Taylor Lautner’s People Magazine ‘Coming Out’ Issue Goes Viral

Taylor Lautner’s People Magazine cover story announcing he is gay has gone viral…even though it’s a total fraud. Not that that stopped the story from trending briefly on Twitter last night, or Russell Simmons from tweeting, ”proud of Taylor Lautner for his bravery and his courage.”

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.”

It looked and sounded pretty authentic, eh? But in a classic story of too gay to be true, People Magazine confirmed that the cover was a phony.

Simmons, Edward Cullen (Ha!), and brokenhearted tweens around the world weighed in on Twitter:

Disappointed that people would joke about someone coming out about their sexuality. Let Taylor Lautner be whoever he wants to be...

The nice thing is, now that Taylor Lautner has come out of the closet, there's enough room for Justin Bieber to stretch his legs in there.

Also, I refuse to find out why "Taylor Lautner" is trending; I assume he's been revealed to be the Zodiac killer and was brought to justice
