CALIFORNICATION Episode 12 Season Finale: Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be:

EDIT/ April 2:

That was pretty intense!

It was sweet for about 5 minutes with Marcy and Charlie  being thrown back together due to their significances' cheating on them with each other plus the long-anticipated reunion of Hank and  Karen before Hank's 'one drink' with psycho ex-girlfrind, firestarter "Carrie' (Nataliee Zea) threw a HUGE monkeywrench into things.

Californication: Marry Him [VIDEO]:

Becca tells Hank that Tyler proposed.

In the Season 5 finale, Hank discovers the bartender at a local watering hole is his late friend Lew Ashby and wonders if he's in Hell. Richard makes a startling announcement about Hank and Karen. Hank tries to make things right with Becca, but her news about Tyler leaves him stunned. On the set of "Santa Monica Cop," Sam's jealousy and fondness for firearms give Charlie an opportunity to show how much he loves his best friend and number-one client; Hank's arsonist ex-girlfriend surprises him with a way for them to be together forever. (SHOWTIME)

Would Hank's staying with Karen be the death of her?

Just who is going to take a bullet in CALIFORNICATION episode 12? Could Hank's dream be a prophecy?

Later, he goes to the movie set, where Charlie proves how much of a friend he is by almost taking a bullet for him, literally.

CALIFORNICATION - Episode 5.03 - 'Boys & Girls' PROMO SCREENCAPS:

Californication continues to be witty and irreverent with just enough humanity tossed into the mix to ensure that we care about the characters. I still don't know how David Duchovny does it. He did the same with his character, 'Agent Mulder' in the X-Files. He was kind of an ass but a wry, witty ass and against better judgment, we liked him--a lot. The same goes for his character on Californication, writer 'Hank Moody.' He does some incredibly selfish, immature things but his heart seems to be in the right place and there's no questioning his love of his daughter and her mother--no matter how weirdly he displays that love.

Californication: Self Preservation

After Hank finishes his script for Santa Monica cop, Charlie asks him to say in L.A.

Californication: Long for Companionship

Things start to heat up when Hank is asked to show Kali a night on the town

Full Synopsis: Episode 5.03 - 'Boys and Girls' - Hank delivers a completed draft of "Santa Monica Cop" to Samurai Apocalypse but his attempts to leave town are once again thwarted when he's asked to show a night on the town to Kali, his "acquaintance" from the flight to Los Angles; Tyler crashes with Karen and Becca while he recovers from his injuries; things get unprofessional fast when Charlie is saved from a serious parental crisis by his son's nanny, Lizzie.

Next on Episode 3 Hank delivers a script and tries to leave town but events keep him in L.A.

'True Blood' Season 4 Premiere: Red Carpet Pics at The Dome at Arclight Hollywood:

 
Everyone in the regular cast of True Blood here at the Dome at the Arclight Hollywood season 4 premiere event looks really nice of course, but pretty much themselves (meaning their real-life selves) except Sam Trammell ('Sam Merlotte') who, though he often has the lovely Missy Yager at his side, has not to my knowledge appeared by her side whilst she was blooming, soon to be a mother! Congrats to both of them!

This photo is just the best!

 Todd Lowe 'True Blood' Season 4 Premiere: Red Carpet:

I just wanted to again note how much Todd Lowe transforms himself into the character 'Terry Bellfleuer', the shell-shocked Gulf War vet-short order cook on True Blood. "

He is one fine-looking man and I think more pics of him---maybe in his band would be really nice in addition to the MANY shots of the "big three." Love them too, but oi, they are everywhere and there are only so many poses and facial gestures they can make for variety (and it's been 4 years!)  So more Todd Lowe, please?

Finally, for looking her age (early 20's) and adorable:

Be Part of Something BIG - Facing the Atlantic - Face The World - Helping Disfigured Children Worldwide:

It's been said before but it bears repeating, the True Blood cast is among the most generous bunch of 'creatives'  in show business. Despite their many commitments including shooting their hit HBO supernatural vampire melodrama True Blood, thespian husband Stephen Moyer ('Bill Compton') and wife, Anna Paquin ('Sookie Stackhouse') are working to raise funds for a cause you may be familiar with and if not, once you hear about it I'm sure you'll agree is extremely worthwhile.

