Eric Northmam..Is Sex On a Throne

Welcome back Eric....What a great episode last night. And Ginger said it best, "Eric Northman...is sex on a throne. " I'm not gonna disagree with that. He may be sick, but he still has that look that will make ya all warm and fuzzy inside. Speaking of, he kinda got that look when he saw Sookie. And there's no denying, Sookie was feeling it too. It was such a beautifully tender moment between them. The sort of moment that makes you reminisce about when they were briefly together. I know Bill was her first love, but there is no disputing their unspoken chemistry. It was the first time all season that we've seen some genuine emotion from Sookie.

In other True Blood news, it was awesome to see some of the old beloved characters back, like Terry and Hoyt. It was such an emotional episode, from Jessica starving herself, Arlene close to deaths door and making those gut wrenching calls to Hoyt and Alcide's dad. On a positive note,  no deaths unless you want to count the Hep-V vamps. They suck though, so it really didn't matter.
Let's just hope someone will come up with a cure to save Eric.

Hookah Please

" Ring, ring hookah! Ring, Ring!" So who is gonna miss the hell out of True Blood's Lafayette? If you've read the books than you know Lafayette gets killed off early on in the second book, but because of the popularity of his character they decided to keep him on the series. Good call on that one! I can't imagine True Blood without him.

I LOVE Lafayette, hands down he's one of my favorite characters ever! He delivers the best lines, I'm always eagerly anticipating what he's going to say.  He's tough and yet has the longest lashes and most makeup of anyone on the show, and he can rock a pair of gold pants like no other. Lafayette is just one of those characters you will always remember...I am probably going to miss him the most, as the series is coming to an end. 

I've posted a few of his best moments...enjoy Hookahs!!!!!

Emmy Nominations: The Complete List

"Game of Thrones" and "Fargo" score the most mentions, while newcomers high on the list are Netflix comedy "Orange is the New Black" and HBO drama "True Detective."


The 66th annual Emmy Awards are set to be handed out Aug. 25 during a live NBC telecast, with the annual Creative Arts ceremony planned for the week prior, and those up for kudos this year found out bright and early Thursday morning.

Mindy Kaling and Carson Daly were at the TV Academy's North Hollywood headquarters to announce this year's nominees, and Game of Thrones and FX miniseries Fargo scored the most mentions with a respective 19 and 18 nominations a piece.


American Horror Story also scored big with its latest installment, Coven, while other newcomers making a big impression on the race are Netflix's Orange is the New Black and HBO's True Detective — the latter drew big buzz when the network decided to submit it as a drama series and not a miniseries.

Hollywood's Hottest Couple.. Umm Yeah...

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are Hollywood's newest power couple. This means that the "Modern Family" star has already moved on from ex-boyfriend Nick Loeb.

Vergara and Manganiello were first introduced at the White House Correspondence Dinner back in May. However, at that time, the Colombian bombshell was still in a relationship with Loeb."It's very, very new. They're having fun and getting to know each other." according to US weekly.

A good friend of Manganiello, whose name was not disclosed added, "Sofia is Joe's dream girl! He's been smitten with her for years. He's always had a huge crush on her. Things are going well for them so far. Sofia had no idea that he had been crushing on her for a while.

I guess we don't need to worry about what will keep Joe busy since he is no longer on HBO's True Blood. 

We wish nothing but happiness and a long happy love life for the new couple! 

Say Goodbye to Our Favorite Wolf

It's not real, Alcide isn't dead. Our HOT wolf with his smouldering eyes, gorgeous physique, and genuine sincerity is gone? Another True Blood shocker last night, as we lose another beloved character and the season just began. First Tara, now Alcide!!! I didn't want to believe it, but there's no coming back from that.

