4tnz! : Happy Birthday, Taylor!

Here's a major howl out to the big dog!

In honor of Taylor Lautner's birthday today (he turns 17!), we came up with 17 reasons why we love him so much.

Feel free to share your own!

1. He wanted the "New Moon" role so much, he hit the gym non-stop. And now he's hotter than ever!
2 Because he gives us another option from crushing on the unavailable Edward Cullen forever
3. Was once a karate champ. Hiya!
4. Tanned bod nice change of pace from pale undead-types
5. We love a little hair on the chest
6. Have you seen those abs?
7. Or those biceps?
8. Or those eyes?
9. Okay, we'll stop now.
10. No we won't. Check out that cute chin dimple!
11. Calls himself a "dork." So modest!
12. Part Native American, just like Jacob. So he's authentic. Unlike the other Twilight stars who aren't even a quarter vampire.
13. Once played Sharkboy. We love marine life!
14. Because our petition to save his role got, like, a million signatures.
15. He even looks good in his "Jacob ponytail." And guys with ponytails are usually losers.
16. As a werewolf, probably a night owl.
17. Mrs. Taylor Lautner just sounds right, doesn't it?
