Morning Meme: More "True Blood" Casting, Katy Perry Is Hottest, "Glee" Revisits Barbra, and Is That an IED in Your Pants?

Plus, new decorating ideas for snicks' bedroom, Where The Frock Are They? and is a 90210 alum enough of a hunk for a Vampire King?

Buried in this list of scoops and spoilers is the news that True Blood is about to get into the fairy business, which is great for us, because in the books fairies are breathtakingly beautiful fraternal twins, Claudine and Claude, and Claude is gay.

And the Spurf™ follows up with the news that Lara Pulver has been cast as Claudine. Lara is seen most recently in Robin Hood opposite Russell Crowe. I’m not sure she’s at all what I had in mind when I read the books. Fantasy casting for her gay twin stripper brother in the comments!

Glee is bringing back Barbra – Ryan Murphy says that Idina Menzel is about to sing “Funny Girl” in an upcoming episode as a perfect complement to Lea Michele’s earlier “Don’t Rain On My Parade.”

Colin Farrell has signed on to play the charismatic vampire and neighbor in the upcoming Fright Night remake.

The latest intelligence on fall pilots being greenlit for series has no mention of any of our gay favorites like It Takes a Village or Quintuplets.

I believe Kingis is a Finnish ice cream brand (I’m guessing). In this web commercial the hunky protagonist gets down to his undies. The ad's "choose your own ending" technology will have most AE readers gravitating toward option three. (I'm guessing.)

Cracked gives a list of 6 Absurd Gender Stereotypes (That Science Says Are True) that includes the note that women are bad at direction compared to straight men. Notice I said straight men. Evidently, gay men have the same navigation problems women do.

Remember the $100 million defamation lawsuit Lindsay Lohan filed against E-Trade about the “milkaholic” baby named Lindsay in their Super Bowl commercial? E*Trade filed a response, and included as evidence that even if “Lindsay” was synonymous with Lohan like “Madonna” or “Cher” nothing they could do would actually harm Lohan’s reputation more than Lohan herself. Thousands of pages of paparazzi pictures, gossip stories, and court documents are now part of the court record.

Photos from Kylie Minogue’s latest music video shoot in Los Angeles have tons of guys and girls in their underwear in a giant pile. It’s all the hotter because they don’t appear to be perfect models.

I’ve featured several street chalk illusions before in Meme, but I never knew where they came from. Thanks to io9.com I now know that they were works of art by Kurt Wenner, who used to do illustrations for NASA. They’ve got a huge gallery of his work.

Pictures of Peter Sarsgaard in costume as the evil Dr. Hector Hammond on the set of Green Lantern seem to support the theory that everything is about making Ryan Reynolds look hotter by comparison.

Spurf™ has six minutes of clips and video from the rest of the season of The Big Bang Theory, plus Jim Parsons explaining his possible romance for this season and next.

Mark Burnett has seen the future of daytime, and it doesn’t have soap operas. Instead it has nonstop, one off tournament bracket American Idol knockoffs. I just threw up a little.

May is National Masturbation Month. You could celebrate all month long. I don’t think you shop at Party City for this one.

I do not understand straight guys. According to the readers of Maxim, Katy Perry is the hottest woman in the planet. I guess we know how Maxim readers are celebrating May.

Disney XD has ordered Billion Dollar Freshman, which appears to be an inflation-adjusted high school version of the Six Million Dollar Man.

The Bilerico Project is stepping on our entertainment turf by fawning over the DVD release of The Lost Coast. They claim it’s the film that made them believe in bisexuals as something other than a gateway orientation. O.K., since I know a lot of the writers over there, I’m sure it was a rhetorical flourish, so don’t go over there all angry.

Spurf™ says that True Blood is bringing 90210 star Michael Steger onboard to play Tony, the gay prostitute/drug addict that catches the eye of the Vampire King of Mississippi due to his resemblance to his longtime partner Talbott. I can see the resemblance if they clean up Steger. It's just odd because the last time I watched 90210 Steger was a virgin son of an adult film mogul who drove a Lamborghini. Gay and (likely) naked in True Blood is quite a jump.

Theo Alexander (Talbott) and Michael Steger (Tony)

Fatheads.com now has a lifesize Andy Roddick to add to their existing lifesize Tommy Haas. I imagine snicks putting one on each wall of his bedroom and dressing himself up as a tennis ball that they spank back and forth with their racquets. h/t csc68

Look at the thighs on him!

All hail Hypnotoad!

I'm still feeling kind of wiped for the weekend.

It could be because I partied with this guy.

And your daily dose of cute today isn't quite a barrel of monkeys.
 

Sex and the City 2 has released a new interactive trailer, so that as it plays you can click on a dress, or a character, and a little factoid scrolls up on the bottom. So you can find all the details of clothing you probably can't afford, or remind yourself of the plot.

Secretariat has a new extended television spot that has a lot more of the horse and a bit less of Diane Ladd and Nelsan Ellis.

Aziz Ansari is hosting next month's MTV Movie Awards. Here he has a promo with Kristen Bell about watching The Hurt Locker in "4D" and talking about IEDs.

In today's episode of Where the Frock Are They? Logo catches up with Tammie Brown from the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race, who left far too soon in the season to begin with.

Waiting for Superman is a documentary about the complete disaster that the D.C. education system has become, and the success of children is literally down to lottery for charter schools like some dystopian future, except it's all too real.
