I wrote earlier this week about another True Blood star appearing on the cover of a magazine in a bikini, now this time, the main star of True Blood, Anna Paquin is appearing on the cover of Self Magazine in a bikini. In the July 2010 issue of Self Magazine you can see Anna Paquin rocking a pretty hot bikini and snacking on some pretty delectable looking watermelon. The 27 year old star of HBO’s True Blood also gave a interview to the Magazine.

When asked if Paquin enjoyed the messy scenes in True Blood, she said, "I get a kick out of it, but the actual blood makes me want to gag! It’s some kind of sweet corn syrup, I think, with an aftertaste that’s less than pleasant after the 10th take. In season one, they asked me if I wanted sugar or sugar-free. I was, like, “Sugar-free blood? Sounds great!” Big mistake. Because then it only tastes like the latex tubes it’s coming through."

True Blood star Natasha Alam has posed nude for the July edition of Playboy magazine – thanks to her co-star Alexander Skarsgard. Uzbekistan-born Natasha Alam has revealed that shooting nude sex scenes with Skarsgard helped her in Playboy photo shoot, reports Fox News. “I’d never done nudity. I had to overcome a few things in my head to do it,” Natasha told the magazine. “Then here comes Alexander Skarsgard. He drops his robe, and he’s not wearing a sock-nothing. He’s just totally out there, walking around as if nothing’s going on. I was like, if he can do it, I can do it,” she said.

Natasha Alam is the newest addition to the cast of the HBO. Alam has some what of an interesting background. In 1996 Natasha met Amir Ebrahim Pahlavi Alam, who is the grandson of the former Shah of Iran. The couple married in New York in 1998 and divorced in 2005. During and after her marriage to the grandson of the Shah, she worked on such shows as CSI, NYPD Blue, Nip/Tuck, The Unit and Entourage. She also played the recurring role of ‘Ava’, a Forrester model, in The Bold and the Beautiful from 2004 to 2007. Films she has appeared in include the 2007 horror Shadow Puppets and the 2008 comedy The Women. I look quite forward to see Natasha Alam in the 2010 July issue of Playboy.
