HBO’s hit vampire show “True Blood” has unveiled its official poster for the its fifth season. As you can see from the above photo, it’s a poster showing a vampire crying tears of blood.

The wait is almost over, Truebies! In the latest promo video for the show, Eric and Pam are fighting about the release of Russell Edgington. Does he really think she had anything to do with that? Let’s hope not!

Are you dying to see the show this summer? #WaitingSucks doesn’t it?

True Blood’s resident werewolf Joe Manganiello takes his clothes off for a different reason in his new movie Magic Mike — he’s a stripper!

But he did reveal the hardest part about playing the role of Big Dick Richie for the movie: wearing a thong!

In a new interview, he said, “I wore these little thongs that literally go up your butt, and it definitely takes getting used to. It was uncomfortable at first. It sort of felt like a wedgie, but once you get into the routine of wearing one, you know what to do and you just do your thing. We all had to suffer a bit for our craft.”

He went on to say, “I have so much respect for all women who choose to wear them. It’s not easy wearing one.”

As far as whether or not the actor felt self-conscious at all stripping off in front of his co-stars, not a chance. He said, “No, we all took our turn in the barrel. Being with the guys, nobody takes them self too seriously. Everybody was on set cheering, laughing and rolling on the ground.”

Despite all of the uncomfortable clothes and stripping of said clothes, he revealed that he doesn’t want his parents to go and see the flick. He said, “I told my parents not to go see this. Nothing can prepare them for what about they are going to see.”

He added, “My publicist saw it and couldn’t form a sentence afterwards. Anybody who knows me is going to definitely see me in a different light. My character’s name is Big Dick Richie for a reason.”

Joe, on behalf of ladies everywhere I would just like to say that we appreciate your sacrifice.

Get ready Truebies, TRUE BLOOD’S fifth season will begin on June 10th! It was just announced on the official HBO Twitter page.

We have already given you a sneak peek teaser video of what is to be expected from the new season. You can check that out here.

What do you think is going to happen in the show this season? Will YOU be watching the show? We can always hope for an Alcide/Sookie hookup, can’t we? And will Jason’s blood bond with Jessica save him from getting turned by Steve Newlin?

All of our questions and more will be answered when the show makes its return on June 10, 2012. Stay tuned!

Waiting isn’t going to suck for much longer, Truebies! We’ve got our grubby little hands on the trailer for the True Blood’s upcoming fifth season. The last time we visited Bon Temps, a lot went down.

Tara could be dead or not — could she be turned into a vampire? We’ve heard rumors that Godric’s other progeny Nora is coming to town. Is that who Eric is kissing in the trailer?

Also, we know that someone dug up Russell Edgington so that he can wreak more havoc on the town. Now that Steve Newlin has been changed into something he hates, he has gone after Jason. But since he has the blood bond with Jessica, will she come to his defense?

Will Jessica be attracted to Claude when he comes to town? We’ve heard rumors of a vampire/fairy romance – and it wouldn’t be the first time, would it? Who is Jessica embracing in the trailer?

WATCH:

Who the heck is Sookie burying? All of our questions and more will be answered when the show makes its return this June. Until then, waiting still sucks!

Spoiler alert!

The fifth season of True Blood will feature a recurring role of Claudine’s fairy brother, Claude. Now, we are happy to announce that the show has found their Claude — and it will be portrayed by Giles Matthey!

Reportedly, when the show returns this summer, Claude will draw the attention of vampire baby, Jessica! We all know how much vampires love them some fairies, so we’re not surprised. Besides that, he’s super cute and British!

Entertainment Weekly reports:

In the books, Claude is described as “the nephew of Sookie’s half-human/half-fairy grandfather, Fintan, and cousin to Sookie’s father … He makes an impact on all women and is described as being absolutely breathtaking … He started out as a stripper at Hooligans, a club in Monroe, which he later becomes owner of, and has branched out to print and runway modeling … Women usually say ‘wow’ when they see him, but his interest is men.”

So Jessica will fall for him, but I wonder if the show’s writers will continue with the premise that he’s only into guys? Can you see Jessica falling over a guy just to find out that he’s more interested in Jason Stackhouse? Ha.

