Robert Pattinson has been caught up in another heroin scandal

Robert Pattinson has been caught up in another heroin scandal weeks after dismissing reports he overdosed in New York - U.S. government officials have seized a "Twilight"-themed cache of the drug featuring the actor's face. According to Drug Enforcement Administration officials, heroin baggies featuring a cartoon of Pattinson and other "Twilight" characters were recently seized in West Hempstead, Long Island. Officials say the "Twilight"-themed heroin has been gaining popularity in the months leading up to the much-hyped premiere of the vampire franchise's second installment, "New Moon." The drug bust comes weeks after 23-year-old Pattinson slammed a string of sick rumours suggesting he had succumbed to a heroin overdose. Lashing out at the media for upsetting his family, he said: "I had a heroin overdose in New York (according to the rumours); that was an exciting one for my mother."
