THIS Is How it Starts.

Wheee, the media run to Season 5 is afoot peoples! I feel better and my true blood is pumping again, promos, season 4 re-shown, this is it.
Rhoswen7's casting info-
Here's a revised casting notice that changes the age of a character:
TRUE BLOOD, Episode #508, "Somebody That I Used to Know" (Revised Role of Sarah)
Start Date: approx. 4/2/12
[SARAH COMPTON-HARRIS] Female Caucasian 40-45. Seen in a flashback to 1931, in a scene with Bill (Stephen Moyer). One day guest star That's an interesting change. She can't be Bill's daughter unless he made her a vampire around 1900. If she'shuman and 40-45 in 1931, then she's got to be his granddaughter or a neice. This revised casting notice doesn't mention anything about her being sick or near death.

The new Inside True Blood Blog has the Echoes of the Past videos up.

The shoes - very aptly named “The Fang” - are the result of the fifth collaboration between the Dutch designer and United Nude. “It's always a thrill to work with Iris van Herpen,” states United Nude Creative Director Rem D Koolhaas. “She always comes up with something extraordinary and it's always a challenge developing and making her shoes. Yet we are a good match for collaborating with her as we are experts in difficult shoe constructions and, in her case, we can develop a product from a single sketch.” Source

Time for a little taste of heaven!  “True Blood” returns for Season 5 this summer, and you can bet the past is going to be haunting the president.  HBO has released three new teaser trailers set in Eric’s (Alexander Skarsgard) bar, Fangtasia; Bill’s (Stephen Moyer) home; and Sookie’s (Anna Paquin) house.  And it looks like more of the infamous trio will be showing us a lot more of themselves in June.  The teasers theme happens to be “In Bon Temps, nothing stays buried forever!”  The teasers are full of shrieks of desperation, declarations of love, introductions, blood-sucking sound effects and even a gun shot, all of which are key moments from the series. At the end of each of these three new teasers, which don’t provide any look at the characters themselves (We’re still dying to see Christopher Meloni in his new character), the text, “You can’t escape your past” appears on the screen.

Michael McMillian is super talented, crazy funny, AND a Laimewad! He’s awesome on True Blood, but he’s even better in our living room discussing UFOs, botox, name changing and lying. He even mediates as it gets a little heated between us hosts. We loved having him on and we know you’ll love hearing him. Enjoy!http://totallylaimepodcast.com/

From SocialiteLife, pics at link-Joe Manganiello warns fans that Magic Mike is not for the faint of heart.  ”No one could possibly be prepared for what they’re going to see,” Manganiello told In Touch (via AZ Central).  ”You can kind of mentally prepare and think in your mind, this is the way it’s going to be, but people really have no idea what they’re in for!”
