OH. MY. GAWD. WTHell is this?! Twitards got their first look at Bella’s engagement ring from Edward Cullen in the new Twilight: Eclipse trailer. Well, author Stephanie Meyers and Infinite Jewelry Co. is banking on suckering Twitards on spending more money on crap that they don’t need by producing a replica of Bella’s engagement ring. Available in three different styles, there is “fashion” at $35, “fine” at $479, and “genuine” at $1979 which features real diamonds. WTF! Are you serious? 2K for a ring that looks like a turtle shell?
“Experience your romance with Edward Cullen in a whole new way when you slip on Bella’s Engagement RingTM! You’ll love showing off the radiant stones in this elegant, domed-oval, gold ring. In true Victorian-era design, your ring is created by master artisans with an open-work gallery and a finely polished edge that surrounds the brilliant faceted stones. How exciting for you to own the only, original Bella’s Engagement Ring(trademark) in the world!”
Experience your romance with Edward Cullen huh? I settle with a pair of brass knuckles that says “Twilight Blows”.
For ya suckers that really really want one or for guys that want to sucker a girl into sleepin’ with ya, go to Infinite Jewelry Co. official site.

Let’s face it. New Moon is the most popular movie right now. It’s pretty obvious that actors/actresses are dying to be in the movie. People just want a small sip from the cash cow that is Twilight. It seems Tom Cruise is one of those individuals. Apparently, Tom Cruise auditioned for the role of Edward Cullen and other various characters in New Moon. Unfortunately, with classic movies such as Top Gun and Jerry Maguire under his belt, he still couldn’t land the role of the glittering emo vampire. Thanks to Electric Spoofaloo, we get to check out the audition video of Cruise (played by Evan Ferrante) acting the part of “Eddie Cullen”. Unfortunately, not even his dark sunglasses can hide the insanity that is Tom Cruise. I might actually have watched New Moon if Tom Cruise was actually in the movie. Summit dropped the ball on that one.
Bravo Norton Shores, Michigan! Bravo! During last weekends mad rush to theatres by fangirls and fanboys to see New Moon, an incident occurred in a local theatre in Norton Shores. During a screening of New Moon, a 17 year old girl was bitten in the neck by a presumed 45 year old man. During the movie, the culprit was firing off lewd and perverted comments to the teen who was sitting in front of him. Verbal harassments turned into an assault as when the movie ended, the man leaned over and bit her in the neck. Fortunately, his bite didn’t break skin to cause any severe injuries. Unfortunately, the pervert escaped and still at large. It is safe to assume that majority of teen girls (and some boys) that watched New Moon last weekend sat in the theatres dreaming (and probably drooling) over the idea of being bitten by an glittering emo vampire like Edward Cullen. I guess for one teen, that dream turned for the worst. As bad as this event sounds, I can’t help but chuckle a little. Regardless of my personal feeling of the Twilight-verse, I hope this dirty biting bastard gets captured. Sicko.

