Robert Pattinson has launched a scathing attack on online gossip blogs for making up rumors about his life.

The British actor — who has become a worldwide superstar and tabloid favorite since starring in the smash hit Twilight movie franchise — admits he used to check the internet to read about himself and claims it became addictive.

But now he calls internet gossip “toxic”.

“You can’t let yourself be dictated to by anonymous faces,” he said.

Pattinson, 23, has also blamed social-networking website Twitter for ruining his life.

“I can’t remember what my normal life is like,” the New Moon star told a Scottish newspaper in a recent interview.

“Because of internet stuff and Twitter, there will be a crowd if you are in a place for more than half an hour.

“I’ve learned never to stay in the same place for more than 20 minutes.”
