True Blood recap, season 2, episode 1

Monday, June 15, 2009

Well, the writers at HBO seem to have crawled into my head to give me what I love: sex, action, blood and Lafayette (at least for now). For that, I am eternally grateful.

But more on all of that in good time. Let’s do like the Good Witch says and start from the beginning. The episode kicks off with Tara and Sookie having a match of wills to see who can scream the loudest over the discovery of a dead body in Officer Andy’s car. We quickly find out that the corpse doesn’t belong to Lafayette—like we all not-so-secretly expect—but can be claimed by Miss Jeanette, the woman who exorcised the demons living in Tara and her mother. That can all be summed up with this: sad face for the lying, cheating clerk at the drug store. Happy face for Lafayette.

Next we’re taken over to the Bon Temps police station where the questioning begins. Tara and her mother are both there sharing memories and having not-so-maternal moments. Let’s suffice it to say that Mama sees this as a personal challenge and another reason to pray, prey and be condescending. Tara sees it as a chance to come clean, which she tries to do. She confesses that she knew for a while that Miss Jeanette was a fake—something that is not welcomed to mama. But before Tara can pull another self-depreciating moment with her mom, in swoops Maryann with some jaw-dropping insults. “Devoid of human compassion” is the nicest thing that crosses her lips.

Next we get a little look at what the past two weeks have been like for Jason. The Bible, brainwashing and blood have all been key words. And now, under the guidance of the much-loved Rev. Steve Newlin, Jason is considering dropping more money than he’s ever had on a church camp. A church camp that promises to turn him into a vampire-hating, Jesus-loving Right Winger. Woot, woot. (More on where the money comes from in just a second.)

Next, things start getting interesting. We have our shape shifting Sam having flashbacks to his younger, more naked years where he was prone to breaking and entering, robbery and sex with strange women. There’s also something about a headless statue and an orgasmic, vibrating Maryann. Why she flickers like a 1980s Daewoo TV, I know not, but I hope to find out soon. All we are privy to for now is that she’s coming back into Sam’s life, and she doesn’t want the cash that his kleptomaniac self took 20 years ago.

Over at the Land of Maryann and False Hopes and Dreams, Tara is still playing with her boy toy, as long as man servant Carl isn’t serving up towels. And when he does—at a most inopportune moment—Maryann is quick to lay the smack down. Literally. To the point that Carl hits the ground. Remind me not to mess with her.

In another fantasy land not so far away, Bill continues his training of protégé Jessica. Things still aren’t cozy, but they are getting a little better. He plays bartender and forces his new vamp to find a mix of Tru Blood that doesn’t taste like “ass.” All of this is news to Sookie, who comes over one day after work to uncover the new redhead living down the street, among other interesting discoveries. Her second revelation: That Bill took out her great uncle Bartlett. You remember him; he was the creepy wheelchair-bound guy who once upon a time molested Sookie. (His meager bankroll is what’s sending Jason to church.) Somehow Sookie is upset by the news that Chester the Molster is dead, and that Bill has the blood on his hands. Something about valuing human life, yadda yadda yadda. But a well-timed bit of groveling on Bill’s behalf keeps Sookie from walking out forever. That moment turns into crazy hot vampire sex, where Anna Paquin gets naked. Let me repeat that. Anna Paquin got naked. NAKED. HBO, I can’t imagine what you paid for that, but I don’t doubt that it was worth it in ratings.

Anyway, I’ve saved the best for last. Back in Bon Temps we get a few flashes of where Lafayette has been kept for the past two weeks. It’s not a pretty place. There are chains, and a cog and slave labor. We know there are vampires, but the reason for the internment isn’t clear right away. After one of the captives makes some smart comment about busting out, in comes Eric—blond, scary, vampire Eric. He mouths off something fierce about justice for the three brethern who were killed in the last season, and we can assume that’s why these folks are being kept in the dungeon. I’m assuming this is the basement of Fangtasia, but I can’t tell for sure. Anyone know?

OK, so those are the highlights: Lafayette is alive and being tortured. Sookie and Bill are still in love and still biting. Jessica is still around, and slightly less annoying. Maryann=creepy. Sam is a naked thief. Tara is horny and in need of approval, and Miss Jeanette is dead. Where that will go next week, we’ll have to wait and see.

Lakers parade costs to reach to reach around $2 million

Following the Los Angeles Lakers 99-86 victory in Game 5 Sunday over the Orlando Magic in the 4-1 series, league MVP Kobe Bryant has captured the Lakers’ fifteenth NBA title. “This really feels like a dream,” Bryant told reporters. “This doesn’t even feel real right now. It’s unbelievable.”

