Taylor Lautner “Gay” People Magazine Cover is FAKE (Exclusive)

Truth rating: 0

EXCLUSIVE

(Twitter)

A purported People magazine cover on which Taylor Lautner announces that he’s gay is FAKE.

The image of the supposed January 7, 2012 issue shows Lautner above the phrase “Out & Proud,” and allegedly offers the “Exclusive” that the actor is going public with a bombshell about his sexuality.

“Tired of rumors, the Twilight star opens up about his decision to finally come out,” promises the “People” cover, which quotes Lautner as saying, “I’m more liberated, and happier than I’ve ever been.”

But the magazine cover is 100% phony.

It is NOT a real People preview.

A rep for the magazine confirms to Gossip Cop exclusively that it’s “absolutely fake.”

Nevertheless, the Photoshopped fake is being circulated everywhere via Twitter and other social media on Monday.

Spreading fake stories like this one only diminishes the impact of real news – be it Lautner’s or anyone else’s – when it happens.

FYI: The Brad Pitt/Carnie Wilson sidebar is stolen from a May 2006 People cover.

Dude

It’s not even a convincing photoshop job. It looks fake as hell.
James

Actually, the real give away is the photo of Brad Pit with a baby Zahara on his shoulders in the side bar. If they had used a different photo, it might have worked. People need not have gotten up in arms, the idiot who printed it is not up witht he times.
sarahblue

I don’t think Taylor’s gay. He has had girlfriends – Taylor Swift, Selana and Lily. And I heard he and Kristen Stewart had a thing when they were promoting New Moon and Eclipse. They flirted a lot apparently. Kristen really had the hots for him. And I wouldn’t blame the girl for wanting that hot body of his!
fakerbuster

Sarah for your info , Kristen said she sees taylor like a Brother so you really need to pay attention better to what they say and FYI use google figure out who is Kstew boyfriend is Since New Moon please?
fakerbuster

Not Funny , this guy gets trashed this way for being in twilight i hope they find out who did this so they sue their ass for libel
js

Heterosexual or homosexual he is yummy.
D. Martin

@sarahblue – I agree with you that I do not think Taylor is gay. He’s going through that Tom Cruise thing where – despite that fact that he’s been married numerous times and has children there are magazines that still WANT him to be and insist that he’s gay. People are saying that Taylor is gay because they WANT him to be.

Regarding Kristen being hot for him. I’d always read that she considered him like a little brother.
http://twitter.com/KellyCEfron Nicole Miller

I do think Taylor is gay and I’m cool with it and P.S. never say someone can’t be gay cause they’ve had girlfriends. Most gay men will tell you that they’ve dated woman, and hell some even get married to women. I’m honestly not being a hater but Taylor just seems like a gay man to me.
Jen

He even said he was straight in http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/10/taylor-lautner-straight-not-gay-gq-australia-interview
People like to photoshop shit like this and give people a heartache. Give it a rest. He was with two girls at a club for a Christmas party. i doubt this even true.
D. Martin

Bottom line — he is not gay until HE says he is and he has stated he is straight. I can’t believe someone would stoop so low and to put out a fake magazine cover like that. Both Lautner and People should find out who put it out and sue.
Anonymous

WOW! Delusional much? I have no idea if Taylor is gay or not and neither do you. Those girls could easily have been beards for him. They all wanted to cash in on each other’s celebrity at the time and it worked. Now for your other incredibly stupid supposition that Kristen has the hots for Taylor, I think you need to realize she is in a very committed relationship with Robert Pattinson and has NEVER gave any indication that Taylor was more to her than a little brother type friend. Please get your facts straight before posting about things you know nothing about.

I had not noticed that. Good call.

Taylor Lautner isnt gay, hes too hot & muscler and hes had girlfriends trust me does he look like he could be gay ? like no, and you can see by the way people is written on the magazine cover that its not how they make it, open your eyes people

Sissydancer

I think that is kind of amazing how someone would spend so much time to make something like that and hurt whoever is apart of Its also sad to know that the person behind this could be doing something productive instead.
elizabeth

I find this amusing actually, cos it actually doesn’t matter whether he’s gay or not, he’s an amazing actor and all us TRUE twilight fans couldn’t care less about his sexuality. The fact that this sad guy even took the time to make a wild story like this says to me that he has far too much time on his hands, either that or he’s just a sadact :-P
Luis

And how exactly does one “look like they could be gay.” Reading these comments I would say that none of you have any clue what you are talking about and are all caught up in an unhealthy obsession with Launter and probably Justin Bieber too. grow up.

