'True Blood' Star Stephen Moyer Says It's Bill's Turn To Have 'A Go' With Eric

Posted 10/31/11 12:10 pm ET by Kara Warner in Eye Candy, TV News

Confession: There is nothing I love more than a great bromance. Whether between real-life guy friends, two fun characters on TV or the actors who play them. There's just something adorably warm and fuzzy about affection shared and expressed between two dudes.

The men in the "True Blood" cast are especially bromantic, and it's awesome. (My favorite example: That scene in the season three finale, when Eric says to Alcide and Bill: "If you two are done eye-f---ing each other, can we go?") In addition to Alexander Skarsgård recently hinting at more Bill-Eric moments, MTV News had a chance encounter with Stephen Moyer, who's equally enthused about the idea.

Before we approached Stephen with the bromance angle, however, we wondered if he'd had a chance to read the season five scripts yet, which we knew were delivered to the cast members recently.

"How did you hear that?" a suspicious Stephen asked when we chatted with him at TeenNick's HALO Awards. (We're MTV, yo. We've got people.) "Yes we did [get them]. I haven’t read it yet. I haven’t had a moment to. It’s been busy the last few weeks and days, so I haven’t had a chance," he admitted. "I was talking about it today, I really must. Anna [Paquin] hasn’t read it either."

'True Blood' Season Finale Recap: 'And When I Die'

Posted 9/12/11 10:08 am ET by Kat Rosenfield in TV Recaps

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife: It's a "True Blood" season finale, and—as suggested by that screamy Bon Temps depopulation teaser they've been showing all week—they killin' ERRBODY out here.

Ding, dong, the witch is dead
Jesus, distracted by guilt over aiding in the murder of his good pal Marnie, is a little too slow to realize that Lafayette has been possessed by her. Too bad! A grievous fork-to-hand injury could've been avoided if he'd just paid a little attention—as could the very, very sad thing that happens next. Because Marnie's in control, and she wants Jesus' brujo magic... ALL of it, she says, and this can't mean anything good. But Laf's life is at stake, and Jesus agrees to hand over his powers. Marfayette stabs him in the heart and gets the Demon Cathead. Jesus, in exchange, gets dead.

'True Blood' Recap: 'Soul Of Fire'

Posted 9/5/11 9:24 am ET by Kat Rosenfield in TV Recaps

True Blood It's the penultimate episode of this season, y'all, and it's about to get REAL. Outside the necromancer's hideout, four leather-clad, gun-toting vampires are ready to rumble. And inside, Marntonia's posse is starting to split between "peaceful Wiccans" and "people who love murder," with the latter category containing pretty much nobody but Marnie and Roy. Even Antonia is ready to call the whole thing off; after Marnie kills another coven member, Antonia evacuates and makes a break for it (Lafayette: "Marnie just puked a bitch out!"). But Marnie has grown too powerful, and back into her mouth goes the ghost.

'True Blood' Recap: 'Burning Down The House'

Posted 8/29/11 9:59 am ET by Kat Rosenfield in TV Recaps

True Blood So much for peace, love and tolerance. Martonia watches from above while her bewitched vamps go on a bloody tear through the Festival of Tolerance, all muttering, "Must... kill... the king!" in the same manner that a stumbling pack of zombies hollers for braaaaaaaaains. But wait, because this fight isn't over: Nan Flanagan destroys the cameras and stakes a would-be assassin with a pencil! Bill wounds his attackers with silver bullets! And, just when it looks like Eric might actually succeed in killing Bill, Sookie's on-again, off-again Faerie Weaponry comes on with its typical, day-saving vengeance. Eric is enveloped by a blast of golden light...

...and it all comes back.

We'll pause here while everyone sniffles, wrings their hands and mourns the sad-but-inevitable loss of that hooded sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off. (I know, I know; he was actually starting to look really cute in it.)

Stephen Moyer Teases 'True Blood' Season 5: It Could 'Upset A Lot Of People'

Posted 8/26/11 1:12 pm ET by Amy Wilkinson in TV News, Videos

We're still a few weeks away from the finale of "True Blood"'s bewitching fourth season, but that certainly doesn't mean it's too early to speculate about the recently announced fifth season.

To wit, when we caught up with Vampire Bill himself, Mr. Stephen Moyer, at the junket for his mystery-thriller "The Caller" (opening in limited release today), we couldn't help but beg for some scoop straight from Bon Temps. And Stephen delivered, hinting that this season's arc is setting us up for potentially bigger things to come.

"Obviously I'm not going to tell you what happens at the end of this season, but it's very much heading towards already what is going to happen in season five," he said. "And it sounds amazing."

'True Blood' Recap: 'Let's Get Out Of Here'

Posted 8/22/11 10:06 am ET by Kat Rosenfield in TV Recaps

Let's just get this out of the way: Nobody actually thought Sookie was going to die on last night's "True Blood," right? Right.

