Last week we got our first look, in a short sneak tease, of a behind the scenes video from the season 3 set of True Blood. Today, we get to check out another short teaser vid clip to get us in the mood for more True Blood. Be warned, the following article contains some spoilery info about the upcoming season of the show:

The second “Waiting Sucks” promo of “True Blood” has been released and it again uses “on location” footage. This time the stage is given to Sam who is asleep in his car before someone wakes him up with the tip of a gun. Sam’s family is explored in the third season which is premiering on June 13. He gets a younger brother Tommy Mickens who is portrayed by Marshall Allman. Meanwhile, Tony-nominated actress J. Smith-Cameron will play the recurring role as Melinda Mickens aka Sam’s mother. Tommy is a dirty but good looking youngster who works at a Tire Depot in Arkansas while Melinda is described as “dirt-poor, hung-over and trashy-looking”. Creator Alan Ball also said that he would explore the relationship between Bill and Sam. He said the two men who competed for Sookie’s love have an “erotic connection”.

I know some folks were none-too-pleased that the promo clip we saw last week was all-too-short and I’m afraid this clip is very short as well but … something is better than nothing, right? Check out this clip in full, after the jump …

It’s been about a year since Chifundo Mercy James became Madonna‘s 4th child so it’s about time the family make a visit back to Malawi where Mercy came from. Because Mercy‘s family still lives, Maddy vowed to ensure that her little girl would grow up knowing her biological family … it is being reported that Madge and co. are planning a trip to Africa very soon. The fam has already made their way to the UK, I’m guessing they will be making their way to Africa from there:

Madonna is set to fly to Africa to introduce her adopted daughter Mercy to her biological family, according to a U.K. report. The “Material Girl” ‘s four year old spent her formative years in an orphanage in Malawi before the singer took her home last year. The tot’s father James Kambewa launched a legal bid last April to regain custody of his daughter, but gave up his fight just two months later, June 2009. But now he’s preparing to be reunited with little Mercy. Britain’s The Sun claims Madonna is flying the girl, as well as her adopted son David, back to Malawi next week to meet the families they left behind. A source tells the publication, “She promised to take them back to their homeland. She sees it as vital they understand their roots. Mercy’s meeting with her family will be particularly emotional as it’s the first time she’s seen them since last summer.”

Aww … I love this. Madonna does an amazing job of ensuring that all of her children spend time in Africa so that all of her children can learn about their family’s extended culture. Despite the fact that Madonna‘s children will grow up with access to untold wealth, it’s clear that she wants all of her children to learn about and appreciate the lives of those that are less fortunate. Working to keep the familial and cultural ties strong for her youngest children will, hopefully, make sure they grow up well-rounded and very appreciative of their lives. Madonna may be many things … but being a good mother is prolly her greatest achievement.

See … I always knew that Gerard Butler was a cheeky guy … and now, I can prove it. Jennifer Aniston and co-star/rumored beau Gerard Butler were spotted in Paris, France this week doing promo for their new film The Bounty Hunter. Jen and Gerry posed for a photo and he thought it would be funny to, well, finger Jen’s bum as the photo was taken … what he didn’t know was that the pair were being photographed from behind as well:

It’s official … Jennifer Aniston has been Butlered. As Gerard Butler and Jen struck poses from the front, an enterprising photog got the real story from behind. The pics were taken on the Seine River in Paris, during their tour hawking “The Bounty Hunter.” Looks like the hunter caught his prey.

LOL!! I suppose some of you can still believe that these two are “just friends” but this gropey action seems a bit more intimate than normal friendship calls for. Even People magazine is reporting that the pair were lookin’ more lovey-dovey than “just friendly”:

In town to promote The Bounty Hunter, the costars enjoyed a private river cruise on the Seine Saturday evening. Though the single stars have denied romance rumors, a source tells PEOPLE they looked as friendly and flirty as ever on their boat ride. “They were very close,” the source says. “They really warmed up the room” … Aniston and Butler stayed close throughout the night, the source said, “hugging and touching each other” on the cruise, which docked later at the Quai d’Orsay. With Sunday night scheduled for a Champs-Elysées red carpet premiere of their romantic comedy, the costars will then spend several days traveling across Europe.

Folks, they are SO doing it. God bless ‘em … I’m sure they could both use the lovin’. Here’s to a happy trip for the both of them … Bums away!!

Congratulations are in order for Bravo TV reality star Bethenny Frankel, the formerly unlucky in love sole single castmember (ie. never married) of The Real Housewives of NYC, and her new hubby Jason Hoppy who got themselves hitched in Manhattan yesterday! Bethenny, knocked up and fabulous, finally said I Do to the man of her dreams … which was NOT filmed for airing on RHONYC later in the season. We’re gonna have to wait until Frankel‘s own spin-off show, Bethenny’s Getting Married, debuts on Bravo TV later this year. Here are a couple photos of the just-weds as they made their way out of their boisterous wedding reception last night and some deets from the affair:

Bravo, Bethenny! Real Housewives of New York City’s Bethenny Frankel and her beau Jason Hoppy were married at the Four Seasons in New York on Sunday. “I’m a real housewife!” Frankel tweeted on Monday morning. “On way to honeymoon. best night of my life. your messages were so beautiful & sentimental. have a great week tweeps!” The couple’s guests included Frankel’s castmates Alex McCord and Ramona Singer and Today show co-host Hoda Kotb. Singer tells PEOPLE the wedding was “amazing – the Rolls Royce of weddings!” Guests dined on lobster ravioli, sirloin steak and fish, and a red velvet wedding cake. The night “was full of emotion and laughter – a beautiful wedding,” said a friend of Frankel’s. Frankel, 39, who is seven months pregnant, has been with Hoppy, a businessman, since late 2008. She found out she was pregnant last October, and wanted to get married before becoming a mom. She said at the time: “I got engaged, we got pregnant, and we’re gonna get married. It’s a miracle.” Bravo’s cameras were on hand at the wedding to capture the occasion for Frankel’s upcoming Housewives spin-off, Bethenny’s Getting Married.

I honestly never understood how Bethenny got cast on the show in the first place … she’s was not a housewife at all and yet, she was cast on a show about housewives. Still, she’s among my fave characters on the show. I’m glad she’s finally coming into her own … it’s about time she stop being the “underdog” and become the star she’s meant to be. Congrats to her and hubby Jason … next up, the birth of their baby. Bethenny‘s life seems really great right now … I hope she enjoys it and wish the Hoppys a lifetime of happiness! Mazel Tov!