So I guess the good guy doesn't get the girl! Instead he winds up dead trying to protect her. I feel like this final season of True Blood is taking on Game of Thrones like undertones, don't get attached to anyone. The problem with that is we've been so attached to these characters season after season. When Alcide first came on screen he sure gave Eric a run for his money, if you happen to like the tall, dark and chiseled type. From the beginning, Alcide never had an agenda, and he was honestly just a really good guy. Even when his character got a little dark he still ended up doing the right thing, and being the better person. Then he finally gets the girl, and not just any girl but Sookie. (That should have been our first clue, that no good can come from that).

If only Sookie had listened to him when he suggested they keep driving, away from Bon Temps, but that would never be a realistic option. Not where Sookie is concerned. Always in the middle of the chaos is where you'll find Sookie. Last night was no different, asking Bill to help her in one of her ridiculous and dangerous plans. Even admitting to Bill that while she loves Alcide, she feels he loves her more, and wishing he'd love her a little less. Really, Sookie!!!??? I was pretty pissed off about that, knowing he's coming to save her...then shots ring out, and Alcide goes down for good. I pretty much stopped paying attention after that, because denial set in. 

Good bye Alcide, you will be missed...

True Blood newcomer sinks teeth into new role

Nathan Parsons stars in the final season of HBO's True Blood.Foxte

True Blood might be in the death throes of its final season *wipes a tear away*, but fans are still meeting new faces.

And yes I know that, our awesome @BellaDonna_FN covers True Blood, but I couldn't help but want to know more about this new comer to our show. Who I am obsessed with on The Originals as a very sexy wolf. 

Adelaide-born, US-raised actor Nathan Parsons was thrilled to join HBO's camp, raunchy and over-the-top vampire drama, set in a sleepy Louisiana town.

"It's such a thrill for me," he said.

"I remember watching this show seven years ago and it was like nothing else on TV," Parsons told The Guide.

"To be a part of it is really, really amazing."

The 26-year-old has taken over the role of James, Jessica's new love interest whom she met at "vamp camp" last season, from Luke Grimes.

"The character of James wasn't that well established in season six," Parsons said.

"You sort of met him but you didn't get his story. It is odd taking someone's part, but he was such a small character in season six now I think we can go a totally different direction with it and I think we will be forgiven."

The recent season seven premiere gave viewers a greater insight into James when he opened up to Lafayette about how he became a vampire. From his first day on set, True Blood star and director Stephen Moyer (Vampire Bill) took Parsons under his wing.

"He taught me how to be a vampire in this world," he said.

"Every vampire show has different rules and different ways of doing things.

"It was good to have Stephen there to say 'okay when your fangs click out this is how I do it, this is what you need to think about'. I got tips on being a vampire from Vampire Bill himself."

Parsons is best known for his role as Jackson in The Originals, which follows the original vampire family from The Vampire Diaries as they return and settle in New Orleans.

"The Originals has its own mythology which is similar (to True Blood) but different. I play a werewolf on The Originals so I get both sides of the coin, which is really fun," he said.

His introduction to the complex web of True Blood characters was also made easier by his friendship with Deborah Ann Woll, who plays flame-haired vampire Jessica.

"We went to college together so it was really comfortable to just step in," he said.

The cast has spent the past seven months filming the show's final season and Parsons said there was a lot to squeeze into 10 episodes.

"So much happens so quickly it sort of takes your breath away," he said.

"This is how True Blood works.

"You get on the show and you're thrust into the blood, sex and violence."

The final season sees the residents of Bon Temps - human, vampire and otherwise - dealing with the fallout of the Hep-V vampires' attack on the human-vampire mixer at Bellefleur's and the possibility of another attack.

Jessica's continued vow to protect Sheriff Andy's fairy daughter Adilyn has kept her and James apart, but it is hoped they will reunite.

And what will be the consequences of Pam's overseas reunion with Eric? What do you think FANdomaniacs?

‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 6: Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev heading to Comic-Con

The Vampire Diaries has long been a staple of Comic-Con, so you really cannot be surprised by the news that they will be returning yet again to San Diego.

