JOE MANGANIELLO PROMISES TO SEAL THE DEAL WITH SOOKIE
Joe Manganiello, who plays nice-guy werewolf Alcide Hervieux on True Blood, faced the daunting prospect of bringing to the screen a character already beloved by fans of Charlaine Harris’s Southern Vampire Mysteries novels.
Viewers haven’t yet seen much of the romance between Anna Paquin’s Sookie Stackhouse and Manganiello’s Alcide, which takes up much of the third book, Club Dead. But, as Manganiello tells us, more is on the way.
Mike Ryan: In the third book, Alcide and Sookie’s romantic relationship seems more advanced than it does in the series.
Joe Manganiello: Well, the way that it’s been depicted so far in the series is almost exactly in line with the way that the book is. Alcide is in all of the books from the third one on, so the relationship builds from there.

SAM TRAMMEL ON LENO
True Blood‘s Sam Trammell was the second guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tuesday, following Betty White. After Leno showed a clip of Trammell’s shapeshifter Sam transforming from a dog into his naked human form, White cracked, “Oh, I wish I had a dog that could do that.”Trammell apologized to White that she had to see that. “Oh, I loved it,” she said.
Trammell then went on to describe the experience of having body makeup applied for those nude scenes. The makeup artist comes to his trailer for privacy, and he focuses on the surf videos he has playing to avoid thinking about the fact that a beautiful woman is rubbing his body. I’m calling it now: True Blood makeup artist — best job in Hollywood. Watch Trammell’s two-part interview (which also includes him recounting the comedy of having to kiss a good male friend in a play — well done, Tonight Show pre-interviewer).

TRUE BLOOD RATINGS HIT AN ALL TIME HIGH
The vampires on True Blood aren’t getting any warmer, but the ratings for HBO’s supernatural soap have boiled over. True Blood hit a season high this weekend achieving 5.2 million warm blooded viewers. Ironically, as Sookie clung to life in a coma, True Blood also went on to dominate the 18-49 year old demo for the night most coveted by advertisers – a hoot since HBO does not sell advertising during the program.
Various outlets have reported that it was Jersey Shore that actually won the most individual ‘sectors’, but the faux tanned ‘reality’ program was neck and neck with True Blood in total viewers, despite an availability advantage that arguably gives True Blood a win after handicapping.
