Teen stars Taylor Lautner of “Twilight” and Selena Gomez are no longer an item after the former was told it would be in his best interest if he were single at this point in his career. Consequently, he had called off the relationship he had with Selena, without as much as bothering to call or text her, LaineyGossip informs from well-placed sources.

As we also reported a while ago, Lautner and Gomez finally went public with their teen romance when both were in Vancouver working on their separate projects. The two went out on a dinner and movie date, and were photographed – the same happened the next day, when Taylor and Selena went out shopping holding hands and acting very much like a couple. A rep for Taylor denied the affair at the time but, according to LaineyGossip, such denials will no longer be necessary in the future.

“It’s been about a week now. Taylor left Vancouver last Friday. Before leaving, my sources say the two were supposed to hang out, spend time together, watch DVDs, cuddle, whatever. Instead, Taylor stood her up. Didn’t bother texting, didn’t bother coming through on their plans. They’ve barely communicated since.” LaineyGossip writes, citing the usual well-placed sources from the industry.

Apparently, Taylor did not make the decision on his own, which means Selena was not stooped up because he was too immature for something more than just a fling, or perhaps fed up with her. According to the same source, the young “Twilight” star was told having a girlfriend at this point could harm his career, and he eventually understood that his handlers were right and agreed to call everything off with Gomez.

“Am told Taylor was supposedly strongly encouraged by his father and Summit not to be seen with a girlfriend, especially as his star is on the rise. They want him to focus on career, on the work, and on letting every little girl make believe she could be The One. He wasn’t happy about it, but he listened. These are the sacrifices you make for fame, right? Selena will have to make hers too. Eventually.” the same e-zine writes.

Next up, Taylor will be seen on the stage at the MTV Movie Awards, where he, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will be introducing the first official trailer from “New Moon.” As LaineyGossip also points out, Selena Gomez will also be in attendance.

This all speculation & chinese whispers... the whole time they were in Vancouver working on separate projects, they never publicly confirmed or denied what their relationship was exactly...

They never confirmed they were more than friends & so what if they were dating? They're young & its what kids their age do, they also have their whole life ahead of them... They never knew eachother personally before & seeing as how they were working in the same city, they got to hang out, build a relationship of sorts & become friends. What's so wrong with that?

They tried to do that in private so the media wouldn't misconstrue things & hype it up if that wasn't going on. Now, if they were just friends (maybe with benefits) then they had a great time with eachother while they had time to share & Taylor has had to go home. Maybe they will continue things further down the track & maybe not. If they were going out & he has dumped her without the least bit of respect (which I find hard to believe of Taylor from what I have seen of his character) & "stood her up" then yes, that is inexcusable behaviour but I doubt that would've happened because if its "in Taylors best interest on letting every little girl make believe she could be The One" then these little girls wouldn't find such a characteristic or behaviour from Taylor appealing to them at all & could go the other way if they start finding him to be a real jerk!

I don't think people should pass judgement until we actually hear it directly from the people involved, not here say!

What kind of people are you in the US that believe all this crap about dating people (appearing available for crazed fans), having plastic surgery - coz heaven help you all, you are all so ugly you can't possible be in the movies otherwise! - are the rest of you so braindead that you let this type of crap occur and find it acceptable? No wonder the world thinks you're all a bit weird. Who in the US has the guts to stand up and put a stop to all this nonsense? He's a teenager - he should be able to go out with whoever he bloomin well pleases, whenever he pleases - as should every other person who acts or performs - and everyone should be able to do so just as they are - no pumped up lips, no chemically damaged coloured hair, no plastic enhanced chests - just real people... or are there none of those left in the US?

OMG I feel v v upset cause I actually liked the sound of this couple but obviously Taylor loves being famous more than having a loving girlfriend. So I am v v V uppset about this break up


Comment #6 by: Bri on 01 Jun 2009, 04:33 GMT reply to this comment

I think the fact that he broke up with her just for that lowers my opinion of him. I mean, girls don't care if he goes out with someone i.e. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens or the Jonas Brothers...that was pretty harsh. I thought he was a nice guy, but after the shady thing he did, regardless of the fact that his father (who shouldn't be encouraging this kind of thing if it is against his son's wishes) told him to, he is a jackass. But hey, thats Hollywood. What can a person do?

It's what's best for his career. That's just how the Hollywood business is.

Statistically, he'll do better as a young bachelor than as a teenager in a relationship. He's very young, and he's not at a point in his career where he can generate a strong enough fan following on the basis of his acting alone.
Once he's a bit older, once he's done more serious films, and fans like him more for acting skills rather than just his boyish good looks (i.e. Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio) , he can go out with whomever he so chooses.

Right now, his father and his handlers are just looking out for him.

Comment #7.1 by: Mindy on 01 Jun 2009, 23:58 GMT

GG, I totally agree with you on this one.
It's unfortunate and sad, but that's Hollywood for you.

At his young age, as an up and coming star, he'll have to either ditch the girl or toss out his career. It's all about marketing.
Those young stars who want to make it big in the business need to distance themselves from the dating scene until they're a bit more seasoned.
If he can't handle it, then maybe being a big-name actor is not the right career choice...

i though that selena was dating one of the jonas brothers


Comment #9 by: Ashlee on 05 Jun 2009, 08:02 GMT reply to this comment

I can't believe, I WON'T BELIEVE that he would do that to selena. They probably just have secret dates or something because just like rob and kristen they just click in public. A GREAT COUPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8) 8)


Comment #10 by: Amber on 06 Jun 2009, 00:18 GMT reply to this comment

i cant believe that. I love Taylor so much. SElena is ok but they kinda weren't cute to me.


Comment #11 by: Christine on 07 Jun 2009, 04:11 GMT reply to this comment

Ok guys...you can't believe everything you hear. I love Taylor too but, really, anyone can write anything and it makes people think. If Taylor in fact did do this. Then i'm sure he had a good reason. They make it sound to harsh. Also how would they know if he texted her or not. They don't know. So don't be mad at him for something no one but Taylor himself can prove is true.


Comment #12 by: hah on 15 Jun 2009, 06:08 GMT reply to this comment

Comment #16 by: ashley1995 on 03 Aug 2009, 04:34 GMT reply to this comment

well....I know that some people might think that this is what is best for him but... if you really look at it... when taylor and selena where going out he got ALOT more attention...so there wwnt more fame in his career......ok, and if he really wanted to see how him and selena would work out then he would have stayed with her.
because of this whole thing, he lost some fans...and i personally think that he sould have told selena something instead of standing her up...and im really sorry selena, no matter what happened.


Comment #17 by: MIMI on 04 Sep 2009, 03:14 GMT reply to this comment

That is so not what happened between me and Selena. i did not stand her up, i told her that it wasnt going to work and we both agreed to go our seperate ways.

the press better stop rumouring about what happened because they are all lies.

Comment #22 by: ... on 25 Nov 2009, 00:08 GMT reply to this comment

these authors are insane. there's no way that that's the reason he broke up with her, if they even are broke up. i mean, laineygossip? c'mon... way to make him sound like an idiot, he isn't that mean and you are only putting those comments out to make publicity, so stop. there's no reason for it, because it's obvious that no guy would do that without another reason, and you don't know that reason.


Comment #23 by: yasmine on 29 Nov 2009, 22:51 GMT reply to this comment

Come on People you can't believe everything the media says....no one really knows if they dated or not.Plus,the reason for him "breaking up" with her doesn't even make sense.This seems like some sort of propaganda against him.....seriously!!The media should stop fabricating things about celebrities' personal lives and stop interfering in them because it irritates them just like any other person would be if they were in their shoes!!
