No Anna, no Stephen :( no Award for Evan Rachel, no Globe for Fassbender *sigh* But not all was lost, as we were able to see a lot of True Blood guys enjoying the HBO’s Official After Party for the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards, at The Beverly Hilton hotel, and oh boy, they looked great.
Update! Only 3 hours left!
As you may have seen, the fourth episode of True Blood was dedicated to Jesse James Cartwright. Jesse was part of the True Blood transportation crew and lost his life earlier this year, leaving behind his wife and three children. True Blood Staff, Cast and Fans are uniting to raise funds for Jesse’s family.
We have more news on the subject…
Last week TrueBlood-News, Sam-Tramell.com, AlexSkarsgard.net & FYeahJoeManganiello sent over $3,000 to The Jesse James Cartwright Fund. We successfully auctioned off the script for season 3 Ep 302, “Beautifully Broken” signed by Alexander Skarsgard with a final total of $3,250! How wonderful and thank you to the fans for participating!
UPDATE: We’ve talked to Sam and he’s game for doing more! This week we’ll be auctioning off a Tru Blood bottle signed by NOT ONLY SAM HIMSELF but 6 other cast members from the show…
THE AUCTION READS:
This is an authentic bottle of Tru Blood signed by Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte), Kristin Bauer van Straten (Pam de Beaufort), Allan Hyde (Godric), Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette Reynolds), Todd Lowe (Terry Bellefleur), Brit Morgan (Debbie Pelt) and Ashley Jones (Daphne Landry) ((see photos)). Signings were witnessed by us personally (we run fan sites for Sam Trammell, Alexander Skarsgard and True Blood).
This glass bottle is from 2009 and remains unopened (I would NOT recommend drinking the contents, strictly for collectors). What a great addition to your collection of True Blood Memorabilia or the perfect gift for the person who’s impossible to buy for that has a TRUE obsession for the show!
Description of the drink from the HBO site…
Sink your fangs into a bottle of Tru Blood, a delicious blood orange carbonated drink inspired by Bill’s favorite synthetic blood nourishment beverage. Tart and slightly sweet, Tru Blood pours like a regular soda but appears stormy and mysterious when poured into a glass. Bottoms up – and vampires, remember to drink responsibly!
This auction is to benefit Jesse’s family.

Joe Manganiello, True Blood’s werewolf and Ashley Jones, deceased shapeshifter, attended US Weekly Hot Hollywood Style Issue celebration held at Drai’s Hollywood at the W Hollywood Hotel on Thursday, April 22. Ryan Kwanten is one of US Weekly’s picks (Ryan Kwanten: The Innovator) for the Hot Hollywood’s Issue though he was not spotted at the party.
Todd Lowe, Ashley Jones and Allan Hyde did interviews during EyeCon this past November with Allison Walker of Central Florida On Demand… and in answer to Allison’s question, “Todd, it’s past two o’clock today and why you waking up this late for?” Sorry Todd! Lividity, Tincar, Cory and I take full responsibility for keeping you out so late. It was fun!
Thanks Michi, a new friend we met at EyeCon, for the videos.
Is this a great picture or what? You obviously recognize the five actors from True Blood: Nelsan Ellis, Sam Trammell, Todd Lowe, Ashley Jones and Allan Hyde. The other two men may not be actors but they sure were fun and interesting guys to hang out with all weekend.
Choroideremia Ribbon
That’s Cory MacDonald standing next to Sam, a representative and fund raiser for the Choroideremia Research Foundation(CRF). We’ve gotten to know him quite well over the last few months and this blind man knows how to have a good time. The other quite handsome and tall fellow is Greyson Wolf; he was part of the team that developed the fangs for True Blood in season 1.
In the very near future we’ll be telling you all about our weekend of fun at EyeCon, meeting the actors and hanging out with Lividity’s favourite man, Todd Lowe. Woo Hoo!
*Some people have asked about the sticker we all were wearing throughout Eyecon. The decal is for the CRF and it really was a great idea to wear them as people wanted to know what it was all about, and it gave us the opportunity to explain about this disease and how we came to help raise funds for it. Here’s a bigger pic of the CRF ribbon.
