HBO / Steven Lippman; Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesSnoop Dogg may think he’d make a bloody good vampire on True Blood, but unfortunately for him, it sounds like rapping about the hit HBO series is the closest he’s going to get to being a part of it.
Not only does the Doggfather name-check the show in his latest hit, “Gangsta Luv,” but he once told MTV New that he’d love to be on the show. In October, he admitted to us that he even lets his young kids watch the sexed-up fangfest.
Even so…
True Blood star Anna Paquin admits Snoop probably won’t be landing a guest gig in the near future.
“If it were an appropriate character, then why not? We have all types of people on the show,” she told us last night at L.A.’s Sunset Tower Hotel, where she hosted Audi’s Pre-Golden Globes celebration. “But we don’t really…put people on the show for the sake of putting people on the show.
“I feel like some shows are more OK with that sort of stunt casting, like, ‘Oh, it’ll boost ratings for that week,’ “ Paquin continued. “It’s not really our schtick.”
Meanwhile, once inside the fete, Paquin took a poolside cigarette break while hanging out with new bestie, Glee star, Dianna Agron. Also there were Dita Von Teese, Kim Raver, Lisa Rinna, Eva Amurri, Perry Reeves and Jeffrey Donovan.

Anna Paquin Interview

Monday, November 2nd, 2009Oscar-winner Anna Paquin takes time out from her lead role in the hit TV series, True Blood, to enjoy the sun and talk to MiNDFOOD about life, love and living in the moment.
BY Cristina Greeven Cuomo – mindfood.com
Anna Paquin is about to catapult into a rare form of superstardom, the kind in which a television actress becomes an A-list fixture (à la Sarah Jessica Parker), as her erstwhile rivals fall off the radar. Not that we didn’t see this coming: At only 11 years old, Paquin won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress opposite Holly Hunter in the film The Piano.
Since then she’s taken on fantastical high-concept adventure (the X-Men franchise), drama (The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler) and even a little history (Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Joan of Arc). But today, as the bright-eyed Southerner Sookie Stackhouse on HBO’s True Blood, she has fully arrived. And her Golden Globe win earlier this year proves it.
“The Golden Globe feels pretty damn good because I’m an adult and it’s the first major recognition I’ve had for my work as an adult,” she says. “Even though I’m only 27, I’ve been working since I was nine, so it feels like I worked for it.”
The second series of True Blood – “dangerous, sexy, otherworldly; a grown-up version of a fairytale”, as Paquin describes it – is now showing in New Zealand and Australia, and is the creation of Alan Ball of Six Feet Under fame. Paquin was onboard the moment she heard he was behind the project. “He’s extraordinary, smart, funny and unpredictable in his humour, and he’s kind and approachable,” she says. “The best boss you could possibly have.”
KEEPING IT REAL
Similarly, True Blood could be one of the best things that could have happened to her. Paquin fell in love with her co-star, Stephen Moyer (who plays the vampire Bill), on set and the couple got engaged in August this year. Night after night of filming (“The sleep deprivation can be rough – our crew right now is starting to look like vampires,” she says) enabled the relationship to blossom quickly.
“Steve and I had a certain instant connection,” she says. “We read Bill and Sookie opposite each other for the very reason that there needed to be a strong connection between the two actors playing those characters. Then that’s the person you’re working with all the time. It doesn’t hurt when the relationship on screen, which you’re trying to create, is one of attraction and fascination. Somewhere the line gets a little blurred.” The chemistry is indeed evident on the show and the role of Sookie – an innocent, romance novel-type girl who reads minds and falls for the good-guy vampire – is Paquin’s favourite role to date.
“Sookie’s had a really rough time in her own personal life,” she explains. “Everyone think she’s a big freak. Then this dark and mysterious creature shows up, and he’s not judging her and she’s in no position to judge him. It’s the first time that she gets to be herself, and he’s fascinated by all the things that make her different. And vice versa.”
