At around July 2011, Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth broke things off after dating for two years. Right afterward, she was spotted with Michael Polish. It was even rumored that she was cheating on Alex with Michael. Now, Alex has been snapped with a mystery woman!

Last night, Alex was spotted arriving at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood with a new mystery lady. Who could it be?

Alex was hanging out with his True Blood co-stars at HBO’s 2012 Golden Globe Awards Afterparty, according to Gossip Center. The event took place at Circa 55 Restaurant in Beverly Hills, where Alex was partying it up with Sam Trammell, Evan Rachel Wood, Ryan Kwanten and Joe Manganiello. That sounds as if it were the place to be!

We’re not sure yet as to Alex’s mystery date’s identity. So please, if you know who she is, hit the comments and let us know! From what we’ve seen, it looks as if she’s an upgrade from Kate. What do you think?

Sound off in the comments while we wish we were in Beverly Hills last night for the hotness smorgasbord that was in that restaurant.

True Blood stars Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer cover the latest issue of SFX magazine. We’re not complaining, it’s been such a long time since we’ve seen them on the cover of any rags. So, at this point, we’re going to pretty much take what we can get!

From the magazine’s official website:

When dealing with sex-mad psychopathic vampires, we find it’s best to put them on the cover. They only get angry and make a blood mess otherwise. We’re celebrating the twenty things we love about True Blood as it returns to screens in the UK, and having civilized chats with Stephen Moyer, Joe Manganiello and Kristin Bauer Van Straten.

The magazine also speaks on The Twilight Saga, as well as The Walking Dead and other nifty shows — jam packed in issue number 216.

In other True Blood related news, we’ve learned that Kelly Overton and Louis Herthum will be joining the gang in Bon Temps — in recurring roles. Deadline reports:

Overton, repped by Innovative Artists, will play a dirty, beautiful werewolf named Rikki who demands to know what’s become of the pack leader. Herthum, repped by Main Title and Progressive Artists, will play a particularly large Marine-type werewolf who refuses to bow down before the new pack leader.

Until the show comes back for its fifth season, we’ve got these handy spoilers!

The actors from True Blood must get some strange requests from their fans, which include biting! But don’t count on Alexander Skarsgard to live up to the hype. Nope, he won’t bite you, Truebie, so get over it!

Alexander plays the Viking Sheriff of Area Five, Eric Northman. In character, he’s quick to bare his fangs, but in real life, he’s not having any part of it.

While he is grateful for the admiration bestowed upon him by his legion of fans (Team Eric!), he doesn’t want to bite them, as his character most certainly would.

In a new inteview with BlackBook Magazine, he said, “That’s one thing I’ll never really understand. But the main reason I don’t ever do it is because if I do it just once, every single person will be like, ‘Bite me! Bite me! Bite me!’”

He’s right. Once one fan spills the beans that they’ve gotten bitten by Alexander, it’s all over with. Still, there’s one place that he can go and not be troubled by silly requests, his native Sweden. This is where, he says, the folks aren’t stunned by his star power.

He said, “Not a single one of them is impressed by me. They’re happy for me, but they don’t give a f**k about that s**t. They could care less that they’re hanging out with a ‘celebrity.’”

Do you want Alexander to bite you?

Here’s Alexander Skarsgard’s ex-girlfriend, Kate Bosworth, out with her new beau, Michael Polish, going to a Coldplay concert. He looks a bit like a hobbit, doesn’t he?

It’s kind of like she’s trying to draw the camera’s attention from him by doing something stupid with her hair and wearing a see through shirt. That blouse reminds me of something you’d have to wear a tank top under after you’ve already cut out the shoulder pads.

He is giving the camera that look that says “I know I’m no Alexander Skarsgard….BUT” and then just leaves you hanging, because there really is no “but” there. There is no Alex replacement or clone in any situation.

She smiles as though she really thinks Alex is watching. I hate to break it to you, Kate, but he doesn’t give a crap what you’re doing or who you’re doing it with. You could be hooking up with a boat load of guys in Ronald McDonald costumes singing “Bad Romance” at the top of your lungs in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and Alex would say, “What’s for dinner?” and he’d still be more well liked.

What do you think? Is she trying to flaunt herself for Alex’s benefit? Or Chris Martin’s, even?

True Blood hottie Alexander Skarsgard has revealed that he quit acting when he first got media attention — and it was all because he didn’t want to be famous!

He started his career in acting at the young age of only seven-years-old, but had to give it up when he decided that he “just wanted to be a kid.”

He siad, “My father is an actor and I kind of grew up backstage, but I never wanted to be an actor when I was a kid. I did something and when I was thirteen it got some attention and I didn’t like being famous. I didn’t want to be recognized. I was insecure. I didn’t like the attention. I didn’t want people knowing who I was; so to hear people on TV, radio talking about who I was and what I like was kind of confusing.”

At the age of nineteen, he joined the Swedish military and then went to college in Leeds, North England. Afterward, he decided to give acting another try.”

