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!

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…)

In a true miracle, True Blood star Stephen Moyer flipped his car on a race track at the Long Beach Grand Prix yesterday, but walked away without a scratch!

He was doing a qualifying lap when his car flipped once and landed on its wheels. He didn’t appear to be injured and got out of the vehicle without assistance.

A rep for the race said, “The actor emerged unscathed — and the top celebrity qualifier based on individual lap time.”

Where was Sookie??!?

In September, we told you about how Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer were doing their Battle of the Fang, in order to raise money for their favorite charities. Well, Vampire Eric lost and we were waiting for the resulting photos to surface online.

Photos have surfaced of Alexander wearing the above t-shirt of Vampire Bill’s choosing, of course.

Nice! What a good way to raise money for charity!

Stephen Moyer has beat out fellow vampire actor Alexander Skarsgard in their Battle Of The Fang. In this battle, the winner gets to choose the slogan for a t-shirt to be worn by the loser. The proceeds of the competition were all donated to charity.

So how did the vampire teams stack up?

Team Bill Compton: $35,043
Team Eric Northman: $34,223

True Blood News reports:

We are proud of ALL the fans that have stepped up and donated to both GulfAid and to SOS Children’s Charities. Of course, we also need to thank Alex Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer for playing along and agreeing to participate in the Battle of the Fang in the first place. Both these guys deserve a round of applause, because their job isn’t done yet. They will each be photographed wearing the appropriate winner/loser t-shirt. Your t-shirt suggestions have been sent to Stephen. He’ll decide which t-shirts need to be created.

Whose team are you on? I’m Team Eric, of course.

Stephen Moyer, who plays Civil War era vampire Bill Compton on HBO’s True Blood, has revealed that he gets jealous over Anna Paquin’s on-set love talk.

Anna, who plays Sookie Stackhouse on the hit show, has some love scenes to film with co-star, Alexander Skarsgard, who plays Eric Northman.

He says that he finds it difficult to watch her spoken intimate scenes with Alexander’s character, as opposed to their raunchy sex scenes.

He said, “It could be a spoken scene, which is far more intimate than a physical love-making scene, and that’s sometimes tough to watch – just as it is for me to watch Anna do it with anybody else. But there’s an understanding that we are doing our job. We both get to read the script, so we get to talk about it before we attack those scenes.”

He also reveals that he’s happy to be able to think about the scenes through the perspective of an actor. He adds, “I think it must be incredibly difficult for couples where one partner isn’t an actor. They really don’t get you looking in someone else’s eyes and saying, ‘I love you’, or having sex or, even worse, being incredibly intimate.”

Who’s your favorite character on the show?

The torrid love bird trio on True Blood, Sookie Stackhouse, Eric Northman and Bill Compton all appear naked on the cover of the newest issue of Rolling Stone. And what else is new? Of course, they are all covered in blood.

The cover I want to see is the one with Alexander Skarsgard/Eric Northman, Joe Manganiello/Alcide Herveaux and Jason Stackhouse/Ryan Kwanten nude on the cover.

I think Rolling Stone or some other well respected publication needs to make this happen.
