Alexander Skarsgard: Hickey Freeman’s New Face!

Alexander Skarsgard is the new face for suit maker Hickey Freeman’s Fall 2010 season, as photographed by Annie Leibovitz.

“We want to attract the younger and younger-thinking customer,” says men’s fashion designer Joseph Abboud, who also serves as the company’s creative director. “Hickey Freeman was much more traditional under the old regime. It lacked sex appeal.”

Thanks to Alexander Skarsgard, the brand now has plenty of sex appeal!

“We didn’t try to make this Dolce & Gabbana,” added Abboud. “We’re not talking about suits for insider fashionistas. It’s about great modern sexy clothes for the American business guy.”

Who will Sookie Choose?

She can read minds, sling beers and toss back shots with werewolves. Not to mention work a pair of short-shorts across two states. No wonder True Blood’s Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is the dream girl for three guys who put the super in supernatural.

So far she’s been loyal to her first love, Civil War-era vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), but a heartrending breach of trust will soon tear the two apart, leaving an opening for calculating Viking bloodsucker Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) and sensitive werewolf bodyguard Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello).

Sookie’s love life is a huge reason viewers are sucking up True Blood by the gallon. The Emmy-nominated drama, based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris, is HBO’s biggest hit since The Sopranos. Set in backwater Bon Temps, La., and surrounds, it’s a Southern Gothic gumbo of hot sex, deep love and vampire politics, with enough story lines to choke a gator.

But underneath it all is the battle for Sookie’s heart that’s been raging since Season 1. Fans have chosen sides, and it’s on for Team Bill versus Team Eric (unofficial team T-shirts are available online), with new rival Alcide now running as a dark horse, er, wolf.

For more on the other men in Sookie’s life, including bad boy vamp Eric and hot werewolf Alcide, pick up this week’s issue of TV GUIDE MAGAZINE, on newsstands Thursday, July 29!

Sorry for the late, finally added screencaptures of last night’s True Blood episode. What did you think? And specially, if you did read the book already, how many times did you imagine Eric entering in Sookie’s window?

Thanks Alex. Even if the show is different from the books, you make Eric exactly as I used to imagine when reading the books.

An Open Letter to Alexander Skarsgård

Dear Alexander Skarsgård,

Stay away from my wife.

I’ve put a lot of time and effort into this relationship and I’m not about to let you swoop in with your slicked back blonde hair, black leather jacket, and impossibly good looks and steal my wife. I refuse to let you waltz into my home (after being invited in) and use your trendy vampire skills to take a bloody bite out of the sanctity of my marriage. You don’t fool me for one second Mr. Skarsgård — I know you’re not really a vampire. My wife on the other hand, she appears to be too busy swooning to know the difference.

Until this horrible vampire fad passes and she snaps out of it, stay the hell away from my wife.

I know she loves me, but clearly your influence is something beyond her conscious control. On Sunday night as I sit dutifully by her side on the couch during True Blood, I can’t help but notice how she looks at the TV. She stares beyond the plasma screen hoping that if she concentrates hard enough she’ll be transported right into the broadly drawn stereotype that is Bon Temps, Louisiana.
