A Bloody Good Time

Check out True Blood hotties Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer on the most recent cover of Entertainment Weekly Magazine.

LOVE IT!

Who caught the season 4 premiere on Sunday? It was epic! The show isn't realllly about vampires anymore, it's so much more than that!!

Sookie is as crazy as ever, being all fairy-like and sh*t. But I must admit the premiere was definitely entertaining!

What did you think?

Holy Blood Lust Batman!

Check out the latest cover of Rolling Stone magazine, with True Blood hotties Alexander Skarsgard, Anna Paquin, and Stephen Moyer completely naked and dripping with blood.

Soo scandalous!!!

True Blood is definitely one of the most provocative shows on TV, and this season has been so completely crazy! Have you been tuning into the hot/sexy/creepy/bloody-greatness of the show!?!

Emmy Predictions Part 3

Alright folks, here's part 3 of More Than Musiq's Emmy predictions. This week we take a look at the drama queens, as well as outstanding drama series. And awayyy we go

Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series:

Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)

Mariska Hargitay (Special Victims Unit)

Glenn Close (Damages)

Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)

January Jones (Mad Men)

Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights)

Winner: Margulies has pretty much got this one in the bag, after having already wona Golden Globe and a SAG Award for her role as the wife of a politician (played by Chris Noth) caught in a scandal. And everyone always loves an actor who wins for a second solid role (she took home an Emmy for her work in ER).

Who Could Upset: I'd love to see the stunning January Jones pull a surprise win in this category. Her portrayal of Don Draper's bitter ex is equal parts ice cold queen and vulnerable little girl.

Outstanding Drama Series:

Lost

Breaking Bad

Dexter

Mad Men

True Blood

The Good Wife

Winner: Mad Men. The critical darling just scored its best ratings ever for the season 4 premiere, with Don Draper having to rebuild his career and fix his personal life. It's a smart show, with arguably the strongest ensemble cast on television.

Who Could Upset: I would be happy to see True Blood or Dexter take this one. True Blood's pure outrageous nature makes it unlike anything else on TV, while the character Dexter (played by Emmy worthy Michael C. Hall) truly came into his own in the last season, trying to search within for what's left of his humanity. Both shows are addictive.

Lusting for Vampires Continues

As all of you know, or SHOULD know, Eclipse premiered on Wednesday night. The third installment of the Twilight series has been getting more favorable reviews than the two previous films, and judging by box office receipts so far, fans are still thirsting for more!

Eclipse broke the one day record, grossing $68.5 million on Wednesday, and now Entertainment Weekly is predicting that it might make $200 MILLION by the end of the weekend.

That's bonkers!

I have yet to see the movie (I'm going tomorrow), but I am excited to not only see it, but observe the flocks of fans that are sure to pack cinemas this weekend.

New Moon Delivers Lovey Dovey Cheesy Greatness

I was fortunate enough to catch the midnight showing for New Moon last night, and let me tell you, I was in cheesy vampire heaven the whole two hours!

I forgot how fantastically ridiculous these books and movies are. The teen angst, the undead depression, it's all so over the top that you can't help but be glued to your seat the entire time.

The theater was packed (and there were 3 other theaters open for the midnight showing as well) and this time around the crowd was a bit older, and a bit more diverse.

Last year's Twilight premiere was filled with 14-year-old girls and their moms, this time around the audience was older, mostly college students and much more guys than the previous year. Could this be a sign that the series is reaching a wider audience?

Who knows. Who cares really. As long as Edward and Jacob appear shirtless in the next film for an hour, all is well in the world.

IT'S TIME

Be prepared for full on Twilight PANDEMONIUM this week, as the second film in the franchise New Moon is set for release this Friday.

Pre-ticket sales are already through the roof for the film (I've got my midnight showing tickets!) and industry experts say that its opening weekend is going to be HUGE. The first movie made $191 million in North America alone, expect this one to be even bigger.

This week the three stars, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart grace the cover of Entertainment Weekly, all looking smokin' hot!

These kids are set for life, and just think, a year ago they were unknowns!

People Love Everything That Has To Do With Vampires

The soundtrack to upcoming film New Moon, the second installment in the Twilight saga, has moved into the #1 position on the Billboard 200 album chart this week, selling 153,000 copies.

Featuring artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, and Thom Yorke, and The Killers the CD saw a sales increase of 33% from week before.

Since the film opens November 20th, I'm fairly certain the soundtrack will remain in the upper-thresholds of the charts. The soundtrack to the first film sold an impressive 2 million copies this year, good enough to become one of the biggest soundtracks in recent memory.

