Robert Pattinson has been caught up in another heroin scandal weeks after dismissing reports he overdosed in New York - US government officials have seized a Twilight-themed cache of the drug featuring the actor's face.

According to Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) 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."
