Vampire scare at Boston Latin leaves everyone confused

Did you guys hear about this one? According to The Boston Globe, Boston Latin School, a 400-year-old public school, is getting a lot of media attention lately due to rumors that vampires and werewolves walk amongst its alumni.

It seems the whole thing started when a couple of Twilight obsessed fangirls accused a fellow student of cutting someone’s neck and sucking her blood. Sadly, the crazy rumors don’t end there. Another student told the Boston Globe that a male student rumored to be a werewolf, wrote on Facebook that he would bring a gun to school because he was being harassed.

Apparently, the kids in Boston Latin  have lost it and are doing crazy things like carrying umbrellas to avoid exposure to the sun, and claiming to be “half-vampires” that drain their own blood to make their skin pale.  The police department and school faculty had to eventually step in to end the nonsense.  The school even emailed parents to reassure them that their kids were safe, and the school free of  vampires, but not mean kids:

“It has come to my attention that rumors involving ‘vampires’ began spreading through the building yesterday. I am very concerned that the safety of certain students may be jeopardized as targets of rumors and speculation. Please alert any adult in the building if you feel that any student is being harassed or targeted.”

Silly kids! But seriously, isn’t this how the whole Salem witch trials got started? Good thing a lot has changed since then.

Video: Twilight Board Game Unboxing

Last night we bought the Twilight Board Game at Borders to pass the time while we waited for the release of the DVD. We created an unboxing video of the game so you can see what to expect.  Thanks to Judy Razon for editing and filming this awesome video. Hope you enjoy it Twilight Fangs!

Twilight Actors: Where they showed up last night

Just Jared has a great post of where the actors showed up last night. Nicki Reed surprised fans in at Hot Topic in Chicago,  Rachelle Lafevre was at the Walmart in Salt Lake City, Utah, Ashley Green was at Hot Topic in Los Angeles, Edi Gathegi showed up at Borders in New York City, Peter Facinelli in Washinton, and Cahterine Hardwicke was at Borders in Dallas, TX.

Below is some video of the events. We’ll be posting our own experience soon.

Here’s a gallery of the Twilight party at Hot Topic in LA and Borders in NY. MTV also covered the Hot Topic party here.

Catherine Hardwicke:

Solomon Trimble (Sam Uley) will be at Walmart in Oregon

Ok, so maybe he’s not your favorite wolf-man/ shape-shifter in the Twilight Saga, but if you live in Oregon and plan to attend the DVD release party make sure you pack a digicam so you can take snapshots Solomon Trimble and a few other Twilight cast and crew members.  The Casting Scoop, says Jeff Feller (who shot the behind-the-scenes videos), Propmaker Bill Berkhert Jr, Oregon Casting Director Lana Veenker, Frat Boys Alex Mendeluk and Sean McGrath from the Port Angeles scene, Ayanna Berkshire (Cora at the Culver Café), Catherine Grimme  (Young Bella in the ballet school scene), Trish Egan( the High School Administrator), and fan favorite Solomon Trimble of the Quileute tribe will be at the Wood Village Walmart this Friday.  Fans will have to stand in line starting at 8pm and bring ONE item to be signed.  Check out the blog for more details.

What’s inside Edward’s Diary?

The cool ladies of Twilight Moms (yes, some of us adults LOVE Twilight) attended Hardwicke’s book signing, and asked her Edward’s journal.  Ever wondered what he wrote in all those journals he had in his room? Click the video to find out.

Twi-Stars celebrate DVD release in these five cities

Seth, webmaster extraordinaire, announced on Meyer’s website that Summit has released the names of the cities where actors/filmmakers will make special appearances at Twilight DVD parties. These will include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas and Salt Lake City. My guess (and this is just a guess), is that Meyer will be in Salt Lake City, Hardwicke will be in Dallas, Edi Gathegi in LA, and maybe, just maybe Pattinson in NY. We’ll have to wait and see who actually shows up where. Kellan may not be at any of them because he’s slipping into a Snuggie and throwing his own pajama party at home in a onsie, but who knows. He may surprise some fans out there.

So what do you think? Do you think Rob or Taylor will show up at any of the parties? Let us know if you happen to be one of the lucky fans to spot them at the parties tonight.

Jaime Kennedy says Jennifer Love Hewitt is his Bella

I actually watch ‘Ghost Whisperer’ because I tend to watch shows about  the supernatural,  and of course, I’m a closet fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt (I love her hair and outfits on the show). Turns out Jaime Kennedy is also a huge fan of his co-star too and has been dating her for some time. The couple denied rumors of their relationship for some time, but yesterday Jaime came clean on the Ryan Seacrest radio show.  OMG! has all the gossip goodness, but my favorite moment is when he makes a reference to Twilight.

“We have an intense connection,” he said. Making a Twilight reference, he added, “She’s my Bella. I don’t want to bite her neck, but I want her to live.”

Ah! JK is not the most handsome guy on earth, but who can resist a Twilight-reading guy? Good for her!
