But you're welcome to come back here as often as you'd like and look up past posts (see BLOG ARCHIVE on right hand side).

Eric and I are grabbing our jackets and crossing the Pacific.
There may be a surprise AHTN update on location from Australia. Maybe. :)

TB 3x05: The Best of Franklin Mott

2010-07-20T11:26:00.016-05:00

Just because I love me some adorably-crazy, here's some Franklin & Tara:

"I know it's not so good to be all matchy-matchy but you..,and your dusky little blood beast are totally at odds with my decor." Talbot is such an asset to this show. :)

"Psycho-fucking-fuck!" and then the fang-off. I Love it!!
Did you see how yummy Talbot looks in those jeans. Yum.

"They wouldn't let me have a turn!" Silly old Buloxi ladies!

"Hookah. Hoo-kah!"
"I feel like I've been staked!" *snort*
Franklin, you're such a crazy-obsessed drama queen.
Nice touch with the dripping blood tears!

". . .I can't eat day lilies!"
Day Lilies for dinner. Ha.
Talbot, so love him! lol

TB 3x05: "Trouble" Eric at Russell's Estate

2010-07-20T10:05:00.013-05:00

Sorry about the lack of updates.
RL has been a bitch.

I've only seen this epi once. I know that sucks, doesn't it?
But I thought it went ok. Still too little Eric but at least the plot is unraveling..
Is it so wrong that I want Eric & Talbot to get it on?? *lix lips*
Imagine the gorgeously decorated boudoir that Talbot would have ready?

Ah. Eric in a wig again. Not bad for a flashback. He's even groping the help. LOL

Oh I like me that tiara, er I mean crown. Nice!
Hate the bad accent. Love the refs to the Vikings.

Btw, I am so loving Franklin Mott. He's adorably crazy!

TB 3x04: "Let's Go, RuPaul!"

2010-07-13T16:31:00.011-05:00

Since we do all things Eric here, it's naturally time for some fabulous Lafayette:

Enter Eric @1:11.
Big Daddy has come to save the night.
Laf's little smile at the end is cute. :)

TB 3x04: Eric's Dream (and post-dream) [video]

2010-07-12T08:28:00.019-05:00

I'll smell (read: suck, nibble, bite) Eric's 'mammaries' anytime.

Why do I says this, you ask? Mr EGP made me LOL when he mentioned that it sounded like Sookie said, "I can smell your mammaries!"
Bwah ha ha ha ha.

Oh yeah. Eric at the end of the dream.
*lix scrumptious Viking face*
Um. Oh joy--stuck betwixt all the snotty tissues. lol

Speaking of funky fluids, how about Eric's ho'ey snackster?

Poor Yvetta. She's seen better days. When did she start looking like a drag-queen? That's hard living (click on Yv's pasty face).
See that face. That's what I'd look like too, if I was going to miss 6hr sex-marathoning with the Viking, LOL True.

Have more screencaps that I will add soon. Darn Mainstreaming.

*dreaming about Eric at my window*

TB 3x04: "Crimes" (Recap)

2010-07-11T21:05:00.051-05:00

OK. First reaction.
So NOT what I was expecting. I have a major problem with Sookie's shenanigans. Sorry to say it, but she was a pathetic, whiny B-tch. Yup. I said it. You thought it.

I nearly gagged with the "sad" faces. It even repulsed Alcide enough to put his shirt back on and THAT is a gigantic No-No!

HELLO.

Highlight: Shirtless Alcide, the bearer of t.p.

Highlight: "I Don't Have a Nut-sack." *snort*

And for the love of white Belgian chocolate. . .

Yet, another dream? And a short one at that.

Alan Ball. WTF?

-------

*sigh* Back to the epi.

At the risk of sounding slightly sadistic (sorry Bill fans), I may be in the minority, but I did so like the "It's not you, it's me (and you)" speech Bill gave Sooks. Nice delivery! What a way to break up with a girl. Bill should teach a class in this: Wanker 101.
What a cad.

And even though many will counter that he did it to spare Sookie, it cannot be argued that Bill is finally getting in touch with his wild vamp side. It's about time too. Emo Bill is just not fun to watch. Btw, I think Lorena is cool. *ducks* She's so effing twisted with that psycho-bitch face: "Oh William!" I looove it! LOL

Highlight: "We fucked like only two vampires can."

Well, damn. I need to get that on a t-shirt!

- - - - -

V-dealing in HotShot:

Enter Eric @1:11.
Loved Eric showing up in HotShot to assist "RuPaul!"
Pure Win. :)

--------

Pam. OMG. Where to start?

