A killer road trip with the 'True Blood' star

Pop singer Leona Lewis, whose soundbites have gotten substantially more interesting since that very unfortunate incident, has come on the record on the most important newsbeat to emerge this year: Twilight. She whispers, "I'm obsessed with the Twilight films." This in turn leads us to believe that in addition to marathoning the vampire franchise, an ideal night in for Lewis would also involve inviting best friend and former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan over to munch on Kinder Bueno bars, paint each other's toenails, and take the piss out of the celebrity-industrial complex.

In case you awoke this morning wondering whether a steaming pile of bat crap and a well-executed drama about vampires can coexist, Stephen Moyer says that yes, yes they can. But Bill Compton's always been diplomatic, eager to bring disparate worlds together; there's no reason the actor behind the character should differ in this regard. He says, "I think they serve a certain audience and we serve a certain demographic so we can all exist happily together." And in this regard, Moyer kind of hits the nail on its head.

Robert Pattinson and Megan Fox make sucking it sexy, Lady Gaga accessorized last night's VMA performance with it, and HBO makes it True: Blood is having its moment. While sporting a pair of plastic fangs is only cool in a middle school cafeteria, and stage blood should stay on stage (though it also makes unnecessary appearances in middle school cafeterias), fashion houses like Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, and Dolce & Gabbana have made fashionable interpretations of all the pop culture gore, sending modern-day vamps down their fall runways. With variations of pale skin, dramatic eyes, and blood-red lips, the look is perfect for a little bloodletting after hours, and with a few tweaks, can also be wearable at your day job.
