Hollywood -
A People magazine cover buzzing around the internet which labels "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner as "Out and Proud" is a fake.
The cover's tagline says: "Tired of rumors, the Twilight star opens up about his decision to finally come out. 'I'm more liberated, and happier than I've ever been.'"
Lautner is a gay icon in some circles, since he spends a lot of time in the "Twilight" movies with his shirt off. (Werewolves have a tendency to rip up their own clothes anyway.)
The fake magazine cover purports to be on newsstands on January 7, 2012.
People magazine told GossipCop.com that it's "absolutely fake."
Many people were fooled and Taylor Lautner was trending on Twitter on Tuesday as the fake cover was heavily circulated on the Internet.
Lautner has been dogged by gay rumors and he addressed his sexuality earlier this year with GQ Australia simply stating, "I'm straight."