So which cast members have been confirmed to be taking part right now? Think the major players that include Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, Kat Graham and Paul Wesley along with executive producer Julie Plec. More may end up being confirmed, but these are the people who are confirmed as of now. The stars of this show will be present on Saturday, July 26.

The appearance from the cast of The Vampire Diaries is something to be a particularly special gift for the fans, mostly because they really do more to get there than the majority of the maybe some other casts. Why? The cast is coming from Atlanta in the middle of production, and they are basically going there, doing some promotion for The CW, and then going right back to work on the East Coast. So be ready and welcoming, if you are lucky like we are to be attending this years Comic-Con.

It has already been confirmed that the new season of The Vampire Diaries will premiere on Thursday, October 2, and we also now know that both Somerhalder and Graham are going to be returning as series regulars. Therefore, there is no drama there, and the only real debate thanks to that is what is going to happen when it comes to the two of them. They are not exactly in the land of the living, and Damon and Bonnie will therefore how to find their way back.

The Question Is, Who Hasn't Been With Sookie?

Who says you can't have it all! And our beloved Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood has had plenty...of hot men that is! Who hasn't she hooked up with on the show? Each one better looking than the next! 

We all know it started with a certain Mr. Bill Compton. One of the biggest draws for her, besides him being the first vamp in Bon Temps, was that she couldn't hear his thoughts. One of the most asked questions throughout the entire series was asked of Sookie time and time again, "What are you?" She definitely was not just your typical Merlotte's waitress, but it wasn't until season 3 that we learned about Sookie's true faerie nature. Maybe it’s the faerie blood or maybe a centuries old contract, but whatever the reason, "Sookie is MINE," was quite the common sentiment.

So take a deep breath and let's take a look back at Sookie's Suitors!!

‘True Blood’: Alcide Killed Off? — Joe Manganiello Teases His Death

‘True Blood’ has already killed off a major character this season, but it looks like more supernaturals are dropping dead before the series’ end. In a new interview, Joe Manganiello teases his own death. Will Alcide really be killed off the show?

We know that “nobody is safe” on the final season of True Blood, but please don’t kill off Alcide (Joe Manganiello)! What will we do without those abs? Well, we’ll die. Keep reading to see if it’s really true — but warning: SPOILER ALERT.

‘True Blood’: Joe Manganiello Teases Alcide’s Death

Joe Manganiello is one sexy beast. But not for long…

In a recent interview, the actor behind the wolf pack teased Alcide Hervaux’s pending death on the final season of True Blood.

“I think it creates a sense of urgency and electricity to the season that anybody could go at any time,” Joe said on Watch What Happens Live on June 23. “No one is safe.”

Is Alcide Really Being Killed Off?

So is Joe just teasing us, or is Alcide the unsafe one, this time around?

“In the books they have Alcide Hervaux still alive, but the books and the show have not always been the same, and this season will prove that point on multiple occasions with one of the big things being Alcide being killed,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “The show is going to be pretty crazy this season and there [are] going to be several significant deaths happening.”

Even more deaths, after Tara? and Alcide?! Put a stake in us.

Even more shocking? Bon Temps hasn't caught wind of Joe’s departure yet — if Alcide is indeed dead, the news will be just as big of a surprise to Joe’s cast mates, as it was to us.

“They have filmed stuff with Joe afterwards and have done multiple endings to that death scene,” the insider adds. “So many people in the cast and crew think he is still alive.”

FANdomaniacs, will Alcide’s death crush you as much as it will crush us? We want to hear from you!!!

Here's the full line up of events:

REVIEW: HBO’s The Leftovers

HBO’s The Leftovers is the feel-good series of the summer, if your summer revolves around root canals or being trapped on a eight week cross country trip with the entire family in a Volkswagen.

It’s pretty grim stuff — but quite engrossing and worth your time, thanks to intense performances by Justin Theroux and Christopher Eccleston, and the way creators Tom Perrotta, who wrote the book on which the series is based, and Damon Lindelof, best known for screwing up the end of “Lost,” unflinchingly tackle the nature of grief and the limits of faith.

