BATTLE OF THE FANG – Team Bill vs. Team Eric
Charity Grudge Match!
By True Blood News on Dec 7 2010 | 214 Comments »
The long wait is finally over! Behold the photos from THE BATTLE OF THE FANG!
Bill Compton narrowly beat out the Viking Eric Northman by only $829. Together, both teams competing in the Battle Of The Fang raised almost $70,000 for charity! As Bill Compton is the reining king, Stephen Moyer got to choose the t-shirts himself. As you can see, his chosen shirt reads, “I Like My Bitches Blonde” while Alex’s says simply, “Bill’s Bitch!” Both these dudes got a sense of humor, is all we’re sayin’.
Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgård are amazed at the amount of contributions that their fans have donated. Alex, Stephen, Gulf Aid and SOS Children’s Villages all want to thank everyone who participated in The Battle Of The Fang. The Battle has surpassed all our expectations!
The success of The Battle Of The Fang has once again proven that True Blood fans, no matter which team they’re on, are the best! We’d also like to thank all of the fans who donated, Stephen Moyer and Alex Skarsgård for playing along and alexskarsgard.net, our partner in the competition, for all their hard work.
At long last, the winner of Stephen’s t-shirt is…..
Rebecca K!
Alex’s t-shirt goes to…
Angela S.
We will be emailing the winners to verify their addresses. Congratulations!

Since True Blood has decided to amp up season 3, we’ve decided to amp up the Team Eric vs. Team Bill rivalry. Instead of wasting your breath in a heated, My vamp is better than your vamp, debate, put your money where your mouth is, honey.
Join us as we battle the Viking lovers in a Looziana Grudge Match charity throw down! We have some items coming up for the fundraiser that you’ll love, but that’s not the best part: Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgård have both agreed to wear a T-shirt designed by the winning actor and their team – and be photographed wearing it! Therefore, if you don’t want to see your beloved Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) walking around in a Mrs. Skarsgård T-shirt then join in the fun! Let’s put Alex in a Moyer’s Muffin T-shirt!
SUPPORT ALEXANDER’S AND STEPHEN’S CHOSEN CHARITIES
Stephen Moyer is truly saddened by the devastation going on in the Gulf of Mexico due to the BP oil spill, so he would like to reach out and help Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, which have been so damaged by the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
The mission of the Gulf Relief Foundation is to provide relief to the fishing community of the Gulf Coast and their families, and to address the long-term challenge of restoring and protecting America’s Coast wetlands. For more information visit www.gulfaid.org.

