True Blood star Joe Manganiello is revealing the secret to maintaining a buff body by penning a fitness book.

The actor, who showed off his hunky physique in stripper film Magic Mike, is teaming up with publishers at Gallery Books to release Joe Manganiello's Evolution: The Cutting-Edge Guide to Breaking Down Mental Walls and Building the Body You've Always Wanted.

The project will hit shelves next year and feature step-by-step workout routines, as well diet tips.

A statement from the 36 year old reads, "I wasn't born this way. I was the kid in high school who couldn't do one dip, one...

True Blood hunk Joe Manganiello has a new lady in his life - he is reportedly romancing model Bridget Peters.

The actor has been dating Peters since meeting at a Las Vegas boxing match last year and the brunette beauty has already met the 36 year old's family, spending time with Manganiello's brother Nicholas and father Charles at the Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez fight in Sin City in December, according to People.com.

Manganiello, who called off his engagement to model Audra Marie in 2011, was previously linked to French cabaret dancer Veronique Lazoore.

'How I Met Your Mother' returned last night continuing the story arc from last week. You’ll remember that Marshall ran into his old law school buddy Brad, played by Joe Mananiello. Brad conned Marshall into thinking he needed a job when all he really wanted to do was steal Marshall’s firm’s strategy for the upcoming case where Brad was defending a pharmaceutical company. Marshall’s boss tells him to win the case or he’s fired.

In traditional HIMYM fashion, the story is being told by someone at a later point in time, but this time it is Marshall. We find Marshall telling the story of th...

HIMYM returned last night and so did Joe Manganiello as Brad, Marshall’s old law school buddy. The episode “World’s Greatest Couple,” where Brad and Marshall have a bromance back in season two is still one of my favorites. Marshall finds Brad a bit down on his luck, and offers to get him an interview at the law firm at which he is working.

When the gang finds out about this, they relay to Marshall that he gives out too many recommendations, calling him the “Stamp Tramp.” By giving out so many stamps of approval, they have basically become meaningless. Needless to say, the interview ends...

The "End Of Watch" premiere in Los Angeles on Monday was a star-studded event. Anna Kendrick looked lovely in a black and cream-colored gown, while Jake Gyllenhaal opted for a blue suit sans tie.

TV and movie hunk Joe Manganiello has dismissed reports suggesting he's Demi Moore's new man, insisting he only spent three minutes chatting to her at a film premiere.

The True Blood star, who plays a male stripper in new film Magic Mike, admits he's amazed by all the stories linking him to newly-single Moore, who split from husband Ashton Kutcher at the end of 2011 - but they're all false.

He tells Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest, "There is 100 per cent zero truth to that... I met her once at a premiere and I maybe talked to her for three minutes."

"(She's a) lovely woman... She was in ...

For superhero fans, there's only one thing in this world that could possibly be more exciting than "The Avengers": a Justice League movie. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and the rest of DC Comics' legendary heroes, all in one film? Superhero nirvana.

In "Magic Mike," in which he costars with Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, and Matt Bomer, Manganiello interviewed a former male stripper to research the era.

This just isn't Elizabeth Burke's season.

This week's White Collar has Mrs. Suit overhearing plans for a robbery thanks to a scanner Peter left at home. When nothing materializes, Peter and Neal are skeptical, but (of course) Mozzie is more receptive. He and Elizabeth monitor the scanner until they hear the same voices again...right across the street from the Burke home. The new neighbors are Ben (Matt Bomer's Magic Mike co-star Joe Manganiello) and Rebecca Ryan (former Criminal Minds star Lola Glaudini).

As he gestures wildly, Alan and Jake’s heads track the movement of Walden’s penis. When he leaves, the half man asks his dad to assure him he’s not stopped growing, and Alan hands him the penis pump box. Classy stuff!

Trying to get True Blood executive producer Alan Ball and the cast of the HBO series to give away anything about the upcoming fourth season is not easy. Oh, but how they love to tease! During Saturday's PaleyFest panel, we heard all about fairies, demon babies, amnesia (poor Eric!) and why — brace yourselves — Sookie and Bill are doomed for the time being.

Bill's not getting back into Sookie's, er, good graces any time soon. It's going to take a long while for her to get past Eric's...

True Blood star Joe Manganiello suffered a creepy experience with a fan at a recent comic book convention - he was targeted by a woman who was convinced his saliva has supernatural healing properties.

The actor, who plays werewolf Alcide in the hit vampire show, was attending the Comic Con event in New York earlier this month when he was approached by a strange lady who tried to collect his spit.

Sandra Bullock wasn't buying the hype. Speaking to EW last fall, weeks before the opening of a little heart-warmer of a movie called The Blind Side, the actress - who had reemerged earlier that year from a two-year hiatus with her biggest hit ever, the romantic comedy The Proposal - predicted that her newly reinvigorated career would soon cool down again. She brushed off The Proposal's success as a cosmic fluke: "I don't pump my fist in the air. I don't want anything karmically crashing down on me." She dismissed the idea that she might score an Oscar nomination for The Blind Side: "The stu...
