Kevin Alejandro, the actor playing Lafayette's new love interest, is out doing the tour in support of True Blood, and his other show SouthLAnd. You can check out a pretty cool video of him here, but feel free to skip to the 2:20 mark. Before that, it's all SouthLAnd info.
And if you are somehow not sure who Kevin Alejandro is yet--and believe me, it's going to be a temporary state--you can check him out in his first HBO appearance. This one was on Big Love a few seasons back.

The interview will be videoed and will be posted at a later date on the Gollancz website for all to watch. Double Yay! :-)

'True Blood' Star Stephen Moyer Knew Anna Paquin Would Never Turn Down His Marriage Proposal
We're still excited about the forthcoming nuptials between real-life "True Blood" couple, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, but when we caught up with Stephen at Cosmopolitan 's 2010 Fun Fearless Males party in New York City on Monday night, we couldn't help but be a little perplexed about where in the world our invite to the wedding has been.
Read and watch on MTV
Sorry Sookie! Vampire Bill is thirsty for Arlene and Jessica’s blood now too!
True Blood’s Stephen Moyer who plays vampire Bill Compton, has a new craving and it doesn’t involve the blood of his fiance/costar Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse). Stephen wants to bite into the veins of co-stars Carrie Preston and Deborah Ann Woll!
“I’ve always had a thing about Carrie Preston who plays Arlene. In that long red wig, she does things for me,” Stephen told us at Cosmopolitan magazine’s “Fun Fearless Male Awards” at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC on Mar. 1 ,when we asked him whose blood he would like to suck besides Anna’s.

Stephen Moyer Misses Scenes with Anna Paquin
When it comes to fiancée Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer can’t get enough of a good thing.
“We haven’t been working together that much this year and I kind of miss that,” said Moyer, whose True Blood character Bill Compton has been separated from Paquin’s Sookie Stackhouse. “We met during the show, we met on camera, we met doing something that we love and that’s what we do. And I really miss her when Bill’s been taken [away].”
And it’s not just his significant other he misses – it’s the crew dynamic as well, he told reporters at Cosmopolitan’s Fun Fearless Male Awards in New York Monday night. “It’s quite fun too, when [the camera’s] not rolling,” he said. “I think the thing is because the crew and everybody grew up watching us, they’ve seen every move I’ve ever made on her.”

‘True Blood’ Vampires Would Kick The Cullens’ Butts!
Lindsey asks Stephen Moyer, Kellan Lutz and Paul Wesley, which vampire cast would win in a battle for blood? Who do you think?
It’s time to spill some blood! We caught up with three vampires – one from each cast — Stephen Moyer, Kellan Lutz, and Paul Wesley — at Cosmopolitan magazine’s “Fun
Fearless Male Awards” at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC on Mar. 1 and they admitted there might be some ass kicking involved if the three casts were ever to fight. And who would win? True Blood’s Stephen Moyer thinks, “We could take both of them [Twilight and Vampire Diaries] down at the same time!”Stephen, who plays Bill Compton, continued, “We are much older than those whipper snappers [and] just me and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard )” would tear the other two casts apart in a matter of seconds!
Twilight’s Kellan Lutz agreed that True Blood would carry the deadliest stake: “I think True Blood would kick all our asses. Eric on True Blood) would kick all our asses. He’s a bad ass on the show.” But, he continued, “Really, who knows. We all have different strengths and powers.” For the Cullen clan, “you have to rip us apart. That can be tough if you [don't have] super human strength to do that.”
Vampire Diaries‘ Paul Wesley stood by himself when asked which cast would win. “I would win any fight, any vampire fight,” he said. But, for him, the battle lies within the scenes of his own show. He admitted he’s thirsty for Damon’s (played by Ian Somerhalder) blood. “I would kick
Damon’s ass! I’m convinced of that and I plan on kicking his ass in future episodes,” he shared with us.read on Hollywood Life

