Top 5 Most Random 'Twilight' Stories of the Week

Photobucket
There've been quite a few bizarre or random Twilight stories over the past week or so . . . and Twilight stars reading adult fanfiction for the cameras isn't even the tip of the iceberg. So, here are the top five.
5. Jon Hamm thinks he looks old enough to be a Twilight grandpa?
Talking to the BBC about his hit series Mad Men and his career outside of it, Jon Hamm said, "I'm 40, which is ridiculously old in Hollywood. I mean, come on I'm not in Twilight. I could play their grandfather or something." Oh, but if he was, right? Can you imagine Jon Hamm in the Twilight series? The fact that he said the word Twilight at all gives me goosebumps!
4. Twilight hair product line?
Apparently, there's going to be a hair product line based on the Twilight series and its cast. Items included are things like "A Styling iron to achieve Bella’s waves" and "A Styler to achieve Alice and Esme’s hair styles." This comes out in October, and apparently the items, by PRO Beauty Tools, were the same ones actually used by the stylists on-set forBreaking Dawn. Make what you will of this. There's already an official Twilight make-up line at TwilightBeauty.com, so a hair product group was really just a matter of time.
3. Conan O'Brien mentions Twilight in his Dartmouth Commencement Speech
It seems so unlikely that Conan O'Brien could fit the topic of Twilight into a commencement speech for Darmouth College, but I suppose if anyone can, it's him. Referring to the fact that he, and not former President George H.W. Bush, was the honored speaker and that he, unlike all of the other graduates who'd been working for years to obtain their degrees, would be receiving an honorary doctorate from the prestigious university, he said: "Darmouth is giving me the same degree for interviewing the fourth lead in Twilight." The video clip is attached. My first thoughts about this were terrible: Who does he consider the fourth lead? Hmm . . . Anyone else think the same thing?


2. Taylor Lautner could be the next big Asian model
Reportedly, Taylor Lautner has just signed on for an advertising campaign in the Philippines for a clothing company called Bench. More on this here. My favorite part of the story is this: "Lo’s source, however, did not say if Lautner, who rose to fame by playing Jacob Black in 'The Twilight Saga', would model its shirts, pants or underwear." So, in other words, Taylor Lautner could start following in Kellan Lutz's footsteps and start modeling underwear? Without a doubt, it would be a popular advertisement.
1. Catherine Hardwicke considers auctioning off the Twilight first kiss bed
This is by the far the most bizarre story of the week. Per Cinema Blend, Catherine Hardwicke - while at the Step Up Women's Network event discussed here - claims to have kept the bed Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart used for his Twilight audition, and "state[d] that if fans showed enough demand for the item, she would put it up for auction in order to benefit the Step Up Women's Network." I'm at a loss for words. So, please share yours in the comments below!
UPDATE: Sources now state that the Taylor Lautner Bench story is untrue. See here.
