The above photo is of a People magazine cover for the January 7, 2012 issue of the tabloid, claiming that Twilight actor Taylor Lautner is coming out as gay. It would have been a total bombshell of a story — if it were true.

A photo of Taylor is covered with the text, “Exclusive”, along with the subtitle, “Out & Proud”. Underneath that, it 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.”

A representative for the magazine told Gossip Cop that the cover is a fake!

It’s a good fake, though, isn’t it? This is how rumors get started. Still, the Photoshopper who made this did a pretty good job, as compared to their real magazine covers.

Taylor Lautner himself has yet to comment on the gay rumors. Did you buy into the hype?

Something like this starts off on Twitter and just spreads like wildfire on the internet. Did you see the cover and think that Taylor was really coming out as gay? Let us know in the comments!

Breaking Dawn actor Taylor Lautner has revealed that he’s not a self-absorbed famewhore (read: Kim Kardashian).

The young actor has revealed that he doesn’t like to read about himself on the internet. In a new interview with Parade magazine, he said, “It’s tough because sometimes you’ll just be on the web and things pop up or you get emailed something from a friend. It is definitely impossible to avoid stuff about me sometimes, but it’s pretty important to try.”

He went on to reveal, “It’s very rare that things are true about yourself that are on the internet. It’s just sad sometimes. So you definitely try and stay away from it as much as possible.”

Taylor also said that he’s worried about women only liking him because he plays werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight movies. He added, “You definitely have to deal with whether girls are interested in me or Jacob. Sometimes it’s hard. Time always lets you know what a person is really like. The fans love the characters and they would love anyone who is playing those characters. I’m just the guy who was able to bring Jacob to life.”

While currently still on the promotional circuit for Breaking Dawn, Kristen Stewart has revealed that she doesn’t care for being referred to as “hot”.

In a new interview, she said that she doesn’t like the term and isn’t interested in being a sex symbol whatsoever. She even went on to say that she doesn’t like to be included in those “sexiest” whatever lists (Sexiest Female Actress, etc).

She revealed, “I can’t stand labels. What does that (being hot) even mean? I don’t feel hot and I don’t like talking about being put in that category.”

Despite all of that, she really likes working with two good looking guys, co-stars, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. She said, “It’s not a bad day in the office when you get to work with Robert and Taylor every day. They are good looking guys and Taylor can dance. That boy can move his hips!”

I can’t blame her….but where’s the video of Taylor dancing? That’s what we want to see!

Fans of Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner will be happy to learn that the young werewolf is now single!

According to reports, Taylor is now back on the dating market, after ending things with Phil Collins’ daughter, Lily, who is also his co-star in his new movie, Abduction.

Actually, what’s even worse is that they broke things off just a week before the movie was scheduled to make its premiere. A source said, “It was a clean break that Taylor initiated.”

Talk about crazy when it was time to promote the movie, right? The source went on to say, “At the Abduction party, it was awkward. They barely said a word to one another.”

Taylor previously said, “You can feel some sort of chemistry or a connection when you are reading a script with someone for the first time. And that was totally the case with Lily.”

Get in line, ladies!

Taylor Lautner is still on the promotional circuit for his new movie, Abduction, so he’s releasing quote after quote to keep people focused on the flick.

First, he said that there was a lot riding on the new movie and that he hopes that fans of Twilight will support him in his new role. Afterward, he commented that he cried during his viewing of Breaking Dawn. Now, he’s calling his Twilight co-star, Kristen Stewart, “hot”.

He admitted that after seeing Bella Swan as a vampire for the first time, he found it quite pleasing. He said, “Bella is pretty hot as a vampire. Pretty hot, I’ve got to admit it. To be honest I was blown away! It’s going to be very exciting for the fans to see this one. It’s the same characters, but in a completely different light.”

Twilight actor Taylor Lautner is calling upon fans of The Twilight Saga to support him in his decision to take on roles that are more challenging for him.

Taylor is currently starring in his new movie, Abduction, and is asking for your support!

The movie centers around Taylor’s role of a teenager who is on the run after learning that his parents are hiding a secret about their past.

In a new interview, Taylor said, “I don’t know why, but I’m always looking to challenge myself as much as possible. Plus, I had always been an action fan and been fans of the actors like Damon and Harrison Ford. What I love about their action movies is that they’re not just action movies. They’re playing a character that goes through an incredible journey.”

He also revealed that he was told by the movie’s director to watch action movies featuring Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford in preparation for his role in Abduction.

