Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner
Lautner's arched eyebrows show he's focused on Swift, according to body language expert, Patti Wood, who says the couple isn't in love but "in like." Still, he isn't totally giving himself to her. "He's withholding emotion," says Patti based on the actor's half-smile.

Body Language And Celebrity Couples
Body Language Reveals All
By ADAM STERNBERGH

Each issue of US Weekly is chock-full of science. Yes, it's also chock-full of celebrities -- celebrities at premieres, celebrities nuzzling at after-parties, celebrities in sunglasses taking out the trash. But in US, and other star-tracking magazines like In Touch and Star, the photos of these celebrities now come accompanied with reams of analysis from experts in the science of body language.
In one typical issue of US this summer, Greg Cynaumon, a psychologist, analyzed a photo of Jennifer Lopez and her on-again-off-again fiance, Ben Afflack. And a few pages away, the body-language expert Patti Wood scrutinized a photo of Bob Guiney, the star of ''The Bachelor,'' whose hand was on his date's naked belly. (''Touching that spot,'' Wood noted, ''is usually a prelude to sex.'')
Wood, who is a consultant to both US and Cosmopolitan, says she ''reads'' photos by scouring them for ''body-language clusters'' and telltale physical ''cues,'' of which, she claims, there can be up to 10,000 exchanged during an interaction between two people.
For readers, these experts offer the promise, of hidden truths that the stars would not normally impart. As Janice Min, the editor of US, says: ''People think that with celebrities they're always getting spun. With these experts, they feel like the veil is lifted. And if the expert has a 'Dr.' in front of their name, it helps.''

Robert Pattison And Kristen Stewarts' Body Language
Expert: Robert Pattinson Loves Kristen Stewart More Than She Loves Him. In Celebs by HollywoodLife.com , on Thursday, May 20, 2010, 12:42 PM (PDT)

Based on these recent photo shoot snaps, body language experts explain that Robert Pattinson is head over heels for Kristen Stewart - and that she doesn't reciprocate his feelings as strongly!
Is Robert Pattinson more passionate about Kristen Stewart than she is about him? Not only has Kristen never confessed that she and Rob are actually together (he has!) but now, after studying shots of the Eclipse crew's recent photos shoot, body language experts say, "Rob, Kristen's just not as into you!"
Patti Wood body language expert agrees that Rob, 24, is more obvious about his feelings toward Kristen, 21, than she is to him.
"Rob has the hand in the pocket with the thumb out, that is a sexual position in men -the thumb goes towards the genital area. It says, ‘I am a man and want to be recognized for my dominate sexuality. I'm the alpha - this one's mine," Patti Wood explains to us. "He is doing a slight lean toward her but there is still a lot of space. Kristen is closed and neutral."
Fortunately, Rob's affections aren't totally one-sided. Although she's more subtle, Kristen's body language still shows she's very much into her leading man.

"They are like a unit," Dr. Glass says. "They gravitate towards each other - he engulfs her hands and he absolutely beyond adores her. Completely adores and is taken by her."
What about that other guy in the photos? Taylor Lautner, 18, and Kristen were once self-proclaimed besties - but judging from these pictures, he feels like a third wheel.
"[Rob and Kristen] are more of a unit, while Taylor stands back,"
Adds Wood, "[Taylor] is not as comfortable. His chest is pulling out so it makes him seem outside of them."
Aww...poor Taylor! It must be hard to constantly be the odd man out. Third wheel syndrome sucks!

How Do You Deal With Remote Media Interviews?
Another body language difficulty comes when you’re interviewed remotely and you are talking to a camera and forced to interact with it as if it was a person. That took me awhile to get use to and the bright lights in your eyes in those remote shoots will tend to make you blink. Prepare for those interviews as well so you can stay looking at the camera and smiling and nodding your head and leaning forward to it in response to the interviewer just as if it was a person. Story about Wrigley gum, Story about Pup-peroni.

How Can You Be Aware Of Your Body Language And Insure You Are In Sync In A Media Interview?
Practice answering the questions out loud. Don’t just read them off your computer silently. Use your video device on your computer or phone to record your answers so you see and hear your responses and can self monitor. In my experience most journalists and producers have very short deadlines, sometimes only 4 or 5 minute deadlines before they have to move on to cover the next story, so you need to practice answering questions quickly for TV and Radio. You need to practice giving not only quick clear responses but also one sentence rather than a paragraph response. That is the part that I find is difficult for my media coaching clients. They want to explain their answers or add on to them and in a live broadcast there is not time for that. So if you haven’t practiced giving short answers you can get flustered as most hosts want to keep the pace of the show going and will interrupt you or jump in with a pithy comment if you don’t give them a high energy quick response. So practice responding to questions with one sentence and watch your mouth and eyes on the tape to make sure your expression and tone match the word message. Someone experts look to the host for feedback that they have done a good job or make a face if they feel they didn’t give a great answer or if they are interrupted. You need to make sure your face stays still or shows interest in the conversation when you finish speaking. I can’t tell you how many times I've seen a guests' face scrunch up after they finish talking.