The film should be even BIGGER...

I can't imagine what it's going to be like on opening night at movie complexes around the world...

New Moon Trailer = HOLY CRAP THIS LOOKS AWESOME

Head on over to ew.com (Entertainment Weekly) to check out the new trailer for the upcoming New Moon movie. The second film from the Twilight series looks WAY better than the first, with a lot more intense action, character depth, and just all around greatness oozing out from every angle.


The film comes out in November, but seriously I can't wait, and I don't think any other Twilight fan can wait that long either.

It's going to be a longggg couple 3 months.

True Blood Continues to be HUGE

Sunday's episode of True Blood drew the biggest audience ever for the series! The ep saw 4.4 million people tuning in to see what craziness was going to happen, and they were not disappointed!
This episode was ridic! With everything from Sookie being trapped at the Fellowship of the Sun, to Maryann doing all kind of crazy shite.

Can't wait for next week's episode!

True Blood, I mean Love

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, the stars of HBO's hit vampire show True Blood, are engaged!

The couple have kept pretty quiet about their relationship, which has been going on for over a year, but now they have officially announced that they will be getting married!

A hit show and a great love!

Congrats!

(Sigh) No Vampire Nudity

Sorry to burst all you Twilight Fanatics' bubbles, but the rumors that there would be a nude scene in the upcoming New Moon film are false.

Jamie Campbell Bower, the studly new actor playing ancient vamp Caius in the film, admits that he was only joking when he said that the new movie would have a bathhouse scene with all the main members of the Volturi clan stripping down to their birthday suits.

Too bad. I guess we'll just have to settle for hideous looking Robert Pattinson taking his shirt off instead.

Vampire Mania Continues

This week's issue of Entertainment Weekly features two vampire hearthrobs, Edward Cullen (played by Robert Pattinson) from Twilight and Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer) from the HBO series True Blood.

Is it hot in here or is just me?

It looks like the vampire craze is still in full swing. As mentioned earlier this week, True Blood was just given the goahead to start filming on season 3, while the second film in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, is set to come out in November.

Who'd win in a fight, Edward or Bill?

Sunday Night TV Line Up Secure for At Least Another Year

We can all breath easy, as HBO has just renewed three of their Sunday night shows, True Blood, Entourage, and Hung.

True Blood has become a ratings phenom for the station and it was only a matter of time before they OK'd a 3rd season. Entourage will see a 7th season, with more crazy endeavors to come from the Vinny Chace crew. And Hung, after a successful first season will beat the odds and hang on for another year.

Thank god, I was worried I'd have to start reading or something on Sundays...

Twilight Troubles

Major drama occurring with the casting on the 3rd and 4th books of the crazy phenomenally success book/movie series TWILIGHT. Rachelle Lefevre, the actress who played evil vampire Victoria in the first movie has been replaced, and she is not too happy about it. Taking her spot is Bryce Dallas Howard, who played the odd mermaid thing in Lady in the Water.

Lefevre has been blogging about how pissed she is, but now it's rumored that both the actress and Summit Entertainment (the studio behind the film) are keeping quiet because the issue is going to court!

Ridic.

TV of the Week: True Blood Bonanza!

Now as I mentioned before, this blog is for music lovers and pop culture fanatics alike, so some of these posts will stray from the musical map.

On to Television: Since my roommates and I decided to splurge on paying for HBO and DVR, we have been pumped about our Sunday night lineup: True Blood at 9pm, Hung, at 10pm, and Entourage at 10:30.

The second season of True Blood has been f-ing bonkers! There is more bloodsucking vampire orgies and crazy shape shifting mayhem than ever. AND I LOVE IT. This might be one of the most interesting shows on television today. With crazy amount of underlying social themes, it speaks not only on the social injustices that our country is actually dealing with, but it mixes in a little vampire crazy, which everyone loves.

Hung, in its first season, has been slowly picking up, improving after the so-so premiere episode where we were introduced to Ray, a struggling high school basketball coach and teacher who resorts to whoring himself out to pay the bills. Now that he's more comfortable with the fact that he pleases woman for a living, he's a lot more fun.

The boys from Entourage are still back to their wild antics, but finally we see that Vinny is back on top. After watching his star fall for seasons, he is finally on his game, starring in Martin Scorsese's newest flick. The best part of the new season is the growth of Turtle, moving away from Vinny's drive into a man all his own; a man dating Jamie Lynn Sigler as a matter of fact.