My inner-gay boy, detests the pasty makeup on our beloved Pam. What is she, the Joker? Seriously.

Harsh makeup aside, Pammy being burned by that decrepit, old, Magister is SO not cool. Die Magister! DIE (permanently)!

Highlight: "It was Bill Compton!"

Ha! Big Kudos to Pam for replying that the V-selling was due to Bill! I so heart Pam. Even being burned, she can come up with something fabulous to say. Poor Eric. He loves her so.

---------

Highlight: Sookie's outfit at Lou Pines
Sookie's biker look was hot. She looked reminiscent of
Siouxie Sioux, circa 1988 "Peek-A-Boo" meets biker babe chic.

So I guess Sookie does redeem herself a bit. A very little bit.
I'll give her points too for being in the dream sequence and making the Viking happy.

But geesh. When did she turn all desperate & cry-me-a-river like Bella Swan? I was left traumatized by the whole crying faces ordeal. Not Kidding.

Sorry peeps. This was a "Sookie is on my shit-list" epi for me.
In Brief: Not enough Eric, too much white trash run amok, Sookie's lack of fortitude. . . Oh and the Weres were all shifting? Umm. What? Is it a full moon or something? Who goes to a Were-bar on a full moon?? Seriously Sookie. I so want to slap you. Over and Over. And when
I think of those pathetic, crying faces, I want Pam to run over your face with her steal-toe Blahniks (figuratively)...

Now I don't normally condone violence on women, but sometimes Sookie needs a sista to wake her up out of her stupor. Pleeease. I don't think I can take any more of the those horrid faces. She needs to pick up her big-girl panties and march forward and onward.
Really, is that so much to ask?

*takes a deep breath*

Eric. He did look SEXY! Yummy Yum Yums!!

Ok. So the episode wasn't SO terrible. . .
just not what I was looking forward to.

[i09] TB 3x03 Review: "True Blood's Vampire Sex Scene That Will Live On In Infamy" or "Raise Your Hand if Your Rug Gets Wet!"

2010-06-29T03:53:00.023-05:00

"Well, Hello Sweetheart!"

Excerpt from i09:

Con: What are the noises that Eric is making after he inhaled that werewolf? Vampire hairball?

[Stuff it i09. I thought the grunts were uber-sexy!! It's Eric after all!]

Pro: "I got your rug all wet," says Eric to Sookie with a marvelous shit-eating grin. And for some reason Sookie isn't having sex with him right there on top of the naked, dead, waxed werewolf. Something is wrong with her, beyond the light-fingers thing.

Umm. Not smart. Not smart at all. Wake Up, Girl!

"I got your rug all wet." --Eric (post-were-chompin')

*wipes lips* Oh Eric, honey.

This rug has been dripping since the beginning--episode 4 (season 1), "Escape From Dragon House," to be exact. Get it wet all you want!

Raise your hand if your rug gets wet watching Eric! *grin*

Simmer down, darlings!

We are getting some Eric/Sookie nookie soon!

TB 3x03: It Hurts Me Too

2010-06-28T02:33:00.010-05:00

Hey peeps!
Episode 3 needed more Eric and less Bill.
Just sayin'.

I wanted more of this...

Here is the re-cap of 3x03: It Hurts Me Too

Will write more Monday. . .I am feeling rather conflicted about the show vs. Club Dead, the book. One word--LEIF. *sad panda*

UPDATE: I'm trying to concentrate on the Eric/Sookie goodness, because truthfully, I am not happy with the Were bar happenings...unless Eric/Leif appears to save the day. Alcide should not have all the fun! Just sayin'.

[i09] TB 3x01 Review: "Conscience Off, Dick On: True Blood's Back, Bitches"

2010-06-25T04:14:00.018-05:00

So I wasn't planning on putting up any reviews this season (RL is so in the way)...but then I changed my mind when I saw these witty little reviews over at i09 by Meredith Woerner.
Judge for yourself...

(click on Yvetta's heart pasties for full review)

Pro: Turns out Vampire Bill is not there, but you know who is? Vampire Eric and his Big Vampire Penis, or something. Sorry what else did they want us to think with this ridiculous sex lair scenario.
Plus, um can you imagine when he turned around?
Goodness, True Blood.

Pro: So yada yada. Vampire Eric has vampire sex with his vampire penis for over 6 hours! That's a lot for vampires right? I dunno I have nothing to compare it to. I do know that it sounds a lot better than having gross UTI-causing dirt sex with Vampire Bill.

