Kiwi actress and
True Blood
vamp
Anna Paquin
has a very important message she'd like to share with us all: Despite fevered gum-flapping to the contrary, she's
not
pregnant; although her uterus thanks us for all the attention.
Let's rewind.
Celebrity gossip blogs were buzzing last week after Paquin was
snapped sporting a baggy dress
in Beverly Hills. Snitches were convinced the star had a ciabatta in the oven. But her rep finally put paid to the pesky rumours and issued the obligatory "not pregnant" denial. Case closed.
Although publicists are trained mouthpieces on a payroll, hired to bend an inconvenient truth at their clients' behest, we're inclined to believe that Paquin is indeed not in the pudding club.
But don't take our word for it; let's hear it straight from the horse's mouth, as it were.
Speaking to reporters at a
Nylon
magazine party in West Hollywood this week, Paquin revealed: "
My uterus is really flattered that everyone cares
," she quipped.
"
But sorry, no occupants
."
We couldn't have put it better ourselves.
Meanwhile, her fiancé, hunky
True Blood
co-star
Stephen Moyer
, has opened up about how he proposed to the Kiwi lass.
Speaking to
AccessHollywood.com
, Brit Moyer said the hit TV show inspired the loved-up pair's trip to the location where he popped the question.
"There was a song in the first season,
White Sandy Beach in Hawaii
, which was kind of funny and ironic... [It] all started out as a joke and then we decided to go to Hawaii with my kids this year," he explained.
Gushing Moyer, dad to
Lilac
, 5, and
Billy
, 8, from prior relationships, added that he asked Paquin to marry him "on a white sandy beach in Hawaii."
"Actually," he added, "it wasn't quite white."
And just when we thought this romance couldn't get any slushier, out pops the gem that Moyer lended a hand in designing Paquin's engagement ring.
"A friend of mine is the jeweller, Kathy Waterman," he said. "So I went to Kathy and we did some designs."
Form an orderly queue, ladies.
No hurry
The couple got
, but Paquin says she has no plans to rush down the aisle just yet.
E! News
caught up with the star at the
Nylon
party and asked her about the bling on her ring finger, and when the big day was.
"We're OK with just the engagement right now," she dished. "There's no plans as of yet. We're in no hurry!"
Nude, not rude
The lovely Paquin graces the front cover of the current issue of
Nylon
magazine, between the covers of which she talks openly about her flesh-flashing in vamp series
True Blood
.
Fact: When it comes down to disrobing and baring all on TV, Paquin says she has absolutely no problem with it.
"I don't think a naked body is particularly shocking or interesting," she said.
"It's not the culture I was raised in," she added. "I was not brought up in the United States. I don't share the [attitude] that you can have graphic violence, but - God forbid - you see someone's nipples."
The actress, 27, says she's not bothered about baring her breasts.
"It's like, I'm sorry, maybe there are a lot of women who keep their bras on while they have sex...I don't happen to be one of them," she concluded.
Probably helps that the man she's sharing her nudity with is his her fiancé.
It hurts so good
We're huge
True Blood
fans over here (not that it shows) and can't wait for the second season to start on September 2. Yep, we're so ready for seconds.
And to whet our unquenchable appetite the good folk at Prime are re-broadcasting the nail-biting conclusion to season one this evening (Wednesday) at 8:30pm.
And there's more...we've got our mitts on a couple of videos starring
True Blood
's creator
Alan Ball
, where he waxes lyrical about the show, and most importantly, dishes out some teasing hints about what's to come in season 2.
Suck in your guts, guys, and feast your eyes on this lot:

They say you can't keep a good one down for long...
And here she is.

There's hope for her yet.

Not a good look.
Samantha who?
Someone might want to jump-start
Jude Law
's memory.
The Brit actor and baby daddy to wannabe actress
Samantha Burke'
s love child, currently starring in
Hamlet
on London's West End, apparently had no recollection of who she was before the scandal broke.
A snitch said: “Jude didn't even remember (Samantha). She hasn't seen him since New York. They've only been in contact through their lawyers."
Hamlet
is about to transfer to Broadway, New york, from next month - which also happens to be where Burke resides.
Given his amnesia, we doubt a reconcilliation is on the cards.
Lip syncher
Reality TV star
Heidi Montag
, for no other reason than to pimp her burgeoning ego, performed at the Miss Universe 2009 competition.
Needless to say she lip-synched her way through the performance. Although she disagrees: "I was as live as live can be," Montag said.
Her hubby
Spencer Pratt
agreed: "It was the livest performance in history."
What do you think?
Quote of the day
“I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, ‘Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini. I think I look good for my age. I am not 25; I am 43. That feels like a big pressure, especially when the
National Enquirer
is dying to get a picture,”
