On her hit show True Blood, Anna Paquin loves vampires, and in real life she apparently loves men and women. The Oscar-winning actress recorded a public service announcement for the True Colors Fund, a nonprofit organization founded by Cyndi Lauper to support the LGBT community. Paquin makes the declaration at the beginning of the video, which also includes appearances by gay celebrities like Elton John, Wanda Sykes and Clay Aiken.
In sports, the most valuable guys are the people that can play multiple positions. We all remember Jared Dudley's amazing ability to guard every position on D and go both inside and outside on offense for the Eagles (editor's note: probably should have used the Magic Johnson playing center here but I really don't like that guy). We were reminded of the value of versatility again last year when Mike Lowell's leg was hanging off and Youk was able to switch seamlessly between first and third. And who could forget when Patriot great Troy Brown switched sides of the ball and played nickel back for Belichick (and did a pretty good job to boot). The reason I bring these examples up is because Anna Paquin is showing us that versatility is just as important in the cut throat world of television. She already became the first and only women to rock the gap tooth smile to perfection, but Anna knew that wasn't enough to carry True Blood through its third season. For those of you that haven't been watching, the show is basically a vampire soap opera with a soft core porn touch. But they've pretty much done it all when it comes to sexual content....they've had human on human, human on shapeshifter, mind reader on guy vampire, guy vampire on human....you get the idea. With the Vampire craze dying down a bit, True Blood needed someone to do something different....and Anna stepped up by way of her bi-sexuality. Like Duds, Youk, and Troy, Anna saw a need and she fillled it. That's what great people do and Anna Paquin can now count herself among the greatest. Cue the slow clap....
No shout out for turning you on to this article? What kind of blog are you running here Bills. Also, how is there not a who would you most like to see with Anna Paquin section of the blog? My order would probably go something like Marissa Miller, Kate Hudson (both for selfish reasons), and then I would throw in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, just to see the raw emotion two women who fall on different sides of the coin when it comes to Fang banging.
