True Blood News: Jim Parrack, Joe Manganiello, Stephen Moyer and More

Could it be that we may finally see a Michael Emerson appearance on True Blood? Michael is Carrie Preston’s biggest fan and is always seen with her attending various events. Many times Alan Ball is also there. “When I see Alan, he always says ‘We have to find something for you,'” Michael tells us, fresh off his much-deserved Emmy nomination last week. “I’m delighted to hear him say it. I would be more than happy to do something on that show if they have the right part and I’m available. It would be a treat.” (E!Online) Never say “never”, says I!

Jim Parrack can be seen at IO West this Sunday, July 18, in the hilarious show, Top Story! Weekly. If you plan on being in Hollywood that day, grab your tickets at TicketWeb.

Joe Manganiello is at it again! ET caught him shirtless – again. They went behind the scenes with Joe for his Muscle & Body photoshoot. I am officially adding Joe to my list of actors who must go shirtless in at least one scene in every film or TV project they do. He’s right up there with Hugh Jackman and, well, Hugh Jackman is enough.

Joe’s issue of Muscle & Body will hit stands next week. Fair warning: if you are in my way at the newsstand, I will push.

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are the winners of TV.com’s NOW Award for Sexiest Television Couple. These awards were voted on by the fans, so thank you all for voting!

Stephen Moyer was naughty and nice when he appeared on Regis & Kelly this week. It’s always fun to watch Stephen do these guest appearances on talk shows. You never know what he’s going to do or say.
