First Look: Jessica Simpson on Entourage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Entourage, Gossip, Video
(Warning: NSFW language ahead.)

Quote of the Day: True Blood’s Moyer on Being Intimate with Paquin
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, HBO, Gossip
“Everybody on set now gets to see what goes on behind closed doors. We leave nothing to the imagination! [Laughs] But our love scenes actually work really well. Since the crew knows we do have chemistry and are together in real life, I feel like it takes away from the nerve-racking tension that can occur when people have to watch two actors who are just getting to know each other engage in an intimate scene.”
-True Blood‘s Stephen Moyer on filming love scenes with his Anna Paquin, his real-life fiancee.
