January 11, 2013 Lorissa Marr Leave a comment

Lafayette lends his voice for a song!

Nelsan Ellis who stars as Lafayette Reynolds in HBO's True Blood Hey Trubies, Nelsan Ellis (who plays Lafayette Reynolds) has a different talent: he lends his voice to rapper Malachi’s new single “New World (Part II: The Schizo Speaks).” Wetpaint.com posted an article about the True Blood star’s new venture. In the song you can hear Nelsan around the 2 minute mark with the following lyrics:

“I am the beat that never sleeps; I am the heart that gets skipped over by dirty feet on hot concrete,”

Nelsan says in the beginning of his monologue:

“My cardboard box tells a story.”

I listened to the song and really like it. You can listen to the song here on Malachi’s SoundCloud or you can listen to it by going to the article on Wetpaint.com and to do that you can click on the source below. What do you think of the song trubies let us know by leaving a comment on the comment section below?

Jessica talks breakups and growing up.

Hey Trubies in Jessica Hamby first Vblog she discusses Season 5 of HBO’s True Blood, but in particular, her break up with Hoyt Fortenberry. She talks about no longer being a baby vamp or an old married vamp but a teenage vamp! There is also news about her break up feelings:

“She is going to compartmentalize her breakup blues. She is going to pretend her breakup blues are locked away in a box and she is going to throw away the key, she said that’s the only way to cope with bad situations. She also said that feeling are like air they are here one minute and poof gone the next.”

She also introduced us to a frat guy from the party she is throwing named bobby from UNL. you can watch the video below or click on the source.

I, for one, think she needs to stay with Hoyt. What do you think of her new vblog you can comment in the comment section below?

True Blood to be Reduced to 10 Episodes for Season 6!

September 17, 2012 Lorissa Marr 13 Comments

Trubies, What Do You Think of HBO’s Decision?

Hey Trubies; I for one am not happy, with True Blood only being 10 episodes for next season. Wetpaint.com has posted an article about True Blood being reduced next season. Wetpaint references a TVguide article that you can read here. In the article Alan Ball says:

“[We are] moving production to January to accommodate [Anna’s pregnancy],” but there will also “only be 10 shows next season, partly because of Anna and partly because of the economics.”

About the show in Season 6, he also states:

“There will also be some other characters maybe who we know and love who are pursuing a less than generous agenda,” Alan spilled, also noting that Jason “might be” a danger to all of Bon Temps’ vampires!”

He also had news about Sookie and Alcide possibly rekindling their very brief romance in the next season.

What do you think about Season 6 being only 10 episodes long trubies? Let us know what you think by commenting in comment section below.

Joe Manganiello Professes to Be Shirtless Poster Boy!

Hey Trubies! I know if you like Joe Manganiello (who plays Alcide Herveaux on True Blood) as much as I do then you will love this video interview. PopSugar editor Lindsay Miller spoke with him on the red carpet for the Stuart House Benefit thrown by John Varvatos. Dishing on all the bare chests and his co-stars in his upcoming film, Magic Mike, he shares:

“I have had a lot of practice; in fact I think I’m the poster boy for it I would think at this point… They were all fine, I’m sure McConaughey certainly has had his share. Kevin Nash from the WWE, I mean that guy has spent the past 20 years running around in a Speedo in front of the cameras, so I think they were all right, everybody did all right… Channing Tatum is really down to earth, really funny, really cool, just a great guy. I love Channing and look forward to working with him again.”

Magic Mike is scheduled to hit theaters on June 29. Trubies, let us know what you think of the interview and if you plan on seeing the movie. You can let us know by commenting in the comment section below.

March 21, 2012 Lorissa Marr Leave a comment

Congratulations to Courtney on Her First Child!

True Blood’s Courtney Ford (Portia Bellefleur) announced on her Twitter page that she is expecting her first child; it was then confirmed by her husband Brandon Routh on his Twitter Page. The news was first announced on eonline.com. In the article it was revealed Brandon Routh announced they were expecting.

Courtney and Brandon said:

“It’s been so hard keeping the news to ourselves,” Routh admitted to People. Added Ford, of her growing belly: “It started getting difficult to hide what was happening. Flu and food poisoning excuses only work for so long, and by the last episode I could no longer button my pants! I just tried to joke that I had a big lunch.”

Ford met Routh in 2003 when he was a bartender in Hollywood, years before he played Superman. The couple married in November 2007.

True Blood Nominated for 2012 People’s Choice Awards!

