Twilight star Kellan Lutz confesses all

• He said: “One time a girlfriend asked me if I liked country music. She likes it so I went along with it to impress her. “She totally called me out on it, like, ‘Name three country groups.’ And I’m like, ‘ Uh, Rascal Flatts? Amd Carrie Underwood? And, uh, Faith Hill is still singing right?!?’ “I don’t know why I said it. You just get stuck going to country concerts!”

  If Kellan could give us girls any advice it would be “Don’t write an essay in every text. “Keep it short and simple…it keeps him waiting for more.” Source
