  • Sofia Vergara On the Rebound With ‘True Blood’ Star Joe Manganiello

    Recently single Sofía Vergara seems to have moved on from her ex-fiancé Nick Loeb and straight into the arms of True Blood star Joe Manganiello.

    The Modern Family actress and People‘s Hollywood’s Hottest Bachelor, Manganiello, were spotted having brunch Sunday afternoon in New Orleans, where Vergara is filming the comedy Don’t Mess With Texas with costar Reese Witherspoon.

    A photo was posted on Instagram of Vergara and Manganiello canoodling at a table with a plate of fried chicken. The post has since been deleted.

    “The restaurant was full with no tables available when they arrived with no reservation,” a witness told Page Six. “Sofía copped an attitude, and they made room for them.”

    A source told Page Six that the 41-year-old actress and Manganiello met at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this year and were “flirting” and “exchanged numbers.” A bit awkward, perhaps, considering Vergara attended the event with Loeb.

    “It is early days, but there is a big mutual attraction,” said another source.

    It all seems so clear now. Vergara and Loeb, who had been dating on and off since 2010, split shortly after the DC event, with the actress announcing the news to her fans on WhoSay.

    Manganiello hasn’t minced words when it comes to his lusting for — I mean crush on — Vergara. He laid it all out there in his People‘s Hottest Bachelor interview.

    “I love a butt. Sofía Vergara, that’s it. She’s got that Latin thing going. She’s got curves, she’s got a beautiful face, beautiful hair, just gorgeous. And she’s feisty!” he said.

    “There was a picture someone snapped at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner where they caught me looking at Sofia Vergara’s butt,” he continued. “When you talk about being manipulated, that’s what I’m talking about. It’s like a moment of zen. There is nothing in my brain. If only I could meditate that well. I don’t go after other people’s women. She’s got a guy. If she was single, I would be like, poof!”

    Manganiello was engaged to actress Audra Marie in 2010 and most recently dated model Bridget Peters for more than a year.

  • Ty Burrell Dethrones Alec Baldwin at the SAG Awards

    Alec Baldwin ended his seven-year reign as Best Male Performer in a Comedy Series when Ty Burell took home the coveted prize at the 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards show on Saturday.

    Modern Family also bested 30 Rock to take home the award for Outstanding Comedy Ensemble, making SAG history as the first show to win four times in comedy ensemble.

    In its fifth season, Modern Family has met with critical acclaim. It was ranked No. 34 on a list of the 101 most well-written TV series ever made by the Writers Guild of America in 2013.

    Ed O’Neil, Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell and Eric Stonestreet also star in the hit show about the relationships in a very nontraditional family.

    As well as 30 Rock, Modern Family beat Veep, Netflix’s Arrested Development and CBS’ The Big Bang Theory in its category.

    In his acceptance speech, Burrell gave some advice to young aspiring actors watching.

    “I know most of you out here tonight have read my book, Acting: How to Do It Good, but I thought maybe…I would just go back over my five simple steps to success.”

    Here are his five steps to success:

    “1. Be born into a family that’s never had an actor in it that way they think everything you do is cooler than it actually is, thus giving you a false sense of confidence.
    2. Use that false sense of confidence to woo and trap a spouse that is better than you and is willing to overlook the fact that you have no apparent skill set other than being a needy extrovert.
    3. Have no skill set other than being a needy extrovert.
    4. Use that lack of skill to fail over and over and over again until you stumble into a job written by Chris Lloyd, Steve Levitan and our entire writing staff. Also at that job, make sure your coworkers are the cast of Modern Family.
    5. Um, have a knack for memorizing.”

  • Former Cylon Tricia Helfer Talks ‘Killer Women’

    Former Cylon model “Number 6” Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica fame recently opened up about her new role as Texas Ranger Molly Parker on ABC’s new drama Killer Women, which premieres on Tuesday.

    Former human supermodel Helfer, 39, who grew up on a grain farm outside of Donalda, east of Ponoka, near Alberta, Canada, tells the Edmonton Journal, “There is a lot of action,” regarding Killer Women, adding, “I grew up a tomboy and I love doing all that stuff. It’s 95 percent me. All the driving stuff – I love doing it. We just had a motorcycle chase in the finale episode and that’s not all me because insurance wasn’t going to allow me to do it.”

    Killer Women is loosely based on the Argentine true-crime series Mujeres Asesinas, and is produced by Modern Family’s Sophia Vergara. It combines a typical police procedural, modern-western elements and family drama. The series also delves into the psychological makeup of ladykillers. Or, killers who are ladies.

    Helfer comments on her Killer Woman protagonist Parker, “Quite often, when strong female characters are written, especially if they are in law enforcement, they tend to be very one- or two-dimensional. But Molly isn’t. She definitely has a fun and quirky side. She is dealing with vulnerability, going through a divorce with an abusive ex-husband and is hiding some shame. It was a very well-rounded character that drew me from the first script.”

    The new series which is presently filmed in Albuquerque has a lot of action, and Helfer does her own stunts, sometimes to her detriment – she underwent back surgery to correct injuries received on the Battlestar set years ago.

    “We’ve been building a barbed wire fence. We’ve been enclosing a section the last couple of years. We’ve built a lean-to, a hay shed, a pumphouse and tons of stuff. So we all descend on the farm and help. I have 30 acres there that my husband and I will eventually be building a vacation house on. So we often put up a camper and motorhome and park it on the ridge. That’s where we spent our ninth anniversary last year, parked up on our land. Alberta is still very close to my heart.”
