The Big Apple was overflowing with deliciousness last night. First there was Robert Pattinson at the “Remember Me” premiere, and not even one mile away at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, Rob’s “Twilight” costar Kellan Lutz and a few other choice bloodsuckers showed off their pearly whites at Cosmopolitan magazine’s 2010 Fun Fearless Males party.

We’re absolutely loving the photo op above because when else will we ever catch three stars from three different hit vampire franchises — Kellan, “True Blood” actor Stephen Moyer and “Vampire Diaries” heartthrob Paul Wesley — chumming it up together?

If you’ve been jonesing for an epic fantasy to help fill the gap between Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” movies and the maybe-someday remake of “Dune,” HBO may have just rolled the saving throw you needed.

On Tuesday, the cable channel announced that it had officially ordered “Game of Thrones,” a new series based on George R. R. Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novels. The best-selling book franchise, which began in 1996 with “A Game of Thrones,” chronicles the dynastic conflicts among several families on the mythical continent of Westeros.

The principal cast of the HBO series, which will run 10 episodes, features no less than 17 cast members, including Mark Addy, Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, Jennifer Ehle, Iain Glen and Lena Headey, as well as Tamzin Merchant (of “Pride and Prejudice”) as the heroine Daenerys Targaryen.

I have to say, that’s a pretty cool cast for ‘Game of Thrones’, although I’ve never read George RR Martin’s novels. What do you think of today’s tv news?
