Taylor debuts on the Forbes Celebrity 100 List scheduled to be released Wednesday! Yay for Taylor!

The annual list, which spotlights the celebs with the most money and fame from the worlds of movies, TV, sports, books and modelling. One of the biggest surprises on the list this year: Taylor Lautner makes his debut while Robert Pattinson drops off the list.

Both Twilight stars earned the same amount of money over the last 12 months, $26.5 million. So how did Lautner beat Pattinson? Fame. Lautner simply garnered more press attention. Because Lautner had the filmAbduction in theaters within the last 12 months in addition to Twilight: Breaking Dawn, he was in the press and on TV and the web more than Pattinson.

To compile our list we talk to dozens of agents, managers, producers, lawyers and other people in the know to come up with estimates for what each celebrity earned over the past 12 months. We don’t deduct for things like taxes, agent or manager fees.

We then combine that earnings number with a fame metric based on web hits, press mentions, TV and radio mentions, magazine covers and social networking prowess. The result is out Celebrity 100 power list.

As filming for Grown Ups 2 gets closer we are getting more information on filming locations and the possible use of extras! Here is what Patch.com is reporting!

A location manager for Columbia Pictures says about half of the Adam Sandler movie Grown Ups 2 is planned to be filmed in Swampscott and about half in Marblehead.

The manager, Charles Harrington, who spoke to the Swampscott School Committee Wednesday, also urged interested Swampscott residents to attend the open casting call for extras being held this weekend in Boston.

There are many extras being used in the film, he said. Filming will take place for much of the summer.

He said in an interview that movie producers want Grown Ups 2 to be an exciting experience for people in town and having a role as an extra would be a great way to be part of the experience.

The location manager told School Committee members that there will not be as much filming as expected at the Swampscott Middle School.

Instead of four days the filming at the school has been trimmed to a single day, he said.

A history classroom will be transformed to a French class.

The shoot will take place on June 4 in the school’s Grade 5 wing.

As it happens, the school’s sixth graders will be on a field trip that day and the fifth graders will be moved to the school’s sixth grade wing to minimize any disruptions to education, Superintendent Lynne Celli said.

According to store officials, there is an excellent chance that a scene from the upcoming movie “Grown Ups 2″, starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James, will be shot at the Tewksbury KMart, 10 Main St.

KMart store manager Paul Boisvert confirmed that members of the production company for the movie came to the store on Wednesday to scout the location and that the meeting went very well.

“We’ve got to meet one more time to work out some details,” said Boisvert. “i think the fact that Sandler is a big fan of KMart has helped.”

The Examiner created this list of Best Twilight MTV Movie Award moments and our Taylor is included of course!

• Les Grossman Promos

Some of the funniest stuff from the 2010 MTV Movie Awards came along before the show by way of promotional teasers. Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner linked up with Tom Cruise‘s Tropic Thunder alter-ego “Les Grossman” for two of them, both of which had most Twilight fans rolling on the floor. Pattinson’s took jabs at the popularity of his hair (video here), while Lautner’s joked at what would happen if he couldn’t make it to the show (video here).

• Best Kiss Wins

Of course, the most memorable aspect of the past three years of Twilight and the MTV Movie Awards for many fans is probably the three “Best Kiss” wins. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have absolutely owned this category (and are nominated for it again this year), and each year, they’ve found new and creative ways to accept. In 2009 (video here), they lined themselves up to repeat the intense first kiss scene between “Edward” and “Bella” in Twilight and then pulled away at the last moment, and then in 2010 (video here), they experimented with what on-camera kissing looks like without the help of filmmakers. Needless to say, that didn’t work out too well, and Stewart ended up shoving Pattinson away (jokingly, of course). Then last year – after being dejected by Stewart on-stage twice, in a manner of speaking – Pattinson went and planted one on Taylor Lautner, who was also nominated for the award for his kiss with Kristen Stewart in Eclipse (video here). If they win in this category again this year, there’s no telling what they’ll come up with.

Head over to The Examiner to see the full list!

Just a reminder that Sande Alessi Casting Boston will be having open casting for Grown Ups 2 on May 12th and 13th!