Plus one for Vampire Eric in season 4.

Pro: And finally the over-the-boob ass shot. Well done everyone.

Yay! Tomorrow I will add the review for epi 2!

Thanks to KCP at the TB LTAE Wiki for the head's up!

[EW] HBO Renews True Blood for Season 4!!!!

2010-06-21T14:48:00.006-05:00

YES. MORE ERIC!!
Can you say, "Shower Scene!"

No surprise here: HBO has renewed True Blood for a fourth season, to debut in summer 2011.

The news comes just one week after the hit vampire saga kicked off its third season to near-record ratings .

“The new season of True Blood is off to a terrific start, as enthusiasm for this unique show continues to build among both subscribers and critics,” enthused HBO president Michael Lombardo in a statement. “We’re looking forward to more chills from Alan Ball and his gifted team next year.”

Added exec producer Alan Ball: “I am beyond thrilled to be able to continue working with this amazing cast and crew. This is the most fun I have ever had.”

A few sleepless nights afterwards, and I've finally finished "Dead in the Family!"
OMG. I really really enjoyed it. :)
It was sweet, sexy and funny. Yup. Funny!
I can't remember the last time I read one of CH's books where I was snorting throughout the entire book. lol

I don't want to disclose any spoilers for now, as I know not everyone has read it yet.
However, for us ERIC fans, there is quite a bit to look forward to. *wink*
I was at B&N one day and someone commented that I had a sneaky smile whilst reading this book. lol What can I say?
A heaping new dose of Eric will do that to you!

I'd recommend buying this book now, especially for $9.99!

excerpt:
In terms of values, your characters are fairly progressive.
Most of my vampires have experimented with other sexualities. Eric, Sookie’s lover, was turned into a vampire by a male vampire who had a sexual relationship with him for many years. Pam is bisexual. Lafayette is gay.

Ok. Can I say how much it thrills me to read Charlaine's words: "Eric, Sookie's Lover. . ."!!
*giggles*

I can't wait till May 4th for the release of Dead in the Family!
If you haven't bought it yet, it's on sale for $9.99 hardback at Amazon.

True Blood Season 3 Poster: This Fangs For You

Alex Skarsgård as He-Man??

2010-04-16T15:24:00.007-05:00

OMG. Can you imagine a beefed-up AS in the He-Man outfit? *dies*

(Click on Alex's sexy throat for the full article)

WANTED: The most powerful man in the universe. Should be muscular. Blond hair a plus. Needs to be skilled in the Secrets of Grayskull and immune to evil forces of Skeletor. Long hours, good pay. Some near-nudity required.

That, at least, is how one might imagine the casting call for the role of He-Man in the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie, based on the successful Mattel toy line – launched in 1982 – and already the inspiration for the 1987 feature Masters of the Universe, which starred a muscular, blond and nearly naked Dolph Lundgren as Eternia's greatest warrior and Skeletor's archenemy.

The proposed 2011 version is to be directed by John Stevenson, who co-directed Kung-Fu Panda and whose credits also include the Shrek movies. But still up for grabs: the leading role of He-Man.

• Alexander Skarsgard, 33. This Stockholm native (and former anti-terrorist Swedish marine) is already a master of the universe: he directs. Last year he appeared in Lady Gaga's music video Paparazzi. But fans of HBO's True Blood know him best as Eric Northman, the vampire sheriff so sexy that hardly anyone can resist his fangs. Imagine what he can do wielding a sword.

Again. OMG!
Can you imagine a beefed-up AS in the He-Man outfit? *dies*

*makes note to search out the '87 He-Man film, featuring Swede, Dolph Lungren (in his prime, no-less!)*

So I revisited some vintage screen He-Man. . .

WARNING: Mullet Alert!

*screams like a fan-girl*
These could be AS's pecs!

In this interview, AS talks about his daily routine, The Cohen Brothers, what he would do for 10 million dollars and how Eric would be the Viking King that would rule the halls of high school!
Here is an excerpt:
What is a typical day in your life like?
"I get up, drink my tea, read "DN" (Swedish newspaper) on the net, go to work, come home, have dinner and go over next day scenes."

I ran into an American exchange student a few months ago and he told me he had two wishes in his life. One was that he would find his dream woman and the other was that Eric the Viking King would get his own series. Would you Would you consider doing a spin-off if it was offered to you?
-I think Eric the Viking King would be a brillaint[sic] sitcom. Probably set in a high school environment. Kind of like an updated version of Fresh Prince.

