Just another boy from Southern California…

Now that Laguna Beach’s Alex M. has resurfaced with news about the release of her upcoming album, it only makes sense that her co-star Talan Torriero wouldn’t be too far behind…and wouldn’t you know it, he’s not. Talan has announced on his web site, www.talantorriero.net, that he’ll be appearing at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors convention, taking place from June 2 through June 4 at the ever-so-hip Burbank Airport Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

And why, you might ask, will Talan be there? A good question, unless you, like me, consider just the thought of Talan pretty terrifying. But alas, that’s not the (only) reason Talan will be taking part in this career-making venture – he’ll actually he there to support his upcoming film Driftwood. And, in case you’ve forgotten, Talan’s myspace page offers a thorough description of the film, an indie feature about "an attitude-adjustment correctional facility for teens that's haunted by the ghost of a kid murdered there." Talan inexplicably plays a security guard. Right.

In more believable news, Talan has also announced, via myspace, that this fall, he’ll be working on a new television show tentatively called All the Right Moves. He’ll serve as the host of this "music dating show" where "we take nerds and help them win dates." No word on whether Talan himself will be taking advantage of this service.