Below are the formal details  but suffice to say this cause can't be construed as anything but  hugely important and all the folks making it possible from the adventurers to the bidders on the auctions to the following websites who reach out and do their best to serve the cause are to be commended and sincerely appreciated:

True Blood Season 4: Look Up! Up in the Sky! It's 2 Vampires, a Werewolf & a Faery-Telepath! #trueblood #tbwithdrawal

 

Look up high, specifically on the side of the 9000 building along Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California and you will see a quartet of sexy supernaturals including vampires 'Eric' (Alexander Skarsgård) and 'Bill' (Stephen Moyer), werewolf 'Alcide' ( Joe Manganiello) and faery-telepath 'Sookie' (Anna Paquin).

It is pretty apparent that all three guys are into Ms. Stackhouse but which of the potential/former suitor(s) will she choose? You'll have to tune in to HBO's True Blood on June 26 to begin to get the answer. Until then, keep looking around!

True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård Looks HOT Both On & In June GQ (PHOTOS) #trueblood #GQ #eric

With eyes 'as deep as a glacial fjord' ASkars on the COVER and in the JUNE GQ is a sight you do not want to miss: 

(On newsstands nationwide May 24, 2011.)

See all the Skarsgård you can handle when True Blood returns to HBO on June 26, 2011!

'Out of the misty north there arrived in Hollywood a fair-haired stranger: Skarsgård the Younger, Alexander the Tall, son of Stellan the Comparatively Famous.

 

With his totally convincing American accent and eyes deep as a glacial fjord, he won over fans of HBO's True Blood. Now, with three major films opening soon, Alexander Skarsgård is poised to conquer the rest of us.'

 

Pretty heady stuff, no? And the accompanying interview is funny and surprisingly touching and insightful. (Read an insider's recounting of the filming of a rape scene Skarsgård has in the upcoming, 'Straw Dogs' with Kate Bosworth, rumoured to be his off-screen lady-love, that is incredibly powerful and character-revealing). Any true ASkars fans (or fans of fantastically great-looking Swedish men) will want to check it out.

There are many more gorgeous photos as well.

 

This is my favourite quote from the full GQ article:

In True Blood's ever expanding ensemble of fairies, werewolves, shape-shifters, telepaths, werecats, telefairies, vamp-shifters, and God knows what else, his Eric has become a solid center—the only character to display that essential quality shared by great HBO antiheroes past (think Tony Soprano or Omar Little or Al Swearengen): genuine unpredictability. Skarsgård's minutely calibrated deadpan somehow makes him the show's funniest, most cerebral, and most ferally frightening personage.

"He does this thing with his eyes," says creator and show-runner Alan Ball.

Californication: Relationship Conversation  

Hank and Abby discuss their relationship.

I don't know if it is because this little clip is (of necessity) out of context, but it seems an awkward scene to me. It could be that it is meant to be awkward as does Hank, besides having a relationship with his daughter and his ex (and  bf, Charlie), even have real relationships?

Specifically with women he's 'dating,' Hank doesn't get that serious, does he? (I ask, as 1. it doesn't seem that he does and 2. this is my 1st season watching Californication.)

The thing that is throwing me a bit about Hank and Abby is that neither seem particularly in need of anything deeper than what they have, which let's face it (excluding the attorney-client thing), is that they are f**k buddies. Should be interesting to find out where they end up.

Hey! That's Jenny from "All My Children"! I haven't seen seen her her since then. The years have been kind. ~Her Brother

Yep! She's gotten better looking and she always was cute. You watched All My Children? I've always sort of followed her career and she's done okay (except she's had a DUI or two. *ouch*) So here's an excuse for a bit of Jenny Gardner a/k/a Kim Delaney (who happens to have been born on my two years-old birthday (think for a sec), formerly of the soap opera AMC on American TV network, ABC.*

Update 2011: As of 2006, Kim had again entered alcohol rehab. The mid- '00's were not so great for her.

Poor, dead Jenny. Anything to get away from that drip of a husband, Greg. *shudder*

True Blood - Rutina Wesley: Cutest Smile Ever?

TRUE BLOOD'S "Tara," Rutina Wesley, and husband Jacob Fishel:

I'm not usually one to go for "on-the-street photographs" of True Blood (or any other) actors during their off time--unless they are clearly not being ambushed--as is the case here with the adorable Rutina Wesley (Tara Thornton). (Does anyone have a prettier smile than she? I thought not!) I'd not even considered that she might be married as I've not seen her pictured previously with anyone identified as her spouse. But here's pictorial evidence that the True Blood cutie goes home to a cutie of her own--husband Jacob Fishel, who she is pictured with shopping in Hollywood just yesterday (2.12.10). Big thanks to source True Blood's Nest.