For a 10 million paycheck you would do the part of? Myself.

HBO Promo: True Blood Season 3 SPOILER

2010-03-14T13:52:00.008-05:00

So because I love all things Eric (why else would I have a name like Eric's Gracious Plenty?), I have cropped the Eric bits for y'all. Enjoy!

[Btw, look at the Sookie pic. Doesn't that look like Pam behind her. And that's the basement at Fangtasia if i'm not mistaken. Eric feeding possibly?]

Eric back in black. WOOT!
Anyone else notice the stripper pole in front of Eric's throne? I think it might've been Pam's idea to cheer up Eric. lol

Oh YUM. Look at that face. *purrs*
So far, the makeup is looking good.
He's shirtless. I wonder if this is one of the nudie scenes? Hmm. Cannot be certain, but this might be at a window and the background seems to be outdoors. Dream? Real? Can't wait!

*breathes: E R I C *
YUM to the most ultimate power.

Thank you to True Blood's Nest for the screencaps.

Heard some news that HBO is planning on doing some mini-episodes of True Blood to promote Season 3. I can only hope that is indeed true and that we get some ERIC very soon!!
I'll keep y'all posted!

Aww. Look at him. He looks so adorable laughing. :)

Seems that hanging out with Swedish friends really agrees with him. I think the blonde with the scarf in the back is his co-star in Hundtricket.

Can I just say that I think that is the most adorable little doggie ever in a pic with our favorite Swede. Look at that cutie's face! Alex is walking kinda funny here. Maybe he's trying not to squish the poor pooch or something. LOL

OH. That eyebrow.
That is a very ERIC look to give. :)

2010-02-28T21:10:00.006-06:00

(click on Eric for interview link)

Does Eric have genuine feelings for Sookie? Or is he doing it to get at Bill?
“He’s intrigued by her, for sure. When he meets her for the first time, he knows there’s something different about her and that intrigues him. He doesn’t care too much for humans in general – he thinks they’re pathetic – but when he meets her, there’s something about her. He can’t put his finger on it, but he’s curious for sure.”

It’s not just a case of forbidden fruit?
“No – he’s curious and he’s not gonna let Bill stop him because Bill’s just this little kid!”

Could Eric crush him in a fight?
“Bill? Oh yeah! Without a doubt.”

Sookie aside, is there anyone else in the show at the moment that Eric would be a good match for?
“I don’t know, man. He’s already got his Pam – even though that’s not a sexual thing, he’s got his partner. For sexual attraction, it’s all about Sookie.”

How far into the third season will we see them acting on the attraction?
“I don’t know – we start filming next month and I haven’t seen the script yet! I don’t know what’s gonna happen. But it’s building up…”

Alan Ball has hinted that the Queen of Louisiana will get her comeuppance this season. Will Eric have anything to do with that?
“They have this little business on the side so they’ll definitely interact more I’m sure. Maybe they’ll get punished for that – I don’t know. I know less than all the fans on the blogs! I try to stay away from the fan sites because it’s not good for me to read that stuff – it’ll just freak me out!”

Werewolves will be arriving soon. Should the vampires of Bon Temps be afraid?
“No, I don’t think Eric will be very afraid.”

We’ve seen you naked a fair few times throughout the series. How is it filming those kinds of scenes?
“It doesn’t really bother me that much. I’ve been naked in movies before so I don’t really care about it. I grew up in Sweden so it’s not a big issue.”

Where would you like to see Eric end up by the season three finale?
“I just trust Alan and the writers – they’re doing such a great job. I don’t know where I want him to go. When reading the scripts, I wanna continue to be surprised and discover different sides of Eric. Hopefully we’ll get to know him a little better.”

How long do you see the series running for?
“I don’t know – 45 years?! I’m having a blast, so hopefully we’ll get to do it for a while. I love this show and my character.”

True Blood’s third season is set to debut in June 2010.

[E] True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård More Naked Than Ever

2010-01-25T14:30:00.003-06:00

*giggles*

Here's a lovely way to start off the week:

We're told we can expect much more nudity during season three of the hit HBO vampire series, which began filming again last month.

"A lot of people will be getting naked this season," T.B.'s Todd Lowe (aka Terry Bellefleur) told us at the 16th Annual SAG Awards Saturday night.

In fact, according to castmate Carrie Preston, baring it all is especially a cinch for hunky 33-year-old Swede Alexander Skarsgård...

"Alex is not shy about getting naked at all!" said Preston, who plays Arlene Fowler. "And there will be lots of those kinds of scenes with Alex this season."