Damn Kids not gay even if he is so what?
Anonymous

I really hope you’re under 15 years old or you just thoroughly embarrassed yourself. He’s too hot and muscular to be gay? Stop please, I’m crying from laughing so hard. You’ve obviously never met a gay man before.
Anonymous

Are people bored or something to make up a fake cover. People need lives who make up these covers.
Guest

The cover is clearly fake. Is the idea he’s gay? Probably not. His fake relationships for PR certainly haven’t helped to quell the rumor. Poor kid because his homophobic fans certainly aren’t going to welcome him with open arms even if he did want to come out.
guest

Don’t get your racist panties in a bunch. It is going to be okay! Taylor is fine.
guest

Black-neck? Is that a new racist term? You are no better than him.
aquarius64

Didn’t catch that photo. Good eye. That story would have some serious direct and collateral damage. For Lautner, he can kiss his career goodbye; for the girls who dated him (Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Lily Collins) they would have been branded as stupid for not knowing or liars for helping to sell a false image to the public.
Shape

It’s made by some fat, ugly guy who sits on his computer all days, has no friends, and watches gay porn all day and makes up stories at goodassdick.tumblr.com . He uses atrl.net and his account name is Satellites.
Guest

Fangirls are much too delusional when it comes to guys who are in the closet. A tape of Taylor tossing Hugh Jackman’s salad could leak and they would STILL claim he’s straight.

It is WAY too obvious he’s gay. But he has so much pressure to come out because of this Twilight nonsenese. I wouldn’t be surprised if he came out after the last me is released next year. We’ll be hearing about this topic again sooner or later.
http://twitter.com/TheMouthOfTruth Truth Hurts

Some people strongly believe that even Lassie and Rin Tin Tin were gays. According to director Michael Moore, even Jesus was gay: http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/38966/michael-moore-jesus-was-gay/ Who’s next? We’re back in the witch-hunting days? This is a matter of good taste. Speculate about the private lives of people you don’t know personally using, blogs, magazines gossip, social networks or sordid tricks like this, is bullying, a depressing sign of the shitty times we live, not something funny.
bambinoitaliano

I was ready to laugh off any speculation of Taylor’s sexual orientation until someone claim he’s an amazing actor. Now i’m choking……
Katia

Couldn’t agree more….The world is really sick.
Ruby Diamond

Rumors have been rampant regarding his sexuality since the entire Twilight saga. Whom ever his (People) are I would take this opportunity to locate and sue the person/persons that did thid this for: Deflamation of Character and Libel. Smack whomever to the wall. If this were me that’s exactly what I would do. This would definatley PUT THE RUMORS TO REST. What studio if going to fund any project of his with this in question since the majority of his fans are women. The would BOYCOTT him forever along with their fantasies. GO AFTER THER PERP TAYLOR’s PEOPLE. I feel bad for him to always be in constant defense of this. It would be a career killer for him.
D. Martin

Polarluver546 – Although I don’t think he’s gay either you can’t go by looks. (I’m sorry but I gotta laugh at this) Some of the most beautiful men I’ve ever SEEN are gay.
D. Martin

True but where’s the smoke? This is fake.
D. Martin

The actor is only as good as the material he’s given. I just saw Abduction and thought it was okay but not because of his acting — I thought the story could have been more rounded.
D. Martin

@Shape – I don’t know what that term “black-neck” means. I hope it’s not racist but I’ve never heard that term before.

