Stefan’s Diaries 5: The Asylum is a Juicy Read
Jan 24th
Because we all love a juicy read, especially when it involves someone’s personal secrets…
Based on The Vampire Diaries novels by L.J. Smith and the hit CW TV show, Stefan’s Diaries: The Asylum takes you to London in the fall of 1888, where Stefan and Damon are at odds with a wealthy and cunning vampire named Samuel. Check out a sneak peek from one of Stefan’s entries in the book below:
Before someone dies, their blood races, pounding through their veins, filled with everything that makes them human—adrenaline, fear, the desire to live. It’s a sound like no other, a sound I used to listen for eagerly, in anticipation of the kill. But the pounding that echoed in my ears now wasn’t caused by a human heart. It lacked that frantic sensation that made blood so irresistible. It was mine . . . and my brother’s.
We had both been at the very edge of death, again, and were now fleeing back to London.
The London I’d seen was a city of deceit and destruction, where innocent lives were lost, and blood ran through the streets like water. And now, Damon and I were headed there to stop it. I only hoped the price wouldn’t be too high.
Mere hours earlier, I had been attacked and left for dead by Samuel, a truly cunning and vindictive vampire. Damon had saved me. It had seemed like a miracle when my brother burst into cottage and dragged me to safety just before the entire structure burst into flames.
But I stopped believing in miracles a long time ago. What it had been was luck. And now I needed luck on my side more than ever. Relying on instinct wasn’t enough. My instincts had failed me countless times, always leading to someone’s death. And if they failed me again, I knew that the ensuing death would be my own. All I could do was throw myself into the battle against evil and hope that my luck hadn’t run out.

Kristen Stewart’s Sweet Smell of Success
Jan 13th
Attention Twi-hards: I hear that Kristen Stewart has inked a deal to be the new face of Balenciaga perfume. The scent has yet to be named and will launch this fall, so let’s dream up a moniker for this fine fragrance in the meantime.
Remember, it has to reflect K.Stew’s style and persona…so what would you call the mix of Converse, a sour expression and Robert Pattinson’s aftershave? You know you love me…

If there’s one thing that Gossip Girl loves more than anything in the world, it’s making witty and provocative observations about the rich and famous.
And in Gossip Girl Psycho Killer, the queen of snark lashes out her sharpest venom when discussing her favorite victims subjects…Sabrina and Blair! Read what Miss GG had to say about Manhattan’s “It” girls:
“Looks like S didn’t come home to lie low. Tonight she’s ringing in the fall season with a ______ – ______ -______ soiree at her house, complete with tiki torches, and there is no guest list, so you can bring your little brother and his nose-picking friends and get them drunk for the first time, and her maid will clean afterwards. Or, you can go to B’s house because now that S is having a shindig, she’s throwing a bigger and better one with a DJ, full bar, and catering. Not that we mind. These are the sort of choices we live for. Until one of us dies, which is inevitable.” – p 96, Gossip Girl Psycho Killer by Cecily von Ziegesar
So, now it’s your turn to fill in the blank! Using your Gossip Girl savvy, what kind of socialite event do you think Serena would organize that could actually top Blair’s?
Leave your Most Amusing guesses in the comments, and check the Gossip Girl lounge for the

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough?
Mar 12th
Red carpet gaffes, public breakups, failed film releases . . . The climb to celebrity is nothing if not torturous. Which may be why Jessica Biel has been favoring a different kind of climb recently. She just scaled Mount Kilimanjaro, and is contemplating Everest next. Good luck, Jess, but remember: in Hollywood and on the mountaintop, the higher the climb, the farther the fall . . .
