We have been asked to release the following statement on behalf of Rupert:

In response to articles published this week, Rupert Grint wishes it to be known that he has never met Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton and has not nor would he, make any negative comment about them, as has been stated. He has also never made any negative comment about Los Angeles. He will be taking action against those parties spreading these falsehoods."

RupertGrint.net wishes to remind fans to take any rumours or stories published by tabloid sources with a (rather large) grain of salt - however convincing they may seem!
