True Blood

Sounds like Tiki Barber is heeding the advice of HBO.

For its latest True Blood cast picture, that network has relayed the following message: Do Bad Things.

Unfortunately for his wife, and millions of New York Giants fans, the former running back has taken this message to heart. Or, to be more specific, to penis.

But we digress. Pictured below: Kristin Bauer, Stephen Moyer, Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgard, Sam Trammell, Rutina Wesley, Deborah Ann Woll, Ryan Kwanten and Nelsan Ellis...

The new season of True Blood debuts on HBO on June 13. We cannot wait.

We're still two months away from the season three premiere of True Blood.

But the action on the HBO series is already heating up... almost literally!

Need a few cases in point? Feast your eyes on the special trio of covers released this month by Details, each of which features a different, handsome member of the True Blood cast.

Which if these True Blood hunks is your favorite?

As if Ryan Kwanten's abdominal muscles aren't hot enough, you've gotta admire the Australian actor's humble attitude. In the magazine, he says:

"We have amazing computer-generated effects. It's my head on someone else's body."

No, it's not. Check out more shots of Kwanten, Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer below:

It was already a series of novel.

Then, it became one of the most popular shows on TV.

Now, True Blood is taking another step toward its goal of dominating the world of pop culture and entertaining: the graphic novel.

Look for a set of comic books to be released this July, each featuring the same characters on the HBO drama, but each focusing on different storylines. Says True Blood creator Alan Ball, the man behind the project:

"I'm really looking forward to exploring this new format. Comics have no limitations, things that we could never do on the show because of time and budgetary constraints we can do in a comic. The writers of the show and I are closely involved in the creative aspects of the comic, plotting art stories, characters.

"They exist in the same world, but it's a completely different story than what you will see on TV."

In True Blood spoiler news, meanwhile: check out the first photo of Joe Manganiello as the character of Alcide. He'll play a major role on the show, whose third season kicks off on June 12.

Anna Paquin has come out as a bisexual.

While this news caused somewhat of a stir for fans of True Blood, most viewers are far more concerned about questions surrounding season three of the show, namely: What will happen to Bill and Sookie?

When we last left this couple, the former had proposed to the latter... only to be kidnapped at the conclusion of season two. As soon as the show premieres this summer on HBO, Sookie will be looking for her man - but she won't be alone.

Joe Manganiello has signed on as Alcide, a werewolf that will bond with Paquin's character as they search for Bill. Get your first look at the actor in this role below:

“There is definitely some [sexual] energy between the two of them,” producer Alan Ball told EW.com “It’s not like either one of them is looking for romance, but they’re thrown into several intense situations [and] it’s hard not to bond on a deeper level."

The show premieres on June 12. For more True Blood spoilers, visit our pals at TVFanatic.com.

In a recent interview with Hollywoodlife.com, Ryan Kwanten made one thing clear:

He's more than just a ridiculously attractive body. The True Blood star also has a good head on those broad shoulders.

When asked at the Producers Guild Awards about Taylor Swift possibly appearing on the HBO hit, Kwanten replied:

“I’d like Taylor [to guest star on True Blood]. That’d be kind of cool... I get the feeling that she likes to break down boundaries. She set a bunch of records, so why not get into the acting world and see if she can’t tackle that, too?"

Swift, of course, is already doing so, as she's one of 97 stars appearing in Valentine's Day. But we think she'd fit in perfectly on True Blood, don't you?

She could be a vampire and pretend each of her prey is Kanye West.

There are many reasons why fans have flocked to the HBO drama True Blood: violence, action, suspense, a solid cast.

But there's another not-so-hidden secret about the show that has viewers buzzing: nudity. Lots and lots of nudity.

We're not just talking T&A, either. Alexander Skarsgard and the men of True Blood gets plenty nude on an almost-weekly basis.

But that Swedish hunk won't be the only actor to shed his clothing on season three, which premieres in June. Consider these True Blood spoilers, but Ryan Kwanten and Sam Trammell have gone on record with upcoming birthday suit scenes for their characters, as well.

“We joke about who has the record for the most disrobes,” said Trammell (Sam Merlot). “I think Ryan does. But I’m close behind him at this point because I’ve already disrobed like four or five times this year and I don’t think he has at all. I’ve got to fight that out with him."

Second warning: if you don't watch the HBO show True Blood, something might be seriously wrong with you. It's awesome!!!

While the drama doesn't return for a third season until this summer, its casting director has been hard at work. The series has added new names to its cast over the last month; and, of even more interest to viewers, major new characters.

First, Joe Manganiello is coming on board as Alcide. He's a werewolf that's expected to turn the Sookie/Eric/Bill love triangle into a four-sided shape of some kind. Perhaps a rhombus.

Earlier today, meanwhile, Kevin Alejandro was announced for the role of Jesus. The actor, best known for a recurring role on Southland, will get involved with everyone's favorite blood-selling homosexual, Lafayette.

Other season three additions include: Denis O'Hare, Marshall Allman, Theo Alexander, Grant Bowler, and Lindsay Pulsipher. For the latest True Blood spoilers, visit our friends at TV Fanatic.
