Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer at the White House
May 11, 2012
True Blood’s Faery and GQ’s Stylish Man of the Week:
Anna Paquin and husband Stephen Moyer (Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton on True Blood) attended the White House Correspondents Dinner once again this year. Once again, they did not fail to impress. Paquin, newly pregnant, was stunning in a black deep-V silk jersey dress by French designer Hervé L. Leroux (formerly known as Hervé Léger).
Moyer was as dapper as always in a black tux. So dapper, in fact, that he was named British GQ’s second “Most Stylish Man of the Week” — second only to the President of the United States! Well done, Stephen!
We’ll be seeing the couple soon on True Blood Season 5, and we can’t wait!

True Blood’s Lead Actors Moyer and Paquin Expecting Their First Child Together:
Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, the real-life couple who play Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton on our fave show, True Blood, announced through their reps today that they are expecting their first child together. Paquin, 29, and Moyer, 42, met on the True Blood set in 2007 and got married in 2010.
While this may be old hat for Moyer, who already has two children, it should no doubt be exhilarating for Paquin. The baby is due this Fall.
Congratulations to the happy couple! We wish them all the best!

Video: HBO Teases Fans With Another True Blood Season 5 Clip
April 16, 2012
Waiting Still Sucks but a New Teaser Makes it a Little More Fun:
As fans eagerly await the June 10th premiere of HBO’s True Blood Season 5, another teaser clip has been released. This video, the fifth released so far, is 37 seconds long and features Alcide (Joe Manganiello) and Sookie (Anna Paquin).
The clip is a scene from an upcoming Season 5 episode of True Blood. It is set in Sookie’s kitchen and is a conversation between Alcide and Sookie. When questioned, Alcide says he’s come to warn Sookie that Russell Edgington is on the loose. Sookie is confused since she believes that Russell is dead. The video ends as Alcide says, “You mean they didn’t tell you?”
We can’t wait for Season 5! How about you?
The clip can be viewed at HBO and YouTube.

Joe Manganiello Dishes on “Magic Mike” and the “Season of the Werewolf”
March 2, 2012
A Werewolf Stripper?
As fans eagerly await the return of True Blood’s Season 5 this summer, Joe Manganiello seems to be the most prolific celebrity spoiler for the show. It has been noted that if we were to call season four the season of the witch, season five will be the season of the werewolf. That means a whole host of hot new werewolf cast members. Manganiello told Access Hollywood correspondent Tim Vincent (at GQ’s Men of the Year Party in LA) that he’s looking forward to the season. Last season, Alcide “helped end the reign – and life – of packmaster Marcus… and actress Dale Dickey recently joined the cast as Marcus’ – presumably grieving – mom.”
Manganiello said:
“I can’t wait to work with her (Dale Dickey) and I think there’s gonna be some werewolves who are gonna give Alcide some trouble this season, as well. I’m anxious to see who they’ll cast.”
The actor has revealed that he’s on par with the fans in wanting to see his character bump nasties with Paquin’s. “Alcide likes Sookie a whole heck of a lot. She’s single, Alcide’s single… I totally want to see them hook up.” Apparently, Manganiello’s mother is a big Paquin fan as well, and wants to see her son’s character “find love with Bon Temps’ fairy-waitress.”
He also raved about the disastrous return of Russell Edgington. “I love Denis O’Hare,” he said. “Him coming back – it’s not good for Alcide, but it’s definitely good for the show.”
Finally, in a separate interview with Access Hollywood, Manganiello spoke about his role in the new, star-studded, male-stripper movie “Magic Mike” in which he plays Big Dick Richie (Gasp! Drool.) While the movie was “loosely inspired by Channing Tatum’s own past,” the actors were treated to lessons from the likes of Britney Spears’ choreography team. “Body rolls, some hip stuff,” Manganiello mentioned. His costars include Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer, Adam Rodriguez, and Alex Pettyfer.
I personally am waiting with bated breath for the release of this film (in post-production) along with the return of True Blood, of course. Who’s with me? Leave your thoughts in the comments section, and check out the two full interviews that I have listed as sources if you need anything juicier.

True Blood’s Anna Paquin Stars in New Indie Film
November 7, 2011
Paquin Will Play a Pot-dealing, Single Mom in Free Ride:
Free Ride is about Christina — played by Anna Paquin – an uneducated, single mom who leaves an abusive relationship and moves to Florida “to make a life for herself.” To support her 15 and 7 year old daughters, Christina starts selling marijuana. The writer and director, Shana Sosin, says the film is “my homage to the end of innocence in America as well as a love letter to my sister and mother” because the film is based on her own childhood.
The film will be Sosin’s first film featuring major stars. Along with Paquin, Cam Gigandet (Easy A, Priest, Burlesque and –most notably– the villainous vampire from Twilight) will play Paquin’s love interest. Drea de Matteo (famous for her role as Adriana la Cerva in HBO’s Sopranos) will play the character that gets Paquin to sell marijuana in the “colorful yet turbulent culture of the late 1970s.” She chose Paquin because, “there’s something very raw and real about Anna’s performances and person; she’s retained that rawness my mother had.”
Speaking of raw and real, the film is being shot in Sarasota, Florida and will use locals in smaller roles. Sosin is looking for “rough around the edges with long hair and very tan” types. ”The kinds of guys who would work on fishing boats and bikers with handlebar mustaches.” Mark Famiglio, executive director of Sarasota Film Festival who will be providing the crew facilities, proclaims “Shana and her crew are exactly the kind of talented, creative people we want to work in this area. They represent the new wave of independent filmmaking and exceptional storytelling.”
Truebies: shooting starts in November, so remember to keep your eyes out for the release of Free Ride and support Anna, et al, when it debuts!