What do you think of the casting? Hit the comments and let us know!

When we left the town of Bon Temps, Louisiana in season four, we had a lot of questions for the creator of True Blood. Briefly recapping the show’s fourth season, we saw Jason get raped over and over by the residents of Hot Shot. Also, Jesus died and Lafayette helped a soul rest in peace. Steve Newlin showed up on Jason’s doorstep as a vampire and Russell Edgington had been unleashed on the world once more. Sookie also advises Eric and Bill that she didn’t want to be with either of them….And most importantly, Tara lost a piece of her head, taking a bullet for Sookie.

So now, we’ve got some spoilers as part of a roundup so waiting can suck a little bit less.

In a flashback scene, Sookie uses her powers to embarrass some bullies on the playground. Also of note, we’ll be meeting Eric’s sister, Nora, (aka another of Godric’s progenies) and quite possibly Debbie Pelt’s parents. Also adding into the mix is a possible role for Alcide’s father, Jackson. And of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the addition of Chris Meloni to the cast.

Joe Manganiello has also mentioned that he wants a Sookie/Alcide romance to be written into the show. That wouldn’t be so bad, would it Truebies?

Dale Dickey will also be joining the show as Marcus’ mother. Obviously, she can’t be too happy that Marcus is dead and may want to exact her revenge on Alcide.

What are you looking forward to in season five of True Blood? Hit the comments with your thoughts!

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!

If you were wondering if anyone was left upset at the fact that Alcide Herveaux ended werewolf packmaster Marcus Bozeman’s pitiful existence, then we’ve got some spoilerific news for you!

TV Line reports:

My Name is Earl character actress Dale Dickey — who knows a thing or two about channeling formidable, backwoods matriarchs (see: her acclaimed, award-winning performance in last year’s Winter’s Bone) — is joining the HBO hit as Annie, Marcus’ werewolf mother.

Powerful and respected within the back due to her late son’s position, Annie is determined to perform a particular ritual. Might said ritual involve making Alcide pay for whacking her demon spawn?

Are you excited to see how she gets revenge on Alcide? I can’t wait for the fifth season of True Blood to start!

Waiting doesn’t have to suck so much for True Blood fans now that we’re revealing some delicious gossip about the hit vampire show!

We’ve got the dish on Eric Northman’s sister, Nora and who’s going to be playing her when the show comes back for its fifth season. According to TV Line, Lucy Griffiths (pictured above) will be playing the character. Lucy will be a series regular, according to the scoop.

Nora is also one of Godric’s progenies, who is working as a double agent within the Authority. The show will be back in the summer of 2012!

We can’t wait! Until then, enjoy the gossip as we deliver it — hot and fresh!

If you think that waiting for the fifth season of True Blood sucks, then we’ve got some scoop for you!

According to reports, the season five premiere episode of True Blood will show Sookie Stackhouse in a flashback scene from her childhood. Apparently there were some kids that weren’t so nice to her, so she uses her powers to embarrass her bullies.

E-Online reports:

Never too early for True Blood scoop. The season-five premiere of True Blood will have a flashback to Sookie’s (Anna Paquin) childhood, and we get to see her use her powers in a deliciously evil way to embarrass a couple of playground bullies. What did they do to piss her off? They don’t pick her for their kickball team! That is a wound that burns deep forever, kids…so be nice when playing kickball!

We’re still wondering if they’re going to cast Alcide’s father, Jackson Herveaux, in the upcoming season. Along with that, we’re curious about Eric’s sister, Nora…

Stay tuned, we’ll have more goodies for you when they become available. Until then, waiting still sucks!

We didn’t think it was possible, but according to True Blood’s resident hot werewolf, Joe Manganiello, his new movie Magic Mike actually has more nudity in it than the hit vampire show!

In a new interview, Joe said, “Everyone is pretty damn naked, and probably more naked than in True Blood even, if you can believe it. There are some dicey, dicey scenes in there. A lot girls get naked too.”

And guess what else?!? The movie actually has a plot! Who knew?!?