January 10, 2012 Lorissa Marr 1 Comment

Favorite Sci-fi/Fantasy and Drama:

Truebies, the 38th annual People’s Choice Awards are here, and True Blood is nominated! The two categories are Favorite Sci-fi/Fantasy Show and Favorite Cable TV Drama. The show will air January 11 on CBS at 9 p.m. /8 p.m. CT. You can see the entire list of nominees on the People’s Choice Awards website. True Blood should of course win, and according to lifegoesstrong.com, here’s why:

Favorite Cable TV Drama
The nominees are: Dexter, Game Of Thrones, Pretty Little Liars, True Blood, White Collar
The process of elimination is: Pretty Little Liars will capture the teen text-ers. White Collar is the sophisticated grown-up show. Dexter is the darkest of the batch, while Game of Thrones is something that all the quiet people who keep to themselves in the office loved (but they’re busy rewatching all the Lord of the Rings movies so they don’t have time to vote.)
Which means the winner should be: True Blood. This last season wasn’t its best but first, vampires seem to be everywhere these days and second, they can read your thoughts and if you aren’t voting for them, they’ll just compel you to anyway.

I agree, I think True Blood should win both categories. I voted for True Blood in both categories, what about you? Did you vote for True Blood to win people’s choice? Are you planning on watching the awards? What do you think of the list of nominees? Let us know by commenting in the comment section below.

A Little Birdie Told Me: Kristin Bauer Started a Petition

October 26, 2011 Lorissa Marr 1 Comment

A Petition to Protect All Chimpanzees:

Truebies, Kristin Bauer van Straten (Pam de Beaufort) has a new cause. She has started a petition to save the chimpanzee. The petition on change.org. is to get the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to protect all chimps. Chimps have been recognized as an endangered species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service since 1990, but only wild chimps are protected. She wants the chimps in captivity saved under the same Endangered Species Act (ESA). She explains:

“I’ve been working with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine to speak out against chimpanzee experiments in the United States. We now have an opportunity to protect all chimpanzees in captivity in the U.S.”

In order to make a difference, the petition needs 5,000 signatures. There are currently less than 4,000. Signing up on change.org is quick and painless. You can get more information and sign the petition via the source link below. Let us know if you’ll be signing it and supporting this important cause by leaving a comment.

October 22, 2011 Lorissa Marr Leave a comment

Could Bad Vamp Lorena Krasiki Do Something Good?

True Blood actress Mariana Klaveno (Lorena Krasiki) will attend the Inaugural Clean the World Gala to be held Saturday, November 5, at The Peabody in Orlando, Florida. Other attendees include Stan Van Gundy (Orlando Magic head coach) and Thomas McClary (one of the original founders of The Commodores). Hosting the event will be Tom Sorrells (chief meteorologist at WKMG-Local 6 CBS Orlando).

Klaveno is both a supporter and celebrity spokesperson for the non-profit organization, whose aim is to provide the impoverished (both domestic and abroad) with the most basic cleaning tool — soap. Shawn Seipler, co-founder and CEO of Clean the World says:

“We’re enthusiastic about the support for our first Gala event, and are really excited to make this happen as part of our global hygiene revolution, this is our opportunity to thank our loyal partners and friends and show them what their support has been able to accomplish for so many children and families around the world. It’s a chance to have fun, raise money, and extend business contacts to help our partners grow together to help Clean the World.”

A Little Birdie Told Me: True Blood Cast Members Attend Spooky Empire!

October 15, 2011 Lorissa Marr Leave a comment

Sam Trammell, Kristin Bauer, and Mariana Klaveno Attend Florida Convention:

Truebies, I had the pleasure of attending Spooky Empire on October 7-9, 2011 at the Wyndham Orlando Resort. At the convention there were many actors, authors, and people in the music business. The weekend consisted of Q&As, Photo Ops, autograph sessions, parties where you could mingle with the stars, movies, seminars, and a zombie walk. Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte), Kristin Bauer (Pam de Beaufort), and Mariana Klaveno (Lorena Krasiki) were among the attendees. I spoke with them while getting their autographs, they were very nice and personable. I had met Sam and Kristin at a previous convention. I asked Sam how his new babies were, and he said:

“They are doing great, they are 8 weeks now.”

Mariana was very sweet, I told her she was great on the show. Kristin is nothing like Pam on the show she is really sweet and nice, she was that way both times we met. If you want to get more information about Spooky Empire please visit the website here.
