True Blood Vamp Kristin Bauer Is A Whale Warrior


SHe has to suck the blood of the vampire series True Blood for HBO-resistant pumps, but apart from Kristin Bauer to protect life - whales, especially with regard to their habitat. Celebrity gossip player taken with the close and deep Star Pulse Activism animals without spending a significant amount of time blog - Sea Shepherd and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), including their own thoughts. Here are some options:

Sharks of water to see this documentary and learn more about finning:

"It is very sad and ridiculous. I am almost 90 or more members of shark cut I think is really popular creatures for such a cigarette is difficult to control. We are afraid of sharks before, but we are responsible for breathing air are of water and oxygen creates the economic system. If sharks are in decline, and then, and the lack of water is a problem. "(no Razz:" I am the shark population by 90% - only decreased in 10%, meaning that I think there is no fin.)

To decide the issue - something even bigger, and it is difficult to change:

"I can do it easily, a good person and I think that defines who you are." S We are on the Titanic. Who says there will be: "Ah, screw." When more than one until the last second the ship was abandoned. I believe that life is hard and only have time to do research and who have problems. This is a major problem and source of food, which is a time to decide that a person does not know. OK, here is the lack of support, but good if you have not seen anything, but this is not compatible because they can not see, do not care. "

True Blood: Never Let Me Go



S02E05) "This is the man NOK already in my brain. You're on your own .." - Barry for Sookie, who said she could teach him to control his telepathy.

So ... Some of our favorite character from True Blood is a new cohort, as they are. Now we know that Daphne is a Shapeshifter, which is the cause of her and Sam to grow even more (and these two together is quite hot!). I am not sure to believe, but maybe she can help Sam feel better about their fate. It was apparently no problem with their capabilities, and hear him play sexy'd talk about how they feel before your departure.

And Sookie is telepathic mate, Barry as a boy, we'll see where that leads. In addition, he left work at the hotel, and is thus firmly Sookie warning: "Dallas VAMP serious and alarming than that ... If they knew that we could do, they suck us dry.. It seems to Dallas Vampire takes bad manners to another since Bon vamp. Eric, as a practical flexibility in relation to them.

Jessica continues to be funny ( "Hey, Sookie, dirty movies on TV!"). I loved the scene where she and the bill was "a guy in the command menu, and saw her to go drink the truth, instead of blood. When the storms, such as pornography to Adolescence can do after the fight with his mother and said: "You have to be injured when eating disorder. "She suggested that Hoyt, who lives with his mother and read comics. He and Jessica, two peas in the pod, in many respects.

I am happy that they have no chain on the mystery of Eric Godric and communication (and Alex took the last week). Not only do we have a large outbreak of Erik the use of fur and a shield in time of war, but Eric came out and said that the bill, it Godric Maker. And Sookie is nothing if not Noble, who held his word to Eric, despite the danger, and a bill of indecision can not protect itself when it entered the brotherhood of Church Sunday. I think he should go save all vampires enemies.

Jason and Sarah, sitting in a tree ... Well, we have seen, it is not we? Shun and her first husband Berater women in general. It appears in the room where Jason takes a shower, and remains in the "reward" to compare himself to Mary Magdalene, Jesus washes the feet. "After all the tests, and mental pain, God wants you to get the reward. Let me lead you, Jason. Let me help you find your way back to enjoy .." Some of these comments. Jason has every reason to be nervous system, especially after Steve put some artillery in the soil. Yikes.

But it is nice to see Jason get a "Rise and Shine of God." treatment in the light of sergeant .. Jason really leadership skills, have seen to help Luke through the fence. Maybe he will get up and go to church to Steve - and in bed, Sarah.

Ah, to Maryann. She continues to bug the hell of me, and I could see that Tara is really bogus Manead, which is outside the bar and cast a spell that all groups on the packaging. Tara then go and find a nice Maryann hear about how rough its day. Yes, thanks to Maryann. And with his mysterious "client" that the house she lived, and now the time for the country?

I'm not sure what you think of the egg. This is only a kind of "it" for me at this time. It will certainly Maryann magic or what it is, when he responded to questions of his relationship with Tara Maryann: "When I was ready to predict and to die, she get up, as it .."

True Blood's Christian Conservative Vampire-Hater Speaks Out




We interviewed True Blood's vigilant vampire hater, played by Michael McMillian, and learned a little more about the Fellowship Of The Sun's televangelist golden boy, who says he's a cross between George Bush and Bruce Wayne.

We got the chance to chat via email with actor Michael McMillain, and learn a lot more vampire-loathing character, Steve Newlin, who's really a complicated enigma, combining fanaticism with a sense of compassion. There's even a bit of a King Arthur sprinkled into the fold of this character's persona.

What do you think about your character Steve Newlin as a person? He appears to have it all put together, but there's got to be something looming underneath it all (as is the way with all things True Blood).

