He says, "You know I'm down with it. I love that show. I wish I could be on it. I'd be a hell of a vampire, don't you think? So what's happening True Blood, get at me - Snoop Dogg wants to be a vampire.'

And Snoop's not the only hit-maker who wants to sink his teeth into a vampire role - Tokio Hotel's frontman Bill Kaulitz is pleading to play a bloodsucker in the Twilight movie franchise.

The German rocker says, "It would be the perfect role for me. That's kind of my dream thing, to play a vampire. I always loved vampire movies, but I never had the right script. I had a lot of offers from different movies, but they weren't the right things. I think (a Twilight film) would be the perfect movie."
