Beware of Ireland, home to Vampire Chroniclers
You thought Romania was the country to fear. You figured that was the verboten land, the place you would stay far away from so you’d never be bitten. But a story in IrishCentral.com suggests that it might actually be Ireland that’s producing all these vampires and vampire scribes.
Consider this: Bram Stoker, the godfather of undead literature, was from Ireland. And did you know Anne Rice is an Irish American? And then Angel from “Buffy” was shown to have been made into a vampire in Ireland!
Need I say more?
Will you stay away from or flock to the land of Erin Go Bragh?

Vampire Lipstick!
Ah, the Twi-merchandising engine rolls along.
If shirts and those ever-so-pseudo-cool leather wristbands weren’t enough, now you can add Twilight lipstick to your makeup bag!
It’s called Lip Venom V (is that a little “True Blood” reference in there?) and it comes from Hollywood Crush. It also comes in a little vial so it looks like blood, says Entertainment Weekly.
So does this make you look like a vampire or just make you more attractive to vampires?
What Bella Says in the New Cover to New Moon Book
Edward who?
Oh you mean, the VAMPIRE WHO BROKE MY HEART AND DUMPED ME IN THE FOREST?
I don’t even know where he is.
Nor do I need to.
Because I have a red-hot werewolf-boy with his arms around me.
Edward, eat your heart out.
Oh, that’s right. Vampires don’t have hearts. Well, I do and mine’s a-beatin’ fast thanks to Jacob.
OK, so that’s just what I imagine Bella saying in this new book cover for “New Moon” featuring Jacob and Bella on center stage. It’s almost enough to get me to buy another copy.
What about you?

Vampires Don’t go for the Forehead!
Let me just say for the record: vampires don’t suck blood from the forehead. They go for the neck or the inside of the thigh.
But why let facts get in the way of a good rumor? Because rumors are a-flying that there could be a vampire attack in Lake Stevens, Wash. Apparently, a seventh-grade girl hugged a fifth-grade boy, then allegedly dragged him to the woods and bit him. On the forehead.
So the school’s up in arms, the kids are freaking out, and the local TV station is reporting vampire rumors.
Can I just say: COPY VAMP! And the Copy Vamp got it wrong. Vampires don’t draw blood from the forehead.
Unless, maybe this is a new strain of vampires that are set to take over the world through our foreheads! Slather garlic on your faces!

Vampires and kids go hand in hand
It all started in the 1970s, apparently. Thanks to the Count on “Sesame Street,” a bunny who is also a vampire in “Bunnicula” and, of course, the chocolate-y goodness of “Count Chocula” cereal, we as a society have learned to accept the vampire. So says an article in the Examiner.com, positing that pop culture depictions of vampires over the last 40 years have socialized us to the undead so we can now embrace sparkly Edward and fangy Bill Compton today.
“The vampire is now a friend and no longer a monster to be feared,” the article says. “Today’s thirty somethings are the ones who were experienced the vampire from the beginning. We are the ones who found these monsters to be cute and no longer scary. Would it be possible that this may be a reason for the rise in vampire in literature?”
You see, this is just the sort of stuff I worry about. It’s all hypnosis, people. It’s all vampires lulling us into a false sense of security with bunnies and chocolates and ‘oh look, something sparkly’ so they can take over the world! Right?
What do you think?

Ahoy Matey! We’re Sailing with Vampires!
Oh my. Where do I even start here? In many ways, this post sort of writes itself.

Next summer you can take a trip from Seattle to Juneau with the actors who play Alice and Emmett Cullen in Twilight. Brought to you by a company called Cruises, Cruises, Cruises, the trip will include movie viewings, a costume ball and trivia contests, according to this report.
Will you be signing up for a little Ahoy Matey with vampires?

Cam Gigandet Can’t Resist Vampire Roles
“Twilight’s” villain, but also a pretty buff babe in his own right despite being evil, can’t seem to stop playing the undead. Cam Gigandet, who starred as Bella’s nemesis in the first flick (and was killed by the Cullens), has now been cast a “young wasteland sheriff who is part vampire” in the upcoming film “Priest.”
I guess half vampire isn’t so bad. But really, Cam, is there something you want to tell us? Is life imitating art? Do you only shoot after dark? Enquiring minds want to know about your vampire predilection.

Stephenie Meyer is the Godfather
I kind of picture Stephenie Meyer as a female Marlon Brando. OK, maybe she doesn’t talk in that Don Corleone voice, but she kind of is the “Godfather,” at least when it comes to vampires and vampire romance. According to this MetroNews story, she receives the shooting schedule for the Twilight films – Summit is now filming “New Moon” – and then visits the set or location when her favorite scenes are being shot. “It’s really cool because she comes up here every once in a while for her favourite scenes. At the beginning of filming, she gives a list of her favourite scenes that she wants to be up here for. You’ve got the best person in the world to ask for advice. So if you have a question, you can just walk on over and ask her,” says Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob.
So I’m picturing Stephenie sort of holding court, actors flocking to her, creative types on the film asking her for advice. Bowing down before her – the legendary vampire chronicler.

Dueling Naked Chests…
Call it battle of the dueling naked chests!
When New Moon debuts Nov. 20, the debates about Team Edward and Team Jacob will only intensify. After all, this is the installment in the saga where Jacob gets to stretch his muscles as a friend, as a potential love interest and as a supernatural creature himself with 25 extra pounds of muscle!
But not so fast. Don’t rule out the vampire who owns Bella’s heart. Because Rob Pattinson looks like he might have hit the gym too – gotta keep up with the wolves after all – in this photo montage shot by paparazzi in Italy. The scene is when Edward is about to reveal himself to the Volturi by taking his shirt all the way off in the sun.
So the question now is which side do you fall on in the battle of the dueling chests now that you’ve seen the New Moon trailer showing off Jacob’s build and this photo sequence with Edward?
