Twilight Fans - Burger King wants you for commercial...

This is legit and I found via Twilight Lexicon:

There are so many bogus Twilight related casting scams out there that we are happy to announce one that is actually for real. So, if you live in the immediate New York City area, you are in luck. Summit has verified that it is legit and it is for Burger King. According to the official information that is being done through the group actor cast:

“In anticipation of the new movie “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” an open call hosted on ActorCast.com is looking for the biggest Edward fans and the biggest Jacob fans out there. We want you to tell us why you’re on Team Jacob or why you’re on Team Edward.

Convince us. Prove to us why Edward or Jacob is the right choice for Bella. Or why Edward or Jacob is just simply your personal favorite. It can be because you think Edward is Bella’s true love.

Kissing Robert Pattinson leads to Swine Flu?

I saw this over at Twilight Lexicon:

It seems that a cardboard cutout of Robert Pattinson is giving health authorities cause for concern. Too many people kissing Rob vicariously might lead to swine flu. Digital Spy explains:

“Twilight fans have reportedly been banned from kissing a cardboard cutout of Robert Pattinson for fear that they may spread swine flu.

The Sunday Telegraph reports that employees have now placed a notice on the cutout which reads: “Please help reduce the spread of germs by refraining from giving Edward, or any other character for that matter, a kiss or a hug.”

Rob’s cutout is not the only one to cause problems. It seems that Taylor Lautner cutouts in Burger King restaurants are being hoisted at an alarming rate. Several stores in the chain have had to replace their cutout multiple times.

See the entire explanation on Digital Spy.

Mandy's Mind - This cracks me up - I mean really? I would deffo pose with the cardboard for photos and, depending on the amount of alcohol in my system, maybe get a tad close, but kissing it? and these people are worried about SWINE FLU? I think there are OTHER things to be worried about ;)

Twilight Crime Spree Happening in a town near you

There's a "Twilight" crime wave sweeping the nation -- particularly at Burger King restaurants -- and all the suspects seem to be the most fearless creatures on the planet ... teenage girls with a crush.

TMZ has learned multiple Burger King restaurants across the country are reporting life-size promotional posters of Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson are being ripped right off the BK windows in broad daylight ... horrible time for a vampire.

So far, the interstate theft has affected BKs in Maine, Delaware and Montana. One Burger King rep tell us, "The girls just walk up in the middle of the day ... rip off the posters and run ... we've had to replace them over and over."


Um-I may or may not have considered this.... and I may or may not have a friend who attempted this at a local bookstore.... ha!
