As we eagerly await the third installment to the Twilight saga, “Breaking Dawn: Part 1,” we cannot help but look back at where we’ve come so far on this blood sucking journey. At this point, all you #TeamEdward and #TeamJacob fans probably know all there is to know about the storyline and all of its characters. And the Breaking Dawn trailer has given us just a mere taste of what’s to come in the next movie.

Have you ever stopped and wondered, though, about the smaller things that you might not know these movies we’re obsessing over? You know, like who those guys in ‘ the wolf pack’ really are? Or how the hell Dakota Fanning ended up being cast in New Moon? Or what the real deal is behind Robert Pattinson’s eyebrows?

Check out the answers to these questions (and a bunch of other random facts about New Moon) here!

There are a lot of perks to being a celebrity. Fame, fortune and all that good stuff are a given, and it’s the reason why so many people would do just about anything to make it big themselves. But as a society I think we often get so caught up in the perks of being famous that we forget about some of the cons; the cons that we as fans who want to know all about these people contribute to. There’s lack of privacy, gossip, and lots and lots of crazy people following your every move, which you probably think would be one of the perks. And I’m sure for a lot of celebrities that is one of the perks. But some fans, well, they can get a little bit crazy, and that’s when things can get just a little bit scary, especially for these celebrities right here.

Not the craziest fan in the

Alright CollegeCandies, which celebs do you think have the craziest fans? Or are you a crazy fan yourself? Leave a comment and let us know. We won’t tell. Promise. 

WTF? So you can sleep with Edward??

When I was waiting outside of the Scholastic store in Soho to buy the 7^th Harry Potter book, I saw a reporter from the New York Post who was walking up and down the massive line and interviewing people for a story about the book’s release. I overheard him speaking with one guy who had a lightning bolt scar on his head.

I know what you’re thinking—“All right, it’s kind of odd that an adult man would dress up for the release of a kid’s book, but it’s not totally unheard of. That dude probably wasn’t any weirder than any of the other people in the line.”

Wrong. This nutbar didn’t just draw a lightning bolt on his forehead—as he told the reporter, he had literally carved the scar into his skin with a razor blade.

And to make matters worse, I was ahead of him in line. Yes, I had arrived at the bookstore before the psycho.

So needless to say, I know a thing or two about what happens when fandom gets extreme. Even so, Twihards—people who are obsessed with the Twilight books and movies—take things a step beyond anything I’ve ever seen before. As of Wednesday, at least 2,100 screenings of New Moon, the second movie in the series, were sold out—and those are only the showings measured by MovieTickets.com. There’s also a ton of Twilight merchandise available all over the web, stuff that ranges from normal (t-shirts, posters) to full-on batsh*t crazy (A shower curtain screen-printed with a giant picture of Robert Pattinson’s face. A life size vinyl wall decal of Edward Cullen’s silhouette, accented by the words “Be Safe.” A pair of underwear that’s illustrated with the sexy vamp’s face—inside the crotch). Read More »
