It’s true love for “True Blood” co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.

The real-life couple, who play lovers in the hit HBO vampire series, are engaged to be married, reps for both actors confimed to People.com.

Paquin, 27, will be playing stepmom to Moyer’s two children – his 9-year-old son Billy and 7-year-old daughter Lilac – from a previous marriage.

Now with marriage in their future, fans of the co-stars can expect the chemistry on-screen to continue in the show’s frequent nude scenes.

“Obviously, if you’re already with that person then you’re not having to sort of get over the ‘Wow, I’m naked with someone that I don’t even know the middle name of!’” said the actress.

As for Moyer, 39, his feelings are mutual: “My girl is hardcore.”

The man who says he created Paris Hilton now wants to take her apart.

Just when this week’s MTV documentary about her had Paris floating on air, we had to call and bum her out with the news that her estranged manager, Jason Moore, is shopping a book about her.

Hilton rep Dawn Miller sounded none too pleased when we told her that publishers are bidding on Moore’s book about the star-making machinery behind Paris’ rise.

It’s being pitched as a business book about how Moore molded “this blond piece of clay into a global icon” with a reality TV franchise and fashion and beauty lines.

But editors are also expecting Moore, who says he didn’t sign a confidentiality agreement, to dish on behind-the-scenes drama.

“Jason will demonstrate how, for 10 years, he managed to save his mercurial client from disgrace by manipulating the media, and Paris herself,” according to a pitch letter making the rounds. “Paris was oftentimes her own worst enemy, making a sex tape with a former boyfriend, nursing hangovers during photo shoots, falling asleep everywhere, and getting thrown in jail for numerous driving violations. If Paris Hilton didn’t have Jason Moore pulling the strings, cleaning up her messes … she could well have faded into oblivion.”

Moore, who’ll call his memoir “Controlling Chaos,” says the girl unkindly branded a “celebutard” was more than willing. “[She] spent hours at a time posing in front of the mirror, nailing down the ideal position to create the perfect paparazzi photo.”

Her hope, he says, was to become “the kind of character … that would land commercials, international endorsements, film and television roles.” He winkingly adds, “… and the man (or maybe even the girl) of her dreams.”

Moore, described in the proposal as Hilton’s “Wizard of Oz-like manager,” will also talk about the temptations he saw – “the all-night partying; easy access to women and drugs.”

Moore and Hilton parted ways last year amid reports that his wife was fed up with the time he was devoting to his client.
Moore denied that, telling Us Weekly, “There were a lot of reasons – both personal and professional – for the split, but nothing had anything to do with my marriage.”

Moore and his Literary Group agent, Frank Weimann, declined to comment.

Hilton, who recently returned from taping a new international version of her “BFF” series in Dubai, also had no comment. But a friend of hers claims, “Given the legal issues, I’d be surprised if this book sees the light of day.”

Naomi Campbell has been accused of attacking a photographer and putting him in hospital during a holiday in Italy with her billionaire boyfriend.

Gaetano Di Giovanni claimed his face was scratched and bruised after Miss Campbell, 38, allegedly slapped him and hit him with her handbag.

The supermodel’s ‘nails had damaged his left eye’, Mr Di Giovanni was reported telling Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

Miss Campbell’s representative denied the attack took place and said in a statement: ‘Media reports circulating that Naomi Campbell attacked a photographer in Lipari, Sicily are completely untrue.

‘The photographer was seen following Naomi Campbell on a small boat, taking photographs, the day after the alleged incident.’

Mr Di Giovanni told the Italian newspaper: ‘First she hit with her bag, screaming at me and then she tried to slap me.
‘I managed to avoid her – but her nails still got my eye.

‘For a few seconds I could not see a thing. I could hear that her bodyguards and her boyfriend were trying to drag her away.’
Police on Lipari said no complaint had been made to them.

Lipari is part of the Eoliean Islands, a chain which stretches between Sicily and the mainland and is popular with celebrities.

Miss Campbell arrived on the island with Mikhail Prokhorov on his yacht after spending several days in the south of France.

Last year the Streatham-born model, known for her temper, admitted attacking police at Heathrow in a row over lost luggage.

Kevin Costner and his country band Modern West were about to take the stage at a Canadian music festival when it collapsed, killing one and injuring up to 40.

Thousands were camped out at the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, southeast of Edmonton, when a fierce storm hit about 6 p.m. on Saturday.

“We were all racing for the exit,” said fan Lori Trelenberg. “It was devastation. It was strong and powerful. The stage just sort of crumbled.”

The Nashville-based Billy Currington band was on the stage when the strong winds and torrential rain sent fans screaming for cover.

One band member was pulled from the wreckage with a badly injured arm.

Costner’s group was slated to perform next when the storm swept in. The movie star was not hurt and went to the hospital to comfort others, reports said.

Vancouver-based country music singer Jessie Ferrel said it was a terrifying experience.

“It felt like bombs were going off around us in this concrete and steel building. Huge hits of power hitting the building, and then the lights were off,” she told CTV News.
