True Blood Star Camping Out for New Moon Tix?!
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...
What Do You Call a Really Horny Vampire?
Let's face it: Vampires, in general, are a pretty salacious bunch. But we've basically got two kinds lurking around, right?
There's the more noble and chiseled variety, as in Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen. But on the other fang, you've got flesh-chomping sex-crawlers Nikki Reed and Alexander Skarsgård. On-camera, too, for that matter!
Which begs, just begs, the need for a new addition to our fab Celeb Addictionary! Certainly for castmembers of the myriad Vamp shows and movies who can't necessarily be trusted with humans' throats once the day's shooting is done.
Want to hear what we think they should be called?
Vamp-Tramp, of course!
Exact definition: (noun) one who plays a vampire on camera, but whose off-camera neck-thirsty antics pale by comparison.
Can you top that? Then slap your saucy words into the Addictionary widget below.
Oh, and by the way, I suppose you could talk us into putting R.Pattz and Kristen Stewart into this definition, but we'd probably have to be drinking the same thing as Lindsay Lohan to agree to it. After all, Robsten's all about subtlety, which Skarsgård and Reed seem to run from like Dracula flees from garlic bread.
Twilight, True Blood, Taylor Swift Suck Up People's Choice Nominations
The People's Choice Awards are getting ready to throw a vampire party of their own.
In a surprise to no one, least of all millions of screaming fanggirls, Twilight leads the list of honorees for the 36th Annual PCAs, scoring six nominations, including Favorite Movie (a shoo-in if ever there was one) as well as individual nods for Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

Vampire Wars (With Bonus Twilight Round): Who's the Best Good Vampire?
Welcome to the climactic final battle of Vampire Wars! We've been pitting three structurally similar vampire-tastic TV series against each other, and now it's time to decide which show has the sexiest vampire with a heart of gold. These guys are built to kill and eat nubile young things, but in each case, a chance encounter with a very special nubile young thing causes them to instantaneously mate for life and get all heroic, violating a bunch of standard protocols of vampire-dom.
Your choices this round are David Boreanaz's Angel from Buffy and Angel, Paul Wesley's Stefan Salvatore from the breakout CW hit Vampire Diaries, and Stephen Moyer's Bill Compton from HBO's supernatural party bus True Blood.
Then, since the "good vampire" industry has been dominated of late by a certain Edward Cullen from the Twilight saga, we're offering you a bonus round, where you can decide between those first three and your boo Edward. (Plus, inspired by on a fan suggestion, we even set up a nonofficial do-over of the Best Heroine round that includes Bella Swan. We're expecting an epic Buffy-Bella throwdown in that category!)
You'll be able to cast your votes throughout Halloween weekend. If you didn't already cast your ballot for Best Heroine, Best Evil (Yet Hot) Vampire, Best Best Friend and Best Xander/Wayward Little Brother, what are you waiting for? We'll declare the final winner of Vampire Wars on Monday in the spoiler chat. (Hint: Things are looking good for a certain Slayer, so True Blood and Vampire Diaries fans need to step it up if they want a chance at winning!)
This Week in Vampires: Underpattz and Hitler!
Only 19 days until The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens—squeeeee!—and the undead are getting restless. And they're totally cashing in.
Vampire activity has been off the charts this week: Did you see what they did to poor Robert Pattinson's face, and how Hitler, Stephen King and some British guys are involved?
Here's the very latest vampire news, in case you missed it:
Exclusive
True Blood: Make Way for More Lesbian Vampires!
Move over, Queen Sophie-Ann!
There may be more lesbian vampires coming to True Blood.
Series creator Alan Ball recently told the Advocate magazine that he could imagine Eric's toughass sidekick, Pam, getting in on some girl-on-girl action.
And now Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam, tells us she's up for it…
Exclusive
Attention, True Blood Fans: You'll Get Your Werewolves After All
Crisis averted. After we fans got our first glimpse at True Blood season three earlier this week, there was widespread concern that werewolf Alcide Herveaux, a major fan fave character from the third book, would not be part of season three. Well, we caught up with True Blood boss Alan Ball last night, and he assures us that Alcide is present and accounted for in season three. (Woo!)
Alan tells us that not only does Alcide appear, but that he's bringing his backstory from the books with him: "Alcide Herveaux is going to be on TV. We haven't cast him yet, but I believe he appears first in the third episode. Alcide is already in love with someone, a very bad woman named Debbie Pelt. But will he fall in love with some else? It's too soon to say."
We learned a great deal more last night at the fantastic True Blood writers' event hosted by the Paley Center. Among other things, there was a promise from Ball that one of your fan-fave actors won't be marginalized on the TV series (even if Charlaine Harris does have it in for his character in the books), and crucial info about where/when/how you can next see Alexander Skarsgård nekkid. Here's what we learned about this very, very important question:
Hot Pics: Meet the Vampire Party All-Stars!
Let's get one thing straight: There's more than one smoking-hot, self-loathing vampire with mussy hair and sad eyes in this town.
No, really, there is!
Also, looks like quite a few brooding, bad-guy bloodsucker types who aren't really that bad after all. And a whole lot of tough girls—most of them in high school—lining up to offer their blood, love or a stake to the heart.
Hey, there're even a few lady vampires.
So as we launch E! Online's new Vampire Party! blog—totally dedicated to Hollywood's fave undead from the Twilight universe, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and beyond—it's time for a tour of the big players.
We've collected the deadest and sexiest stars from the soulless class, and those who love and slay them, in our Vampire Party All-Stars gallery. Get it.

Vampire Wars Doubleheader: BFFs and Little Bros
Every center-of-the-universe TV heroine needs a great best friend to keep her grounded, and the leading ladies of our three vampire shows are no exceptions. For that matter, these girls (don't call them sidekicks!) bring their own mojo to the party. Buffy's BFF Willow (Alyson Hannigan) on Buffy the Vampire Slayer turned out to be pretty much the most powerful witch evar, Elena's best friend Bonnie (Katerina Graham) on The Vampire Diaries has second sight, and Sookie's beloved Tara (Rutina Wesley) on True Blood is so saucy and snarky, it's almost a superpower. But which bestie is best? That's what we have Vampire Wars for, silly! So you can tell us!
And in today's Vampire Wars doubleheader, we're also asking you to choose the most essential helpless mortal young'un.
Jump inside to tell us which Zeppo you prefer: Sookie's libido-driven ditzy sibling, Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten), Elena's drug-addled baby bro, Jeremy Gilbert (Steven R. McQueen) or simultaneously valiant and cowardly Sunnydale native Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon)—Xander's not technically a little brother, but he sure does give off that vibe, doesn't he?
What Kind of Monster Kidnapped Bill Compton on True Blood?
True Blood is back! Er, wait, that's not right.
OK, let's try this again: In just nine or 10 short months, True Blood returns to HBO for season three, but to tide us over during the looong wait, we've got our hands on a leaked casting call that offers a sneak peek of things to come. (Preproduction is already underway on the new episodes and filming is set to begin in early December.)
Where's Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) been taken? Are there any familiar faces from the books in episode one of season three? And who's the new girl banging Eric (Alexander Skarsgård)? Here's what we can tell you...