The chaotic event called the Twilight New Moon movie release is upon us and the massive amount of Twilight themed merchandise releasing this month is violently beating us on our heads. Earlier this month, toy manufacturer Mattel released their Twilight inspired Bella Swan and Edward Cullen Barbie dolls. They seem to be a hit as many online retailers are sold out and stores such as Target only has a few piece left on their shelves. Well, the insanity of a Twilight and Barbie mash up is not over. Online toys and collectibles retailer Entertainment Earth just released images (and taking pre orders) of the next Twilight Barbie doll. Getting the “Barbie” treatment this time will be Jacob Black. Unlike Edward and Bella Barbie, Jacob is a bit less covered up. Rather than going with the regular long haired and grungy Jacob that we saw in Twilight, Mattel chose to go with the more clean up and topless version of Jacob that you see in the New Moon trailers. Mattel might not have the likeness of Taylor Lautner down, but they did stick a tattoo on his arm and put him in a pair of frayed cut off jean shorts. A tattoo and cut off jeans short must scream Jacob Black right? Right…? Maybe a name tag on his chiseled chest that says “Hi! I’m Jacob Black from the movie New Moon which is a sequel to the blockbuster, Twilight in which was a movie adaptation of a novel by author Stephanie Meyers. Also, I lost my shirt because I tore it off in the name of passion” might help. On the other hand, a standard packaging with his name would suffice. Regardless, Team Jacob fans will be pleased. I’m just a bit scared with the picture as Jacob Barbie seems to be staring right into my soul…
Jacob Black Barbie will be in stores in February 2010. Oh yeah… when the hell am I going to get a good Alice Cullen figure made? Huh?!
Where to buy: Order Twilight Jacob Black Barbie Doll from Entertainment Earth!
Forget Bella. Screw Team Edward and Jacob. I’m all about Alice Cullen. I admit it. I saw the first Twilight movie at a midnight screening. I didn’t go because I was a fanatic of the Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight saga books (never read the books), but I was curious to see what all the hype was about. I have to admit that I didn’t really like the movie much, but one thing that I did love was Ashley Greene who portrayed Alice Cullen. Ashley automatically became one of my “celebrity crushes” as soon as she appeared in the movie. I guess you can call it “love a first sight”. That might be the reason why I’m so excited to see Ashley Greene on the cover of the December 2009 issue to Maxim. Following the epic Battlestar Galactica themed cover last month featuring Tricia Helfer (Six) and Grace Park (Boomer), Maxim follows it up with a stunning cover of my favorite Cullen girl. What’s even better is that the issue will feature two different covers of Ashley Greene (one on each side). The issue will feature a deliciously sexy photo spread of Ashley, along with an interview with the starlet. Ashley explains in her interview about how much she wanted the role of Alice Cullen and the demanding physical training she needed to go through for New Moon. Unfortunately, I have to admit that Ashley Greene is the only reason that I want to go see New Moon. That and watching Edward get his ass handed to him. The December Maxim issues hits newsstands on November 17th.

The Fleshlight WITH BITE!
The vampire popularity has officially crossed the line. Due to the insane fanfare of Twilight and Vampire Diaries, people are producing anything and everything that they can think of that they can cross promote with the vampire craze. Unfortunately, this brings forth some really insane products that makes you go “WTF?”. Introducing, Fleshlight’s “Succu Dry” vampire sex toy in a can. If you aren’t familiar with Fleshlight, Fleshlight is a very popular male sex toy manufacturer. Fleshlight’s gimmick is that sex toys are concealed in container that looks like an ordinary flashlight or 16 ounce can (like one of those giant Monster energy drinks). In an effort to tap into the vampire craze, Fleshlight has created a male sex toy that features a vampire mouth and fangs.
Introducing Succu Dry Sex in a Can from Fleshlight, the world’s first vampire inspired sex toy for men. Take a walk on the dark side and get familiar with this pale brew. But be careful! Though this may feel like love at first bite, make sure you have wood poised to penetrate before you get completely drained! Enjoy to excess to ensure encounters with Succu Dry are A-Positive experience.
Fleshlight also called upon internet model/burlesque dancer, Masuimi Max to be the spokeswomen for Succu Dry. I guess you can’t blame Fleshlight for trying to meet the demands of the legions of vampire fanatics. In my opinion, this is ridiculous and scary as shit.

Twilight, Vampire Diaries, Count Chocula… Unfortunately, vampires are the shit right now. The good ole days of Nosferatu and Bram Stoker seems long gone and I can’t really seem to get into the whole Edward Cullen and the whole sparkly skin deal (I still love Count Chocula though), but whatever. I’ll go with it.
The cool guys and gals over at Harcos feeds the blood sucking masses by releasing their new “out of the box” energy drink. If you weren’t aware, Harcos was the creators behind the popular Mana and Health energy potions which was a huge hit for fans of RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons and MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. Now taping into the the need for more vampire-related goodies, Harcos has made a “Blood Energy Potion”.
New from the makers of Mana and Health Energy Potion comes Blood Energy Potion: the world’s first syntetic blood beverage. The fruit punch flavor packs four hours of energy aling with iron, protein, and electrolytes. Not only does Blood Energy Potion have a similar nutritional makeup to real blood, but it has the same color, look, and consistency. Get real blood nutrients without that real blood taste!
Holy shit?! Blood and electrolytes?! Its a difficult to wrap my head around that pairing, but like most things vampire, I’ll just take it as it is. I love fruit punch so I’m pretty sure I will dig this as well, but the idea of drinking something with the same color and consistency as blood scares me a bit. However, I’ll get over it (not sure if thats a good or bad thing). So for you fangirls (and fanboys) that want to be a vampire like the Cullens, drink up and go run a mile or two.
The Blood Energy Potion will be available right before Halloween and will go a cool $3.99. Its “B Positively” delicious (okay, that shit was lame. Sorry)
