Breaking Dawn Facebook Scam: Don’t Get Fooled!
April 11, 2011 By 3 Comments
There is a scam going on on Facebook regarding Breaking Dawn:
“Facebook users are finding themselves tagged in their online friends’ photo albums, in an attack seemingly targeted at fans of the “Twilight” teen vampire romance movies.
Following an attack against photo albums using an image of a Playboy-style bunny girl, scammers are now pretending to link to a game promoting the upcoming movie “Twilight Breaking Dawn” starring heart throbs Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as the starcrossed lovers Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
As well as Facebook photo albums, users are also being tricked into “Liking” the scam links.”

Hunger Games and Twilight on Annual Banned Book List
April 11, 2011 By 18 Comments
According to the AP:
“ Suzanne Collins didn’t expect everyone to approve of “The Hunger Games.”
“I’ve read in passing that people were concerned about the level of violence in the books,” Collins said of her dystopian trilogy that’s sold more than a million copies. “That’s not unreasonable. They are violent. It’s a war trilogy.”
In what’s become a virtual rite of passage for young adult sensations, a Collins novel has made its first appearance on the American Library Association’s annual top 10 list of books most criticized in their communities. “The Hunger Games,” the title work of Collins’ series about young people forced to hunt and kill each other on live television, has been cited for violence and sexual content. In recent years, J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” books and Stephenie Meyer’s vampire novels also have been on the association’s list.
“Hunger Games” ranked No. 5 this year and was joined Monday by Meyer’s “Twilight” (No. 10), which debuted on the list last year, and Sherman Alexie’s “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,” winner in 2007 of the National Book Award for young people’s literature. Criticisms of Alexie’s novel include language, racism and sexual content.”

Rappelling Time For Breaking Dawn Actors
April 8, 2011 By 8 Comments
No we don’t mean that the actors are fighting off aggressive fans or paparazzi, or even a Team Edward vs. Team Jacob knock down and drag out fight in the sense of repelling. This is rappelling as in rock climbing. TwiFans during their trip to Canada discovered a set that looked like it was set up for a rock climbing and forest exploration sequence.
Based on the books it’s seems likely this might be a Bella’s first hunt kind of location. Check out more photos and details on TwiFans.
