It now seems clear that the body from that popular Taylor Lautner New Moon image was stolen from the (rather nicely endowed) model Edilson Nascimento on the right. What was never clear to me, however, is if the promo on the left was ever an official Summit promo or was just a relatively well done fan creation.
That model is none other than Brazillian hottie Edilson Nascimento....I would take him anyday over what's his face lautner

I doubt it was legit ... Lautner .. while entirely too young for me to fawn over without feeling ill...has a beautiful body and I doubt they would need to stick his head on anyones body.

Vincent -- good eye! Me -- er, alarmingly good eye. I mean really, who on this planet would notice this stuff? Can we hire you as an airport security expert, please? Lastly, if you put me up there and made a tryptic, well... there would be no room for debate.

There is absolutely no question that this was a fan made "poster." As soon as it surfaced, before New Moon even went before the cameras, it was posted on Famous Male Forums, along with links to the original photo of Nascimento and the teenage girl who photoshopped it. The fact that it is now surfacing and is being treated as some kind of scandal is both hilarious and disturbing. It strikes me as evidence of internet culture at its worst. Did the people started spreading this story bother to check around and get the real story or did they just make an assumption and go with it? I think we all know the answer to that question.
