Sookie Stackhouse's telepathic abilities sure would come in handy to discern the fate of Bon Temps' residents in the third season of "True Blood." Unfortunately for us, mind reading isn't our forte, but we've got the next best thing. The people who pen the titillating series (creator Alan Ball, Elizabeth Finch, Kate Barnow, Brian Buckner, Nancy Oliver, Alexander Woo and Raelle Tucker) converged last night at a Paley Media Center panel in Beverly Hills and gladly spilled more than a few spoilers. We've combed through the scene reports to bring you the three juiciest, sexiest and tantalizing morsels, which we share below. (For more news from the event, check out "True Blood"'s official Twitter feed (@TrueBloodHBO) or True-Blood.net).

1. Alexander Skarsgård sans clothes

From the mouth of he who brings glorious visions to thine eyes (a.k.a Alan Ball): "Alexander Skarsgård appears without most of his clothes in the very first episode of season 3." There's really no further explanation needed here, right? I mean, whether it's strip Yahtzee or a half-naked highlight touch-up, I'm all eyes.

Elena and Bonnie might be best friends on "The Vampire Diaries," but the actresses who play them, Nina Dobrev and Katerina Graham, are real-life BFFs too. Kat told Hollywood Crush last week that the entire "VD" cast is a close-knit group of pals who watch the show together every week, have sleepovers, and go on weekend trips together. "We're 100 percent cheesy. Don't let the coolness of us being on the show fool you. We're all very nerdy and all completely in love with each other," said Katerina.

The girls of the show — Nina, Kat, Kayla Ewell (Vicki), Candice Accola (Caroline), and Sara Canning (Jenna) — regularly have sleepovers at Nina and Kayla's house. On a rainy Thursday two weeks ago, the cast gathered in Kat's trailer to watch the show. "We all got food from catering and watch it in my room. It was pouring rain and my room is the only one that really got reception. So we were all sitting there, about six or seven people, watching it.

With "Twilight" producers helming the film adaptation of Lauren Conrad's hit novel "L.A. Candy," is it possible we could see a few familiar vampires and werewolves stalking Hollywood?

"I have no idea!" Lauren told MTV News when asked which "Twilight" actor she'd like to see in the film. "I think I'm kind of taking it step by step. I'm gonna work on the script first and then go to actors. As soon as I get back... I'm going to start meeting with writers and try and decide on a writer to write the movie."

The case before you, Crushers, is simple. Hollywood Crush's Sweethearts Court would like you to find whether country crooner Taylor Swift and "New Moon" shapeshifter Taylor Lautner are guilty on charges of dating in the first degree. We will present you with persuasive evidence today and hope that your verdict is in the affirmative. [Bangs gavel] I hereby bring this case of are-they-or-aren't-they to order. Let's proceed.

I assume you, the esteemed jurors, are well aware of the precedence in this case. The name-sharing pair were first snapped together filming scenes for their upcoming rom-com "Valentine's Day" in late July. Swift later said their onscreen lip lock "was life-changing." Fast-forward to fall and the teen dreams were caught sharing a lingering embrace at Swift's concert in Chicago. Which brings us to the past week (when they were, as seen to the right, Spotted! shopping together at Alice + Olivia). Here are the latest developments:

If the rumors are to be believed, author Carrie Ryan may soon be responsible for taking Kristen Stewart away from vampire-infested Forks and dropping her into the zombie-infested "Forest of Hands and Teeth." In the meantime, she's doing her darndest to make the rest of us fans of that other undead genre. So, in honor of Halloween, we asked Carrie to give us a list of her favorite zombie-flavored movies, TV shows, books and video games. And because she has fiancé John Parke Davis to blame/thank for her zombie obsession, she let him weigh in, too.

#10: "Fido" (2006 movie)
JP Davis: This "zomedy" explores a '50s-style world where the zombie outbreak has been turned into a convenience as zombies are reprogrammed to be manservants. In case you have never seen a zombie movie before, this does not end well.

