True Blood's Joe Manganiello Shirtless: Is That Really an Eight-Pack?!

Another day, another set of sexy pics of True Blood stud Joe Manganiello.

Don't get us wrong—we definitely not complaining.

While the latest may be a fashion spread for GQ, it's not the clothes that caught our eye...

Manganiello is once again showing off his perfectly sculpted bod. In one shot, he dons red Loden Dager swim trunks and an unbuttoned Giorgio Armani dress shirt in front of a topless bikini model, while in another, he's only wearing a pair of 7 for Mankind jeans.

But the 34-year-old actor insists his fine physique is just part of his job. "If Alcide was described as weighing 300 pounds with a comb-over and missing his front teeth, that's what I would look like," he tells the mag.

Luckily, that isn't the case.

"Once they yell action, you're a werewolf and you're not thinking about it," he says of stripping down. "But before, there's a boom guy crouched behind you at ass level."

How do we get that job?

I have changed my mind about this one - Check Out The International Poster For The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Perez Hilton Filed under: Film Flickers > Daniel Craig

If French isn't your first language, that says, "Evil will be hunted by evil." Dun, dun, dun!!!
This is the first promotional poster released for the highly-anticipated flick, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. As dark and twisty as the trailer was (watch it HERE), we're really impressed with this image and how much Daniel Craig is starting to grow on us as Mikael Blomkvist.
And Rooney Mara looks awesome!
Thoughts???

RIP Clarice Taylor

By Rennie Dyball and Debra Lewis-Boothman for People.com

Clarice Taylor, who played Bill Cosby's mother on The Cosby Show, died on Monday at age 93, her rep tells PEOPLE.

She succumbed to heart failure and was surrounded by family when she passed.




Taylor earned an Emmy nomination in 1986 for her recurring role as Dr. Cliff Huxtable's mother, Anna Huxtable, on the long-running sitcom.

A performer on stage, radio, TV and film for over five decades, the actress was a member of the New York stage group, the Negro Ensemble Company, and helped to pave the way for African-American actors in the early 1960s.

Her own big break came that decade when she landed the role of Harriet, David's grandmother, on Sesame Street. She also starred alongside Liza Minelli in 1970's Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon and played Grady's Cousin Emma on Sanford and Son.

Taylor is survived by her two sons, William and James, and her five grandchildren.

Lena Endre and Amy Adams Added to Paul Thomas Anderson’s Untitled Religious Film [Updated]

Paul Thomas Anderson is soon to shoot his untitled religious drama formerly called The Master, with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix starring and Laura Dern, Jesse Plemons and David Warshofsky supporting. The last two were just announced yesterday, and today we’ve got one more name for the film. That would be Lena Endre, likely famous to audiences in the US as the actress who played Erika Berger in the original The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Update: Amy Adams has now officially signed on as well, playing the wife of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s character. Original article follows.

The Playlist confirmed her involvement in PTA’s film, as she had been mentioned as a possible cast member last month. Also mentioned at the time were Madisen Beaty and Amy Adams, though we don’t know if either will end up in the real cast. (Edit: Obviously, the update to this article erases doubt about Amy Adams.) We don’t know anything about Lena Endre’s role in the movie, but just knowing the movie is happening is enough for now. We can wait to get the specifics. All we’ve got right now is this:

Script finds Anderson regular Philip Seymour Hoffman playing a charismatic intellectual who, after witnessing the horrors of WWII, creates a belief system designed to catch on with other lost souls in post-war America. Joaquin Phoenix and Laura Dern co-star, with the former playing an alcoholic drifter who becomes his right-hand man and disciple. The tenants of the faith closely mirror those of Scientology.
