"BellaSwan" news and stories

Here's something vampire fans didn't have to wait an eternity for -- a "Twilight"-themed restaurant is slated to open in Forks, Wash., the real setting for the fictional teen vampire romance novels.

Annette and Tim Root plan to open the "Twilight" restaurant next year, the Peninsula Daily News reports. The family restaurant, tentatively named Volterra after the Italian city where all the powerful vampires live in Stephenie Meyer's series, will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. No word on whether blood will be on the menu.

What do you think? Dumb idea or good marketing strategy?

A Valentine's Day candy staple is getting some bite.

The New England Confectionery Co., NECCO, plans to expand its 143-year-old Sweethearts Conversation Hearts line next month with treats inspired by the Stephenie Meyer vampire series "Twilight."

The candymaker will sell tiny hearts in early March with sayings like "I ♥ EC," "Lion and Lamb," "Bite Me," "Dazzle" and "Live 4 Ever," a NECCO official told AOL Food on Friday. The new hearts are tied to the March 21 "Twilight" DVD release and part of a larger Sweethearts overhaul.
