True Blood's Pam Talks Season Five "Goodness" and Working With Superstar Alexander Skarsgård!
Art Streiber/HBO
"Every year I think, ‘We've kinda done it.' Every year I think ‘Wow, that was better than last year. These story lines and these scenes and the cast…I don't think they could get any better.' "
So says Kristin Bauer—who plays scene stealing vamp-extraordinaire Pam on True Blood—when we asked what's to come for the fangtastic HBO show. "And that's how I feel about [season] five," K.B. told us from the set.
So what sort of outrageous things will Pam say this season? And what's it like for the gal to work with Alexander Skarsgård now that he's a big, huge movie star?
HBO Bloodbath: Hung, Bored to Death, How to Make It in America Axed; Enlightened Survives
Prashant Gupta/HBO
It's an HBO bloodbath…and only one show came out unscathed.
Hung, How to Make It in America and Bored to Death have been canceled, the cable network announced today. Meanwhile, Enlightened, starring Laura Dern and Luke Wilson, has been granted a season two…

Does Julianne Moore Nail Sarah Palin? You Betcha!

We cannot wait to see Game Change, HBO's adaptation of the book of the same name about the 2008 presidential election.
Julianne Moore plays Sarah Palin. If what we've seen and heard is any indication of things to come, her portrayal is downright freaky.

Entourage's Jeremy Piven Dissed by His Own Niece (and She's Only 6!)
Lester Cohen/Wireimage
I'll get to the upcoming Entourage movie in a sec, but first let's talk about how Jeremy Piven, despite what he may thinks, isn't the biggest star in his family.
Four years ago, Piven's then 2-year-old niece, Pearl McCay, became a viral video phenomenon as Will Ferrell's foul-mouthed landlord in his Funny Or Die short The Landlord.
Now 6, Pearl hasn't let Uncle Jeremy forget it...

True Blood: Will Jason Stackhouse Survive New Season?
John P. Johnson/HBO
Uh, oh! Things aren't sounding too good for one of our favorite True Blood hotties.
Ryan Kwanten, who plays Sookie's brother Jason, says his character is in for a very rough ride this season.
Just how bad does it get for Bon Temps' new deputy sheriff? Really bad!
Keep reading to find out more. (Don't worry, no spoilers are revealed.)
Who's Playing Bristol Palin on HBO? This Girl!
Theo Wargo/WireImage for Candie's; Charley Gallay/WireImage
In casting the role of Bristol Palin, HBO has gone with a familiar face.
Melissa Farman, who starred in the cable network's award-gobbling movie Temple Grandin with Claire Danes, has been cast as Sarah Palin's daughter in Game Change, Jay Roach's upcoming political drama about John McCain choosing Palin as his running mate for the 2008 presidential election.
Farman may also be familiar to some from playing a young Rousseau—the one who was pregnant and full of hope—on Lost.
Speaking of which, Bristol was memorably pregnant when her mom ran for vice president of the United States, so there's an acting requirement Farman will be repeating in Game Change. Julianne Moore is already onboard as Sarah Palin and Ed Harris will play McCain. Cameras will start rolling next month in Maryland.

Vivian Zink/HBO
Who's ready for an Entourage movie?
Kevin Connolly seemed pretty confident back in September that the hit HBO show would get its own flick after the eighth and final season airs later this year.
But another one of the show's stars isn't so sure...

And you don't want or need that, now do you? No.
So, please, tell us how we can help you. What do you want to know about Dany, Jon Snow, Tyrion, et al?

Melissa Leo Lays Down the Jazzy Law in New Orleans
Treme packs a wallop with sheer acting power alone, not to mention the myriad plotlines coursing through the HBO drama about post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans.
"She knows this city is full of wrong ways and tries to find the right way to work with all its wrongs," Melissa Leo says in explaining her character, Toni Bernette, a civil rights attorney who's caught up in the search for a young man missing since the disaster hit. "She's clever and determined, and extraordinarily passionate, especially when it comes to her clients or musicians."
Check out Leo doing her thing, as Toni and as her fab Oscar-winning self, in this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the Treme first season, available on DVD and Blu-ray March 29.
