"He was in a great mood and enjoying time with his boys. It was really sweet," a source tells PEOPLE, adding that even though the soccer star was dressed down in sweatpants and a beanie on his second visit, he still sizzled. – Jennifer Garcia

Which Glee Star Joined Taylor Lautner for Dinner?

Originally posted 10/28/2011 06:00AM

Taylor Lautner grabbed dinner with Glee star Dianna Agron and a woman and a man, who looked like "agent types," an onlooker tells us. The foursome met at Gjelina in Venice, Calif., and Lautner kept busy chatting with Agron while the men lounged at their table. Lautner was chilled out, while Agron was more animated during their low-key meal. Lautner was also attentive to his fans: he graciously posed with several females who approached his table. Also at the restaurant (dining separately) that night: Neve Campbell and Maria Bello. – Marisa Laudadio
