Unwilling to cave into an absurd push-up challenge, Taylor Lautner has ended up reaching an amicable agreement in regards to his lawsuit against an RV dealer.
Stemming from a snafu in which the “Twilight” hunk’s customized trailer wasn’t delivered by the expected date of June 21, Lautner has accepted a charitable donation to call off legal proceedings against McMahon’s RV.
Talking to Us magazine, Lautner’s attorney Robert Barta said, “McMahon’s RV has agreed to settle its dispute with Taylor Lautner. McMahon’s RV will pay $40,000 to Lautner, which Lautner will donate to The Lollipop Theater Network, a children’s charity with which he has a long-standing relationship.”
Barta continued, “The Lollipop Theater Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing movies currently in theaters to children confined to hospitals due to chronic or life-threatening illnesses. The Lollipop Theater Network works with hospitals nationwide, including the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas.?”
As for claims that Taylor was suing over emotional distress, insiders tell TMZ that this just wasn’t the case - it was about holding McMahon’s accountable for their unacceptable business practices.
“This was never a suit about money. It was to hold someone accountable,” TMZ’s source tells. “Taylor never ordered a customized RV — it was a used RV which needed simple safety-related repairs. There was never any diva behavior. ‘Emotional distress’ is an automatic checked box on a fraudulent claim.”

Enjoying some quality bonding time, Sarah Michelle Gellar and baby Charlotte Prinze were spotted out in Brentwood, CA on Friday (September 3).
The adorable mother/daughter duo strolled about town, soaking up the summer sunshine as they grabbed up lunch at Coral Tree Cafe.
Steering clear of career duties as she gets used to motherhood, Miss Gellar most recently worked on a new show called “The Wonderful Maladys”.
Unfortunately, the pilot wasn’t picked up by HBO, as the Gotham series following the dysfunctional lives of three adult siblings who lost their parents at a young age has since been put on the back-burner.

It’s been one of the most anticipated films this month, and it sounds like “ Going the Distance ” is going straight to the top of the box office.
The film involves Erin ( Drew Barrymore ) and Garrett ( Justin Long ) who meet during Erin’s internship in New York City, but once the internship ends and Erin heads back to California the couple is forced to deal with the struggles of a long-distance relationship.
The reviews have been on the positive side for the most part, as Michael O’Sullivan from The Washington Post wrote, “Drew Barrymore and Justin Long make one cute couple. Whether or not the actors’ on-again-off-again real-life romance helped their performances as lovers frustrated by geography — he’s in Manhattan, she’s in San Francisco — it’s clear they have chemistry. E.T.’s girlfriend and the Mac Guy ooze a laid-back, goofy charm through their pore-less skin. They’re a modern-day Hepburn and Grant.”
Another critic told, “’Going the Distance’ is by no means perfect, but it’s light years beyond the average rom-com, bracingly honest and genuinely funny about the ups and downs of relationships. Barrymore and Long, once a real-life couple and now who-knows-what, have a real chemistry that complements their well-written, realistic characters, and even when the movie falls apart around them in the third act, we root for these two crazy kids and their shot at romance. They elevate the story beyond its more flawed moments, but really, ‘Going the Distance’ is pretty special all on its own.”

They were arrested on drug charges in Hollywood earlier this week, and T.I. and Tameka Cottle’s mug shots have been released.
After being pulled over and getting busted with marijuana and unknown pills – that are currently being tested - the “You Can Do Whatever You Like” singer and his wife were booked into the West Hollywood sheriff’s station and later released on $10,000 bond each.
At this time, the couple has not been charged with any crime pending the results of tests on the pills.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, Jr., is no stranger to legal troubles - as he was released from prison late last year after serving time on an illegal firearms possession conviction.
