On the season premiere of True Blood, female viewers may have been focused on Alexander Skarsgard’s bare backside, as his character exhibited the kind of long-lasting sexual prowess human beings merely dream about.

But men may have rewinded that scene in the basement of Fangtasia to focus on the naked woman Eric Northman was giving it to. Her name is Natasha Alam, she’ll appear in at least four more True Blood episode as Yvetta – and she’s featured in the latest issue of Playboy.

THG was fortunate to speak to the actress this week and our Q&A with her is posted below…

How did the opportunity to pose for Playboy come about?
I never imagined that I’d one day be a Playboy cover girl.  The magazine is so legendary, so when my publicist approached me about the opportunity I said, “HELL YES!!!”

Did you always have an interest in the magazine? Any memorable past spreads inspire you?
Before my acting career started to bloom, I modeled in my friend Matthew Settle’s editorial story for Playboy, which was dedicated to Howard Hughes.  I had so much fun shooting for that story that I was inspired to be in Playboy.

Were you nervous to pose nude?
When I found out who the photographer was (Steven Baillie), and who the stylist and hair/make up team were, all of my worries disappeared.  I had a fantastic team and knew I’d be in good hands with them!

How did the role on True Blood come about?
I’d been auditioning for True Blood since the pilot aired, but never landed any roles.  I almost gave up on getting on this show.  However, my audition for Yvetta was excellent and I felt really confident about the way I portrayed the character, but I still didn’t think that I would actually book it, so when I finally got the news I was ecstatic.

On the season three premiere, Eric had sex with your character for six hours? What’s the longest you’ve ever gone with a man?
Oh boy!  I’ve never really counted it.  When you are at it, time just stops, and when you’re done… oops, the whole night has passed!

Are you on Team Eric or Team Bill?
That’s a tough choice, but I’m kind of leaning towards Team Bill a little more.

Were you a fan of True Blood before landing this role?
I loved the show right from the pilot, but, unfortunately, I couldn’t watch it all the time because I became a mom in 2009, so I don’t have as much time now!

Any other gigs or roles coming up?
I’m in negotiations for a couple of action films since I’ve been studying with Whu Shu for a while.  One is a thriller and the other is a dark comedy.

They may have their hands full with 2-year-old twins and red-hot careers, but Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony would still like to add to their brood. “Yeah, who wouldn’t!” Marc told In Touch of expanding their family — which also includes his three children two previous relationships — at the Samsung Four Seasons of Hope Gala in New York on June 15. And though she’s first and foremost a mom to Max and Emme, superstar Jennifer’s upcoming album with Def Jam records will not suffer from a lack of sexiness. “All I can say is that it’s going to be hot, much hotter! You’ll see!” the sultry songstress told In Touch the day prior about her latest project at the Apollo 2010 Spring Benefit.

American Pie star Chris Klein was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving this morning in LA, according to reports. Katie Holmes‘ former fiancé was pulled over on the Hollywood Freeway, where a law enforcement official said his blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit of .08. Since the 31-year-old has a previous DUI conviction from 2005, he could get up to four days in jail and be forced to use a machine that tests his blood alcohol level to start his car in the future.

On TV, Lea Michele plays Rachel Berry, the queen of the Gleeks, but despite Lea’s insistence that they have a lot in common, her real-life high school experience in Tenafly, N.J., was nothing like her alter ego’s. “We loved her. She was sweet and popular,” the Glee star’s close high school friend Rachel Schneider exclusively tells In Touch. Lea, now 23, began working on Broadway at a very young age — she was just 8 when she won her first big role, in Les Misérables. “She was a star,” says Schneider, who’s been tight with Lea since junior high. “But she never let it go to her head. She went and did the acting thing, but she was always herself. She was very concerned with her career, but she would hang out with us a lot when she was around.”

Like the character she plays, Schneider describes her pal as “super-dedicated” to her career, but says she still found time to goof off with her friends. She explains that their acting teacher, Mr. Collins, “would get mad at us” for passing notes. “Lea and I would make lists of guys we liked, and we’d get in trouble. She was a great student, and all the teachers knew that she was really talented, but we did talk a lot in class!” Aside from making those crush lists, though, Lea had little time for boys. “A lot of the senior guys liked her when she was a freshman, but she didn’t date anyone,” Schneider says.

As Tiger Woods preps for the prestigious U.S. Open this week, it’s apparently open season for mistresses claiming he fathered their kids years ago.

Yesterday, we reported on a UK documentary airing this week which will allege that the golfer has a kid with Theresa Rogers, his “cougar mistress.”

Now another mistress, porn star Devon James (no relation to Woods mistress Joslyn James), claims Tiger is the father of her son, Austin T. James.

Austin’s middle initial is a secret tribute to the golfer she loved, claims Devon James, who leaked a picture of the supposed Tiger Woods love child.

The child was born in 2001, before Tiger was married to Elin Nordegren. The Theresa Rogers spawn was born in ’03, also before he was married.

