Now that is quite a gorgeous foursome. How interesting that Rutina Wesley, the only human among the bunch, is the one comfortable baring her teeth.

Famed Vampire Chronicles author Anne Rice is in the midst of promoting her new book, which focuses on angels. Now that the author has moved on from her bloodthirsty pursuits, she's been tuning into some vampire stories by other people. Rice admits, "I really enjoy the HBO series True Blood." When I was writing my own, I wouldn't have wanted to be influenced."

While she hasn't read any of the Twilight books, Anne did watch the movie and sounded off on it as well. She adds, "I think many girls mature much earlier than boys, and they are frustrated when they approach young boys for love or protection.  Hence the fantasy of a wise and protective vampire coming into the life of a young girl who, of course, appreciates him in a special way."

I like them both, but there's something about those vampires from the Bayou that really get me going.

Sam Trammell and Rutina Wesley from the television series True Blood, and actor Kellan Lutz and actress Ashley Greene from the Twilight movie series hosted the Veuve Clicquot's Yelloween at the Tao Nightclub at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino October 31, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ashley went with a peacock costume while Kellan donned a Robin (as in Batman and Robin) costume. Ashley was happy to be wearing something different than a vampire costume. "It's definitely very fun to dress up in something different. Don't get me wrong, I love the costume - but everyday for two hours, it wears on you a little bit."

They joined the True Blood cast members and other partygoers in a night of drinking and dancing. Let's hope they had fun and don't feel like they got the short end of the stick. At one point Kellan yelled "let's do a massive amount of shots."

I'm Las Vegas when compared to Brazil and Japan. Kinda blows. Check out the inside the party photos of Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene here!

For the Hollywood premiere of Drew Barrymore's film, Whip It!, the look for the evening was black and shiny. Barrymore, who directed the film, showed off her curves in a fitted black sheath dress and a pair of peep-toe red satin pumps. The 34-year-old actress was also sporting a short, blond do, having cut off her two-toned locks just in time for the Emmy Awards not to long ago.

Fellow co-stars, Juliette Lewis and Ellen Page also opted for a little black dress. Page paired her simple frock with a pair of ankle boots and Juliette, well, was Juliette in a sparkly black number, wacky patterned tights and a big smile.

Of course, Steven Spielberg--who directed Drew as a child star in E.T.--was out to support Barrymore in her directorial debut.

There don't appear to be any prudes on the set of the racy series, True Blood, and HBO has been reaping the rewards of the frequent on-set nudity with some stellar ratings. Last Sunday's episode nabbed an impressive 5.3 million viewers, increasing the viewership by 20 percent over last week's 4.5 million.

The show's star, Anna Paquin, explains to Nylon magazine that she has no problem baring her body on television and quite frankly, can't see the big deal. "Maybe there are a lot of women who keep their bras on while they have sex...I don't happen to be one of them. I don't think the naked body is particularly shocking or interesting."

Try telling that to 5.3 million viewers.

The first season of HBO's True Blood hooked audiences into the stories of Sookie Stackhouse and her supernatural buddies in Bon Temps, Louisiana.

Of course, the plot lines are all helped along with healthy doses of sexy scenes showcasing the enviable physiques of the hot, young stars.

And the returning season of the vampire series provides plenty of shirtless antics, along with some storylines that delve into issues of religion and spirituality, according to a review from Entertainment Weekly.

Of course, any social commentary is very cleverly sold with a side of sex. Not that we're complaining.
