For the record, Taylor Lautner is not gay. It would be absolutely acceptable and far from a big deal if he were, but it simply isn’t the case.

However, for a few hours yesterday, many Internet users believed this Twilight Saga star had revealed an intimate detail on his life to People Magazine, due to the following fake cover, which leaked online:

Heck, music mogul Russell Simmons even Tweeted how he was “proud of Taylor Lautner for his bravery and his courage” after he saw the headline, later learning the whole thing was a hoax and adding:

“disappointed that people would joke about someone coming out about their sexuality. Let Taylor Lautner be whoever he wants to be…”

No word yet from Taylor’s camp, though the magazine has come out and said the issue is “fake.” So you may go ahead and continue to scream and dream over the actor, female members of Team Jacob. There remains the slimmest chance he might someday be yours.
