“True Blood” Is Saving Money By Cutting The Wardrobe Budget

HBO's softcore vampire soap hasn't even returned yet, but it appears that it's been effected by the economy. This season, they haven't even bothered to buy shirts for Ryan Kwanten.

Don't get us wrong, that's fine by us—he is one fine piece of ass. And, let's get this straight, he is the only reason we watch the show. Yes, all that vampire hooey is fine, and all the boy-on-girl action is a pleasant distraction until we get to ogle his magnificent torso yet again—but Ryan's the one we really want. And the producers know this, so they keep giving us what they want.

And Ryan seems to want it too: look how happy he is in this picture. He's cheering because he's naked and the crowd is loving his triumphant nudity! Oh, June 14 can't come soon enough.