Regarding who did this. How do you know? I’m just asking…
D. Martin

It is. What gets me most is that he’s still just a kid. A very rich kid but still just a kid. He has family and friends and someone who doesn’t even know him is trying to hurt him this way.
French Flies

Everyone knows Kristen is the gay one. She’s as gay as Richard Simmons, frolicking through the unicorn forest in rainbow parachute pants.
Robsessed1986

I agree with what you say. People want him to be gay because they want him. And he is hot so there are lots of people who feel the same.
Having said that, Taylor’s sexuality is his own business and no one elses. It’s sad to see such a great kid being targeted like this.
All my best to Taylor for a prosperous new year!
Katia

And you are Robert Pattinson’s future wife…We got it….Next…
Robsessed1986

I agree with your first sentence totally. Until my brother came out, he was quite the ladies man, he dated girls all the time and they loved him because he was really good to them. A few got upset when he came out because they wanted something more from him, but they all remain good friends of his to this day. I would never have looked at my brother and thought, “now he looks gay!”, and he’s my brother! Some people have no clue what they are talking about.
Robsessed1986

I’ve heard that some people think Sponge Bob and and his best friend Patrick Star are gay. Some people are truly pathetic.

What? Do you truly believe everyone thinks the way that you do? Perhaps some of us have REALLY GREAT GAYDAR that goes all Fourth of July whenever she is onscreen.
fakerbuster

another psychotic robsessed bitch attacking Kristen cant you dumbass haters get new material ?this shit is getting really old
French Flies

I’m not “robsessed”. Wow, you can’t see past your own agenda, can you? No reality can penetrate that finely polished veneer of delusion that you apply like a shellack of stupidity before standing in line for two days to see a Twilight film for the 11th time.
French Flies

BTW – GC posts this crap because it gets hearts a pumping. It’s the single most attention getting topic on their site.
Katia

They never miss the chance, do they?
French Flies

I think he is considered gay only because being sweet, polite and restrained are considered feminine qualities. That’s truly a shame because these are characteristics of heroes and good men – something we suffer a lack of in entertainment today.

Anyway, it’s surely a compliment for the gays, isn’t it?
French Flies

Tom Cruise, Hugh Jackman, and John Travolta are pretty good company to be lumped in with. I doubt highly that these rumors will affect his career. And even if he were gay, think Neil Patrick Harris and Amber Heard for out actors who enjoy prolific careers as hetero characters.
Ruby Diamond

I’m in agreement with you French Fries, however, that does NOT make it right. I’d go after this person/persons simply because its ‘Plain Wrong’! FVKNG Cyber Bully. I’d nail his ball$$$ to the wall and make him pay up big time!
JP

I doubt he is going to lose any sleep over this. I would put a bet on him having a new girlfriend pretty soon or HAS a girlfriend but she is yet to be found out about. I think these issues only push the fact that he needs a new one… maybe his next movie. I doubt he will have trouble finding one to be perfectly honest. And for people who want him to be gay, even if he was, do you really think in your wildest dreams he is EVER going to tell anyone! Dream on people, that will lose him most of his female fan base…then again Lady GaGa lives off her gay fans so who knows.
Steven

I dont know if hes GAY or STR8…Either way, we still wont have him in our beds lol…But, if he is really “GAY” im sure his Manager dont want him to come out so they never do…Would yall have believed this was a FAKE cover if they were talking about Bieber hahaaha..

Clearly another fabricated story! This is definitely getting old…
Anonymous

Poor taylor, its his own business, if he is gay then he have to come out by him self, not some fucking magazine. But I don’t think he is gay, he has said he was straight, so I believe him. And he has always had an eye for kristen, so he is probably not gay. Cant believe this, there were many rumors about kristen being gay, but there were not so many rumors like this. Poor taylor, he is the target of some peoples mean games.
Blake

At what age do fan girls mature into real woman? Because until then, their opinions are irrelevant!

Not that I am saying Mr Lautner is gay, but none of you have even given definitive reasons as to why you think he is straight!

And the most LAUGH OUT LOUD comment belongs to the idiot who thinks he is to hot and muscular to be gay, please tell me you were being deliberately ironic!

A far greater percentage of gay men are “muscle mad” than straight men, in fact most straight men do not put that much effort in, because they know there are women who would settle for them!
stark

bored to death..
Celest

Clearly someone is jealous of his beauty, class, charm, sweetness….. I guess a boy( male jealousy sometimes is worse than female jealousy) did that fake cover maybe a gay one actually who would so desperately like to have him in his bed…Really PATHETIC..
Ee

only a matter of time before he does come out
Anne

I agree with you! And you forgot another quality about Taylor: he always looks happy. What apparently makes him look gay…
Anonymous

I’ve read some funny stuff about this, sort of “20 reasons make me think you’re a gay”. I don’t remember all of them, only one. “I think you are a gay ‘couz you don’t have male-friends, only female-friends. And ladies love gays, ‘couz they are so sensitive, and men hate them”.

