by JEN BYCK
Sookie and Vampire Bill: Is it True Blood or True Love?With the countdown on for the second season of True Blood (PVR Alert: HBO Canada, Sunday, June 14, 9pm EST), vampire fever is in the air. In fact, it’s been hanging like a thick, brooding fog for months now, thanks to a little phenomenon, Twilight.
Ah, Twilight – quivering teen girls sitting next to their quivering adult moms, both cooing (and then desperately pretending they weren’t) the moment Edward Cullen took the screen.

Rufus Humphrey's Celebrity iTunes Playlist
For those who are not Gossip Girl fans, I apologize – this entire soundtrack will seem like one big inside joke to you. Instead, just think of it as an early 90’s rock flashback and ignore the quips (or join in the fun – Gossip Girl airs Monday nights on The CW and A-Channel at 8pm EST.). But for those who are already familiar with GG's Rufus Humphrey - a man who is proud to be both a dad and an aging lead singer of the fictional alt-rock band, Lincoln Hawk - this Bud’s for you.
