Anna Paquin has hinted True Blood will continue until at least 2015.

The star has told an Australian mag how she is looking forward to spending the next five years with the hit TV show’s cast and crew.

The 28-year-old Oscar winner said: “I can’t think of a group of people that I would rather spend the next five years of my life with. It’s just a dream come true as an actor.”

But the star is still mystified as to why people are so fascinated with vampires. “Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they’re often very sexy – and kind of dangerous,” she said.

The New Zealander also tells Famous magazine season three of the series is definitely the sexiest so far.

Anna, who is engaged to True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, added: “It’s been full of weird, kinky vampire sex from the very beginning, so I’m kind of used to it by now.”

Red-hot Hollywood actress Eva Mendes rolled about in a bath full of bubbles and candyfloss as she appeared on US late night show Jimmy Kimmell Live.

The comical scene was a dream sequence for Kimmel’s pint-sized Hispanic sidekick Guillermo – as he anticipated Eva’s arrival on the show.

In his dream Eva appeared dressed as a sexy senorita with him wearing a mini matador outfit and cape.

“Take me Guillermo I’m yours – do with me what you want,” Eva said.

The two then appeared together in a jacuzzi eating candyfloss before Guillermo snapped out of it – to find himself eating a fuzzy microphone cover.

Later, good sport Eva played down how attractive she is.

“I’m on the cusp,” she said.

“I’m marginally cute but you should see me before 8am … and that’s not an invitation!”

The actress is currently appearing in US cinemas in The Other Guys, a comedy cop movie starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.

Mould could be to blame for the tragic deaths of Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack.

Health officials are said to be investigating claims that mould growing in the couple’s home could have damaged their respiratory health and played a part in their deaths, according to TMZ.

The Clueless actress collapsed in the shower at their Hollywood Hills mansion last December and died shortly after. An inquest ruled she died of pneumonia complicated by her use of prescription drugs. Just five months later her husband also died at their home from the same causes.

California’s Department of Public Health is now inspecting their marital home.

Murphy’s mum Sharon, who also lived at the house, is said to have refused the Los Angeles County Coroner entrance after her daughter’s death. She has since agreed to a survey by public health officers.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2007, both had pneumonia and anaemia listed as causes of death in their respective coroner’s reports.

Eclipse beauty Kristen Stewart has said she wouldn’t like to be like Angelina Jolie.

The 20-year-old actress can currently be seen on screens playing Bella Swan in the latest chapter in the Twilight Saga.

She said: “I don’t want to be Angelina Jolie. Not that Angelina Jolie isn’t the most talented, beautiful, successful, amazing, admirable person who does good things for the world, but I don’t want to be a movie star like that.”

Stewart added that she wouldn’t like to be that famous and isn’t enjoying her celebrity status.

She said: “I don’t think there’s anything about being a celebrity that’s desirable. I understand, though, that everybody’s going to know who you are and what you look like, but why be so obsessive?

“People are in love with you and they don’t even know you. It can be isolating.”

British Lost star Rebecca Mader has just got her Green Card – and plans to apply for American citizenship as soon as she can.

“I’ve been in America about 10 years now and I’ve just got my Green Card – I’m legal!” she said proudly on Craig Ferguson’s UY.S. chat show.

“I’ve got to wait five years from getting the Green Card then I can become a citizen,” she said.

Mader, from Cambridge, also revealed that her character on Lost was originally supposed to be American. “But I was like, ‘Oh go on, let me be English’ so I could speak in my own accent,” she admitted.

She initially apologised to her Scots host for being English, leading Ferguson to quip: “I’ve always loved the English girls – I very much enjoy doing to them what their ancestors did to my country.”

As their flirty interview came to an end, Mader quipped: “It’s like bad sex – it gets really good and then it’s just over.”

Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has revealed she is losing weight by living off cookies.

The actress said she has already lost five pounds by following Dr Siegal’s Cookie Diet, and hopes to lose between five to 10 more.

She told Access Hollywood: “I actually noticed that celebrities were taking Dr Siegal’s Cookie Diet and I thought, ‘This has got to work’.”

Under the regime, dieters cut out breakfast and lunch and replace it with the doctor’s specially baked cookies, slashing calorie intake to between 1000 and 1200 a day.