Can you call it an apocalypse if you are still among the "living"? It’s three years after what has been termed the Sudden Departure, when 2 percent of the world’s population — Christians, Jews, Muslims, straight, gay, white, black, brown, and Gary Busey — suddenly disappeared.

Of the leftovers, some are trying to return to normal, some have turned their backs on religion, and others have turned to cults to assign some sort of meaning to the Sudden Departure — because what may be scariest of all is that there was no meaning.

OUAT casts more "Frozen" characters

It looks like Storybrooke is in for a chilly season this fall when it returns. As reported by EW today, the fairytale crew has grown by two. Kristoff and Anna will resume their romance that began in the film with Scott Michael Foster and Elizabeth Lail bringing them to life. They look positively adorable so it should be a fun addition for all the Once Upon A Time fans. I'm hoping that Sven makes an appearance - just loved that moose! Still no word on the casting for Elsa, which makes me wonder who the gorgeous Ice Queen was in the promo.

Is It All a Dream...True Blood Style

So I bet the first few minutes of last night’s True Blood episode left you a little hot and bothered. We've seen it before, vivid sex dreams throughout the seasons. There was Jason with Warlow and Sam with Bill. To that point, last nights’ Jason & Eric dream tops the charts. I'm happy with any sex dream that involves Eric.

So our favorite Viking and our loveable dimwit share some erotic (I mean tender) moments under the dim lighting, music playing, in what appeared to be a Spanish villa, somewhere. Shirts off, six packs out, kissing...then Jason wakes up in a church of all places! Dream over and back to reality...but not before he hits his head, and sneaks a peak at his crotch.

The remainder of the episode was filled with despair as we see the havoc that the Hep-V vamps are causing everywhere. An entire town gone, with no help coming, it looks pretty bleak for the residents of Bon Temps. In their search to find some answers, Sookie stumbles upon a diary of a girl, the dead girl they found in the woods. The diary reads like a retelling of a story all too familiar for Sookie. Girl meets vampire, girls falls in love with vampire, and the world starts crumpling around her. Cue the flashback to season 1, when she talks Bill into taking her to Fangtasia. It was bittersweet to see them together back then, and I'm glad they included that in the episode.

Speaking of Fangtasia, that is where Arlene, Holly and Nicole, among others are being held captive. Arlene desperate to get them free recognizes one of the infected vamps as her child's former teacher and uses that to convince her to let them go. Mission accomplished - or so we think. One quick feed from Arlene before she frees them, but then she just dissolves into a puddle of black vamp goo. The big question here is why? Conclusion, the humans are still screwed!

So its starts out with an erotic sex dream, then a whole lot of depressing events, followed up by Eric...Eric with the tell-tale signs of Hep-V veins peeking out from his shirt. 

I felt a little emotionally drained after last night’s episode, what did you think?

A Look Back...Tara Mae Thornton

As our fangtastic series True Blood is coming to an end, I thought it would be cool to go back and reminisce about some of our most beloved characters. Since this week we lost Tara, I thought it was only right to remember Sookie's best friend.

I think what I like most about Tara was her candidness. Tara never minced words, and she would be the first to tell you exactly how she felt. Holding back what she thought was not quite her strong suit. Tara was also fiercely protective of those she cared about, even if it meant losing her own life as a human. Tara's story is a sad one, raised by an abusive mother, and equally neglected. She lost the love of her life, and she became what she loathed, she even died twice, (even though that's up for debate). But beyond that tough exterior, she was just a girl who wanted to be loved. Tara was defensive and insecure, and equally feisty and a fighter. She struggled with what she became, but she learned to embrace it. Tara was a very complex character.

Below are some of my favorite Tara moments.
Season 1:
"Oh, this aint rude. This is upitty. THAT'S FOR PATTIN' MY ASS TO MUCH! IMA GET MY BABY DADDY, WHO JUST GOT OUTTA PRISON, TO COME KICK YOUR TEETH IN!" And this is our introduction to Tara!!!

