in a movie together and I am really excited about seeing it."

Never has one yep revealed so much.

Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner filmed a movie together. From there, the sparks flew and the clothes came off.

The movie in question (a scene from which is pictured above) is Valentine's Day. It stars a bevy of A-listers, from Julia Roberts to Patrick Dempsey to Jessica Biel.

Swift hasn't watched it in full yet, but hopes she and Lautner will "get to do a private screening because we both wanna see it so bad cause our scene was so much fun to do."

Come on, Taylor. Be honest. Would you actually watch a milisecond of the film if you attended a private screening with this New Moon hunk? We're guessing you and him would find something else fun to do...

... if you know what we mean!!!

It may be too soon to officially dubbed them Taylor Squared, but Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift totally have feelings for one another, reports confirm.

A day after a photo of the pair at a hockey game surfaced, a source told Us Weekly that the young icons "have gotten closer."

"They talk all the time, [and] they like each other," the insider said. "It's been hard with their schedules. They are both young and in the spotlight."

Following the aforementioned game, witnesses spotted Lautner and Swift entering the Beverly Hills hotel. A different kind of entering may have subsequently commenced, as no one saw the pair leave that night!

Added the source:

"They aren’t worried about the media. It's just still very new. They like each other. I don’t even think they know what it is yet. They would be open about it, but they need to figure out what it is first."

In the meantime, we'll talk about it openly. Write in and let us know just how adorable you find this celebrity pairing to be!

In July, we speculated that Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift were a "possible future couple." The pair just looked so happy together on the set of Valentine's Day.

Now, we're prepared to dub this adorable twosome an official item. Here are three reasons why:

1. Their couple nickname would be Taylor Squared. That's amazing.
2. They are both gorgeous and talented.
3. They were spotted (below), side-by-side, last night at a Los Angeles Kings vs. Columbus Blue Jackets game.

If a couple wants to fly under the radar, there are few better places to go than a professional hockey game. The sport doesn't even air games on a major network!

Therefore, we can only presume Taylor and Taylor were trying to keep their relationship a secret, but they can't hide from us. Nor should they.

We haven't been this excited about a pairing since Lautner's co-stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, coupled up. Taylor and Taylor 4 eva! Totes!
