Vampire and werewolf join cast of True Blood


Two more hunks are added for the next season of HBO series "True Blood".

Newcower Theo Alexander and "Ugly Betty" boy-next-door Grant Bowler are lucky enough to grab the spotlight on Alan Ball's vampire series.

Alexander will play Talbot, a very beautiful gay vampire who is the boyfriend of Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare), the vampire king of Mississippi. Talbot loves to cook even though vampire inherently lacks cooking talent.

On the other hand, Bowler's character is Coot, who is a werewolf, the ringleader of a biker gang.

Alexander has appeared on series like "Chuck", "Pushing Daisies" and "Crime Scene Investigation: New York". He has recently booked a role for the feature "Losing Control."

Bowler, a New Zealander, has had a role on ABC's drama "Ugly Betty".

Marshall Allman, meanwhile, will play Sam’s long-lost younger brother.

The production of the third season of True Blood started in Los Angeles last Wednesday.

Int'l game show Ba Ba Boom airs on Eat Bulaga


2waytraffic International, a Dutch distributor, has sold its listening skill-based game show format, Ba Ba Boom, to local company Tape in the Philippines for 65 installments slated to air on the world's longest-running noontime show, Eat Bulaga, aired on GMA-7.

The format is simpler than any show that requires talent or knowledge. Featured in the game show are ten models standing behind the Ba Ba Boom table. Their gloves-worn hands are placed flat on the surface. Three of those hands hide three coins. The objective is simply to have the contestants eliminate the hands without coins.

In unison, the models bang their hands twice with their fists and once with their hands lying flat on the table for everyone to hear.

The contestants and the viewers can hear the sound of the coins clinking on the table.

Using the sound, the contestant must slowly eliminate the hands that have no coins. If they get rid of a coin, then they lose the game. But if they eliminate all of the empty hands, they win the pot prize.

Developed by Sony Pictures Television International-owned 2waytraffic, Ba Ba Boom is shown in 23 countries across three continents.
