Alexander Skarsgård can't wait to start shooting the next season of True Blood.

"It's been like five or six months since I've seen most of them," Skarsgård, who plays vampire Eric on the hit HBO series, told me at the GQ Men of the Year party. "I miss the whole cast and crew. It's sort of my family away from my family in Sweden."

In the meantime, there is that other bloodsucking megahit phenomenon sweeping the world universe to keep everyone company. So, will Mr. Skarsgård be checking out New Moon?

"When does it open?" he said, smiling. "I'll get my sleeping bag and wait in line." (P.S.: Maybe Kate Bosworth will join him. The maybe-couple were quite adorable in their comfy coziness at the GQ party).

Now back to vampires, Skarsgård isn't the only one cracking jokes—at least we think he was joking—about camping out to see the return of Robert Pattinson & Co...

Southland cuteness Ben McKenzie said he hasn't gotten tickets…yet. He quipped, "Someone is in line holding my place and camping out for me."

Inglourious Basterds star Eli Roth said he may see New Moon someday. "I think there are some tickets available in January," he said. "I'm making my reservations now."

Rapper and now NCIS: Los Angeles star LL Cool J says he's too, well, old for the Twilight hysteria. "I think the kids are more into it than I am," he said at US Weekly's Hot Hollywood party. "I'm not, like, walking around hoping to get bit on the neck."

Unlike Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz. "I love the Twilight series," she said. "I haven't read the books yet, but I did see the movie and I went to the [New Moon] premiere. It's just incredible."

Karina Smirnoff hopes to kick off her Dancing With the Stars shoes sometime soon and watch Twilight before skipping ahead to New Moon. "It's on my list of things to do before Christmas," she said. "They all are mad hot. They're ripped. They're young. And they're sexy."

Neil Patrick Harris also has some catching up to do.

"I haven't even read the books yet," the How I Met Your Mother star said when asked if he has secured a New Moon ticket. "I should start. Apparently it's a big thing. But I just joined Twitter yesterday, and I still haven't read the last Harry Potter book, either. I'm behind on the curve."
