Alexander Skarsgard tells Rolling Stone that he doesn’t mind being in the buff while shooting sex scenes for True Blood. (He’s on the mag’s cover with co-stars Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin.) Here are some select quotes from the 33-year-old Swedish god:

On his vampire character: "I like to think about Eric like he's a male lion. He
looks so relaxed, his heartbeat is probably 15 beats a minute, but you don't know if he's going to pounce, or attack, or yawn."

On staying mysterious: “I don’t want people to know too much about me. It's easier for people to suspend disbelief that way. There's a risk when people see you in a part and they're watching Alexander Skarsgard. Also, I learned from my father to keep your integrity and protect your family – there are certain things that you can talk about and certain things you shouldn't talk about."

On not wearing a sock while shooting nude scenes: "I don't want a sock around it, that feels ridiculous. If we're naked in the scene, then I'm naked. I've always been that way."

True Blood creator Alan Ball on how ridiculous celibate vampires are: "To me, vampires are sex. I don't get a vampire story about abstinence. I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed."

Justin Long dishes on his on-again, off-again relationship with Drew Barrymore, his Going The Distance co-star, in the new issue of New York magazine.

"We've been through everything, the whole gamut of the heights of love to the depth of heartbreak,” the 32-year-old actor shared.

“I mean, we've been on quite a journey. And the idea that a person that you're in a relationship with can change you so drastically and have that deep of an effect on your life, just that idea, I mean, what a gift to be able to use that, to be able to create something from it that we can see again,” he added. “It's like a little time capsule. It's a bit of permanence that usually doesn't exist when you're with somebody."

Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin have some amazing quotes in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (the on-and-off-screen couple appear naked on the cover with True Blood co-star Alexander Skarsgard). Here are some choice quotes:

Stephen on the allure of vampires: "If we go from a base level, vampires create a hole in the neck where there wasn't one before. It's a de-virginization – breaking the hymen, creating blood and then drinking the virginal blood. And there's something sharp, the fang, which is probing and penetrating and moving into it. So that's pretty sexy. I think that makes vampires attractive. (laughs) Plus, Robert Pattinson is just hot, right?"

Anna on the doctor that suggested that she she close the gap between her teeth: "Somewhere between the doctor putting his finger in my mouth and saying that he could fix it for me, I was like, 'Yeah, and I could bite your finger right now.' "

Anna on announcing her bisexuality: “"I'm not sure what the reaction was, but I'm glad I did it. There's such an impulse to turn it into a sensational thing, when what I was really hoping to say is that it's normal and not interesting. (smiles) I feel so lucky right now. Life
is pretty great."

Anna on not minding the vampire bites she endures: "I've had 10 piercings in my ear, and a bellybutton pierce, and a tongue ring. My tongue, as it turns out, is not really appropriate for piercing, because the webbing is too close to the front, and the bottom barbell kept hitting against my teeth – clank, clank, clank. And it gave me a lisp, which isn’t great as an actress."

Stephen on getting the callback for True Blood the same day his apartment was burglarized: "When you have things stolen, you become much more aware of what's important – f—ing take the camera if you want, but don't take the tape that's in it. I lost all those sex tapes, the ones of me giving head when I was young. That was supposed to be my meal ticket."

Cate Blanchett is all smiles as she arrives at opening night of the Sydney Theatre Company and the Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s production of August: Osage County on Tuesday (August 17) in Sydney, Australia.

The 41-year-old actress, who serves as the theater company’s co-artistic director, was joined by the playwright of August: Osage County, Tracy Letts!

"This extraordinary company visit Sydney with the original production of what will be the next American classic," Cate said (via Playbill). The show won the Tony for Best Play back in 2008!

Aussie fans can pick up tickets through September 25 here!

Angelina Jolie is hoping to bring awareness and support to Pakistan’s flood victims.

The floods have already displaced nearly 20 million residents but has not received as much media attention as the Haitian earthquake.

“It is getting hard for people — they see Haiti, they see these other events … and they get exhausted by the time another big one rolls around,” Angelina said (via THR).

Pakistanis deal with “mass death, mass displacement,” she added, “and this situation is going to get worse.”

Ang added that she may visit Pakistan when “the cameras go away”.

Hilary Swank looks sexy and sophisticated on the cover of InStyle magazine’s September 2010 issue, on newsstands Friday (August 20)!

Here’s what the 36-year-old actress had to share:

On being stylish on a budget: “People around me laugh because I still have a deep understanding of what a dollar gets you and how far to make that dollar go. No wonder my closet is a hodgepodge. I have everything from Louboutins to Payless. From Gap to designer stuff. You don’t have to have a brand name on to be stylish. You can mix it all together and it works.”

On divorce: “A lot of people look at divorce as a failure. I really looked at my relationship with Chad [Lowe, her ex husband] as 14 years of success. I will carry him in my heart forever. He’s part of me… Friends of mine and I talk about this. Does someone come into your life for a certain time, and then you are supposed to go your separate ways? There’s a part of me that thinks that’s true. We have friendships that we grow out of. But I believe in the long haul. I believe in having a monogamous relationship.”

According to TMZ, he was killed after his jeep went over the side of the Pacific Coast Highway at 4:33 p.m. on August 16.
