YourTango goes inside real-life vampire relationships.
These days, it seems, everyone wants to bed a vampire. Forget Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, a hideous foreigner intent on taking the life and the virtue of nineteenth-century English ladies. Today's vampires, like True Blood's Bill Compton and Twilight's Edward Cullen, are portrayed as crush-worthy hunks. Their combination of unearthly beauty, perfect chivalry and dangerous nature make them irresistible to women.
Bill, Edward and co. are the stuff of fiction, but there is, in fact, a community of people who identify as vampires and existed long before the current pop culture craze. So what's it like to date a … Read More
Do vampires, werewolves or King Kong have you clutching the sheets at night?
According to Esquire, women aren't attracted to vampires in movies and on television because they're hot—we're attracted to them because we all secretly want to have sex with gay dudes. Sorry, Robert Pattinson, turns out you just remind us of a sparkly, prancing dandy. And vampire Eric, apparently we think you would make a great addition to our next sleepover.

But if we're only into vampires because we want to bone dudes playing for the other team, what about other monsters? What does it mean … Read More
Robert Pattinson is crushing so hard on Kristen, the studio fears it will affect the franchise.
Up on the Vancouver set of Eclipse, the Robert Pattinson–Kristen Stewart romance is getting so hot the filmmakers fear it will harm the blockbuster movie franchise. OK! reports that while filming Eclipse, the movie in which vampire-dishrag lovers Edward and Bella get engaged, Rob and Kristen have been spending nights together and referring to each other on-set as "my wife" and "my husband." (Off-set, we assume they have totally different pet names for each other.) Which is totally how normal twentysomethings act when they're not banging each other silly!
Studio execs, however, are not as blissful as … Read More
The True Blood actress's rep claims that no, she is not in a family way.
We've seen it before. Even if we pray not to, we'll see it again: headlines claiming that a svelte actress is pregnant just because she is sporting a loose frock, bending at the waist, bloated, or inhaling.
Just ask Jennifer Aniston, who is plagued by such rumors every time she wears a jacket instead of a tank top. Or Reese Witherspoon, the mother of two who occasionally looks as though she actually birthed her own children. Or Eva Longoria, who responded to the chatter about her supposed bump by explaining that — at a size 2 — she was not expecting, … Read More
4 reasons why Twilight isn't an example of love in the real world.
Some of you told me I wouldn’t like Twilight, but I bought the book anyway just to see what all the hoopla was about. Well, I finally finished it, and…I appreciated the romance-factor, but I couldn’t help thinking it was giving girls the wrong idea about love and relationships. I did a feminist reading of Twilight and here’s what bugged me:
1. Bella has no outside hobbies.
After she moves to Washington, Bella makes a few friends, but she’s not interested in them. Mostly her life is about Edward, Edward, Edward. But what relationship can survive that? Take it from Simone … Read More
The Twilight star is single and doesn't know what girls see in Edward Cullen.
Robert Pattinson says he is single and not, repeat, not dating his co-star Kristin Stewart.
In an interview with Britian's OK! Magazine, Robert said that he was "young, free and single" and simply "very good friends," with Kristin. We suppose that means he's not dating any of his alleged other girlfriends such as Camilla Belle, Natalie Portman, and New Moon co-star Nikki Reed
But according to Robert, although he thinks his female fans are "awesome" he doesn't believe he has it in him to be a heartthrob. Watch: Vampires Make Better Boyfriends

These magic-wielding, ghost-talking, vampire killing wives are the best on TV.
Last week I ran a list of the 7 best husbands on Sci-Fi television. While some of you thought I dropped the ball on a few of these, lots of fan favorites made it into the mix. This week, I foolishly tried to take a slightly different angle for the ladies' side. Instead of going with the best wives of Sci-Fi TV, I tried to be a hero and go for "supernatural"*. (Not the Santana concept album.) And the pickings are slim. Some of the best supernatural shows in TV history (True Blood, Reaper, Supernatural and Pushing Daisies) … Read More
Kristin Stewart who? Robert Pattinson has a slew of celebrities who are dying to date him.
It seems even celebrities cannot resist the charms of Twilight star Robert Pattinson. Robert's charisma is so powerful that the engaged, married, and otherwise taken cannot help but pine for the actor; even age and sexual orientation don't seem to get in the way of the RPatt love.
1. Jennifer Love Hewitt, who is very involved with (but not engaged) to costar Jamie Kennedy, believes Robert Pattinson could be her very own Aladdin. Read: Jennifer Love Hewitt Engaged (Almost) She told MTV News (via Celebitchy):
I'd pass out [if I met … Read More
How could the sexual tension between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart not spill off-screen?
It's late July, do you know where your nerds are? If they're smart (and rich) nerds, they're in sunny, southern California rubbing elbows with Orcs, Morks and dorks at Comic-Con. The festival started out as a gathering of people interested in sci-fi, super heroes, fantasy and the occult. But it's morphed into a massive multi-media event that touches everything involving magic, paranormal and capes. Where there was once a few guys dressed like Jedi, there is now thousands and thousands of fans waiting in line to check out the latest sneak peek blockbuster preview, meet the writer of their … Read More
A blog on The Daily Beast infers that something truly foul is afoot in Bon Temps.
Are you familiar with the show True Blood? It's part of the vampire invasion of aught eight. The program features few of the cuddly and cute bloodsuckers from the Twilight series (though Bill Compton does have a lot in common with handsome Edward Cullen). These undead sons (and daughters) of the night are dark, dangerous and debauched. They care about two things: feeding and fornicating (not necessarily in that order).
Thanks to a synthetic blood developed by Japanese scientists, the vampires in the world of True Blood have come "out of the coffin" and into mainstream … Read More
