Moonlight cast interviewed at the Paley Center for Media event

Kristin Dos Santos, from E!, interviewed Alex O'Loughlin, Sophia Myles, Brian J White & Jason Dohring at the Paley Center Moonlight Panel. We have two videos to enjoy from the event.

Part 1 ~



Sophia talks about her new short hair, wearing a wig and describes the new Moonlight episodes as "sexy." Alex gives his opinion of who is Mick's true love... Beth or Coraline. Brian J White is amazed by the fans giving blood to support the show. He also calls Alex "Mr hunk-stud." hahaha

Part 2 ~



Jason says he & Alex had a wonderful time at the NY Comic Con. He also tells Kristin that episode #1x13 (Fated to Pretend) broke his heart. Ours too, Jason! She mentions that he is used to being on a tv show with a die hard fan base (Veronica Mars). Jason says "it's like you have a lot of friends." Awwwwww...... He goes on to praise Alex for his hard work ~ 90 hours a week *gulp* Jason is such a good guy!

A quick Alex O'Loughlin interview with MSN UK

Alex O'Loughlin did a quick interview with MSN UK. He spoke to them at the Paley Center for Media's Moonlight event. Thank goodness our show's producers were smart enough to keep Alex when they recast all the other characters. He is definitely the man you want as the lead for your tv show!

Vampires out in Beverly Hills

Vampires ruled the night in Beverly Hills as fans got to meet the stars of US television show Moonlight.

And Alex O'Loughlin, who plays a vampire turned private investigator, was the man everyone wanted to see.

The Australian brought his girlfriend, former Neighbours star Holly Valance, to the Q&A held at the Paley Television Centre, where he revealed all about the joys of playing blood sucker Mick St John - a modern vampire with a heart.

"He does a lot of good things and he saves a lot of people, but I think he's still an animal. He still has this daily need for blood and he has to really hold himself back from being bad, there's always a tension," the actor said.

Alex revealed it had been a rocky road getting the show - which also stars British actress Sophia Myles - to air.

He said: "I didn't know what was going to happen because they fired everyone and then they told me I still had a job, then they changed the name of the show and then they said they weren't sure what they were going to do with it. I wasn't expecting anything but it certainly has changed, it's been a really exciting journey to watch it unfold and be a part of the process."

Moonlight currently airs in the UK on LIVING on Tuesdays at 10pm.

Sophia Myles interview from Moonlight's Paley Center for Media event

MSN UK has a short, fun inteview with Sophia from the Paley Center for Media's Moonlight event. I chuckled at her description of living in Los Angeles with & without a job, as well as her comment that "They don't want English blood." Also, I agree with her about Moonlight being renewed.

Sophia loves life in LA

British actress Sophia Myles says she's loved sinking her teeth into new US vampire show Moonlight, and says filming in Hollywood has been a "dream come true".

Speaking at a special Q&A with fans held in Beverly Hills, the actress said joining the cast had been amazing.

She said: "I was really excited to play an American. I've done so many period dramas that to play a contemporary girl that works 9 to 5 was interesting. Also to get the opportunity to work at Warner Bros Studios it's just a dream come true."

The actress added: "LA is a fantastic city, when you're employed here it's the most fabulous city in the world - when you're unemployed you want to commit suicide. I've had different times in my life and different relationships with this city, but right now it's rocking."

Sophia is confident that the show has earned a second series, saying: "I'll be shocked if there isn't [another season]. I'll be really disappointed in CBS if there isn't."

To show the networks how much they love the show, fans even gave blood in a special Red Cross drive in the reception area of the Paley Television Centre. Unfortunately, Sophia wasn't able to join in.

She said: "I'm not allowed to give blood. All of our fans are allowed to give blood to try and bring the show back, but I can't because I'm not an American citizen. They don't want English blood."

Moonlight airs in the UK on LIVING on Tuesdays at 10pm.

Video ~ A brief interview with Holly Valance

Holly Valance was interviewed by a UK reporter when she attended the Moonlight event at the Paley Center for Media last Tuesday night. The Nottingham Evening Post published the brief chat. Holly talks about working in Hollywood... and Alex jokes about what goes on at home with Mick's teeth.

Dating a vampire 'sucks', says Holly

Former Neighbours star Holly Valance has joked that dating a vampire "sucks".

The Aussie actress currently lives in LA with boyfriend Alex O'Loughlin - the star of spooky US vampire series Moonlight.

Holly turned out to support her man at a Q&A at the Paley Centre for Television in Beverly Hills, and joked that dating a blood sucker has its ups and downs.

"It sucks, isn't that the worst joke? No, it's fun," she said.

Alex joked: "Holly loves it - I've got teeth at home and we keep some blood in the fridge, all sorts of antics going on behind closed doors! She's great, she's really supportive, she's awesome."

While Alex has been filming, Holly revealed she's been taking things easy.

"At the moment I'm in hiatus, that's what I like to call my lazy times - in between jobs, auditioning. We've been away for Christmas for a few months and it was nice sitting at home on the beach," she said.

And she revealed she has no plans to return to Australia just yet as she's enjoying Tinseltown.

"Most of the time people love Aussies here and they also appreciate if you've done some hard time on a soap opera because it's kind of like a baptism of fire into the industry," she said.

"You work such long hours and it's such a tough gig. When you come here everything seems like you're coming into heaven on set here - in Neighbours we shared like a trailer with like 30 of us, here you get your own."

Kristin Dos Santos announces host of Moonlight's Paley Center event & gives spoilers

E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos was asked a couple of Moonlight related questions today. Get your Moonlight questions ready! Kristin is going to be hosting our show's Paley Center panel. She wants us to send her anything we want to ask. The poor thing is gonna be flooded with emails from Moonlight fans. :)

Warning...... Her first answer has spoilers!





Ana in Lisbon, Portugal :
When Moonlight returns will we get some Mick and Beth love?

I can tell you that when Moonlight returns April 25, Beth finds out shocking news about Mick's life back before he was a vampire—and even before he was a soldier in World War II. Also, when we return, Mick is still "human," but the way he eventually returns to being a vampire is something that will have repercussions for seasons to come...

Izabela in Iguassu Falls City, Brazil :
Oi Kristin tudo bem? People in Brazil are loooving Moonlight. Do you know if it is coming back for season two?

Oi, amiga! No word yet from CBS, but I would be stunned if it didn't come back. In other news, I just found out I'll be moderating the Moonlight panel at the Paley Center for Media on Tuesday, April 22. If you have questions for the cast and producers, email me at tvdiva@eonline.com and I'll be sure to get you answers. Also, if you are coming to L.A. for the event, consider getting there early because there's going to be a Red Cross blood drive at the center before the event! Yay vampires...er, I mean, philanthropy!

Thank you to the lovely Kim for checking to be sure I had this info :)

Information about Moonlight's Paley Center event from LA blog readers

I have received messages from wonderful Moonlightfan Blog readers who happen to live in LA ~ Cinnamon and two others who wish to remain anonymous. According to their information, the Moonlight event to be held at the Paley Center for Media is part of their "An Evening with.... " series. Similar to the Paley Fest 2008 that is being held in March, Moonlight's cast & producers will take part in a panel discussion Q&A session, sign autographs and such. Each reader has told me that they found out this information from very reliable sources.

What a great night for Moonlight fans who live in the Los Angeles area or who can travel there for the event! Believe me, I wish I could be there. However, hopefully I will get a full report from those who are lucky enough to attend. I'm excited that our show is receiving this attention, which it more than deserves :)