Sam Trammell: I don't believe in the supernatural
But the 38-year-old actor, who plays bar owner Sam Merlotte in the hit vampire drama, admits it's fun to be a part of the spooky show.
Sam said: "Well, I'm not really one who believes in ghosts, I mean, I don't have a whole lot of supernatural bent in me, no, but it's fun to be part of it."
He went on: "I love the fantasy and the imagination and the world of it, I mean I love it. It's so much more fun than just doing a by-the-book series and playing a lawyer or doctor or fireman."
Sam may have a supernatural element to his character - who sporadically turns into a dog - but the actor prefers to focus on the other sides to him.
"I really like that he is damaged person, I came from a very normal American family which is great.I don't want to put it down, but Sam's parents abandoned him when he was 14 because he turned into a dog and that is a real scar on him.
"It's interesting to play someone like that, who has had to fend for themselves on streets and who didn't have parents and who knows how he found the money to buy the bar? That to me is the most interesting thing about Sam. More than the fact that he's a shapeshifter, just the fact that he had a difficult childhood."

TwiCon Coming to Ottawa, Canada!
As a resident of Ottawa, and a huge, huge fan of Twilight, I couldn’t be more excited to announce that TwiCon, the annual Twilight convention, is coming to Canada!! Not only to Canada, but to my very own city, Ottawa! The event was originally scheduled to be held in Toronto this summer but, because of the G20 Summit (and because let’s face it, Toronto already gets enough of the good stuff), it’s been moved to the nation’s capital!
TwiCon has actually only happened once before and that was last year in Dallas, Texas when 3,000 people – mostly screaming teenage girls with Rob Pattinson in their eyes – showed up. They’re estimating that only 1,200 people will show up at Ottawa’s event but I bet we see a lot more. Once again, Canada is underestimated. But I really don’t care how many people come because I know for certain that I will be there!
What Exactly IS Urban Fantasy and How Does it Fit the Romance Landscape?
Urban Fantasy has crept into our subconscious and our romance reading via the back door.
We started off loving paranormal romance and that is still a huge staple in our diet of romance novels. But many readers (and writers!) aren’t exactly sure what Urban Fantasy is and how it fits with paranormal romance.
It can get confusing, absolutely.
Urban Fantasy is a Hybrid
Part of the problem is that paranormal romance evolved in the romance world.
Urban Fantasy evolved in the Science Fiction/Fantasy genres.

SUPERNATURAL (CW) This one-time “X-Files” rip-off has grown up, managing to be cheerfully self-mocking and interestingly apocalyptic at the same time. The most recent new episode featured both a hunt for a renegade Cupid (fun) and the appearance of Famine, the first of the four Horsemen (serious). Returns March 25, with zombies, including the dead wife of Bobby (Jim Beaver).
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (CW) It’s not the best new show of the season, but on a scale of expectation versus achievement, this smart, moody amalgam of “Dawson’s Creek” and “Twilight” would rank No. 1. Ian Somerhalder’s sly performance as the pouty bad-boy vampire Damon is a bonus. Returns March 25, with more back story: If Katherine (Nina Dobrev) wasn’t in the to
FRINGE (FOX) “Fringe” is a good news, bad news proposition. The good news: Across a season and a half, the producers, writers and designers have maintained the most satisfying, entertaining, coherent story arc of any science-fiction-flavored prime-time drama. The bad news: No David Duchovny or Gillian Anderson. The performances here don’t rise to the level of the writing the way they did in “The X-Files,” the show that “Fringe” wants to be. Returns April 1, with the story of how Walter brought Peter back from the Other Side.

Free TruBlood to UK watchers from Mirror UK
Did you see True Blood on FX on Friday ? Is it hot in here ?! I mean, I know these vampires are DEAD but damn, they know how to work up a sweat.
Sex and death aside, True Blood has dialogue to rival Mad Men or the dear departed Nurse Jackie.
"Jessica, I'm having a guest coming over shortly," vampire warned his new protégé.
"Can we eat her ?!"
"We may not."
It's an education.
