Finally, some of the other True Blood fans sites follow ' Loving True Blood in Dallas' lead and stop using paparazzi photos !!
As you faithful readers know I have NEVER posted those photos on this blog as I think they are intrusive and certainly NOT in the spirit of fandom that I believe in.
I am appalled when the other sites post these paparazzi photos of our favorite True Blood actors coming in and out of Walgreen's, videos stores or just going about their daily lives with children, family and friends!
It's about time they stop and kudos to them for the policy change !

'True Blood' adds fresh blood: Janina Gavankar and Jessica Tuck become regulars
Gavankar, who will always be Shiva from The League to me, is going to play a teacher/shape-shifter, I guess to keep Sam company. Breckenridge, who was great as the pouty Willa on Dirt (why am I the only one who loved that show?), will be a Wiccan, and Lim will a cage fighter, according to Deadline. Is cage fighter now a mythical being? No one tell Ryan from The O.C..

Sookie Book # 11 " Dead Reckoning " cover art
So what does the cover art work mean ????
Chapter 1 should be up next week !
Who is getting excited ?
With her knack for being in trouble’s way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte’s, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. But Sookie suspects otherwise and she and Sam work together to uncover the culprit – and the twisted motive for the attack. But her attention is divided. Though she can’t ‘read’ vampires, Sookie knows her lover Eric Northman and his ‘child’ Pam well – and she realises that they are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, she is drawn into the plot -which is much more complicated than she knows. Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, Sookie will learn that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human – and that there is a new Queen on the board . . .

Jim "Hoyt" Parrack interview with wehearttv
Jim Parrack is no newcomer to TV. He has appeared on several hit series including Criminal Minds, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, ER...and one of my faves, Supernatural. Now THAT must have been a fun shoot- 3 born & bred- and proud- Texas boys together for a week of filming?! YeeeHaw!! Yahoo? Well, whatever it is hot Texas boys say...!
For the past 3 years Jim has starred on HBO's smash summer hit True Blood as the gentle, innocent and super-tall Hoyt Fortenberry. Jim brings life to the down home southern mama's boy with amazing ease and believability. I have to admit, Hoyt is among my faves in Bon Tempe and not just because he's completely adorable. Hoyt's a good boy, he has a good heart and he believes in people, almost blindly.
The Hoyt/Jessica love story is as tragic as it gets and Jim plays the heartbroken Hoyt with a tenderness we can all relate to. Well, relatively speaking. I mean I've never fallen in love with an actual vampire. Have you?

What’s Up, Denis O’Hare? The Elling Star on His Peculiar New Play and Camping It Up on True Blood
It’s one of the best sets to work on because the people are incredibly cool and the material is so rich. From the outside, the show can appear to be camp, but it’s a pretty tough acting job. You really have to bring all your skills. It was incredibly emotionally draining. Quite a few of the show’s fans are showing up at the theater, which is great.
As an actor who’s very open about his sexuality did you enjoy playing a gay role on True Blood?
In a strange way you can’t really say Russell is a gay character because ancients didn’t have the same understanding of sexuality as we do. I thought of him as a pagan warrior who was bent on taking over the world. That was the most important thing: The fact that he had a [male] lover was a little incidental.
Do you have any favorite credits from your many film roles?
A Mighty Heart. We shot it in India and it was such a cool project. Michael Winterbottom is one of the great directors of this century. Angelina [Jolie] is really cool and nice to work with, too. She’s as down to earth as she can be given the weird world she’s been forced into. I also loved doing Charlie Wilson’s War because I got to travel to Morroco and hang out with Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Do you have anything planned after Elling finishes its run in March?
Not really, I've been focusing on this. I don't know about True Blood. My character's not dead [Russell was buried alive in a cement tomb]. For all I know, I'm going to L.A. to get out of the cement!