Season 2:
Season 2 brought that crazy Maenad Maryann who caused havoc in Bon Temps. We also got to meet Eggs (Benedict) who became Tara's love interest.

Season 3:

Tara depressed over the death of Eggs, took brief comfort in the arms and fangs of the psychopathic vampire Franklin.

Season 4:

In the beginning of the season we find Tara in Nawlins under the alias Tony, cage fighting with her girlfriend Naomi. As soon as she finds out Sookie has returned to Bon Temps,she does as well, only to find herself in another mess, this time with the witches. In a season finale shocker Tara takes a bullet for Sookie...ending her human life.

Season 5:

Tara becomes what she hates the most, a vampire. Pam is Tara's maker and saves her from killing herself, and teaches her how to feed. Tara struggled this season trying to adapt to what she has become.

Season 6:

Tara and Eric turn themselves in when Pam is captured and taken to Vamp Camp. In this season,Tara is starting to get comfortable with what she is now. In the last episode, Pam leaves to find Eric, leaving Tara to look after the newest vamp Willa.

Season 7:

Two minutes into the first episode and Tara is (supposedly) a pile of vampire goo. What a way to start the season. I think its important to point out we never do actually see Tara die in the fight scene with the Hep-V infected vamps. Will we see her again perhaps, I guess we have to wait and see!

We LOVE you Tara!!! And you will be missed. Always a fighter to the very end...

The Beginning of the End...True Blood

Without a doubt, True Blood has always been one of my favorite shows. Its sad and bittersweet that this is the end of the series. There was much anticipation for last nights premier. And it did NOT disappoint!!! The episode catered to the the human/vampire survival pairing thing,  “For every human a vampire. For every vampire a human.” With infected vamps causing chaos from the big cities to the small towns like Bon Temps, its not safe for anyone.

With a vicious attack from the Hep V-infected vamps, there were deaths and kidnapping right from the start (Arlene, Holly, and a very pregnant Nicole, to name a few). Nice way to kick off the new season. Then...wait, what??!! Tara's dead?? Without witnessing the death itself, we see her mother Lettie Mae covered in dead vamp goo...ie, Tara!!! Tara and her mother have always had a turbulent relationship, but the end of season six, Lettie Mae is begging Tara to drink from her, so she can finally nourish her. Tara does, and there's a reconciliation, an acceptance starting to formulate...then, we lose her...

I've read several articles that all say the same thing....no one is convinced Tara is dead. What do you think? Will we be seeing Tara again?
I guess we just have to wait and see...so in the interim, I thought I'd share some of Tara's most memorable quotes....

"Giving vampire blood to Jason Stackhouse is like giving ho-hos to a diabetic. You know he can't control himself!"
"I don't know what I expect - trash is as trash does."
"Yeah cause nothing says 'sorry' like a tuna cheese casserole."
"The one time in my life I thought I was happy, I was a f*ckin zombie."
"I'm an excellent driver. But you cannot prepare for a naked lady and a hog in the middle of the road!"
"Oh, this ain't rude. This is uppity!"

Stana on Location and the Changing of the Castle Guard

Europe looks good on Stana! Hiatus has taken our dear Ms. Katic to both Italy and Greece. She has been busy filming "The Tourist" with fellow ABC star Brett Dalton (Agents of SHIELD). In the film, Stana plays an American expatriate, trying to help her Italian family connect with their roots. 

Stana Katic Photo Credits - Tsilos Akis photoshoot, Greece

 Italian Stanatics have been flooding social media with their fan encounter photos and stories! And as much as I love almost any opportunity for Stana updates, I am going to use this platform as a reminder that as public as celebrities are, there is a time and a place. Please respect the boundaries that you would appreciate if someone were to approach you in public. This includes, not becoming "stalkerazzi", being respectful and not publishing the locations of where they are staying. So unfortunately because Stana is so amazingly gracious, and these pictures are impossible to sort from the respectful fan pictures I won't be publishing anyone's fan encounters from Italy or Greece. This is a personal stance and it is echoed in the stance of this blog.

