Lautner gay cover fake; Adele tops sales

People magazine said that a cover apparently featuring "Twilight" actor Taylor Lautner coming out as a gay man was "100 percent fake." The fake People cover, dated January 7, 2012, was circulated on the Internet over the holidays. It featured a picture of Lautner with text saying "Tired of rumors, the Twilight star opens up about his decision to finally come out."br A representative for Lautner did not respond to requests for comment.br The authors of the hoax were not immediately known.br That Adele's "21" will rank as the year's top-selling album is no surprise - the English singer-songwriter's hits "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You" dominated playlists in 2011. What is surprising is that "21," sold more than 5 million copies. Quite a feat, considering the last time an album topped the year-end chart with more than 5 million copies sold was in 2004, when Usher's "Confessions" moved 7.9 million.br The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled the poster for the 84th Academy Awards. The art features the iconic Oscar statuette alongside memorable images from eight films spanning eight decades: "Gone with the Wind" (1939), "Casablanca" (1943), "Giant" (1956), "The Sound of Music" (1965), "The Godfather" (1972), "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989), "Forrest Gump" (1994) and "Gladiator" (2000).br John Russell, Reuters.
