Twilight'-themed signs popping up to encourage road safety

Add this one to the who'da-thunk-it pile. According to The Portland Mercury's Blogtown, Oregon road safety signs have now adopted a Twilight theme to encourage drivers and passengers to buckle up.
The one captured in this photo from the site states "You are not immortal. Buckle up" with lettering, imagery, and coloring resemblant of the Saga.
Now, it's not surprising at all to have heard that Wuthering Heights, Romeo and Juliet, and other works of literature got a Twilight-themed cover to correlate with their references in the series, or that this weekend's Stephenie Meyer Day celebration in Forks, Washington kicked off with some Twilight postage stamps, or even that some of this year's Fashion Week designer showcases were inspired by 
According to Blogtown, "Apparently these have been around SE Portland since the spring."
Portland was the filming location for 2008's Twilight, so it serves as an iconic location for the Twilight Saga - particularly since it's in the Olympic Peninsula which is the rainy setting for most of the Saga.

Lucy Hale, Tyler Posey almost in Twilight

Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale told J-14 that she is such a big Twilight fan that when the movies were being cast, she auditioned for both Alice and Jane.  Here is what Lucy said about the process.

“I auditioned for [the role of] Alice,” Lucy says. “I read the books and I wanted to be part of the first movie so bad.”
The role ultimately went to Ashley Greene, but Lucy didn’t give up on her vampire dreams. “I heard about this new role, Jane, who was going to be a part of the second one, and I went for that,” she says. But, alas, Dakota Fanning was chosen to play Jane instead. …
“I love everyone they’ve cast,” she says. “I’m such a believer in everything happens for a reason and it’s all about timing. I like where I’m at right now!”

Actor Tyler Posey also mentioned to Teen Vogue that he was up for the role of Jacob Black and that it was down to him and Taylor Lautner.

“It was between me and Taylor Lautner for the role of Jacob Black. I haven’t seen it yet, but I don’t have anything against it.

Kristen Stewart: I Haven’t Changed Much Since Kindergarten

People.comis reporting on a new interview that Kristen Stewart did with the telegraph where she talked about growing up and her fierce dedication to staying true to who she is.

“I didn’t walk around talking about doing movies,” says the Twilight star, 20, “but then someone saw an old movie I was in, [2001's] The Safety of Objects, and realized that the little boy in it [she played a tomboy] had grown up into this girl – me. And then I got a lot of, ‘She’s such a bitch!’ And yet most of these kids had never even spoken to me.”
Stewart says she was glad to leave school. She was missing a lot of classes and getting failing grades, and her interactions with her peers didn’t improve.
“I couldn’t relate to kids my own age,” she says. “I have felt that I should have been an adult since I was aged about 5. I remember when I turned 18, everyone asked me if I felt more mature, but I felt the same as I always did. Juggling work and school, and helping my mother; I’ve always had a lot of responsibility.”
