A Taste of True Blood: Cover Poll

One of the things I’m most excited about with the new site and this blog is the ability it gives us to have you all help shape the topics we choose to put out books on, and the books themselves.

We’re working on an anthology on True Blood (to be released this June), and we wanted to let you weigh in on the cover. We have two gorgeous potential covers (designed by the lovely and talented people at Faceout Studio), shown below. Which one would you pick?

Unpopular Vampires and Me

Let's face it, the world has been taken over by vampires.

At least, that's what people are saying. Little do they realize, vampires have been an enormous part of our world for a very long time -- my entire life, for certain. Growing up, I watched them on TV...

More Season 3 spoilers from Ausiello

Question: Any new spoilers for season 3 of True Blood? —Heather
Ausiello: Carrie Preston hints that “something very unexpected is going to happen with her character Arlene… [She] might just be nervous enough about the supernatural characters around her that she will try to do something about it. I think she is going to try to figure out a way to protect herself. She gets very upset. She doesn’t think vampires should be around children.”

Question: What’s Jason going to be up to on True Blood this season (aside from taking his shirt off, of course)? —Nick
Ausiello: “He finally discovers the long lost art of love,” reveals his portrayer, Ryan Kwanten. “Well, at least his version of. It gets him into more trouble that he expected. He’s also dealing with the fact that he committed a small crime in that he killed [Eggs].” What’s been his biggest acting challenge so far this season? “I start the season in bed with two girls,” he says. “Not that I couldn’t do it, but a challenge? Sure.”

'True Blood' gets "unexpected" plot twist

From Digital Spy

True Blood star Carrie Preston has revealed that an "unexpected" twist lies ahead for her character.

The actress, who plays Arlene Fowler on the HBO vampire drama, said that the upcoming third season sees her alter ego go to extreme lengths to protect her family.

"Something very unexpected is going to happen with Arlene," she told Entertainment Weekly. "[She] might just be nervous enough about the supernatural characters around her that she will try to do something about it."

She added: "I think she is going to try to figure out a way to protect herself. She gets very upset. She doesn't think vampires should be around children."

True Blood returns for its third series later this year in the US. Season two begins Friday, February 26 on FX in the UK.

'The Romantics': Anna Paquin and Katie Holmes are old girlfriends, at war over old boyfriend

Here's the plot, in movie algebra terms:

(Anna Paquin + Josh Duhamel) / Katie Holmes X (Malin Ackerman, Elijah Wood, Adam Brody, Dianna Agron, Jeremy Strong, and Rebecca Lawrence)

Translation: Katie Holmes will steal your man, Anna Paquin. Watch out! And your other friends are hooking up with each other, too!

The Romantics premiered Wednesday, and I think has potential to be one of the festival's breakouts.

Exclusive Denis O'Hare Interview on Edge of Darkness and True Blood

...At the premiere I also had to ask O'Hare about a project he's currently working on: True Blood. Okay, so 'had to' is a stretch... I'm a True Blood fan and getting to talk to the actor who's playing the Vampire King of Mississippi was more fun that work. He's filmed two episodes already, including one with Vampire Bill (played by Stephen Moyer). "[...]I had this great scene recently with Vampire Bill and it was a scene between two people talking about the people that they love, and what you do with that love. Because my boyfriend in the thing is 700 years old...I'm 2300 years old and we've been together for 700 years. And I have this great line where I say, 'Spend eternity together - that's commitment.' But, you know, the script is deep. It's not just frivolous, and I love that about it." Read/watch the interview...

True Blood Spoilers from EOnline

Kelly in New Madrid, Mo.: I can't wait for more True Blood! What can we expect from season three this summer?

Oh, where to begin? Let's start with the gorgeous Ryan Kwanten, who has some major storylines this season. First, Ryan says, "Jason finally falls in what he thinks is love. It's a pretty rare, unknown concept for him." Awww...Plus, Ryan tells us of Jason's future, "The fact that my character is dealing with the fact that he really has killed someone now is pretty crazy, and there's a whole host of new characters. There's the addition of werewolves coming in. We're using real wolves. It's crazy. I've yet to work with them. I'll work with them later on in the season, but I'm looking forward to it."

Alicia in La Cañada Flintridge, Calif.: I need True Blood scoop!
True Blood's Rutina Wesley tells us of Tara in season three, "She's going to have to grieve a lot to get over [Eggs]. And then it's going to be crazy madness." As for Tara's ex-lovah Sam, Nelsan Ellis teases, "Sam moves away from Sookie and Bon Temps, and he clings to the family that he's now starting to get to know. He finds his mother, father and brother." Come back home, Sam!

Azul in Orlando: Gimme some Eric Northman scoop! I miss my favorite Scandanavian True Blood vampire.
Did you see Nelsan's dish that he's going to be "Eric's henchman" this year? Nelsan also reassures us that we'll be getting a lot of Eric and Pam tag-team action this year as well: "Eric will definitely be in every episode, and Pam is definitely in the first four."
