Gap Wants: Ryan Kwanten and Isabel Lucas

Flying the Australian flag for the latest GAP Holiday campaign are home-grown hotties Isabel Lucas and Ryan Kwanten. The What do you want? lookbook features other fashionable talent too, including Victoria's Secret model Lily Adridge, blogger Susie Bubble and humanitarian Lauren Bush who share their charitable wishes for the Christmas season whilst modelling some scrummy winter looks by Gap. Nature loving Isabel cites "Sequins in the City, and more fish in the sea" whilst True Blood hottie Ryan simply wants "All hugs, no worries". I think we could help Ryan out with a hug or two! For every Facebook 'like' Gap gets, they'll donate $1 to the celebs' chosen charity; how's that for Christmas spirit?

Alexander Skarsgard Buttons Up and Preps For His True Blood Return

Alexander Skarsgard sported shades as he stopped by Urth Cafe in LA on Friday morning. The actor has been laying low in CA while his girlfriend, Kate Bosworth, shoots her latest project "BFF and Baby". Alex popped by to bring Kate lunch on set this week as he takes a break between projects. He spent his Summer in Hawaii filming "Battleship" alongside Rihanna, and has since been enjoying taking Kate on dates rather than getting into costume. He'll be back to work in the coming weeks, though, when True Blood starts shooting season four.

'Vampire Diaries' Actress Courtney Ford Joins 'True Blood' Cast

Looks like Courtney Ford is the latest actress to be bitten by the vampire bug. She recently appeared on "The Vampire Diaries" as Duke graduate student Vanessa, and now she's the latest actress to come on board for "True Blood"'s fourth season.

Just like on "The Vampire Diaries," Courtney will be playing a human character surrounded by vampires, but we're hoping her stint on "True Blood" lasts a bit longer. Deadline reports that she will be playing Portia Bellefleur, the stiff, lawyer sister of Detective Andy Bellefleur.

For those of you who have read the "Southern Vampire Mysteries" novels, you know that Portia's first appearance serves a very particular purpose in the Sookie-Bill romance.

Considering the two of them weren't on the best of terms when season three finished, we could see Alan Ball cooking up a very similar plotline for the television series.

As far as we know, Portia isn't an integral part of the witches plotline like "Harry Potter" star Fiona Shaw is, but Alan has a habit of manipulating the stories Charlaine Harris wrote for his own purposes.

No Twilight for Ryan Kwanten

HBO's "True Blood" star Ryan Kwanten stays 'true' to his vampire clan.

While there was an audience pulling for him to get a role in "Twilight's Breaking Dawn," he admits he didn't have any desire to be part of such a monstrous franchise.

"Not really. I see why people love it and I see why it has a huge audience. I just don't like that material, it's just not my cup of tea," he told NextMovie.com.

But like it or not, hunky vampires are a hot commodity in Hollywood these days. "The Twilight Saga" just sunk its teeth into the People Choice Awardswith eight nominations.

Could this be a battle of the vampire hunks?

No, and if he wanted to compete, he would have posed nude on the cover of Rolling Stone like some of his "True Blood" co-stars did.

'Ah no, there's no reason to. I do it somewhat willingly for 'True Blood' -- it always come from a story point that is never truly arbitrary. I can't for the life of me see why I would [pose nude], unless it was an unbelievable pitch," he explained. "I don't see why there would be a need for me to be nude on the cover of a magazine."

True Blood Hunk: Will He and His Fiancée Elope?

True Blood stud Joe Manganiello's wedding bells are getting louder.

How's the planning for the big day coming along for him and fiancée Audra Marie? We'll let Mr. Manganiello tell you…

"We're figuring it all out right now," Manganiello told us last night at the Casting Society of America Artios Awards in L.A., adding, "She's kind of doing the daily grunt work—reading magazines, going online, looking at all of the websites. I just kind of say 'Yes' or 'No' or kind of make a sound, a grunt."

Vampire Sex Makes People Forget Traditional Lovemaking‎

Intense, wild, and dramatic vampire sex could add spice to your night life.

With TV shows like 'True Blood,' 'Vampire Diaries,' and 'Twilight' movies and books, vampires and their signature form of sex have sunk their teeth into pop culture in a major way.

"Everything is more intense, more dramatic, and more passionate than what one would normally expect," ABC News quoted writer L.A. Banks, as saying.

"It's a love that can go all night but without the little blue pill," said Banks.

Banks is the author of the 'Vampire Huntress Legends' series, a 12-book saga dripping with erotica of the underworldly sort.

"The biting on the neck has to happen.

"What it does is it makes the sex something exotic and taboo. It makes it terrible and intriguing at the same time," said Banks.

"The suggestion of 'What would happen if,' the curiosity-the whole thing of the vampire is desire.

"If you have this pining, aching desire, that's part of the draw," said Banks.

True Blood Becoming A Movie?

This won’t come as a surprise to anyone. Told that there’s already natter at HBO regarding transferring (fellow countryman) Stephen Moyer’s series True Blood to cinema screens. The show, starring Moyer and real-life bride Anna Paquin, is the flagship show for the cabler and quite simply, a phenomenon. It’s insane how popular this thing is! Of course they’re thinking of ways to further exploit that brand!

I imagine what HBO will do is another season… maybe two… and then transition into the multiplexes - same thing they’re doing with Entourage and did with Sex and the City. All I could get was that it would happen “sooner rather than later” and that there’s a “chance” Alan Ball may want to direct. Grisly rumour but a believable one.

Ryan Kwanten 'avoids True Blood spoilers'

Ryan Kwanten has revealed that he tries to avoid finding out what will happen in True Blood.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Kwanten explained that he wants the reactions of his character Jason to be as real as possible.

"I pride myself on being one of the last to know [what will happen] because I almost feel like it hinders my performance to know too much," he said.

"Because Jason very rarely knows what's happening in the next minute, let alone the next episode. So I like playing it with that kind of spontaneity."

Evan Rachel Wood Says She Dated True Blood's Skarsgard

Were they or weren't they?

Rumors swirled last year that True Blood costars Alexander Skarsgård and Evan Rachel Wood were sinking their teeth into each other off-camera when they were spotted hanging out off-set.

Neither of the actors ever confirmed it. Until now...sorta.

"God, that set is just a lovefest over there," she told us. "I've even been there myself. I did date one of the castmembers already."

But that's in the past. Now, she has another costar to think about. He's not someone on True Blood, but a young hottie in The Ides of March, a political drama directed by George Clooney.
