When Even Rachel Wood makes her True Blood debut in the August 30 episode, there will be… well, obviously, blood.

“Nobody’s ever entirely happy to see her” character, Louisiana’s blood-sucker boss lady, Queen Sophie-Ann, says series creator Alan Ball. “She’s very powerful, capricious and most likely insane.”

Oooh, we love her already. So it’s a good thing she “has more than one secret agenda,” he teases, “which we will slowly become aware of over season 3.”

Actress Evan Rachel Wood is so obsessed with Vladimir Nabokov’s controversial novel Lolita she has a huge collection of heart-shaped sunglasses, just like the ones the author’s heroine, an alluring teen temptress, wears.

Her literary love also inspired ex-lover Marilyn Manson, who penned the song Heart-Shaped Glasses in tribute to his girlfriend.

She says, “My apartment is covered with different kinds of heart-shaped glasses. My goal was to bring them back.”

Scans of Evan’s appearance in August’s edition of i-D Magazine have finally surfaced – Evan looks incredible. I am also waiting for a new layout to be sent, so be prepared for a new look very soon!

Finally, a clip of Evan in her upcoming appearance on HBO’s True Blood has surfaced at this year’s Comic-Con! She doesn’t show up until the very last few seconds of the clip, but Evan looks amazing – can’t wait for her episodes!

Evan Rachel Wood doesn’t fear the edge—it’s her natural habitat, onscreen and in real life. Uncomfortable, Lolita-esque situations? Check. Nudity? Check. Drugs? Um… Bisexuality? Naturally. “I love me some girls, man!” Wood states unequivocally, sidling into a back booth at a sleek pan-Asian bistro near her home on Los Angeles’ West Side.

At just 21 years old, Wood has proven to be that most freaky-deaky hybrid: classic Hollywood starlet, but hard-wired for serious acting. Just as she’s titillated gossip columns with her (real) on again/off again romance with much older rocker Marilyn Manson and (never-actually-happened) affair with her much, much older co-star Mickey Rourke, Wood has dazzled in films both indie (The Wrestler, Down in the Valley, Running with Scissors) and blockbuster (Across the Universe). She pushes boundaries, making her stand out against more established co-stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett and Rourke.

“She’d joke around the set like a 12 year-old, but as soon as I said ‘action’ she could go immediately to the deepest emotional level,” explains Catherine Hardwicke, who, in 2003, directed Wood in the acclaimed, controversial teen-angst film Thirteen. “In some scenes, she went as far as an actress could go—maybe too far. I was so happy when she was the youngest person to ever be nominated for a best actress Golden Globe, but she deserved an Oscar.”

Actress Evan Rachel Wood has bared all in a provocative new photo spread for a U.S. magazine.

The Thirteen star, the on/off girlfriend of shock rocker Marilyn Manson, wears nothing but black nail varnish and a pout as she poses on her hands and knees for the August issue of i-d Magazine.

The redhead is also depicted wearing lacy black underwear and thigh-high socks in the saucy snaps, taken by controversial photographer Terry Richardson.

Wood admits she was so excited to work with Richardson, famed for his sexually explicit shots, she let him tie her to a chair.

She says of the shoot, “You know what you’re going to get with Terry. But he makes you feel so comfortable. He was like, ‘Ok, take off all your clothes,’ and I was like, ‘Ok.’

“Then he tied me to a chair and pushed me over. I was like, ‘You know, I’ve only done this for three people – Manson, (Across The Universe director) Julie Taymor, and you, so feel special!’”
