[info]sea6: Robert Pattinson Is (Gulp) Distantly Related to Dracula

-People, why did you nix the publication of Teen People again?  More importantly, why did I subscribe to your newsletter?  Perhaps for random gems like this:

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20396558,00.html

"Not to sound batty, but it appears vampire blood may really run through Robert Pattinson's veins."

I am sorry guys but you are coming of as pretty dang batty there.  lion_lamb is already on the case as well: http://community.livejournal.com/lion_lamb/7348543.html

Poor RPattz. He's going to become a hermit after this.

I imagine that Vlad is one of those people who spread his seed far and wide, so there's probably loads of people related to him.

Still, LOLZ Prince William and Prince Harry are related to him as well, which means that pretty much ALL European royalty is!

It's like how statistically every person of Western European descent is related to Charlemagne. Perspective, people!

Seriously. The same can be said about Genghis Khan.

Doesn't the article also say that Stephenie Meyer is, too?

Someone on my LJ referred back to this picture and said, "So his name isn't Twilight, but he IS a Dracula?"

Yes, yes it does. And apparently linking them to Vlad was ~~difficult~~ work for Ancestry.com. They were chagrined even!

I'm shocked. Oh, wait. No. I already knew all royalty was pretty much multi-related.

Okay then.

Random: Teen People was my favorite magazine from seventh through ninth grade.

And Jim Halpert's! So maybe they're related too!

Rob should hook up with a relative of Elizabeth Báthory. That would be lolarious.

OT, but did you know that they just put out a movie about her? I was interested until I found out it was another "Historical woman just needs a MAAAAAN." story.

I hadn't heard of that!

Is it the one starring Julie Delpy?

That's the one! Hilariously, when I searched the title ("The Countess") on IMDB, one of the results was none other than the (in)famous Justine Baker.

He has also been challenged to "a field of battle" by a *cough* real vampire.
