Twilight Takes Over Religion - Edward is the New Xenu

Attention Twi-Hards: there is a fine line between cute obsession and complete and total lunacy, and some of us have crossed that line.

According to sources, a group of “Twilight” fans have started their own religion based on Stephenie Meyer’s vampire-love book series. Xenu beware!

The followers of this ‘religion’ refer to themselves as “Cullenists” and, like any religion, they have their own set of beliefs and rules that should be followed. These rules are based on the belief that the Cullens (the surname of the vampire family in the books) are in fact, real.

Via Examiner.com:

“Their creed includes a base set of beliefs that Edward and the rest of the ‘Twilight’ characters are real; that the ‘Twilight’ series should be worshipped and that if you are good in life, you will be bless[ed] with eternity with the Cullens.”

Question: are we really interested in eternity with the Cullens or with Robert Pattinson? Spending eternity with Edward Cullen sounds nice, but if we have to throw in Rosalie, I am out.

Cullenists also believe that the “Twilight” series should be read daily like a Bible and followers should make a pilgrimage to the small town of Forks, Washington during their lifetime. I am sure the good people of Forks are rejoicing.

All of us here at Hollywood Dame love “Twilight.” Not to mention, we would all like to go a few rounds with Robert Pattinson and the rest of the male cast members of the movie for that matter. However, this is too much. People are crossing the line here. Enjoy the books and the movie; spin your own fantasies involving Sparklepants and Peter Facinelli. Mine involves a lot of wine and a large bathtub. But leave it at that.

Now, if you’ll excuse me I have a plane to catch. I am spending spring break in Washington and Vancouver to, um, see the sights. Yes! That’s it, sight-seeing.

Okay, that is going a little to far, but then again, if you want to believe in something, I guess Sparklepants is just as good as aything else.

Now as for you Dame Crista, I'm sure that the fact they are filming New Moon had nothing to do with your choice of vacation spots this year - right?

There is going to far and then there is going TOO FAR. Insanity!!! I think these fans need a 12-step program. And I am a self confessed Twihard!! Oy!

Ok, there is going too far and then there is going TOO FAR!!!! And this is the latter. It's ok to enjoy a book or movie and but this is simply ridiculous. People need to invest in their personal lives before letting an obsession get this far. And I am a self-professed Twi-Hard!

I cannot stand Twilight fans in most cases. They are usually idiotic 14-year-old girls who don’t even know what the word “fiction” means. It sickens me.