He added, “I’m just hoping that the fans can support me doing completely different things outside of the franchise. And yeah, I mean, there probably is a lot at stake. It definitely crosses my mind, and I would be lying if I said I feel no pressure. But whenever that thought comes in my mind, I try to push it out as quickly as possible. I try and just stay focused on things I can control.”

In a new interview with Seventeen magazine, Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner talks about how crushed he would be if a woman turned him down.

He plays werewolf Jacob Black in the movies and gets rejected by his love interest Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart. He said that is something that he would find difficult to cope with, in real life.

He said, “I can relate to Jacob’s feelings in Breaking Dawn. When he gets the invitation to the wedding, he doesn’t handle it very well. I don’t think I would either. If I were in love with a girl and she told me she was marrying someone else, it would crush me. That’s what it does. It destroys Jacob.”

Taylor also revealed that he would be happy to have a relationship with one of his fans, and said that he is looking for a girlfriend who will just be herself. He said, “Would I date a fan? I don’t excluse anyone, so sure, why not? I don’t have a type physically, but loyalty and honesty are important, and also someone who can also just be herself and just let loose and have fun.”

He’s taking applications, ladies! Do you want to date Taylor? Sound off in the comments!

It surprises me to find that Breaking Dawn actor Taylor Lautner even knows who Tom Cruise is, let alone have any admiration for the aging actor. I mean, we had admiration for Tom, before he turned into a crazy, couch jumping Scientolo-nutbar. Hey, we’ll always have Top Gun, right?

Regardless, Taylor says that he would kill to have a career like Tom’s. Oh would he now? Everyone and their mother makes fun of Tom for being a wing nut, so I have to wonder what’s so admirable about that? He’s become even more known for his antics of preaching the word of L. Ron Hubbard, than of being good at any roles since Jerry Maguire.

Taylor said, “The most important thing I did was sit down beforehand and watch a lot of movies and study actors that I look up to. We studied Tom Cruise in Minority Report, Harrison Ford, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington. I would love to follow in their footsteps. That would be an honor, to be compared to people like that. I look up to Tom Cruise and Matt Damon. I would kill to have the careers they’ve had.”

Something tells us that good ol’ Tom is probably wishes that he had Taylor’s career and career options at this juncture. Call it a hunch.

Breaking Dawn actor Taylor Lautner says that you better bring a tissue to the final two films, because there’s going to be tears!

On the red carpet at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards, he revealed that fans of the movies should prepare for their emotions to run wild during the final chapter. He said, “I’ve seen it a few times. I saw it for the first time while we were still filming, so it was a really rough cut, but I’ve seen several versions since then, and it’s getting better and better.”

He went on to reveal, “You are going to face a lot of emotions, definitely. You are going to be angry. I guarantee you will cry multiple times. There’s a good mix. It’s definitely different than any of the ones before.”

Taylor Lautner says that he, Robert Pattinson and his girlfriend, Kristen Stewart will be friends forever. They’ve worked together for years on the Twilight Saga, so it’s obvious that they are close!

He revealed that the best part of the franchise was getting to know Kristen and Rob and said that all three of them are going to remain close friends. Will they ever do another movie together???

He said, “My parting gifts were our friendships, lifelong friendships. We all get along great. We’re definitely going to continue spending time together. Whether we’re promoting these movies or whatever.”

Of the last few days on the set of Breaking Dawn, he said, “There were tears on the last days, from everyone. I was the one who predicted it was actually going to be emotional on the last day.”

He also revealed that he had mixed emotions about coming to the end of the franchise. He added, “I think it’s mixed emotions, for sure. Half of me says, ‘This is a relief. I get some time off, I get to spend some time with family and friends and do other things’, but the other half says, ‘This is so weird.’ I’ve been filming with these people for years, so it’s definitely a bummer.”

Are you going to be bummed out when the franchise is completely over with?

Surely we all thought it was pretty funny when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart won the award for Best Kiss at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards. He ran off the stage after telling Kristen that he didn’t feel like kissing her. He said that there was someone out there who would appreciate it more. He approached their Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner and landed a big kiss on him.

A source tells Earsucker.com that Kristen was a little more than miffed about getting snubbed for a kiss on live television. She yelled at him backstage in the VIP area, saying, “You made me look like a total jerk out there!”

He tried to defend himself, but she raised a “talk to the hand” gesture and moved right past him. He tried again to defend himself, but she told him, “Don’t even bother.”

Afterward, he ran after her and things were smoothed out. They were later seen holding hands and giggling.

I guess we can’t say that we blame her for patching things up. She’s dating a hot vampire who’s life is totally on the upswing. What do you think? Are you still of the mind that their relationship is a publicity stunt? Or is it the real deal?