He added, “I don’t know, I just missed it. I was twenty years old, I’d lived in Leeds and I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, and thinking about reasons for quitting, it was nothing to do with being onstage or in front of the camera. It was everything the commotion around me, so I thought I should at least give it a last try before I decide this is not what I want to do, so I don’t end up fifty-five and bitter because I never tried.”

We’re glad he came back to acting, aren’t you? Who else could they have gotten to play Eric Northman so well? No one, that’s who.

Attention ladies (and some men!) True Blood hunk Alexander Skarsgard has broken things off with his girlfriend, Kate Bosworth!

Alex is most known for playing racy vampire Eric Northman on the hit HBO series. He has ended his two-year-long relationship with Kate. A source said, “It was very mutual. And it happened a while ago.”

It appears that Alex has been enjoying his freedom post-split, as well. Comic-Con attendees saw the vampire hottie making eyes at a tall brunette during his appearance there with the rest of the show’s cast.

A source confirmed, “He’s single…and he is loving the attention!”

Did they get together to promote their long-awaited movie, Straw Dogs? I’d hate to call it a showmance for a movie’s sake, but it seems like that’s what it was. Was she only using him for publicity? What do you think?

True Blood’s Anna Paquin and Alexander Skarsgard revamp (ha!) the latest cover of Entertainment Weekly in their version of the famous American Gothic painting.

And if that’s not enough for you Truebies, we’ve also got the second and third versions of the covers, featuring Anna with Stephen Moyer and her with Joe Manganiello.

Alexander spoke of his female fanbase, saying, “I’ll never get used to that. It’s just very, very humbling and flattering. The character Eric means so much to me and I’m having so much fun playing him. Of course it means a lot when you meet fans and you can actually tell there are people out there who really do care about the character. It means something to you, then. That’s kind of why you do this whole thing.”

If you’ve been fans of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, then you know that the upcoming season is filled with nothing but Sookie and Eric goodness. Of course, Alan Ball has loosely based the hit show on the books, with season four dedicated to Dead To The World. In that book, Eric is cursed by witches and has amnesia. He takes shelter in Sookie’s house and completely devoid of power and politics, they fall in love. (And, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the shower scene!)

Alexander isn’t giving up any of the details on the upcoming season, but he did tell us one thing. He said, “I did some crazy stuff last year. I almost had sex with a Greek man and I was covered in his goo. Everything from here on is pretty childish. Everything’s quite innocent.”

The Greek man he’s referring to, of course, is Talbot, of whom he murdered as a retaliation to Russell’s murder of his human parents a thousand years ago.

The fourth season starts on Sunday, June 26th on HBO. WAITING SUCKS! But to tide you over, sink your teeth into the smaller images below and click twice for the larger sizes.

Which cover is your favorite??? Let us know in the comments!

Season four of True Blood is gearing up to premiere on Sunday, June 26th. If you’ve read the books, then you already know that Alan Ball is only using them as a basis for the storylines. But, we’re still hoping for the Sookie and Eric storyline from book four to come alive.

If you haven’t read the books, then these might be spoilers for the upcoming season….so it’s after the jump for the goodies. (continue reading…)

Now that Russell Edgington has been done away with, the vampires of Bon Temps, Louisiana have to win back the good graces of the human population. And it all begins with a smille!

Vampire sheriff of area five, Eric Northman does a campaign video saying that there have been a lot of politicians warning their constituents not to trust vampires, and he just wants the vamps to be treated the same as humans.

Check out the video: (continue reading…)

The promo for the fourth season of True Blood is here! Woot!

We had to post this for our wonderful friend Misty, who runs our sister site, Tragicomical (and Robyn, too). Misty has been sick lately, so we’re hoping that a good dose of Alexander Skarsgard shirtless as vampire Eric Northman will fix her right up! As for Robyn, she’s just lusting after our man!

Eric is suffering from amnesia in the video below and has forgotten his thousand years of hating all things human. He knows he’s a vampire, but that’s about it!

Check out the video:

Hotness!

On the vampire series True Blood, Alexander Skarsgard plays the sheriff of area five, Eric Northman. Sometimes, the role calls for nudity – and Alexander is more than happy to oblige.

We’ve learned that once Alexander gets naked for the role, he stays naked for an entire eight hours. Co-star Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam, said, “He was once naked for about eight hours and he’s completely comfortable with it. He’s Swedish. My husband’s band toured in Sweden and he said that’s just how it is. There’s no puritanical background there. It’s nice because it makes all of us more comfortable with it.”

E! News has more:

Bauer says there’s no update on Skarsgård slipping into pink spandex on the show like his character does in the Charlaine Harris’ original Sookie Stackhouse book series. “He’s not in pink spandex yet,” she said. “If it doesn’t happen, I’m going to just beg him to do it just for me.”

As for Bauer herself getting naked again, she’s already preparing for it. “When I’m on hiatus I never go to the gym—never!” she admitted. “But after my first wardrobe fitting, I go four days a week.”

I can’t wait for season four already!
