Taylor Lautner is not gay.

The Twilight star has just been a victim of an internet hoax.

It was a People magazine cover for the January issue.

The headline that was shown was , ‘Out and Proud’

Part of the headline was, ‘Tired or rumors, The Twilight star opens up about his decision to come out. ”

There was also quotes coming from the star saying, “I’m more liberated and I’m happier than I have ever been.”

The photoshopped cover spread like wildfire on Twitter last Monday.

The sidebar of the cover, which shown Carnie Wilson and Brad Pitt is stolen from the May 2006 cover of People magazine.

A representative from People magazine has set the record straight and said that the cover is ‘absolutely fake’

Russell Simmons tweeted on his reaction said, “Disappointed that people would joke about someone coming out about their sexuality.”

“Let Taylor Lautner be whoever he wants to be…”
