Ryan Kwanten to Taylor Swift: Come to True Blood!

In a recent interview with Hollywoodlife.com, Ryan Kwanten made one thing clear:

He's more than just a ridiculously attractive body. The True Blood star also has a good head on those broad shoulders.

When asked at the Producers Guild Awards about Taylor Swift possibly appearing on the HBO hit, Kwanten replied:

“I’d like Taylor [to guest star on True Blood]. That’d be kind of cool... I get the feeling that she likes to break down boundaries. She set a bunch of records, so why not get into the acting world and see if she can’t tackle that, too?"

Swift, of course, is already doing so, as she's one of 97 stars appearing in Valentine's Day. But we think she'd fit in perfectly on True Blood, don't you?

She could be a vampire and pretend each of her prey is Kanye West.

Phil Harris Continues to Make Progress

He may host Deadliest Catch, but Phil Harris isn't letting the Grim Reaper catch up with him.

The reality TV star is making major progress after suffering a stroke last week. He's now breathing on his own.

A family source told TMZ that doctors are "extremely impressed" with Harris' progress. So are we.

The sea captain had been using breathing tubes to help circulate oxygen through his body, but these have now been removed and his motor skills are returning to normal.

Moreover, Harris has regained feeling in the left side of his body... and he's cursing like, well, a sailor. That's a good sign.

Harris hopes to move home as soon as possible. We'll let you know when this happens.

David Archuleta and Jordin Sparks: No Air, Lots of Talent

Not so fast, Aaron Kelly!

While American Idol viewers are already comparing the aforementioned season nine contestant with David Archuleta, the former runner-up proved this week that he won't be replaced without a fight.

The talented young singer took to the stage with Jordin Sparks at the 2010 Jordin Sparks Experience, a pre-Super Bowl event held at Miami Beach on Wednesday night. Don't they look adorable together?

The former American Idol alumni performed a duet to “No Air," the single Sparks originally made famous with Chris Brown.

Could she have replaced Brown with anyone more opposite from him? We doubt it. This, of course, is a big compliment to David. The day he beats his girlfriend is the day Jon Gosselin starts caring about his kids.

Watch the pair entertain the crowd below.

Taylor Lautner to Play Stretch Armstrong

In the fantasies of many females, Taylor Lautner is their boy toy.

On the big screen, similarly, he'll soon portray a character based on a toy.

The Twilight Saga cutie has signed on to anchor Stretch Armstrong, a movie based on an action figure of the same name.

As written by The Hollywood Reporter, this family friendly action film will tell the story of “an uptight spy who stumbles across a stretching formula, which he takes and must now adjust to in everyday life and when fighting crime."

Check out the following commercial for the Stretch Armstrong toy to see get an idea of what Lautner is in for:

The movie, which will be released by Universal Pictures, will be filmed with 3-D technology.

"In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global box office," said studio cochair Donna Langley. "He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely super hero with a fantastic super power. We couldn't be more pleased that he has agreed to be our Stretch."

Look for Stretch Armstrong to hit theaters in 2012. This summer, of course, you can see Lautner reprise the role of Jacob in Eclipse.

Marisa Miller Crowned MVP of the Celebrity Beach Bowl

On a sandy field that included former NFL stars such as Eddie George and Desmond Howard, Marisa Miller walked away with the 2010 Celebrity Beach Bowl MVP earlier today.

The super model only caught one pass, but she looked like this while doing it:

The event, held annually the day before the Super Bowl, was coached by the quarterbacks of the NFL's two New York franchises: Eli Manning and Mark Sanchez.

Who won? Men in attendance - as evidenced by Miller, Olivia Munn and the presence of numerous Playmates in the game - and teenage girls, as Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz and Chace Crawford all showed off their tight ends.
