VAMPIRE BUFF Bilawal
With the naming of 19-year-old Bilawal Bhutto as co-head of his late mother Benazir Bhutto's political party in Pakistan, we may be looking at the first world leader to have a Facebook page before entering politics.

Unfortunately, Bilawal's FB profile (larger image after the jump) doesn't provide the drunken wall messages and beer-pong pics we crave, but it does offer some insight into the man who just might become the first ever world leader with a Buffy obsession. Not only does he list the vampire slaying classic as one of his favorite TV shows, but in a recent note thanking friends for their support, he writes, "I do the things that students do like make mistakes, eat junk food, watch Buffy, but most importantly of all ... learn."

Though Buffy seems to be his fave, it's likely Bilawal's West Wing fandom that will benefit him most. And while we all hope he'll emerge a peaceful, benevolent leader, an appreciation for the films of Quentin Tarantino doesn't bode well for Paki pacifists.

While it's hard to see a silver lining in the death of a young man's mother, one positive note has arisen from Benazir's Bhutto's death: Bilawal's friend pool has increased by at least 400 percent since her untimely death.
