Wednesdays are for Werewolves.

Let's give wolfies some love this time around, big scary werewolves from the past. The 80's were great for so many things and "The Howling" is one of them. Dee Wallace (from ET) is a reporter writing about a serial killer, Eddie, she meets him in a dark peep show booth (smart move), she is wired thankfully (till she isn't). He makes her watch a skanky movie and talks to her, she turns and sees he is shifting.

The popo come running and riddle Eddie with bullets "killing" him. Dee's Karen White was so scared she has blocked out everything about the encounter. She has a breakdown on air and her shrink sends her to a rehab type supposedly relaxing place called "The Colony". I won't spoil it for anyone wanting to watch it and it is worth the watch, the synopsis of what happens is on IMDB. The ending is great, that much I have to say, Karen knows how to up the ratings for her show, that's for certain. These arent pretty real life wolves either, they is nasty but there is a sex scene that is pretty hot with the late Chris Stone, Dee's real life husband.


Now back to True Blood and our hiatus support therapy sesh, Wetpaint is talking more about the latest Claude II casting (more at the link).
Claude Crain is a soon-to-be recurring character on True Blood, and we have the scoop on everything you need to know about him. First up? He’s a fairy. We couldn't help but pop out our fangs back in 2011 when we heard the news that Lost’s Neil Hopkins would play Claude — who, in the books, is a fairy from Louisiana who’s possibly related to Sookie’s fairy godmother, Claudine. We were dissapointed when Neill was only featured briefly in True Blood’s season 4 premiere, and new information has come to light which implies that they might be re-casting his role. 
From Reuters-
The Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association, formed in 2009, is comprised of more than 50 critics, entertainment journalists and pop culture critics who work for newspapers, magazines, websites and TV and radio outlets nationwide. They give out Dorian Awards (named after Wilde's Dorian Gray) yearly and True Blood is on the list for this year's.

Eonline's Ted C (forgive me) talks to Kristin about S5, read it all at the source-
"Every year I think, ‘We've kinda done it.' Every year I think ‘Wow, that was better than last year. These story lines and these scenes and the cast…I don't think they could get any better.' "  So says Kristin Bauer—who plays scene stealing vamp-extraordinaire Pam on True Blood—when we asked what's to come for the fangtastic HBO show. "And that's how I feel about [season] five," K.B. told us from the set.  First off, the gushing: "Every script I get I go, ‘Oh my god, that's better than I thought it would be.' And wardrobe fittings, ‘Oh my god, that's better than I could have imagined,' " Bauer practically hyperventilated. 
But scoop-wise, Bauer stayed tight-lipped on the secrets of season five: "I have a pretty good inkling about [what's to come]. And I can't tell you anything." Though she did tease that we should not only expect more totally over-the-top outfits from Pam, but also more R-rated one-liners.  "We thought last year's gash in the sundress might be that point and apparently that wasn't!" Kristen told us when asked the writers ever give her something to say that's just too much.
