Last week's Comic-Con brought out not only the delightful and talented "True Blood" talent: Alan Ball, Joe Manganiello and Kristin Bauer, but also the woman behind it all, author Charlaine Harris.
When MTV News caught up with the charming and all-around adorable author at the Entertainment Weekly/SyFy party, we asked her how she had time to also inspire Alan's *other* show, "All Signs of Death."
(Note the surprise "cameo" by fabulous Denis O'Hare, who can be seen waiting patiently in the background of the video!)

It's almost time for the second helping of the nation's favorite fist-pumpers. While the cast of "Jersey Shore" has been reminding their Twitter followers to tune in, it looks like there's some fans that have been ready. Fellow reality TV starlet Lauren Conrad urged Lo Bosworth, "@LoBosworth Jersey Shore is tonight my friend. Come home!" to which Lo replied, "@LaurenConrad SNOOKI TIME." "Ugly Betty" actor Mark Indelicato was equally pumped (get it?) to catch up, posting, "Jersey Shore tonight is going to be EPIC. GTL."
Speaking of epic, a brand new installment of Zach Galifianakis' hilarious online series "Between Two Ferns" premiered today and this time it's with his "Dinner For Schmucks" co-star Steve Carell. The gut-busting conversation won over celeb fans, including Aziz Ansari who tweeted, "This Between Two Ferns with Steve Carrell is hysterical. http://tumblr.com/xkqeh528r."

From Blair to Serena to Vanessa to Jennie, we’ve seen "Gossip Girl" Ivy League student Nate Archibald involved in many, many love affairs. And now, this Upper East Side hottie will add another one to his list. So who’s the lucky actress that gets struck by Archibald’s arrow? It’s the former “Melrose Place” star Katie Cassidy, who joined the show’s fourth season as Nate’s on-screen leading lady.
Chace Crawford, who chatted with MTV News last night at the premiere of his drama “Twelve," said he is quite excited about the debut of Katie’s character.

There's plenty to look forward to in the final two installments of "The Twilight Saga," but while most of the attention being placed on "Breaking Dawn" parts one and two focuses on the birthing and imprinting scenes, there are plenty of other questions about the production of the film that need to be answered.
For instance: there are so many new vampires introduced in the second half of the book that Stephenie Meyer had to add an appendix to help keep them all straight.

The third season of "True Blood" has thrown some new villains at Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) including King Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare) and Franklin Mott (James Frain), but let's not forget that there are some classic bad guys still out there lurking about the swamps of Bon Temps.
Take Reverend Steve Newlin, for example, the vampire-hating preacher played with expertise by Mike McMillian. MTV News spoke with the actor at Comic-Con this year while he was promoting his new comic book series "Lucid" from Archaia Press. During the interview, McMillian confirmed the news that "True Blood" fans have been hoping to hear: Reverend Steve is coming back!
"You have not seen the last of Reverend Steve," he told MTV. "That's probably all I can say!"

Martha Stewart is a domestic goddess. She understands everything there is to know about throwing a fabulous bash better than anyone we could ever think of. She just gets it. She's classy and sophisticated.
So, with Chelsea Clinton's big wedding coming up this weekend, MTV News wanted to know what sort of advice the talk show host and entrepreneur might have for the former first daughter, who is set to marry investment banker Mark Mezvinsky this Saturday in Rhinebeck, New York (this is all reportedly, of course).

So much news in the world of Justin Timberlake this week: he's apparently now commercial director/tequila maker, a clothing designer for Target and a possible co-star of Amanda Seyfried's. Below, we round up all the fine points JT is now adding to his resume!

This year we have been inundated with an array of over-emotional, intentionally tear-jerking and rarely successful (we're looking at you, "Dear John") romantic dramas. The latest in this ill-fated trend is Zac Efron's "Charlie St. Cloud," but Zac promised us during a recent MTV interview that his new romantic film will set itself apart from the rest.
He said that "Charlie St. Cloud" doesn't get too sentimental, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have emotional twists and turns. "I wanted to make sure the audience got what they needed from it," he said. "Hopefully they are fulfilled and leave asking some cool questions."

It's a good thing the "Vampire Diaries" wardrobe department isn't headed up by Matt Davis and Paul Wesley. If it were, the show's newest supernatural beings — werewolves, naturally — would look more cheesy than badass. At Comic-Con last weekend, MTV asked the guys what they think their co-star Michael Trevino will look like as a wolf. Let's just say their answer was less than serious.
"He's going to look like 'Teen Wolf,' like Michael J. Fox. You ever see that? He's going to be on the basketball team," Paul joked.
"His eyes are going to get big and he's going to spring a couple of chest hairs [insert bing bing noise here]," Matt said.
"Yeah, and, like, two little floppy ears," Paul added.

So remember when "The Hills" ended, and the camera focused in on Brody Jenner, and the Hollywood sign backdrop was wheeled away revealing a backlot and it was all confusing and meta and nobody really knew what it meant (except maybe Justin Bobby because he hides all those secrets in his hair)?
Well, it's actually pretty simple, really. The cast of "The Hills" is relocating to Miami (better hawk that plane to ticket to Europe, Kristin), where they'll go to the gym, do laundry and tan. They'll suck on pickles like a pregnant woman in her third trimester, fist pump like champs and creep on every guidette and juicehead in a six-mile radius of South Beach. Wait—what did you say? That's "Jersey Shore"? Oh, shoot—we already created the graphics for the new and improved "Hills." Sheesh, well, before you tune into the "Jersey Shore" premiere tonight, check out what could have been (including a Snooki-fied Heidi Montag).