“I eat six cookies a day and then I have like chicken for dinner, or fish,” she said. And now her mum has turned to the diet too. She added: “She lost at least 10 pounds. So I helped my mom out.”

The second season of MTV’s Jersey Shore will hit the screen on July 29, and Snooki wants to make sure she looks tip top when she hits the beach.

Promoting her new memoir, Uncharted terriTori, Tori Spelling says she had an otherworldly meeting with the late Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett.

“I was talking to a medium. I was hoping my dad [Charlie's Angels producer Aaron Spelling] would come through,” the mother of two explained.

But it was not her father who rapped the table but the 62-year-old actress who died last year after a long battle with cancer.

“Farrah Fawcett came through in my reading loud and clear,” Spelling told Access Hollywood.

“She wanted me to give a message to her family about how she was doing and what was going on and I’m like, ‘Great! She really picked the wrong person’.”

The reality star went on to write to Fawcett’s long-term partner Ryan O’Neal and their troubled son Redmond.

“I was like, he’s either going to think I’m completely crazy or he’s going to say, ‘Wow! Some of this makes sense,’ because she gave very specific details of things to tell them.”

O’Neal reportedly has not responded to the 37-year-old’s letter.

CCTV footage showing what really happened during an incident in which Jodie Foster is accused of attacking a teenage photographer, has gone missing.

The teen has claimed that the Oscar-winning actress attacked him after he tried to take her photo.

The 17 year-old, who has not been named, filed a police report claiming the star attacked him at The Grove Shopping Centre in Los Angeles.

The teen and his father allege Foster “scratched and grabbed” him. Foster admitted making physical contact with the teen but her rep insisted the teen was a paparazzi who “scared” her two sons, so she told him to leave them alone.

The rep added: “This guy’s behavior was completely inappropriate.”

According to a new report, the CCTV images could have solved the dispute, but the teen’s father, who refuses to be named, is now claiming that the footage has “mysteriously disappeared”.

Furry Vengeance star Brooke Shields has been criticised by PETA for having her own mink coat made.

The actress recently travelled to Denmark, in what she calls a ‘little girl’s dream’, to design her own mink coat.

However, PETA were not impressed with her visit to Kopenhagen Fur’s workshop this year.

She said: “I will wear the fur garment when I follow my children to school, when I drink coffee and when I sleep.”

The animal organisation said on their website: “When I was a little girl, I dreamed about growing up to be a rock star. Or maybe a veterinarian. Or a roller-derby queen.

“I didn’t dream about anally electrocuting animals on fur farms, but apparently Brooke Shields did.”

They added: “We understand that when some actors’ careers begin to fade, they’ll do just about anything to stay in the limelight, including appearing in eyelash-growing commercials and starring in short-lived TV shows.

“But, Brooke, did you really want the world to remember you as a ‘fur pimp’ who stares agog at rows of animals’ skins?”

John Corbett has confessed that he kept details about his involvement in the new Sex And The City movie from everyone – including his mother.

“Nobody knew for a long time that I was in the movie,” he said. “People would ask me and I’d say, ‘No, it’s just a rumour’. I felt bad lying to everybody.”

Corbett reprises his role as Carrie’s ex-fiance Aidan in the new movie, which sees the former couple run into one another in Abu Dhabi.

“I even lied to my mother when I went on location to Morocco. I think I told her I was going to Ireland for two weeks on a vacation.

“I had to because my mom’s got a big yapper. She would have called some reporter and said, ‘Guess where my son is?’”

Cate Blanchett says she doesn’t mind what people’s perception of her is, declaring: “I’m so misunderstood!”

The Academy Award-winner who is currently doing the publicity rounds for her new film, Robin Hood, explained: “I’m not focused on what other people think of me.”

“Some people get you and some people don’t, and to spend your life trying to make people understand how deep and complex and varied you are – I think that way lies madness,” Blanchett revealed in an interview with W Magazine, Hollywood Life reports.

The actress also discussed her husband, Andrew Upton’s influence, saying: “My husband keeps me really honest.

“I remember him saying to me after I made Elizabeth, ‘Sweetheart, you’ve probably got about five years’. He was preparing me for the time when the work dries up, as it invariably does.”

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed they couldn’t get anybody to loan them clothes in the show’s early days.

