Gearing up the anticipation for “True Blood” season 2, HBO has released a clip for the vampire drama series. This would be the HD and official version of the clip that was played back at the True Blood panel at Paley Festival on April 13 and leaked hours later.

In the clip, Sookie travels with Bill and Jessica in a car to return to Bon Temps. But arguments soon starts between Sookie and Bill while Jessica is crying blood about her family. Sookie is putting sympathy for Jessica’s longing for her family but Bill insists that vampires do not have families. Sookie then emphasized on the fact that Bill had glamorized her in the first place.

Ready for some fangstastic casting news?

Sources confirm to me exclusively that True Blood creator Alan Ball has tapped Evan Rachel Wood to play the pivotal role of Sophie-Anne, the vampire Queen of Louisiana!

Who dat, you ask? She’s a 500-year-old vampire from France who is charming, wily, ruthless and wise. She’s a consummate diplomat who has (or had) many of history’s most famous people on speed dial.

Short story shorter: It’s a major frakkin’ part, and landing Wood (whose last significant TV gig was Once and Again) is a major frakkin’ coup.

A True Blood insider tells me that Wood is booked for two episodes, both of which will air towards the end of the show’s upcoming second season. But rest assured, if the show is renewed for a third season (and, please, it will be), Wood will be back. Again: Major frakkin’ part

New Zealand actress, Anna Paquin, has won the best actress Golden Globe for her role on the vampire television series, True Blood. Paquin plays Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress in small town Louisiana, who can read peoples thoughts. The HBO series is written by Alan Ball who also was responsible for the award winning Six Feet Under.

She was a surprise winner over Sally Field from Brothers and Sisters, Law & Order actress, Mariska Hargitay, The Closer’s Kyra Sedgwick and Mad Men’s January Jones.

The woman who wrote the comedic vampire books that inspired the HBO series True Blood is author Charlaine Harris. In what will be her only appearance in support of the reissue of her book Living Dead in Dallas, the second Sookie Stackhouse title, she’s set to speak at the Central Branch of the Houston Public Library tomorrow.

The book is named Living Dead in Dallas, so a stop in the Big D would seem a natural, but Harris chose to come to Houston instead and she talked to Hair Balls about why. “My favorite book store in America is in Houston, Murder by the Book on Bissonnet. The owners and staff of MBTB supported me when there was no career to support, starting twenty-plus years ago. So if I sign anywhere for a book, it’ll be in Houston.”

The British heart-throb appeared on Ellen DeGeneres and stated that he has trouble in the dating department. He says that he is single and would like to be in a relationship but, ““No one else seems to want to get into a relationship with me”.  They also talked about his hair and everyone’s fascination with it. It looks a though he could use a comb in my opinion, but hey, that’s me. Check out the video.
