Anna Paquin ( Sookie ) and Stephen Moyer ( Vampire Bill ) at an Oscar party !

Stars' Fair Memories from Popwrap

And staying on the couple tip, here are "True Blood" co-stars and real life lovah's -- Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton. I wonder if it's hard for Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer to be sexually adventurous. I mean, what beats him crawling out of the ground, ripping open her gossamer nightgown and having insane graveyard sex? No, seriously, I'm looking for suggestions.

You know you've watched too much True Blood when...

When you inform your dog that “Glamor” doesn’t work on you, as they stare you down in hopes you will drop whatever it is you are eating.

When your husband and kids start referring to you as Sookie, just to get your attention.

When you find yourself RSVP-ing to events on Facebook like Sam's Birthday Bash and Merlotte’s Mardi Gras Party and you wonder what to wear

You know you've watched too much True Blood when...you wanna get bite marks tattoos on your inner ties

When your Dr tells you that you need to start taking B-12 and folates because you are a bit anemic and you wonder “ Hmm wait, who bit me ?”

You know you've watched too much True Blood when...you understand every single southern expression on the show (and that's hard for a Brazilian)

when that really annoying person at work pisses you off, the first thought in your mind is "jihad this!"

Thanks to everyone who is sending them to me - send me you favorites !

How A Show’s Title Sequence Is Designed To Hook Viewers

Interesting look at opening titles for TV shows...below is the mention on True Blood but other TV shows are discussed.

For the True Blood opener, Jace Everett’s rhythmically raw single “Bad Things” accompanies a montage of imagery depicting nature, religion and the occult, sex, blood and death.

“I wanted a sense of the twin polarities of the need for transcendence as it plays out in the rural south — of church and sort of whipping yourself up into an evangelical frenzy, and the honky-tonk on Saturday night where you basically do the same thing only through drugs and hooking up and getting into brawls,” Ball said.

Our little Oscar winner ... Anna Paquin

Biography

Anna Helene Paquin was born on July 24th, 1982 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She has one sister and one brother. Her parents were both teachers. The family moved to New Zealand when she was four years old where she attended Hutt Intermediate School. Even though she began secondary school in New Zealand she finished high school in Los Angeles, California. She and her mother had moved to the United States after her parents divorced.

Anna began her acting career at the age of eleven in the critically acclaimed film The Piano. She won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie, which, at the time, made her the second youngest winner of the award. She followed The Piano with another highly acclaimed film Jane Eyre in 1996 and she also starred in Fly Away Home in 1996. She also later had roles in Amistad, Hurlyburly, A Walk on the Moon and She's All That. She attended Colombia University for a year but left to continue acting. She went on to appear in X-Men series as Rogue, a role which took her from child actor to teen star. In 2006 she produced and starred in Blue State, a romantic comedy about a disgruntled Democrat who follows through on a drunken campaign promise to move to Canada if George W. Bush got re-elected.

Anna continues to act in film but has also moved to stage performing in several plays in New York and London.

Tidbits
• She has two agents, Gail Cowan in New Zealand, and William Morris in L.A.
• Her favorite color is green
• She had no acting experience when she auditioned for The Piano
• She enjoys swimming, rugby and downhill skiing

Whedon’s World

A new show from the creator of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

From the New Yorker

Joss Whedon, the creator of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” its spinoff “Angel” (which was co-created with David Greenwalt), “Firefly,” and a new Friday-night show on Fox called “Dollhouse,” has a fan following that is probably more clamorously devoted than that of anyone else in the business. In interviews, he freely discusses his creative process and his frustrations with certain aspects of the entertainment industry, and acknowledges the give-and-take he has with his fans, with whom he communicates far more than famous TV figures usually do. When you look into Whedon’s world—Whedonians have a large footprint on the Web, and there is much information and analysis to take in—the image that comes to mind isn’t of worshippers before an idol but of a chatty gathering of like-minded souls, who have come together to form a community. Which isn’t to say that he isn’t duly idolized: he is, after all, often referred to on Web sites as a god, and there are those who wear T-shirts to comics conventions that say “Joss Whedon Is My Master Now.” Paradoxically—for Whedon is an avowed atheist—what they worship is his questing humanism.

True Blood Season 2 Ep 2 'Keep This Party Going' on IMDb

True Blood Season 2 on IMDb so far this is what they have on this True Blood Season Two: Episode Two "Keep This Party Going "

I was tickled pink to read in a recent interview with Alan Ball that they are on purpose planting misinformation about True Blood Season 2.

I think that is terrific and it will keep us all on our toes and NONE of us will ever for sure know until we are seeing that episode with our own eyes ...

This is what I have on Episode two who knows if any of it is correct or maybe just part of it is corrrect! Either way it sure is fun.

* Note Michael Lehmann also directed these 2 episode from Season One of TB.
The Fourth Man in the Fire (2008) TV episode
Escape from Dragon House (2008) TV episode

and Brian Buckner wrote the episodes below for TB Season One; so this writer and director worked together on last season's Escape from Dragon House, Episode 4.

True Blood goes to the Academy Awards: where does Anna Paquin keep her Oscar ?

Tonight is the Academy Awards and I've seen a number of articles where they have asked previous winners where they keep their statues ( I don't know why ??) but here is Anna's answer.

Academy Award tonight 5pt/8et more info here a score card below. Enjoy!

Another thing, where do they stick their statuettes? Angelina's mom has her Supporting for "Girl, Interrupted" . . . Willem Dafoe's Supporting for "Platoon" stays in his office: "I don't even keep autographed photos of myself with celebrities at home. I want to forget that aspect of my work" . . . Russell Crowe's got his in his Australian chicken barn. He says "it increases the size of the eggs my hens lay" . . . Dame Maggie Smith stashes hers "on a fireplace in my sitting room so I can see them" . . . Anna Paquin keeps hers in back of a closet near her boots: "I don't want people to see it. It embarrasses me."