Great friends with big hearts
Alexander Skarsgård would like to see the fundraising in his honor go to SOS Children’s Villages, an organization that works to focus on children without parental care and children of families in difficult circumstances.
Both actors are good friends in real life and they demonstrate their good hearts and their sense of humor participating in this contest that is aimed to include any fan site, organization, or single fan who wants to work to benefit these two great causes.
You can send your donations for Stephen Moyer’s cause via this site, through the Paypal button you’ll find below. If you are Team Eric and would like to support Alexander’s cause, visit alexskarsgard.net.
RULES OF THE GAME
Donations are $5.00 each, donate as many times as you want. You will get a transaction ID after your donation, usually located at the top right of your confirmation email. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HOLD ON TO YOUR RECEIPT. If you donated $20.00, it will be viewed as four donations of $5.00 on event day, WHICH IS GOOD! The more you donate, the better your chances of winning. Donations will be accepted throughout the True Blood season; the contest will end immediately after the season finale.
Sheriff Northman vs. Vampire Bill!
All participants will be mentioned at the end of the event. The names of the donors and the participant Web sites will be sent to Alexander and Stephen once the game is over.
There will be one winner for the winner and loser, to be chosen at random. The t-shirt worn in the photograph will be signed and sent to these fans.
So … LET’S GET READY TO RUMMMMBLE!
Great pics to top off a fantastic effort from the various fan sites (including this one) to raise some needed funds for the causes.
These two are good sports. Congratulations to everyone who donated!
GREAT PICS! Those two are freakin’ adorable, love their silly faces. Bravo to Steve, Alex and all donaters for doing a great thing.
Great pics! Thank you all for organising! I will buy one of each t-shirts when ready!
I still say TEAM BOTH!!!! They both are HOT and they both ROCK!!!!! Way to go you two on the great donation campaign!!!
Like i said me and another Bill pal donated to another charity. We gave a good amount just because we love Stephen and the charity. Make a Wish is the foundation. She offered to give to my choice of charity. She matched the money she spent on some of my art. I am inspired to give more cause of my friends in Bill.
Congrats to Bill and Eric
PS shirts gave me a belly laugh! LOL LMAO!!!
Great faces! Great shirts!
I am quietly freaking out a bit about what’s missing from Stephen/Bill’s handsome face though. And his hair is so short. Is Bill not in the early episodes? I can’t take it. I won’t sleep for the worry.
One of the hair/make-up staff on TB tweeted something about Bill having a “new look” this season, so I guess he loses the sideburns and has a haircut! I’ll miss the sideburns, but he looks cute as puppies with short hair.
Good Lord in Heaven these guys are brilliant. Fun tshirts, drop-dead gorgeous gentlemen, amazing sense of humour and impeccable sportsmanship. Hats off to Stephen and Alex, you guys ROCK!!!!
Brilliant!
I love both these men first because they are such good friends and also because they were great sports about it all. Kudoes to them both for just having fun.
The charities were the real winners here.
You Rock Steve and Alex.
aaww this is just too adorable for words, I love the bro affection they have all the time ♥
SM must be standing on a crate lol :D
Too cute! They’re so funny and I agree, Stephen must be standing on a crate cuz we all know he’s not even close to Alex’s height.
Bill with no sideburns?? I love his old fashiioned retro sideburns , d*mmit.
*sigh*
I’ll live.
maybe.
I know :( we’ll miss the sideburns. Anyway, it could be for a flashback scene? maybe the 80′s thing!
The hair’s not bad enough for an 80′s scene.
:)
LOL! you’re right
maybe that was before the grease/hairspray doing?
Have to be standing on a crate full of his fan mail I’d say.(big crate)
Thanks for the smile, guys! I needed it yesterday!
I haven’t been around much lately… I’ve been insanely busy at work and with some other stuff, but I had to come to see this. They are too adorable, TOO ADORABLE. I love them both!!!
These guys are kickass! Major kudos to both of them. And they are super-cute in their t-shirts and comedy faces! Well done to everyone involved in this, you all rock!
for the people asking about the time this pics were taken… they are taken on set, last friday.
One question, how is SM as tall as ASKARS in those pics? Has anyone ever watched Ultraviolet? Stephen is in the first episode and is so young and cute you cant believe it, he gets killed right away (he’s vamp too).
I am linking to here over at My Media’s TB forum where yall know me as Snakey!
I just now realised that the TB crew kind of ruined Stephen’s shirt by keeping Alex’s hair brown, but we get the point.
Well it could always be a reference to Sookeh!
Ha I didn’t notice until now that Alex’s shirt is slightly pink. Adorable! And also gotta wonder how tall the box is that Steve is standing on. Hee hee.
And is that the Fangtasia basement?
Alex’s hair is slightly blonder than last year, so that’s good, though I wish it didn’t grow so fast, because I loved his short hair he had during the Battleship filming (though nothing beats it as it was growing out from Straw Dogs – sexiest he’s ever looked).
Is it June yet?
Yeah!
they must have gathered all the phone books they had to get him on top LOL
Dang – I loved Bill’s sideburns! I’ll miss them … Great pictures and congratulations Alex, Stephen, and fans for earning all that money for the charities : )
What a great fundraiser. Congratulations to Stephen on the win.
Loved the t-shirts. Alex looks great in pink.
:)

Hahaha i want one of those, if they exist! :)
Too funny. XD
I am a new True Blood’s fan and I just discovered this event.
They are great actors, they are sexy, they are smart, they have a great sense of humour, they are talented AND they feel involved in poverty and the environment. They must have terrible defects to balance those great qualities… They can’t be perfect… (XD)
great images….wud love to see sookie kicking both vamps in their torso, as she did at the end in season 4 to King Bill and Sherrif Northman!!! hey!!! can u get some of JESSICA’s shirts? Particularly that white uniform shirt of MERLOTTES’s…
I love this photo!