Somewhere between the first scene and the end of the opening credits, Sooks apparently recovers from her gunshot wound enough to drink some of Bill's healing blood. Next thing, she's up like gangbusters and demanding that the search for Eric resume. Alcide, who's fed up with Sookie's loyalty-at-all-costs to the befanged, throws up his hands and flounces.

Alcide returns home to a fake-sleeping Debbie, who opens her glowing wolflady eyes to the scent of his NAKED BEAUTIFUL BUTT. OMG. Did that just happen? Yes, yes it did.

But more importantly, Sookie is right to be nervous. Eric is officially under Marntonia's control, and the witch has big plans for him: a command appearance at the vampires' big-deal tolerance festival. And we're starting to get a glimpse of just what an obsessive, unhinged bitch Antonia really is—when Tara, Holly and other coven members balk at her plans, she uses her powers to hold them all hostage. See, you guys? See? This is what happens when you just spontaneously resurrect a vengeful 16th century necromancer without thinking through all the consequences!

'True Blood' Recap: 'Spellbound?'

Posted 8/15/11 10:38 am ET by Kat Rosenfield in TV Recaps

We were all on tenterhooks after last week's "Jessica meets the sun" cliffhanger, but the "True Blood" suspense doesn't last long: Jason tackles her as she starts to sizzle, pushes her inside, and kicks the door closed behind him. Not only that, but when the spell breaks a half-second later, they totally make out...

...which prompts Jess to head home as soon as she heals and instantly break up with Hoyt. He blubbers and sobs and begs her to stay, telling her he'll die if she doesn't love him. Jessica's response?

"Then DIE!" she screams, and smashes his head in!
And then goes outside to meet Jason!
Who suggests that they have sex right then and there while she drinks his blood!

And it's all just a little too much, which is why we're not surprised when it turns out to be just a dream—albeit one that reveals a lot about how Jessica feels about Hoyt these days. But when she actually does go home to break his heart, the real Hoyt is cold, angry and mean. He hurls accusations, says some very nasty things about her vampire-issue eternal virginity and then rescinds her invitation to their house.

'True Blood' Recap: 'Cold Grey Light Of Dawn'

Posted 8/8/11 9:24 am ET by Kat Rosenfield in TV Recaps

True Blood Marnie, now housing the infectious spirit of Antonia the 17th-century necromancer, uses her newly acquired capacity for witchery to escape vampire custody—leaving behind one dead fanger groupie and a message for King Bill that shizz is about to get REAL. The bewitched Sheriff Louis delivers Marntonia's message (it's "RESURRECTION!" by the way) then explodes at the hands of a well-placed stake.

Bill brings Jessica over for some exposition—because don't forget, Antonia is a powerful necromancer, and she wants to use her power over all things undead to make every vampire in the world come out and meet the sun. We knew this, but the solution is still agonizing: All the vamps in Louisiana need to get gone, or bind themselves with silver to keep from being forced into the daylight. Yowch.

Meanwhile, Sookie and Eric are still having sex. Everywhere. When they finally get tired, they make a discovery:

Celebrity 'Change-Up': Kristen Stewart, Emma Watson Among Stars We'd Like To See Swap Careers

Posted 8/5/11 2:49 pm ET by MTV News in Movies, Videos

by Morgan Schwartz

If you’ve seen the trailer for "The Change Up," you know the raunchy comedy is all about two best friends (played by Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman) who wish they had each others' lives and then suffer the consequences when that wish comes true. (Your best friend sleeping with your wife definitely equals Awkwardsville.)

That cinematic switcheroo got us thinking: What would Hollywood be like if people could really swap lives? Here are our picks for some crushworthy celeb change-ups and predictions for what their careers would be like if our wishes were to come true.

'True Blood' Recap: 'I Wish I Was The Moon'

Posted 8/1/11 10:04 am ET by Kat Rosenfield in TV Recaps

True Blood Eric and Sookie have taken their make out inside (and a substantial portion of Sook's clothes off!), but it doesn't last long before Bill bursts in and breaks it up like the love-hating fangblocker that he is. Eric, learning that Bill is his king, kneels contritely and calls him "my liege." Bill registers extreme surprise; he and Sookie commence spatting.

"If you ever loved me, you won't hurt him," she whines.
Bill replies, "This is strictly business. Vampire business." As in, sorry Sook, NO FAERIE SLUTS ALLOWED!

Now imprisoned in vampire jail, Eric finds himself sharing a cell with Pam, who is looking rough and melty. She's not a fan of this new-and-improved, gentle amnesiac version of her maker and keeps trying to snap him out of it, but Eric—who's now heard from multiple sources just what an a-hole he used to be—says that he doesn't want to remember his old self.

Meanwhile, Bill informs Nan Flanagan that all necromanced vamps are in custody...and requests permission to stake Eric for the sake of "everyone's safety."

Eric, still super-sweet and sorry, says that he doesn't expect mercy, but maybe Bill could free Pam to go finish decaying in the privacy of her own home? And also, tell Sookie he was born the night she found him and now he knows what love is? And that he can tell they still care about each other, and he's really rooting for the two of them to work it out once he's gone? And...and...can this really be the end of Eric Northman?
