Vampire Party!

Will Alex Skarsgård's Real Dad Play Eric's Viking Dad on True Blood?
Who's your daddy? That's the question True Blood fans are asking about Alexander Skarsgård's Viking vampire this season, as the series plans flashbacks to medieval Scandinavia that explore Eric Northman's origins and roots. Having already introduced (and dispatched with) Eric's vampire progenitor, Godric (Allan Hyde), the series is now casting for Eric's human father, King Ulfrick.
Considering that the role calls for a fluent Swedish speaker who looks like he could be Alexander Skarsgård's father, the part just has to go to Alex's real-life dad, internationally acclaimed actor Stellan Skarsgård, right? Here's what we're hearing:
Kristen Stewart Jury Duty Pic Triggers Mini Scandal
Kristen Stewart was just trying to do her civic duty. Too bad it's put two men into some real doodie.
The Twilight starlet (and reigning Vanity Fair covergirl) appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week to serve jury duty. Apparently, one of the security guards was a Twi-hard and asked K.Stew to pose for a quick camera-phone photo. Obviously, she was in the giving mood, she obliged.
However, it appears that perhaps K.Stew shouldn't have been so generous. The guard's pal (who was also there) then allowed his wife to post the picture on the Internet...and now the two men could lose their jobs because of it.
New Moon Wolf Packer Blasts Taylor Lautner, Valentine's Day
He's not a member of a wolf pack for nothing.
Alex Meraz's Twitter teeth are sharp and he's out for blood…namely, his costar Taylor Lautner's blood.
See, Alex (the packer on the far left of the photo) doesn't think too highly of our favorite 17-year-old's upcoming movie Valentine's Day, which also stars that other Taylor, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Ashton Kutcher, Patrick Dempsey, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper and a whole bunch of other Hollywood bigs.
"Sorry Taylor but the movie Valentine's Day looks lame and desperate," the New Moon star writes. "It cries out, 'look we have all the biggest starz in 1 movie pleez watch!' "
Sound like sour grapes? Read on!
Breaking Dawn Still Stalled?
"Yes, I've heard they're still considering a fall start date, which is insane. They still haven't decided on how many movies it will be yet. It could go either way at this point."
—Deep Twi, giving us the latest Breaking Dawn update...or nonupdate, for that matter
We'll cool it with the Robert Pattinson-Kristen Stewart love stuff (if only for a sec) and fill you in on what else we've learned 'bout what's going to happen with the fourth (and fifth?) flick:
Rob and Kristen: On a Break?
OK, Robsten lovers. We know it's been a long wait, and we need you all to be strong.
There's good news and bad news concerning our fave Twi couple, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
Good news: They're still hot for each other.
The bad news? Well...
Style Showdown: Twilight vs. True Blood
Hunks Kellan Lutz and Ryan Kwanten, stars of the hottest of the hot vamp franchises, both went to an L.A. Arts Month party last night in Calvin Klein Collection suits, and you know what that means: vampire battle! Yay!
The Twilight Saga's fun-loving beefcake vampire Emmett Cullen goes casual cool, wearing a black button-up under his gray suit and some funky, J.T.-style curly hair on top.
On the other side of the red carpet is Ryan, True Blood's womanizing Jason Stackhouse. Dude's got the same two-piece on, only he went more traditional with a light shirt and tie.
Which suited-up star would you rather sink your teeth into?

Forget Pattz—Sam Worthington Wants to Suck Your Blood
There's only one career move worthy of the man who just finished starring in the biggest movie of all time: make like Robert Pattinson, and quick.
Aussie Avatar hunk Sam Worthington is following in the bloodsucking, fang-toothed, though not-nearly-as-sparkly footsteps of one Edward Cullen, and signing on to star in an epic period remake of Dracula.
Per the trades, Dracula Year Zero will tell the origin story of the O.G. bloodsucker and will mix mythology (la, la, la, they're real) with the true, vampire-inspiring tale of Price Vlad the Impaler.
Of course, while the Transylvania-set tale will be heavier on the horror than its Forks-based brethren, like any good vamp romp, it will include a love story. Team Drac, anyone?

Robert Pattinson Gets Bearded
Summit and everyone had better figure out this Breaking Dawn dramz (or nondrama?) soon because this is what happens to Robert Pattinson when he's not in sparkle vampire mode.
R.Pattz has decided to grow his face hair. On the one hand, we're surprised his smooth, porcelain skin can even grow that much hair. So, well done!
But on the other, we'll be glad when it's gone since it kinda makes him look like a bum. But maybe that's what some of you are into, which is fine. No judgments!

Bryce Dallas Howard: Torn Between Edward & Jacob
Twilight's freshman vampire Bryce Dallas Howard plays for both teams.
Howard, who replaced Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria in Eclipse, insists she can't decide if she's Team Edward or Team Jacob...
Who Has the Hotter Werewolves, True Blood or Twilight?
It might be time for another Vampire Wars throwdown. Werewolves are coming to HBO's True Blood this season, and according to Nelsan Ellis, who plays fan favorite Lafayette, Blood's werewolves compare quite favorably to Twilight werewolves like Taylor Lautner. He tells us, "I like Taylor, but our werewolves have a little more gravitas, they're edgier-looking, and they're just much meaner. They're vicious." And apparently True Blood's wolf pack, led by Joe Manganiello's Alcide, is not too hard on the eyes, either. Nelsan says, "They are some good-lookin' chaps! All the eyes on the set turn to the werewolves. They're like the GQ bastards."
Want more True Blood season three news? Here's the scoop from Nelsan (you know you love him) about Lafayette's new boyfriend, played by Kevin Alejandro, his crazy mother, played by Alfre Woodard, and his plans for Angelina Jolie if she were a True Blood castmember:
Battle of the Biceps: Kellan Lutz vs. Jason Momoa
It's official. Stargate Atlantis trumps Twilight.
Fanboy fave Jason Momoa landed the title role in the Conan the Barbarian reboot over Twi-harder Kellan Lutz. Apparently, the filmmakers thought Lisa Bonet's baby daddy would have a bit more box-office muscle than AnnaLynne McCord's sometimes paramour. But that doesn't mean we have to like it.
In case you forgot, Arnold Schwarzenegger originated the role of the savage warrior in the 1982 comic book-based film. The new version begins shooting in mid-March in Bulgaria.
But don't worry too much about Kellan! He has those Calvin Klein underwear ads coming out next month and a little movie (or two) called Breaking Dawn to shoot starting later this year.