"Our blog does NOT condone paparazzi photos and will not post any. We do not condone the invasion of privacy of anyone. We are proud to say we are paparazzi free!"

On a much lighter note, Stana was interviewed by several professional outlets including PeopleGreece, which gave us the opportunity for an ever rare summer interview! She revealed that she herself is still reeling from the direction that the finale took and is looking forward to finding out what they are cooking up in the writer's room! 

And with that we transition to the newest piece of news from the Castle writer's room. Creator and Showrunner, Andrew Marlowe has stepped down, or more appropriately passed the Castle Showrunner's Crown to longtime co-writer and show producer David Amann. As sorry as I am to see Marlowe step down, I would like to thank him for the 6 long and arduous years that he has given us and I look forward to seeing what he is going to come up with for season 7 as he remains an active part of the Castle writing staff. I am personally excited to see what new experiences that Amann will be offering us next season!

For anyone worried that Marlowe would be "uninvolved" with Season 7....
they sure know how to troll a fandom.

Just for reference and because I think it helps put it in perspective, here is the list of Amann written episodes and he's been a producer or co-produced 82 episodes for Castle!

Castle (TV Series) (written by - 10 episodes, 2011 - 2014) (writer - 1 episode, 2010) 

• - That '70s Show (2014) ... (written by)

• - In the Belly of the Beast (2014) ... (written by)

• - Under Fire (2014) ... (written by)

• - Disciple (2013) ... (written by)

• - The Human Factor (2013) ... (written by)

• - Target (2013) ... (written by)

• - After the Storm (2012) ... (written by)

• - Pandora (2012) ... (written by)

• - Heroes and Villains (2011) ... (written by)

• - Setup (2011) ... (written by)

• - 3XK (2010) ... (writer)

With Amann taking the lead on most of the 3XK episodes, I have a strong leaning that the "We'll Meet Again" foreshadowing is what resulted in Castle's car crash. Can't say he didn't warn them! 

I would also like to welcome the newest Castle staff writer! Amanda Johns has joined the ranks for season 7 and from the banter I've seen on Twitter she is fitting in perfectly! Head on over to her Twitter and welcome her to the team!  

The actors head back to begin filming in mid July, so be on the lookout for more updates about season 7!

I am going to leave you with a picture of the Captain of the Castle, looking mighty fine and rocking the scruff (yes please!?) from his appearance this weekend at Philadelphia Comic Con.

Lifetime Making ‘Saved By the Bell’ Movie; See the First Photo

They are "rebooting" Boy Meets World with with Girl Meets World Cory and Topanga are married and have a girl, well the '90s and our childhood memories wouldn't be complete until they brought back Saved By the Bell.

Lifetime announced today that it is making The Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story, a narrative feature that delves behind the scenes of the "hit" teen series. Really hit is a stretch isn't it? I mean it was fun and cooky and occupied our Saturday's when we were too old for cartoons, but needed to be entertained.

'True Blood' heading for Broadway?

Tony Rivetti/HBO

Who isn't addicted to HBO's 'True Blood' Come one raise your hands? So no one. Raise your hands if you don't want to see the show to end? Ahhh that's better. Now for the hard one. Who wants to see 'True Blood' on Broadway? Just as I thought I see those looks. In fact I have the same look on my face right now.

It seems that Nathan Barr the show's composer has pitched the idea of 'True Blood the Musical' to creator Alan Ball and wanting to get back to the show's roots.

I mean yes I would love to have more Alcide, Eric and yes even Bill, and of course Sookie, but can you imagine the show on Broadway without the faces we have all come to love and see every Sunday night?

I am all for the show must go on, but I think maybe, just maybe this is an "all good things must come to an end" kind of ending.

We want to hear from you. Would you want to see True Blood the musical? Are we ready for that as we get ready to enter the seventh and final season?