This is why Steve's a fascinating character to me. He is a living ideology. It's like trying to figure out who [George W.] Bush really was, in some ways. Like, did he really think he was a hero? Did he really think he was a great Christian? Steve repeatedly speaks in terms of black and white — this "with us or against us" terminology we were so accustomed to hearing over the past decade. Is it all just bullshit? It's almost archaic in this modern day and age. I talked to Alan Ball and the writers about where Steve is coming from, and we all agreed on the same thing: he is absolutely being true to himself. He believes everything he says. He's driven by what he was raised to believe in and his conviction that his father was murdered by agents of evil. In some way's he's like Bruce Wayne. He's setting out to ensure that what happened to his family won't happen to anyone else. And, I mean, he has a point. Look what happened to Jessica. That scene in the first season, when she was kidnapped and turned, was a nightmare. So I'm not sure how troubled he really is, beyond the fact he's troubled by the growing acceptance and tolerance of Vampires.

How did you prep for Steve? I see your hair changed from last season, who's decision was that (we love the new look by the way)?

I grew up in the Midwest and had a lot of exposure to big religion. I went to church every Sunday — my mother even sang in the choir – and most families I knew where practicing Christians. I came from a more moderate church, but even at one point I had a Sunday school teacher who preached that Halloween was Satanic. She was eventually asked to step-down, but my point is that my idyllic suburban upbringing had aspects that were extremely conservative and peripherally racist and somewhat violent. My sister went to high school where kids wore homemade T-Shirts that read "Fagbusters." This was in the 90's! My family saw people waving "Jesus hates fags" signs at the grocery store when I was back there a few weeks ago. On the 4th of July! Absolutely batshit… So on an immediate level, I related to this type of character.

Beyond that, I read the books. I wanted to be as faithful as possible to Charlaine Harris's original vision because he's just so scary in the novels. I also spent a lot of time watching documentaries about the religious right, sermons on YouTube, lots of TBN, Ted Haggard, etc. Just trying to immerse myself in the mindset of contemporary religion and also modern-day cults. If you think the Light of Day Camp is ridiculous, then I dare you to watch Jesus Camp. That movie kept me up at night. There's obviously some Bush inspiration there, I think mostly because of the daddy issues, rhetoric and both men being from Texas. The hair style design was a collaboration between Alan and our lead hair stylist, Kelly Kline. I had come in with all this research done, saw the new ‘do in the mirror and went, "Oh. That's who he is." It was like seeing Steve truly for the first time. And it just gets bigger as the season goes on.

Do you think, do you even know if the Pastor is as crazy as he seems to be, with all his innuendos and weird quips?

I don't really look at Steve as "crazy." I tried to look at him like he was the good guy. He's the hero of his story. He's the one who is going to set the world to rights. Now, obviously, we're getting into some "crazy-talk" territory right there, but mostly I tried to play him as true to himself as I could be. I really hope some people may actually like him. But watching it back on TV, yeah, it certainly is creepy. I guess they knew what they were doing when they cast me.

Were you as hilariously uncomfortable as the rest of us during the Christian sexy dance to "Jesus Asked Me Out Today"? How do you get through the insanely campy scenes, laced as they are with sexual innuendo?

That scene was an absolute blast to shoot. Brian Buckner, the writer for that episode, wrote the lyrics to that song. It was just hilarious. Anna Camp (Mrs. Sarah Newlin) and I danced on the sidelines in character and just embraced it. She and Ryan Kwanten (Jason Stackhouse) both have the best senses of humor. A lot of my favorite moments between the three of us just kind of happened on set. We had a couple moments of improv that made it in – my favorite being when Ryan turns to look out the window during the dinner scene in episode three to see the "war going on out there" — but we were always inspired by what the writers had given us. Not to mention contributions from hair, makeup and costumes. I mean, sometimes we just couldn't look at each other without laughing. Audrey Fisher, our costume designer, is a genius. So much of her work informed the performance.


Do you have your own ring of honesty? Do you wear it out from time to time?

The ironic thing is that Steve does not wear a ring of honesty. Make of that what you will.

The best part about True Blood is the multi-faceted world building with the Fellowship, the Vampire league, vampire airplanes etc. What's something about the Fellowship of the Sun that we haven't seen yet or didn't make the cut? Are there anti-vampire campfire singalongs or a make-your-own-stake craft hour? Also do you get the lyrics to any of these songs and can you share it with us?

As the season goes along, the layers of the Fellowship get peeled back one by one. We've just learned, that the camp is a recruiting tool for this new elite army, "The Soldiers of the Sun," and we'll see more of that and the agenda there in upcoming episodes. We see that these guys really aren't fucking around. We'll also get into the heart of the Church itself, and get introduced to at least one important ritual. It ain't pretty. Sadly, I think most of the singing has happened for the season. Or maybe that's a good thing?

What's been the most fun to shoot so far and why?

I can't tell you because it hasn't happened yet, but you'll know it when you see it. Beyond that, the day out on the ATV, shooting paintballs with Ryan Kwanten was a lot of fun. Paintballs really can bring two men closer together. What other show allows its actors to drive around and pretend to kill vampires? That BBQ scene was also a favorite. Anna Camp was a real trooper, dancing around for Jason's fantasy. Lesser actresses would shy away for fear of looking stupid, but Anna committed! She managed to look seductive while essentially having a clown moment. And it was completely unrehearsed. The show provides so much room to play, and really, everyday on set was a joy.