As the Magic’s defeat silences Orlando, Los Angeles is preparing for a three-hour celebration leading fans from the Staples Center to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The police union and some residents, however, have complained of the celebration’s cost. “We can't afford to cover the costs,” City Councilwoman Jan Perry told the Los Angeles Times. “How could we make a decision about people's jobs and then sponsor the parade?” In spite of this, it is unlikely that these concerns will prevent the city’s many basketball fans from paying tribute to the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Times reports that expenses, split between the team and the city, are expected to reach around $2 million, part of which will go toward renting the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Mark Szabo, spokesman for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced that the city would pay for police, transportation and general staff. Responding to critics of the price tag, Mayor Szabo said it was “untenable” not to have a parade. Nevertheless, some city officials have said that a victory party would cost too much at a time when the city is struggling to cut expenditures. “We can't afford to cover the costs,” City Councilwoman Jan Perry told the Los Angeles Times. “How could we make a decision about people's jobs and then sponsor the parade?

If all goes as planned, the city of Los Angeles will host a victory parade on Wednesday June 17th. An exact start time has not been set, but it will likely begin around midday

Leaked photos of Meghan Fox- Fox relies on Karma

The publication of topless photos of Hollywood actress Megan Fox has not upset her enough to sue anyone. She has decided not to take any action against the person who has leaked these pictures to the tabloid. Her believe in Karma made her take such a decision. Though she now seems cool over the issue it did initially stir her. She was shocked to see her topless photos from her upcoming movie Jennifer’s Body online. The ‘Transformers’ star had then considered taking legal action.

The change in her decision was brought about by a second glance she took at the photos. She realized the photos were not that disturbing as it earlier appeared to be. The reason being the use of silicon stickers that covered her private parts. She has said “I had booby stickers on. They make these silicone stickers that go on over your nipple.” Fox was further quoted by Contactmusic saying “If I’d been actually topless, I would have sued someone… I know who, and I never did anything about it. It’s her karma to deal with, not mine.”

However this controversy over Megan Fox’s nude photos splashed across was waiting to happen. Her ‘Transformers’ co star Michael Papajohn was quoted saying that he wished she put more clothes on. He had earlier said to Fox News at the Palm Pre launch event at Hollywood’s Raleigh Studios “I can honestly tell you she’s beautiful, but my buddies are still calling me and emailing me going, ‘Hey, how hot is she?’ and the verdict is I stayed in character the whole time.” He further added “So I just looked at her from a father’s point of view and I just kept saying in my mind, ‘Oh Megan, I wish you’d put more clothes on’. But I did text my buddies back and said ‘good genes, what can I say?”

Demi Moore Bush Picture Becomes Hot Internet Search Phrase

Demi Moore Bush picture somehow became the top search item on the Web the last two days. A Demi Moore Bush picture might make one believe at first that Demi Moore met with President Bush somehow. But there is a cruder meaning to a Demi Moore Bush picture, of course. In this case, the idea. Demi Moore Bush Picture Becomes Hot Internet Search Phrase of searching for a Demi Moore Bush picture came from television, as Comedy Central's newest Internet based show gave tips to Web users everyone on how to find a particularly noteworthy "Demi Moore Bush picture"

Comedy Central's new show Tosh.0 has comedian Daniel Tosh surfing the Internet for embarrassing, noteworthy items that Internet users can find and enjoy. In the second episode of Tosh.0 this Thursday, Tosh sent his viewers on a Google search for the term "Demi Moore George Bush"

Tosh then suggested to viewers to take the "George" out of the search term and see what happens. Many people did just that, turning "Demi Moore Bush" into the hot search item on Google.

When searching for this term, the first result that comes up is a webpage called "Downtown Alleys" with an article called "Demi Moore has a huge bush" The picture was posted in 2005, and is a picture of Demi Moore from the 1980's, with one breast exposed, as well as full frontal exposure as well.

The shot of the full frontal in question - and the size of the search item in question - shows just why Daniel Tosh wanted his viewers to see it. And it appears he either has millions of viewers already, or that his precious Internet is quick to spread the word.

Demi Moore is no stranger to nudity or having fans see her nude, since she seemed to get naked at some point for half her films while she was a big star in the 90's. But it wasn't usually to this extent, and didn't reveal quite so much as what this picture from the 80's did.

The Internet has been a useful tool for Moore and husband Ashton Kutcher, given the massive following they have on Twitter. But this time, the Internet was used to dig up something embarrassing on Moore, or at least Daniel Tosh did with his Demi Moore Bush picture tips.
