Taylor Swift is planning to take Harry Styles out on a yacht on the French Riviera

Taylor Swift

The 23-year-old singer wants to have some "private romantic time" with the 18-year-old star ahead of his 19th birthday next Friday as part of the first steps of the pair getting back together following their split earlier this month.

Taylor and Harry are expected to seal their reunion at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes this Sunday  – where One Direction are nominated for International Group of the Year – and a source revealed the blonde beauty wants "no expense to be spared" when she whisks Harry away.

A One Direction insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “The lads are planning to hang out together enjoying Cannes – and they also want to get to Paris.

“But Taylor is desperately trying to make arrangements for her and Harry to slip away and have private romantic time.

“She has got a boat on standby ready for them to sneak off.

“Taylor thought a boat would be the perfect getaway as photographers can’t follow them.”

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' hitmaker has reserved a small private villa in the town of Mougins, four miles north of Cannes, but Harry's "main focus" is said to be spending time with his bandmates Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan.

The insider added: “It’s all up in the air as Harry’s main focus is being with his band.”

But it would not be the first time Taylor and Harry went on a yacht after the One Direction singer hired a sailboat to take them to two private islands during their romantic break in the Caribbean at new year, but the holiday ended in disaster when they split after having an argument.

A source said at the time: "Harry and Taylor kept getting hassled for pictures by fans on the island so he hired a yacht for two days and one night to take them to two private islands.
"He organised snorkelling and a chef to cook gourmet meals when they wanted."

'Twilight’ star Taylor Lautner’s favorite band is Ireland’s own U2

Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner has a favorite group, and even though he’s only 19, he’s got taste in music that goes well beyond the current crop of “artists” out there.  U2 is “my favorite band. Definitely,” he told The Irish Times last week.  Wonder what Team Edward thinks of that? . . .

Another hot star, Glee’s Cory Monteith, was impressed with Ireland during the Glee tour there earlier this year. "It was amazing. It's beautiful there. We stayed at a nice place and we played at this great arena, it was lovely. My only regret was that we weren't there for longer,” he said, according to the Sunday World.

Robert Pattinson says he realized his abs would never be ‘as good as’ Taylor Lautner's

After a lot healthy eating and crunches, Robert Pattinson says he had six-pack abs for about two weeks of shooting 'Breaking Dawn,' but gave up on having Taylor Lautner-like abs soon after.

"Yeah, I didn't eat any candy and I didn't drink any beer for a while," Pattinson told MTV News in an interview alongside fellow co-stars 'Twilight' Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

"I went kind of nuts. Me and Kristen went nuts working out, because we hadn't worked out for any of [the previous films]," he admitted.

After having his shirtless photo held up next to Lautner's, Pattinson took offense in the comparison.

"This is so unfair doing a comparison. Everyone says I painted on my abs in ['New Moon'] — I did not! Taylor has his painted on too!" he laughed.

"What?" Lautner responded. "What are you talking about? I don't understand this."

Said Pattinson about his abs: "I had it for, like, two weeks."

"As soon as I didn't have to be shirtless anymore [my good habits were] gone immediately," Pattinson continued. "During [filming in] Brazil, the day before I had to do my shirtless scene, I realized [my abs] weren't as good as Taylor's, so I just ate every bit of chocolate in the mini-bar. I started eating cheeseburgers and stuff."
