True Blood

Yesterday, Entertainment Weekly practically broke the Internet when it released the lead shot for its latest issue, which features Vampire Diaries stars Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley in a smoldering embrace.

Ding dong, the wicked witch was almost dead on True Blood last night.

But Marnie survived a machine gun shooting, sort of, concluding the penultimate episode of season four by swooping into Lafayette's body. Ah, the dangerous, confusing, messy life of a medium.

Elsewhere, Alcide killed his packmaster; Jason admitted to feelings for Jessica; and Eric sucked the blood from a witch's heart. How will the season come to an end? Check out the following promo for "And When I Die" now:

True Blood returned for its fourth season last night, introducing a number of new storylines to viewers. To wit:

Bill is the King of Louisiana, Eric is a new home owner, Jason is stuck in an icebox, Arlene is worried about her baby, Lafayette is mixed up with witches and time moves slower in fairy land than it does on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Humans also don't need to fear vampires, as Eric explained humorously in this PSA:

What did you think of the premiere?

Now we understand how Sookie Stackhouse feels.

On season four of True Blood, Anna Paquin's character will be a single woman, wooed by multiple men. Chief among them: Stephen Moyer's Bill and Joe Manganiello's Alcide.

Both those studs posed for magazine spreads this week... shirtless! Oh yes, ladies. Feast your eyes on each below, click to enlarge, and then make the critical decision: Who looks better?

There are many reasons to watch True Blood: Action, gore, suspense and sex being foremost among them.

But the latest issue of GQ gives fans of this HBO hit another reason to tune in when the series returns on June 26. Here it is:

That's Joe Manganiello, who plays the werewolf Alcide and who has been made a series regular.

How did he get so ripped? Easy, the actor says: the script called for it.

"If Alcide was described as weighing 300 pounds with a comb-over and missing his front teeth, that's what I would look like," Manganiello tells the magazine.

Granddaddy? I'm Sookie.

HBO has released the opening six minutes from True Blood's upcoming fourth season, which gets underway on Sunday, June 26.
