Charlaine Harris, the author of the Sookie Stakehouse Series originally wrote conventional mysteries and had decided that it would be fun to write something completely different, a little bit fun and a little bit spicy. She wanted to write from the point of view from the girl who was trying to date a vampire and the tribulations that would come from that relationship. Charlaine talks about how there were many offers for her series and it was Alan Ball who she trusted, and... [Read the full story]

Auction! Attention! Due to the Emmy's the auction start date has been delayed to the night of August 30th! Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam on True Blood, is not only a talented actress, but also a wonderful artist. She recently did a matted pencil drawing of Alexander Skarsgard, Eric Northman that will be up for auction for the benefit of the Amanda Foundation.

There's just something about Joe Manganiello that sells that alpha wolf image. It's not just that he's one tall, sexy, muscular hunk of man that leaves True Blood viewers panting for more Alcide Herveaux week after week. It's the way he moves, the tilt of his head, the surety of his gaze that just screams out, "You're safe with me, but not too safe!" He's also got a bit of that tail thumping, fun loving, puppy charm which made this one great interview to do. The Interview TBN: Hi Joe, thanks so much for joining us today! Joe: Hi, good to be able ...
Marcia deRousse who plays the acerbic Dr. Ludwig on True Blood (but is a total sweetheart and a very gentle soul in real life) has kindly agreed to occasionally give us a 'behind the scenes' peek as life as a actor in Hollywood. If you have questions about specifics of the lifestyle or just living in LA just put them in the comments and I'm sure Marcia would be happy to address them. I know many of you feel that the life of an actor is all glitz and glamor, parties and paparazzi. That may be true to a point for ...
Before the season started TrueBloodNet.com had the great pleasure of interviewing Denis O'Hare. He was just oodles of fun to talk to and was very patient with all our foolish human questions! It was a most delicate interview as we didn't want to be spoiled but really wanted to know all about the King of Mississippi! Plus, as it turns out Denis grew up around here and, like many, was glad to be from Michigan. TBN: You were born in Missouri but you were raised in Southfield, Michigan. As it happens that’s where I’m calling you from now. Denis: Where are you ...
[caption id="attachment_14943" align="aligncenter" width="525" caption="Lindsey Pulsipher True Blood Crystal Norris"][/caption] One of the first recurring roles that Lindsay Pulsipher played was as Heather on the show, "Touched by an Angel" and now she's playing Crystal, a character that's been touched by anything and everything but an Angel. We're fascinated by the unlikely concept of someone able to tame Jason Stackhouse, but with Lindsay lending her wistful, angelic face to the role of Crystal Norris , she may just manage to capture Jason's heart. She sure caught and held our attention! Lindsay was great to talk to, very fun and energetic and ...
Continuing our deliciously long conversation with "Pam" from True Blood, Kristin Bauer, in this half of the two part article. If you missed part 1 click here. And don't forget to support the end of whale slaughter in our lifetime! There's a link at the bottom of the article to CD's that Kristin and Abri will be selling to help support the anti-whaling efforts! TBN: Do you have any other charities that you support? KB: There’s so many great ones but I often work with the Amanda Foundation and IFAW. I have a personal relationship with these people. I would like to ...
Recently, Kristin Bauer (Otherwise known as Mrs. Van Straten-isn't Abri adorable?) True Blood's "Pam", took time out of her busy schedule to talk to TrueBloodNet.com.

Be sure to catch the information at the bottom of this first half of the interview regarding the imminent IWC attempt to remove the moratorium on whaling. Pam, Kristin and Ollie and myself would urge you to get involved in stopping the ...
We here at TrueBloodNet.com had the privilege of interviewing the multi-talented Ashley Jones who not only charmed us with her wit but her down-to-earth personality. When she was not busy portraying Daphne on Alan Ball's hit HBO TV vampire series True Blood at night she was Bridget Forrester during the days on The Bold and Beautiful. It was just one of the example of Ashley's dedication to her work and at the same time her ability to have fun with whatever come along her way. Ashley is definitely and truly an inspiring woman and one to watch as her star ...
What follows is Sam's great Q & A session from Eyecon. Unfortunately I was so busy clapping and taking pics that I didn't get the recorder turned on until he'd already started but we have most of it transcribed thanks to Cyrenna's hard work! From Eyecon '09: Q: The scene with you and Arlene’s kids, it’s one of my favorite scenes. What were the kids like to work with? I love those kids I think they’re real talented. Sam: They’re really cool, those kids are really cool. And you know what’s funny? At the scene at the bar when I’m ...
True Blood is a very complex show where good and evil are often mingled and mirrored and flipped on their heads. People who start out being heroes end up having hearts of darkness like Rene and Maryanne and some, like Sam and Andy, start out looking like heroes and get lost along the way but come through in the end. And then there's Jason, for whom we have few expectations but who rose to the occasion and did the right thing... only to fall from grace again when he killed Eggs. The vampires, on the other hand, have many nuanced ...
Talented spin-meister Gary Calamar, HBO's True Blood Music Supervisor sat down with TrueBloodNet.com to talk about music, his work and the creative process involved in developing the musical pieces for True Blood.

What was it that drew you into the music world? Gary: You know, music is just a beautiful thing. I just remember hearing it. My family was listening to music, my brother was interested in music. It seems like ...

What's up with Luke? Suicide bomber? I must admit I did not see that coming! I thought he was too self involved.... but he turned out to be a true believer, unfortunately being manipulated by the egocentric, charismatic, vampire hating, Rev. Steve. What a shame to destroy Godric's beautiful home! An explosion like this necessitates the set to be built on stage and what a great look the art department and construction achieved. As for the set decoration, every piece of furniture, accessory, art, lighting, and rugs, needed to be purchased! I really hurts! to know that an interior so ...

Recently TrueBloodNet.com got the opportunity to interview the beautiful and talented actress who plays Tara in Alan Ball's True Blood, Rutina Wesley. She talks a little about her past, where she is right now and what she'd like to do in the future. TBN.com: What was it like growing up in Vegas? Rutina: Growing up in Vegas was awesome. A lot of people give Vegas a bad name because of the strip and the gambling and stuff but I always say "Hey, I turned out ok." (laughing) It's a good town and I got a good education there.

Marcia deRousse who played tough-as-nails, no nonsense, Dr. Ludwig in the third episode of Alan Ball's hit series True Blood, "Scratches", wrote us to say: "To say this has been one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life would be a major understatement! To be even a tiny part of Alan Ball's ensemble, even if it is only for this one time, was every actor's dream come true.