The actress will reprise her role as Carrie Bradshaw alongside Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall later this year when the TV show’s second movie adaptation hits cinemas.

There was no shortage of designers willing to lend clothes to the girls for the new film but Parker admitted that that hasn’t always been the case.

In a new book titled Sex and the City 2: The Stories. The Fashion. The Adventure, Parker said: “We couldn’t get anybody to loan us a sock for 24 hours back then.”

She admitted that the show’s stylist Pat Field used a lot of vintage items in the early days.

She added: “She was so industrious and smart and creative. She would see the way New York really was at the time but use vintage as a big part of Carrie’s wardrobe… Part of it was just a necessity, but it was also a design choice.”

Iron Man 2 star Robert Downey Jr has revealed he and wife Susan stay happily married by ‘venting’ at each other during long drives.

The two-time Oscar nominee, 45, told CBS’s The Early Show: “We’re really well matched.”

When asked what is the best piece of advice that Susan has ever given to him, he replied: “Shut up.”

He added: “We have really good therapeutic tools that we use. Things we do to stay current with each other and to really practice listening and stuff.

“If you’re with your partner driving somewhere that takes more than 10 or 15 minutes, we have a thing where one of us can say to the other one, ‘Go’.

“That means you’re supposed to start venting and just saying whatever comes up.

“Rather if we talk about ourselves in a general way, and saying that we understand the other one’s point of view even if we don’t entirely, it’s very helpful.”

Susan, who married Downey Jr five years ago, was executive producer on the much-anticipated superhero flick Iron Man 2 – the soon-to-be-released sequel to the hugely successful Iron Man.

Brad Pitt has reportedly slammed his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, calling her “pathetic”.

Pitt, currently in Italy with his partner Angelina Jolie and their six children, reportedly also said he was “disgusted” with his former wife.

“Brad feels this is all so desperate,” Us Magazine quotes an insider as saying. “It was a ploy to get his attention.”

Reality star Stephanie Pratt has said her brother Spencer and his wife Heidi Montag ‘don’t want her in their life’.

The 23-year-old has revealed she hasn’t seen her brother and his wife for almost seven months and said they don’t want her in their life any more.

She said to Fancast: “I haven’t talked to Heidi or Spencer since September. I feel so dumb not to know what’s going on with my family.

“But they’ve decided they don’t want me in their life, so I don’t know what’s going on with them.”

Stephanie was not speaking to the reality pair when Heidi had her 10 cosmetic surgery procedures in November and she said her brother Spencer was not around for her when she got arrested for a DUI in October.

She said: “I’m kind of mourning the loss of him. But that’s his choice. He cut a lot of his friends out. I don’t know what’s going on with him.”

The Desperate Housewives creator being sued by Nicollette Sheridan wouldn’t hurt a fly, one of her co-stars has claimed.

Eva Longoria Parker, who plays Gabrielle Solis in the hit US show, described the show’s creator Marc Cherry, 48, as “funny and sweet” and admitted that she was “confused” by Sheridan’s accusations that he had hit her.

During an interview on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show, the Texas-born actress said: “Have you met Marc Cherry? He’s funny and sweet and probably could not harm a fly.

“Nicollette’s a sweet girl too. I’m really confused about the whole thing.”

On Monday, Sheridan, 46, filed her $20m lawsuit against Cherry at Los Angeles Superior Court in California.

The actress, who played Edie Britt in the first five series of the popular ABC show, claimed that in September 2008 she asked Cherry about a line in her script and alleges that he “took her aside and forcefully hit her with his hand across her face and head”.

Sheridan, who reportedly described Cherry’s behaviour as “abusive and appalling”, said that when she complained to the TV network ABC she was ignored and that her character was later killed off in retaliation.

Longoria Parker, 35, reportedly acknowledged that there had been an “incident” on set, but said she had not witnessed it.

She said: “I know they did have a thing on set, I guess it was a couple of years ago… I wasn’t on set when it happened. But apparently this incident happened and she felt that it was wrong.

“I’m trying to get the dirt here on set, but no one’s allowed to talk about it.”

She added: “I love the show so much I would hate for anything to tarnish the reputation of the show. I’d really like all of this to go away.”

Cherry is yet to respond to the allegations.
