In a somewhat random move, Twilight’s Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) recently unveiled to the world Vampire Transformer, a new iPhone app. The Vampire Transformer app allows swans of the iPhone using sort to take any picture and blend it with a vampire of your choice. An iPhone vampire makeover of your photos if you will. I only say this is a somewhat random move on his part because although it’s always nice to cash in on the vampire franchise you’re involved in, I feel Peter is truly being sincere when he says it’s “for the fans.” More »


Citizens of Lawndale, Calif. and beyond, say hello to the garlic plant flower (pictured). You’ll know it as the reason for the perpetual garlic smell in your city and why there’s hardly a vampire in sight. At least that’s what Lawndale’s councilmen believe. According to Councilman Jim Ramsey, “Since we put them out there, there hasn’t been a vampire seen in Lawndale. Why should we take it out and let the vampires move back?” More »


Despite the casting of Ethan Hawke in the upcoming Daybreakers film, leaked stills of Daybreakers vampires suggest that the vampires in this film are not of the Twilight-pretty sort. Given that it’s by no means a sappy, teen romance, Daybreakers should satisfy swans of the gory, grotesque vampire-lovin’ variety. For a lot of people, that is what a vampire should be/look like. Personally, I’m just pleased that Ethan Hawke is in the film. More »


Okay, so I’m well aware that a vampire’s main driving force in life is the power of suck…or sucking. 2009 on the other hand, did not suck (as in was not bad) for vampires. In fact, 2009 was pretty much the year of the vampire. The following is a list of vampire highlights from 2009: More »


Apparently, Jonathon Sharkey, otherwise known as the Vampire King, has announced from jail that he’s got plans to run for governor in Minnesota. If you’ll remember from last week, he was sent to jail for threatening to kill a judge and his family. Surprisingly enough, this wouldn’t be the first time he’s considered running for governor.

From Girlybubble: I’m cruel to myself sometimes. Just consider the title of this blog post, “Top 10 Cutest Boys of the Year.” With a sea of cute men readily available at my fingertips (not literally, I mean I can Google them), having to narrow down just 10 cute guys has been hard. But do-able! So please, ladies, gentleman…make sure you’re sitting down for this. More »


In addition to Gina Torres, Kelly Hu, James Remar and maybe Taylor Swift, the L-Word’s Mia Kirshner has recently signed on as a recurring cast member on The Vampire Diaries. With the amount of new additions to the cast, it seems that CW means business when it comes to the Vampire Diaries. Kirshner will be playing the role of Isobel, the wife of Alaric Saltzman (Matt Davis), everyone’s favorite history teacher slash vampire slayer. With the addition of Kirshner comes a semi-spoiler and more questions. More »


New York City-based arts & entertainment magazine The Improper recently conducted a poll asking, “Who’s the hottest vampire?” The choices of the poll include Robert Pattinson (New Moon), Alexander Skarsgård (HBO’s True Blood), Taylor Lautner (New Moon) and others. Wait a second…Taylor Lautner? Last time I checked, he played a wolf, not a vampire. Aside from this, one has to ask — why such a small number of poll answer options? More »


Sometimes I ask myself, is it coincidence that one of my favorite bands happens to call themselves Vampire Weekend? I do love vampires, probably just as much as the band Vampire Weekend. Vampire Weekend is an indie rock band hailing from New York City. The name Vampire Weekend is actually from an amateur filmed produced by one of the band members. Ironically, the film doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Vampires. More »


Korean pop music (Kpop) seriously takes the cake when it comes to random. Widely popular Kpop boy group 2PM recently delivered a Korean music awards performance featuring a vampire scene introduction. Being an actual fan of said Kpop boy group, the performance left me scratching my head a little bit. Or a lot. More »
