MTV – If you thought Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) already had an overabundance of supernatural suitors in the form of Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), you should prepare yourself now for the addition of one more possible love interest. “One Tree Hill” actor Joe Manganiello joins the cast of “True Blood” this year as Alcide Herveaux, a werewolf sent by Eric to protect Sookie as she embarks on her quest to locate and rescue Vampire Bill, abducted by unknown forces at the end of season two.

“He’s kind of a moral compass on the show,” Joe said of Alcide in an exclusive interview with Hollywood Crush. “He’s big, he’s strong and he’s protective. He’s a good person.”

According to Joe, Alcide also has a lot in common with a slinky. Not sure what that means? Click past the jump and we’ll tell you what the actor had to say!

“I describe him as a slinky,” Joe said as he began using an unexpected metaphor to describe his character. “It’s this coiled piece of metal that when it’s coiled a certain way, it can walk downstairs and do these amazing things. But if you were to try and straighten that slinky out, it would cease to be special. That’s kind of how I see Alcide in a way — he’s this amazing creature trying to live within the confines of human society. It’s a lonely existence.”

As “True Blood” progresses through the third season, Alcide uncoils and escorts Sookie through “an underground society of werewolves” in order to alleviate a debt he owes to Eric Northman. Viewers will soon recognize that there’s an attraction between Alcide and Sookie, but the telepath isn’t the only character in this pair with some additional romantic baggage.

“Alcide has a psycho ex-fiancée named Debbie Pelt who’s floating around causing him trouble,” said Joe. “She’s crazy. She’s psychotic. She’s twisted. It’s a fascinating dynamic between her and Alcide. She’s a character on the edge and Alcide’s caught in that spot between letting her go and trying to save her.”

So, there are a few images floating around the sookie/truebloodverse that show the male characters that you know and love in various stages of undress…

But, I know that a lot of you do not like nudity and some of you do not like spoilers. So, I’ve decided to place a link of the images for those who could care less. If you want to see a few pics click here…

TVGuide Q&A: Give me a good tease about True Blood’s new season. — Holly

MICKEY: Zeljko Ivanek (aka the best guest star of everything) returns as the Magister, and he’s cracking down on the illegal V trade in Louisiana. This is a problem for the Queen, since she’s tacitly allowing it, and for Eric and Pam, since they’re running it.

What do you guys think?

True Blood: Season 3 – Bill Minisode

Last year, Anna Paquin had the honor of sitting in at an Emmy Round-table Discussion about the roles of women on Television. You may remember the videos.

This year, Alexander Skarsgard participated and was joined by Matthew Fox (Lost), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Ray Romano (Men of a Certain Age) and Matt Bomer (White Collar).

Again we have the videos for you to enjoy. In them, they discuss topics such as reading reviews of their work, watching their performances, and why they enjoy acting.

While, I watched and got all weepy over the series finale of LOST, I kept an eye on all the going-ons over at HBO.

So, during the series finale… everyone (either through the code or via youtube) finally got to see the much anticipated clip from the first episode of the third season of True Blood. What did you think?

Give me your thoughts.

But, there also was a new promo and another clip that is floating around the sookie/truebloodverse and t sneak peek of the Bill minisode:

All that info on such a big night. So, keep an eye out this week for:

1. A new poster…
2. The Bill minisode…
3. Much, much more…

That reminds me, have you guys started your countdown? June 13th is around the corner my lovelies.

From Wendy R:

Just to let you know there is a 3-D version, complete with glasses, of the true blood promo poster located in the June 2010 copy of Playboy Magazine. The back side of the poster has the playmate of the year in 3-D as well, so don’t leave it laying around where the kiddos can find it!! The husbands of True Blood fans will be overjoyed to see their wives buying a copy to see Eric in 3-D!!
