Alexander Skarsgard Explains How This Rolling Stone Cover Came To Be

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 6, 2010 //

“We showed up and we shot very PG-13 with our clothes on for basically the whole day, like six or seven hours. Then towards the end the photographer said, ‘I have this, these shots are beautiful and the magazine is going to be happy with them but I’d like to try something if you guys are game.’ He explained it and it was just one of those things in the moment where we all looked at each other, we’d spent all day with the photographer, we felt comfortable with him, we knew that he was great and the atmosphere was right and we were like, ‘F*** it, let’s do it.’ No one thought that the magazine would go for it.”

“Sesame Street”‘s Take On “True Blood”: “True Mud”

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comSeptember 23, 2010 //


“Sesame Street” may have said no to Katy Perry’s boobs, but that doesn’t mean that the classic kids’ show has lost its cool. This amazing spoof of “True Blood,” called “True Mud,” is designed to teach kids about rhyming. And make us adults laugh, because the idea of trying to clean up this show and make it kid-friendly is just, well, comical. [PopEater] Keep reading »

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comSeptember 17, 2010 //

“I sniff you a lot. And I growl a lot when you ask me to do things, like clean up.”

—Joe Manganiello of “True Blood” jokes with his girlfriend, model Audra Marie, about why he was the perfect person to play werewolf Alcide. Her response after the jump … Keep reading »

Would You Buy Stephen Moyer’s, Ahem, Genital Sock?

Amelia McDonell-ParrySeptember 3, 2010 //

“Stephen did not say whether the sock had been used or not…and we’re not asking.”

That’s the word on an eBay auction benefiting Gulf Aid for which Stephen Moyer has donated his “Sock of Destiny.” That’s what he calls the c**k sock he uses to cover his vampire wang when filming love scenes for “True Blood.” The current bid for the c**k sock (God, I love saying that) is $1,400. Something tells me Alexander Skarsgard‘s would fetch even more but, unfortunately for the charity, he doesn’t use one. So anyway, how about pooling our money and going in on a group bid?

Joe Manganiello Of “True Blood” Has A Stalker Problem

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comSeptember 2, 2010 //

Joe Manganiello of “True Blood” is, apparently, a stalker magnet. Even before permanently losing his shirt for the role of Alcide, Joe had a few rabid followers. “I’ve had two crazy stalkers that, ah, one would call and leave these really weird poems on my phone. Another one would send these creepy pictures to my house,” he said. “I was at the police station filing this report and the police officer’s trying to figure out who these guys are and I kind of looked at him and shrugged my shoulders and said, ‘It’s never a hot chick.’ And he just kind of stared at me.”

But since “True Blood”‘s new season started, things have gotten much worse. Keep reading »

Do The “True Blood” Action Figures Do The Actors Justice?

Amelia McDonell-ParrySeptember 1, 2010 //

OK, so technically these are “busts” not action figures since they don’t have legs and aren’t really meant to be played with. In other words, you can’t make Bill, Sookie, and Eric have a threesome by rubbing their figurines together the way I might have done with Barbie, Ken, and Midge, but I digress. Bill and Sookie’s busts are pretty accurate, but Eric’s does not even come close to capturing ASkar’s essence, at least in the face. The body is pretty hot though. For a toy, er, display piece I mean. [$69.99 each, HBO] Keep reading »

After Edward: What Will Be The Next Big Post-Vampire Craze?

Julie GersteinAugust 25, 2010 //

Team Edward or Team Jacob. “True Blood” and “The Vampire Diaries.” It’s clear that blood-sucking vampires are having a cultural moment. In fact, since the first “Twilight” movie was released in 2008, vampire-related products have grossed more than $7 billion worldwide. That’s a whole lot of blood at the bloodbank.

But “Twilight” and “True Blood” won’t be around forever (sad but true). So we’ve provided a list of several hot-to-trot contenders ready to replace the vampire craze with all the Burger King merchandising tie-ins your heart desires. Keep reading »

Who Needs Sookie Anyway?

Amelia McDonell-ParryAugust 18, 2010 //

Yeah, I would have preferred a more homoerotic pose on Rolling Stone‘s “True Blood” cover too. Only, I would have thrown in a naked and bloody Alcide for a little extra testosterone. [Camp Blood] Keep reading »

Quotable: “True Blood” Creator Alan Ball Takes A Shot At “Twilight”

Annika HarrisAugust 18, 2010 //

“To me, vampires are sex. I don’t get a vampire story about abstinence. I’m 53. I don’t care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.”

– Alan Ball, who brought “True Blood” to the masses, takes a well-deserved shot at Stephenie Meyer‘s Twilight series, which I hear has implied sex in the fourth novel that I’m too frustrated to read. [Just Jared] Keep reading »

Quotable: Alexander Skarsgard Doesn’t Need A Sock

Amelia McDonell-ParryAugust 18, 2010 //

“I don’t want a sock around it, that feels ridiculous. If we’re naked in the scene, then I’m naked. I’ve always been that way.”

– Alexander Skarsgard doesn’t wear anything to cover his junk when he’s filming nude scenes for “True Blood,” and I, for one, am grateful. [Rolling Stone] Keep reading »
