 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>Teen girls aren't the only ones <a href="/2008/zombies-schmombies-teen-girls-are-vamping-it?page=0%2C1">getting into those sexy sexy vampires</a>! Alan Ball, who created the morbidly hilarious <em>Six Feet Under</em>, is making his own show about them, based on Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire book series. Swedish actor Alexander  Skarsgard, a son of Stellan Skarsgard (<em>Good Will Hunting</em>, that evil guy in <em>Pirates of the Carribean</em>), has joined the cast of Mr. Ball's <em>True Blood</em>. The show centers on the love story between a  vampire, Bill (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0610459/">Stephen Moyer</a>), and Sookie (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001593/">Anna Paquin</a>, <em>X-Men</em>'s Rogue), a  waitress who can read people's minds. Mr. Skarsgard, a tall dark and handsome type of course, will play a vampire and Viking who has been alive  for more than a thousand years. </p>]]></description>
