I was jealous of the folks at the Paley Festival in LA last week when they got to see a sneak peek of the second season of True Blood. Well, kudos to HBO for slipping this clip out to the rest of us, because it's a dark and creepy first look at season two of the vampire series.
The clip focuses on Sookie, Bill, and Bill's new little vampire girl, Jessica.

The Golden Globes red carpet was filled with so many different beauty looks ranging from tomato stained lips, to loose waves, undone makeup and pink lips, however, the most prominent trend was slick, wet looking updo's. Kate Beckinsale even liked her hair so much from the Critics' Choice Awards that she even gave us a repeat performance. Others like Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Megan Fox, and Anna Paquin consistently change their hair, so this style was interesting and fresh.

Nominated for her role in HBO's True Blood, Anna Paquin walked the Golden Globe red carpet with confidence. Maybe she's hopeful for a win tonight or maybe she's just happy with the way her look turned out. She wore a beautifully draped purple gown and chose complementary makeup to go with it.
