First Boone became a vampire. Now it's Shannon's turn.

Maggie Grace has been cast in the role of Irina in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn," the final chapter in the Bella Swan saga, Entertainment Weekly reports. Irina is a "vegetarian" vampire -- meaning she doesn't feast on human blood -- who is a cousin of the Cullens and happens to be a bit bitter over the death of her lover. Like Edward, her skin sparkles in the sun in a way that puts basic body glitter to shame.

For those keeping score, this is the second former "Lost" cast member to be cast in a film with Robert Pattinson. Emilie de Ravin, who played Squirrel Baby Mama Claire Littleton on the show, was a pioneer in this field, having appeared opposite Pattinson in "Remember Me."