Carrie Ryan: Even though I'm not as big of a fan of sentient zombies, this is a great movie, especially for those who prefer their zombies with a touch of comedy rather than too much terror. Plus, like all great zombie movies, it still makes you think once the credits start to roll.

We were all stunned when we got a chance to see Michael Sheen (finally!) in character as Aro. The new "New Moon" TV spot featuring the Volturi gave us a chance to see the bad vamps in action.

But Michael is one of the few actors around (the only one I can think of offhand) who has had the opportunity to play both a vampire and a werewolf. Anyone looking to see a darker modern take on vampire mythology should check out the "Underworld" series, in which Michael plays the werewolf, Lucian.

When we got a chance to talk with "New Moon" director Chris Weitz, we asked him what side Michael would fall on in the battle between the supernatural creatures: vampire or werewolf?

Long live, MJ! The stars came out in full effect last night for the premiere of the long-awaited Michael Jackson movie "This Is It" (out in theaters today) and continued to share their love and admiration for Jackson, and the movie, today on Twitter. "Saved by the Bell" alum and "Extra" host Mario Lopez posted, "Really glad I went to MJ premiere last night. I was dancing in my seat the whole time! He's unbelievable... My all time favorite ever."

Elsewhere, "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert (who also attended last night's "This Is It" premiere) debuted the cover art for his new album, which left fans with mixed feelings. Adam addressed those who got what he was going for, "Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It's an omage to the past. It IS ridiculous. *homage. When's Twitter adding spell check?"

Also having some similar spelling issues Demi Lovato, though she didn't mind because she certainly had a lot to brag about. The "Camp Rock"-er announced via her Twitter, "I'm officially a legit teenager. I know have my LICENSE!!!!..... hahahahahahaha I NOW* have my license. And yes, I'm that excited! hahahaha." Count "The Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel (pictured) is another celeb making big steps today, as she told fans, "Just met w a financial planner.I feel like such an adult.maybe hiding my $ in a mattress isn't the best idea lol."

Check out what else had your favorite stars (and new social networker Jim Carrey) tweeting today. Alex Meraz claimed he looked like "a wet dog," Mandy Moore splurged and Tom Felton talked Halloween costumes (hint: it doesn't have anything to do with Hogwarts!)

Hollywood has come down with a case of Broadway fever, as yet another young starlet is set to make her Great White Way debut. Just yesterday we pondered Scarlett Johansson's upcoming role in the Arthur Miller drama "A View From the Bridge," and now comes word (via Variety) that 13-year-old Abigail Breslin has been cast as Helen Keller in a revival of the 1959 play "The Miracle Worker."

Abigail will star as the blind-deaf girl alongside Alison Pill's ("In Treatment," "Milk") Annie Sullivan, a legally blind woman who teaches Helen to communicate. "The Miracle Worker" is quite a celebrated production having won four Tonys in 1960 and two Oscars in 1963 for the screen adaptation, both starring Patty Duke as Helen and Anne Bancroft as Annie.

Matthew Bomer may be breaking the law on his new show "White Collar," but in real life he's just breaking our hearts thanks to his chiseled good looks and killer blue eyes. Bomer has an aura of mystery about him, and who doesn't like to unravel and get to know a tasty nugget like Matthew. That's why we'll tune in week after week and why he's this week's Hump Day Hottie.

Press play on the video below to see more of this week's Hump Day Hottie, and then keep reading for more details about him.

Vital Stats: The 32-year-old Texas native grew up with football royalty: his dad was a Dallas Cowboy. He used to act in the Alley Theatre in Houston with "Pushing Daisies" star Lee Pace. He later attended Carnegie Mellon University and, the rest is, as they say, history. We know what you're thinking ... is he taken? Well, if Perez Hilton has his information correct, then the answer is yes. He's dating Simon Halls, the CEO of PMK Public Relations.