When he was telling about his training for the New Moon, he said: “I’ve had to change my diet and to put something into my mouth every three hours”. Oh yeah… Rob & Kris were laughing. And that playful kiss on MTV MA…

I know, it’s all joking, but each joke is only partly a joke.

Oh, please, Kristen treats him like a brother as far as we can see, and it was when they were promoting New Moon when Rob and Kristen were first spotted unguarded as an item. Besides, he is what, two years younger than her.

Laarni

If this was done by someone who really wants to hurt Taylor, then that someone has a really mean soul. Otherwise, it is very sad and tragic that some people would like to proclaim a famous actor to be gay to lend credence to their chosen lifestyle. Lesson: watch out Robert Pattinson. Don’t be seen going out with gay producers, or you will be the next one targetted. Ah, cruel world.
Solarflare7

Taylor isn’t gay wtf i guess that kid editor likes to start rumors
Linda

I hope he sues them
tmpr

you can’t sue for being called gay as it is not an insult, you absolutely ridiculous, homophobic fantwits.
Miss Suzanne

I’m not a fan – girl or twit. But I’m afraid you’re wrong – he can sue for liable. Insult or not, it’s something that was printed about him that was false.

And just because some people want him to sue does NOT make them homophobic – grow up.
Anonymous

Taylor should pay no attention to this and ignore it as there is nothing to be upset about. So what if someone called him gay? There is nothing to be ashamed about being gay, I don’t get why people get upset even if they’re straight at being called gay like its a bad word or something. We all get called something that we may or not be, so what? People focus too much on other people’s perceptions on them. Taylor, embrace all your fans-gay,straight, transgender etc. Americans are too uptight when it comes to sex and sexual orientation at the end of the day it doesn’t matter what people think and Taylor should just hold his head up high. Now, personally do I get the vibe he might find men attractive? No, but if he does that’s his business if he chooses to explore it I for one would love to see him and that Colton kid from Teen Wolf together, those two would be a hot couple if they were gay.

oh sarahblue: take those meds every day and not just once in a while. you wont have to suffer with all those horrible delusions and feel the need to spread lies just to feel better about yourself.

I wouldn’t doubt he is gay. Definitely has that vibe and look. Pathetic thing is that if he is, he isn’t owning up to it. Make it a non-issue by admitting it and move on.

just because taylor is the cutest guy on the planet dont make him gay.it wouldnt matter to me if he was. i would still admire him and i think the ones that dont should get live for them selves. just saying

That person who is writing such story seems to have a vendetta against Taylor. That headline is definitely fake and the person knew that the falseness would be discovered . Taylor can speak for himself if he were gay. Like someone said above, this is someone who wants Taylor to be gay. He has already said that he is not.
james gulley

why in the hell dont you shut your pie holes . if he is so what. it wouldnt be the only gay person in the world. which hes not. a mind is a terrable thing to waiste. get the picture. leave taylor alone and pick on some one else. just saying.

you jealous little punks , any one of you would give any thing to be in his shoes. but they wouldnt look as good on you. so pick on some body else. and leave taylor lautner alone. if you feel that way who gives a big shit.

sorry honey but half the people you think you know will be hiding things. Me for example (i know we don’t know each other but i want you to think about this okay) I have had girlfriends before. Most of them cheated on me. I’m not saying that i’m not into ladies any more but i can proudly say that i like dick as well. and for the longest time i kept it to my self. lol. so, that just means that there is still a possibility just cross your fingers honey. besides i have a best friend ( a girl ) andrea who would just die if he was gay or bi. However; if he is or not is non of the people business. it’s his personal life and people should respect that. If he is Power to the Pride man. lol. Good luck TL (that is if you are gay and if you are not) to your acting career.

This magazine cover is a butt load of CRAP!! Everyone knows that Taylor Lautner isn’t gay. Even if he was, people couldn’t change or get him to change the decision he made. He might be in the Twilight Saga, but he isn’t gay. Plus it’s a great Series!
