Vampires have bitten the nation! With Twilight being dubbed as the next Harry Potter, until the second movie in the series, New Moon, comes out, people will have to settle for season two of True Blood, a vampire series on HBO. Anna Paquin stars, and according to various entertainment websites, she'll be showing lots more skin. Photos of a topless Paquin filming a scene have been leaked, and it's rumored even more of her will be bared during the season.

Speaking of baring skin, Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York showed a little too much in a sheer black jumpsuit at the Apollo Theater 75th Anniversary Gala the week of June 13th. We guess now that the show has wrapped, she really wants to put herself out there.

And finally, Rihanna is getting ready to testify against her ex-boyfriend (and rumored current boyfriend, according to gossip sites), Chris Brown, in his assault trial. The singer will be in LA Monday, June 22 to testify at the preliminary hearing. It looks like Brown is already trying to clean up his public image, however. He's allegedly hired a crisis management company called Sitrick and Company to help reverse his public image. Everything he's done thus far, from his appearance at the NBA final game with a Rihanna-lookalike to his video on YouTube has been the carefully calculated work of the firm. But even though making more tame public appearances might make the trial fade into the background for some people, we're sure it's not working with Rihanna. The preliminary hearing should be interesting.

Sad news. Actress Lucy Gordon has taken her own life in her apartment in Paris, France on Wednesday, May 20. The British star, who appeared in the movies Spider-Man 3, Frost and Serendipity, and had just finished playing Jane Birkin in the biopic Serge Gainsboug, was found dead just two days before her 29th birthday. Those close to the actress believe she was devastated after the recent loss of a close friend in the U.K.

Gordon was found at her apartment at la Rue des Petites Ecuries after a male friend alerted a nearby shopkeeper. An unnamed detective tells the Daily Telegraph Online, "There were no suspicious circumstances. It appears that the young woman took her own life." However, an investigation was opened and police questioned the male friend who reportedly found her and alerted the shopkeeper.

In movie news, "Ghostbusters" is coming close to having a third movie made, and it's rumored that Dan Akroyd wants Alyssa Milano or Eliza Dushku cast as a female Ghostbuster. Aykroyd told the LA Times that he'd love to see Dushku or Milano as a female Ghostbuster, called both actresses "amazing," and said with a female Ghostbuster, it would be "a passing-of-the-torch movie ... to a new generation." Akroyd also revealed the third movie would have a five-member crew, and that while they'll certainly feature the original characters, it will also focus on the new set.

We'll end this blog with happy news - It's a girl for Chad Lowe and girlfriend *Kim Painter*! The couple welcomed a daughter, Mabel Painter Lowe, last Saturday, May 16th in Los Angeles. Lowe, 41, and Painter announced they were expecting in late January. The couple began dating in January 2007, after Lowe finalized his divorce to Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank.

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady attended the Costume Institute Gala last Tuesday, but aside from her gorgeous gown, all eyes were on her wedding ring. Bundchen actually opened up about her two weddings to the New England Patriots' quarterback. The couple said their vows in a small and intimate Catholic ceremony in LA at dusk with only immediate family attending, including Tom's son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, and also in a super-secret ceremony last month in Costa Rica. Gisele wore a strapless gown by Dolce & Gabbana, which also made her three dogs' lace collars, which they wore.

"We tried very hard to keep it private. Oh my God, you have no idea how hard that was," Bundchen told reporters at the Costume Institute Gala. "I think family is the base to everything. I have a lot to be grateful for but I think family is definitely number one."

Bundchen might be newly married, but Sean Penn and *Robin Wright Penn*'s marriage might be over...again. Star Magazine reports that Sean filed for a legal separation from his wife in April, and in the meantime, he's been spotted getting cozy with actress Natalie Portman. The two allegedly met after serving on the Cannes Film Festival jury. Portman is 27 and Penn is 48; not that age matters. But does it matter if one person is married when you start to date? Portman and Penn reportedly started up their love affair while Penn was still married back in March. Star reported the two had dinner at Sunset Tower Hotel's Tower Bar and were "constantly touching each other." After dinner, they took elevators that went to the hotel's spa and private rooms.

What does Ms. Britney Spears demand for her hotel room while traveling on tour? Among her requests, according to USA Today, a room that has "never" been smoked in, fresh flowers, humidifiers in all areas, Marilyn Monroe movies on DVD, a variety of current magazines, chick-lit novels and 100-watt light bulbs, among other things. She won't need special pillows because she will bring her own. And security allegedly sleeps outside her room! All in the name of protecting the starlet, we guess.