He revealed, “It’s unbelievable, and it’s so funny. It feels like Animal House. It’s hysterical, it’s like a great guy, buddy movie but it’s also got a lot of stuff for the ladies. It’s got a little bit for everybody. It’s hysterical, like laugh-out-loud screaming funny.”

When asked about the atmosphere on set, he replied, “Well, you know, it’s all kind of the sexy guys from their respective corners of the universe, but none of them take themselves seriously at all. So, it felt like spring break. We’re just like a bunch of bros just hanging out, you know, and just happened to male strip.”

Where do we sign???

Joe Manganiello has already filmed his scenes as Big Dick Richie for his new movie, Magic Mike. He talked about the saucy dance moves for the movie, telling his fans how he got the stripper moves!

He said, “Channing’s on another level, dance-wise, but he didn’t necessarily teach us. We had some people for Britney Spears’ choreography team teach us our moves. Body rolls, some hip stuff.”

He went on to reveal, “Everybody in the cast can really move. They can all carry off the moves, but nobody takes themselves seriously. We had a ton of fun. It felt like an ‘Animal House’ vibe – just a bunch of degenerate guys running around, causing trouble.”

Now that he’s done filming Magic Mike, he’s focusing on playing hot werewolf Alcide Herveaux in True Blood. He said that he’s meeting with the show’s creator, Alan Ball, to discuss season five of the hit show and what he’d like to see happen with Alcide.

He said, “Alcide likes Sookie a whole heck of a lot. I’m with the fans on this one. I totally want to see them hook up. Are you kidding?”

He revealed that his mother is a big fan of Anna Paquin’s and she’s also hoping for a romantic storyline between the two. He said, “My mom loves Anna Paquin – she’s seen The Piano probably a hundred times. She would love to see that. But if it meant my mother had to see me naked one more time on screen, she probably would not vote for that.”

The show has also hinted at the return of Russell Edgington, played by Denis O’Hare. Of that, Joe added, “I love Denis O’Hare. Him coming back – it’s not good for Alcide, but it’s definitely good for the show.”

Are you excited to see Magic Mike? How about the fifth season of True Blood? Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think!

True Blood’s resident hot werewolf Alcide Herveaux, Joe Manganiello, is said to be taking a cameo role on the newly revamped Two And A Half Men.

On October 24th, Joe will appear on the show — but what role will he play?!??

Apparently, Walden’s wife, Bridget (Judy Greer) is hooking up with Joe’s character. Judy is set to be introduced on tonight’s episode. She’s the one who Walden was trying to kill himself over, after she left him. (Seriously, who leaves a young, good looking guy who has gobs and gobs of cash?)

On last week’s episode of True Blood, we were left wondering if the vampires were going to blow Moon Goddess Emporium and everything inside of it to smithereens. We also learned that Marnie was the one orchestrating the attacks on the vamps, and not Antonia, as previously believed. Eric was bespelled to kill Bill and all heck breaks loose at the rally. Tommy died, leaving Sam to want to take out Marcus for it. Read our full recap HERE.

Tonight’s recap obviously contains spoilers for those who haven’t watched the show yet, so you’ve been warned! After the jump for the goodies! (continue reading…)

True Blood is soon winding down to a close of season four, as we are up to episode eleven, titled, Soul Of Fire. The penultimate episode airs on Sunday, leaving us with a lot of questions about what’s going down in Bon Temps, Louisiana.

Now that we know that Marnie is really behind the Antonia thing and that she’s not being possessed unwillingly, it left us with no doubt that she’s crazy. Sure, she was attacked by Eric, but you can’t take one vampire’s actions out on the whole lot of them, can she? (continue reading…)

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?

On tonight’s episode of True Blood, Sookie, Lafayette, Tara and Jesus are all trapped at Moon Goddess Emporium with Antonia and the rest of the witches. (Read our official recap here.)

It’s war! Are you excited for the penultimate episode of the series? Who’s going to win the war? Thoughts?

On last week’s episode of True Blood, Jessica and Jason got busy in the back of a pickup truck. Meanwhile, Antonia has made Eric her vampire slave in order to kill Bill. Tara and Holly are trapped at Moon Goddess Emporium and Sookie enlisted the help of Debbie to find information about Eric.