Lowe said, "He's already been naked a time or two so far since we've gotten back to filming."

Season 3 SPOILERS: Eric Northman & the Vamps

2010-01-25T08:03:00.007-06:00

OK kiddies. Closing up some tabs now. . .

Alexander Skarsgård has revealed that his character is out for revenge in True Blood's third season.

The 33-year-old actor, who plays vampire Eric Northman on the HBO series, told Entertainment Weekly that the third run will also see his alter ego become more and more intrigued by Anna Paquin's Sookie Stackhouse.

"He will continue to explore the whole Sookie thing and what that's all about," he said. "He's trying to figure out what’s different about her. He's intrigued by that.

"And in addition to that, there's something that happened a thousand years ago that he's still carrying in his heart. All I'll say is he's trying to avenge someone." SOURCE

More Spoilers. . . .

Alan Ball has revealed that there will be three evil newcomers on True Blood.

Ball, who serves as executive producer on the vampire-based series, told Entertainment Weekly that the latest additions are "bad to the bone".

"We have a triumvirate of evil this season," he teased. "I'm talking about Franklin Mott, Russell Edgington, and Debbie Pelt. They are all bad to the bone. They're not just crazy, they're evil."

Russell Edgington, the vampire king of Mississippi, will be played by Denis O'Hare, while James Frain has been cast as Franklin Mott, the vampire boyfriend of Rutina Wesley's Tara. The role of Debbie is yet to be cast.

Ball added of Debbie: "We actually beefed up Debbie. She's going to be in more episodes, so maybe that will have an impact on [what actress] we can get for her, which is a big question right now." SOURCE

Ughh. Not Debbie Pelt. She better not be another "MaryAnn" taking over the season. I am excited for more Vamps, especially Mr King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington. Can't wait for the Club Dead stuff!

They better show Leif, like in the books. *raises fist in the air*

The 33-year-old True Blood actor told was asked if there was a dream actress that he’d love to work with.

“Judi Dench, I think,” Alex told JustJared.com. “Dame Judi Dench!”

Excellent. I love Dame Judi Dench. She is an exceptional actress.
I bet ya he wants to work with Meryl Streep too (like papa Skars). Ha.

Hmm..I don't think there's ever been a Swedish James Bond.
Yes. I know the tradition of Bond being from the United Kingdom.

Alex Skarsgard Interview with E @ The 2010 Golden Globes

2010-01-18T13:54:00.005-06:00

The delicious, and incredibly humble,
Alexander Skarsgård braved the Los Angeles rain to hit up the Golden Globes Sunday.

Sexy Skars is supporting his G.G.-nominated show True Blood, natch. He hit the carpet looking fine in Tom Ford, and we chatted with the hunk about what to expect professionally and personally in 2010.

Check it out:

You've been a busy boy! Hear you've already started back on True Blood, which doesn't premiere until June.
Yeah we started [filming] like a month ago, shot one episode before Christmas.

Let us guess—you're not giving up Anna Paquin up without a fight...
Eric is still going to kind of pursue that and explore. He finds her curious and interesting. He's not going to stop.

Does Eric just want what he can't have?
Maybe he wants what he can't have. Or maybe he can have it! We'll see. He's not going to let Bill stop him, obviously.

Dying to ask if you're that persistent with ladies in your personal life. But first, we're curious, what do you think about the media prying into actors' personal lives? Does it just come with the job?
I was working in Europe before this so I got a little of that on a microscopic level. Everything is so much bigger and crazier here! I was a child actor, so I kind of got used to that when I was a young. It was kind of the same just times a thousand out here!

We hope you don't object too much, then, because must ask are you single?
Yeah...I'm single!

You don't understand, Twitter will be thrilled.
[Laughs.] Oh really!

Alexander went on to tell fellow reporters next to us that what he looks for in a girl is "a sense of humor."

As for dating a gal in the industry, à la Kate Bosworth? Alexander told reporters:

"I don't think that matters...There are pros and cons to both. It's about a connection. I don't really care what they do for a living if the connection is there."

A.Skars laughed off when we tried to ask him about the Bosworth rumors, understanding it goes with the territory.

Again, as we were told, that was only a fling (if that).

A.S. was supposedly spotted trying to be superincognito with a brunette girl on Friday night at the Chateau Marmont, but sexy Skars just said he was working that night.

Think he stopped by with the possible girl of the moment under the radar, or was it a case of mistaken tall, blond identity? Remains to be seen. But either way we just love this (very polite, might we add) Swede single!
