A representative for Taylor Lautner has dismissed internet speculation the Twilight hunk died after an alleged overdose.
Reports suggesting the 17-year-old star had died began circulating widely on Monday after it was reported on a number of internet blogs and by users on social networking site Twitter.com.
The bogus rumors alleged Lautner died at a Hollywood party after accidentally overdosing on cocaine. But a spokesperson for Twilight film studio Summit Entertainment has moved quickly to confirm Lautner is still alive, insisting, “This is a hoax.”




Typical hollywood s*** starters. Because he’s a good kid and doesn’t do drugs or any of that s*** people feel the need to smear his reputation. Taylor if you ever read this don’t let it get to you. Everyone knows your a good guy. They’re all just jelous of you because they’ll never be as famous or as well liked