What's it like having a TV wife?

I guess having a TV wife is pretty awesome. I don't have one in real life. But when I do, I hope she makes good pudding.

Sure, Sarah is Steve's draft picker, but what's the plan once these boys are in? You've convinced Jason to stay and hang out with the guys a little more, and teach him how to shoot vamps, but what's next? There's no way that's the end of the rabbit hole.

Again, that's part of watching how the season plays out, spoilers-be-damned. Seriously — spoilers are bad for you, kids! I will say that Jason, to Steve, represents many things that Steve isn't. Alan Ball has a great quote on the commentary to the first season DVD where he says something to the effect of Jason being the kind of guy that every other dude in town hates. But I think for all those same reasons — his charm, his killer looks — Steve loves him. I mean, what a great example of intelligent design! I think Steve was probably a pretty lonely kid. There's a guy in there that is just clamoring for a real friend. And as much as a warrior he sees in Jason, I think he's just as excited that he's made a close bond. That scene with them and the paintballs… Steve's really having an adolescent moment there he probably never got. It's sad, really. Steve, as "crazy" as he is, may wind up being a somewhat tragic figure. It was pointed out to me after I finished shooting that there's a rich Arthur/Lancelot dynamic playing out between him and Jason. I couldn't believe I didn't see it at the time. That's exactly what it is.

I see Sarah, the character, has a twitter account (whether it's officially sponsored or not), and do you have one?

Hmm. I don't think I do. I'm not sure I should burst the bubble here or not, but the actors are not the same people behind the character Tweets and facebook pages. That's all part of the viral campaign. My cousin recently learned that lesson when she wrote a personal message to "Steve" on facebook thinking it was me, in which she referred to me as "Butt-Cheeks." I got a message from "Steve's" writer saying, "Hey you might want to let this person know…"

Have you (or the show) ever received pro-vampire hate mail, or on the other hand, positive anti-vampire mail? You know support from those out there looking to end the vampire infestation?

I wouldn't be surprised. We have such a fervent fan following, but I don't really know. I do know they get a lot of fan art on the True Blood Wiki page. But, where's the Steve love? It's all about that Eric. Come on, peeps. Let's see some Newlin fan art!

We have to ask, what's it like working with Ryan Kwanten? Is he anything like Jason?

Ryan's a total pro. He's more reserved than Jason, and a hundred times smarter. He brings something fresh to a scene every take and never says "No" to an idea. It's a refreshing quality in Hollywood where so many actors are worried about looking cool. I love that he's essentially a leading man type, but he scores some of the series' funnier comedic moments. I think it's a testimony to the creative casting that happens on the show. He could have easily ended up playing "The Guy" on a prime-time soap, and done a great job, but True Blood has really given him a chance to go beyond his obvious type. I think it's somewhat the same story with Anna Paquin. Nobody who was familiar with the books saw her as Sookie. But she kicks ass and it's now impossible to picture anyone else in the role. She really owns it.

Right now it seems as though the Pastor's focused on recruiting a few good men for killing a few bad vamps. Any plans for global domination?

But of course. Case in point: Sarah says the first episode of the season, Steve "could be governor of Texas one day" if he "plays his cards right." And you know what happens to governors of Texas, right? Of course, Steve wouldn't see it as "domination." He'd see it as "salvation." It's all there in the Book of Revelations. It's Steve vs. The Apocalypse!

And finally what do True Blood fans have to look forward with your character?

He's an excellent tour guide…

Celebrity Interviewer Knows More About True Blood Than She's Letting On



A tipster pointed out that the scriba of today's NY Post puff piece on Stephen Moyers failed to disclose that she and the True Blood star have a child together. How does our tipster Juicy get this info?

Because Lorien Haynes (pictured) was the subject of a Star article last week along the lines of "A Hollywood starlet Table My boyfriend!"

It was love at first, um, bite for Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer after the British hunk aced his audition True Blood opposite the Oscar winner in early 2007, but they kept their instant attraction a secret from everyone, including his girlfriend of seven years -- the mother of his young daughter, Lilac.

That September, Stephen told a British newspaper that his move from London to LA for the series had resulted in the end of his relationship with British journalist Lorien Haynes, saying: "Nobody has anybody left for anybody else." But those words ring hollow now that Stephen and Anna - who now live together - have admitted that sparks flew the moment they first met!

For what it's worth, Haynes also interviewed Paquin for the Daily Mail, which ran the story yesterday also without any disclaimer, and did not sound very jilted:

Sexual chemistry is arguably what has made True Blood such a success. Anna's Sookie falls for Bill Compton, a vampire whose thoughts she can not read, played by British actor Stephen Moyer (NY-Lon, Lilies, Quills). While filming the first series, Anna and Stephen developed a real-life relationship, which they tried to keep quiet. When they eventually went public it was, says Anna, 'the worst kept secret on the planet'.
