FanCast has a great new interview with Joe " Alcide " Manganiello
The countdown is on to ‘True Blood’s season premiere on June 13th. HBO has released a series of provocative minisodes to whet fans appetites. Much of the pre-season buzz is about the character of Alcide, a werewolf who will be spending a lot of time with Sookie (Anna Paquin) as her bodyguard. Joe Manganiello, known for playing Owen on ‘One Tree Hill‘ and Flash Thompson in the first ‘Spiderman‘ movie, landed the pivotal role. Manganiello revealed why Alcide comes into Sookie’s life, how he prepared for his nude scenes and w
hy playing this role is the culmination of a life long dream.
Tell me all about Alcide.
Alcide is a werewolf. He plays the role of Sookie’s bodyguard in season three.
How close is the TV version to the character that is in the books?
He’s pretty close as far as the description goes. He’s brought by Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) to bodyguard Sookie because Bill’s (Stephen Moyer) been kidnapped and Sookie believes that werewolves have some information to his whereabouts. So Alcide is brought in after his father’s death to escort Sookie into the underground society of werewolves.
Are the two of them going to get romantic?
All I can say is that bonding happens. They bond.
Lara Pulver and Michael Steger Join 'True Blood' Season 3
Sookie Stackhouse will have plenty of new faces to keep her company this summer on the upcoming third season of 'True Blood.'
In addition to the slew of recurring players and guest stars that have already been announced, the HBO vamp series has now tapped British actress Lara Pulver and '90210's Michael Steger for key roles.
Pulver, Isabella to fans of BBC's 'Robin Hood,' has singed to play Claudine, Sookie's fairy godmother, according to the Ausiello Files. Word is that Claudine is a major player in two of Charlaine Harris' 'Southern Vampire' books, so fans can probably expect to see Pulver supporting Sookie beyond season three.

True Blood-themed fashion line to launch !
Popular HBO TV show True Blood was the source of inspiration for a recent event held for Australian Fashion Week when Warner Home Video teamed up with fashion label Saint Augustine Academy on the catwalk at the OPT’s Cargo Theatre for Australian Fashion Week.
The vampire-inspired show also promoted the release of Season Two of True Blood on DVD on May 19.
“Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Home Video enjoy significant cross promotional opportunities,” said Roger Clarke, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group MD. “It made sense to have a single agency working across both divisions. We’ve got some really strong titles releasing this year, starting with True Blood Season 2.”
The gothic event saw Designer Alvin Manalo using the True Blood series as inspiration for Saint Augustine Academy’s first individual collection at fashion week with a show called ‘Crystal Ballroom’ featuring a collection of couture of black, white and a splattering of red.
The event, overseen by Sydney based agency One Green Bean is also producing a vampire themed event in Sydney’s King’s Cross tomorrow night (May 12) named after True Blood’s popular vampire nightclub Fangtasia.

ABC vamps it up: Vampire H'wives
Is the Next Big Thing "Desperate Housewives" for vampires?
Promos for a new summer series, "The Gates," started appearing on ABC over the weekend and -- while the short, little ads left much to the imagination -- sharp viewers began to realize the show was a mash-up of Wisteria Lane meets Bella and Edward, the main characters from the "Twilight" saga.
Originally conceived for the 2008 pilot season -- before the "Twilight" movies touched off vamp mania -- "The Gates" is about the Monohan family, who move into a sunny gated community populated by over-friendly neighbors hiding curious secrets.

Ausiello introduces us to the new Claudine, Laura Pulver
True Blood is dispatching a guardian angel to look after Sookie.
British actress Lara Pulver — best known from the BBC drama Robin Hood — has landed the recurring role of Sookie’s fairy godmother, Claudine.
I’ve never read Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire books, but I’m told that the character of Claudine plays a critical part in at least two of them.
True Blood Goes Gay Greek Vampire
True Blood’s sexy, new gay Greek vampire, Talbot (Theo Alexander, debuting in the HBO hit’s June 20 episode), will cheat on his 3,000-year-old sugar-daddy boyfriend of 700 years, King of Mississippi Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare), with one of these four straight Bon Temps studs: Bill (Stephen Moyer), Eric (Alexander Skarsgård), Jason (Ryan Kwanten) or Sam (Sam Trammell)!
Though he’s keeping his mouth shut about his secret lover’s identity (yes, it’s the one most of you are hoping for), Theo tells me, “Talbot loves Russell immensely because he’s [his] maker, but like any marriage, it has its ups and downs. One thing we have a huge fight over is that I always have to stay home. Sometimes I have to straighten him out and take drastic measures to save the marriage.

Rutina on Tara by Kathie
On Kathies' blog..
That Alan Ball... lucky for us he knows how to write great characters, and even luckier for us young Rutina Wesley knows how to play a great character when it comes to Tara, the sassy African American BFF of Sookie Stackhouse. I chatted with Rutina about her character and the third season of True Blood for the cover article on the series in the August issue of Sci Fi Magazine, which will be on the newsstands on June 1 or so.
Here's a small bit of our exclusive interview, most of which did NOT make the magazine...
KATHIE: Why do you think Tara has managed to get herself into so much trouble in the past?
RUTINA: That darn vulnerability. She’s so vulnerable and naive at times, but I think that’s just ‘cause all she knows is Bon Temps. It's a small town. Even though she’s well read and self-educated, there’s still a lot of things about life experience that Tara just doesn't know. So she’s really getting some life experience (laughs). And she’s gonna go through a lot of different emotions. They’re giving me another incredible journey, and I just can’t wait.
KATHIE: Your character has such depth and isn't anything like the Tara in the book series. How do you feel about this role?
RUTINA: I mean it’s all coming together so beautifully, and I feel incredibly lucky and honored, to be a part of this cast and be a part of this show and working for Alan Ball and the rest of the writers and HBO is a dream. It’s like a dream job, and I had no idea it would be such a huge hit. I mean it just like went to the sky. We’re all over the world now. I have people writing to me from Hungary and Germany, and it’s just like… I’m just like amazed.
I get overwhelmed and I cry every now and now ‘cause I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I’m on TV. I can’t believe people are enjoying my work. I mean this is what I went to school for. This is what I wanted, and I’m actually getting to do what I love. And when you get to do your passion, what you want to do, it’s incredible because there are a lot of people who actually don’t get to do what they want to do. So I’m incredibly thankful and grateful and appreciative of this job and of the show. It’s really great.
KATHIE: Your character gets a new romantic interest this season with the vampire Franklin Mott, played by James Frain. How would you describe the character?
RUTINA: Yeah, I say tall, dark and handsome with an emphasis on dark. I’ll say that.
