The True Blood Cast Answers: What’s the Appeal of a Supernatural Love Triangle?

Jun 10, 2012 @ 5:00 pm

True Blood’s season 5 premiere airs tonight at 9/8c on HBO, which means we can finally get the latest update on the show’s Sookie-Bill-Eric romance. We caught up with the cast at True Blood’s Hollwood premiere to ask: What’s the appeal of a supernatural love triangle? “People like having favorites,” Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) told InStyle.com. “Everybody has their own idea of what they want it to be. The more characters you give them, the more chance there is of pleasing at least some people some of the time.” What did the rest of the cast think? Click through the gallery to find out!

Jason Wu’s Newest Client: Mad Men’s Jessica Paré

Jun 10, 2012 @ 3:30 pm

Jason Wu is a Mad Men fan! We caught up with the designer at the CFDA Awards, where he gushed over his newest client, Jessica Paré, who plays Megan Draper on the hit show. “I’m such a huge fan of her character on Mad Men and I was dying to meet her,” Wu told InStyle.com of Paré, who presented the Accessory Designer of the Year Award in a velvet funnel neck blouse and vibrant pink skirt from his fall 2012 collection. “She was every bit as lovely and more gorgeous in person if that’s possible,” he said. “She’s just so statuesque and proper.” Wu also told us that the first-time presenter “stole the show.” With an outfit like that, it’s no wonder she looked so confident! Catch Jessica Paré tonight on Mad Men’s season finale at 9/8c on AMC.

How to Protect Your Blond Hair from Chlorine

Jun 10, 2012 @ 1:00 pm

Afraid chlorine will change your bottle blond color? Protect it! “If you jump into the pool with dry hair, it will absorb chlorinated water through and through, and the same goes for salt water,” said Kristen Ess, who works with Rachel McAdams. “Hit the pool or beach with damp, conditioned strands straight from the shower to keep the harsh chemicals from penetrating too far into your hair. You can even leave a little conditioner in your ends to put up an extra barrier.” If you don’t have time to smooth on the conditioner, Ess recommends throwing a bottle of Healthy Sexy Hair Leave-In Conditioner ($10; sexyhair.com for locations) in your beach bag to spritz on before diving in.

True Blood star Alexander Skarsgård is taking a bite out of the fragrance world! The actor is the new face of Calvin Klein’s Encounter scent, appearing alongside model Lara Stone in the sultry new campaign, as seen above. “Their idea for their concept was very intriguing to me—it was almost like a short film, and very film noir,” Skarsgård told WWD. Encounter is a spicy blend of cardamom, rum, patchouli, and cedarwood, a mix that’s guaranteed to get your blood pumping, and will be available for $40 to $72 in stores come September. In the meantime, catch Skarsgård as Eric Northman on True Blood’s triumphant return, tonight at 9 p.m. EST on HBO.