Devon James claims Tiger Woods knocked her up back in the day.

“She was 19 at the time, and attending a Christian school program” a source close to Devon James recalls. “They immediately started a relationship.”

“She became pregnant, but decided not to tell Tiger,” who she knows is the dad as he’s “the only African-American man she dated at the time.”

Devon James was one of the bevy of busty babes who came forward with Tiger tales after his mystifying November car wreck and fall from grace.

James first dished on Woods in March, claiming James was asked to join a threesome with a girlfriend a mystery man who turned out to be Woods.

“Hi, I’m Tiger. Nice to meet you,” James quoted him as saying before they quickly got down to business – him paying $2,000 each for “dirty” sex.

Is Austin T. James Tiger Woods’ love child?

Devon says the first time she bedded Tiger was back in 2000, though, when she was just a teenager, and the threesome simply reconnected them.

“She showed him pictures of Austin, and told him he was his son,” a source said. “He didn’t want to meet the boy, but did send gifts for the child.”

In unrelated and hilarious news, Devon was accused of robbing Joslyn on a porn set yesterday. That’s not the only attack on her character, either.

James’ mother, Sandra Brinling, said yesterday that her daughter is a “pathological liar” and that she knows exactly who “Austin T.’s real dad” is.

Time will tell if one or both of these allegations are substantiated by DNA evidence, or if more alleged Tiger Woods baby mamas come forward.

Based on the photo above, do you think Tiger Woods fathered Devon James’ love child? Or is she just making it up for publicity?

Her new album failed to land at the top of the charts during its first week of release, but Christina Aguilera still felt like a winner last night.

That’s because the singer opened Game Six of the NBA Finals with a rousing rendition of the national anthem and then sat courtside as the Los Angeles Lakers pummeled the Boston Celtics 89-67, setting up a decisive Game Seven for the title tomorrow night.

Watch Xtina show off her vocal range now:

Aguilera wasn’t the only celebrity at the game.

As usual, the crowd was filled with more famous faces than Katsuya on a Saturday night. The most surprising sighting? Michelle Obama and will.i.am sharing a corporate box.

While we try to come up with ways to taunt and jinx Mr. Khloe Kardashian before Game Seven, take a look below at who else took in the contest:

Bloggers had a field day when Sarah Palin showed up at the Belmont Stakes race track in New York on June 5, debuting what seemed to be a bustier shape in an almost-sheer white top – a stark difference from her suited-up styles as a vice-presidential hopeful. But the former Alaskan governor laughed off implant rumors when she spoke with In Touch. “If these reporters who insist that I had surgery would do just a tiny bit of research and easily Google other casual pictures – for instance pictures from my visits with the troops in Kosovo and Kuwait over the years – they’d see proof that I look the same as I always have,” she tells In Touch. She adds, “Maybe some of these reporters’ own saline and silicon got in their way as they chased this latest rumor, so they missed it!”

Rumors of an Al Gore-Laurie David affair surfaced yesterday, casting news light on the global warming advocate’s separation from wife Tipper after 40 years.

But there is no truth to the report of the former Vice President’s marriage ending thanks to a two-year affair with the ex-wife of Larry David, her agent says.

“This report is completely, patently false,” says Dorian Karchmar, angrily rejecting Star magazine’s shocking account of an Al Gore-Laurie David affair.

The agent added regarding the scandalous story that “I have no idea where it started from or why, but it is absolutely, positively and patently untrue.”

We have some idea. Laurie David, herself a prominent environmentalist, served as a producer of Al Gore’s 2006 Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth.

Here’s a photo of them together …

Are Laurie David and Al Gore having an affair?

Al announced his separation from Tipper Gore June 1, with the couple saying it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together.”

Friends of the former couple, who said they were shocked, said at the time that the breakup was “not one of those [cheating] situations in any remote way.”

David, who ended her marriage with Larry in 2007 amid allegations of infidelity, also told the Huffington Post personally that the story is a “total fabrication.”

“I adore both Al and Tipper Gore. I look at them both as family,” Laurie says.

Moreover, “I have happily been in a serious relationship since my divorce.”

A rep for Al Gore declined to comment.

In January, sources stated that Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green might be engaged again.

Now, a new report suggests this couple might be engaged again… again.

According to Us Weekly, the actor proposed to the sexiest woman on the planet on June 1. He allegedly presented Fox with a two-carat ring while on vacation in Hawaii. There’s just one hiccup: it’s been lost.

“I saw her jumping up and down,” a witness said of the proposal at the Four Seasons Hualalai hotel. “Later, I saw a half dozen staff sifting through the sand.”

Another source added that “security and maintenance staff spent a couple of hours looking for it. No one found it.”

(THG note: It’s in our pants, Megan. Come looking for it any time.)

This report may be featured in the same Us Weekly issue that says Kristen Stewart will soon dump Robert Pattinson, but it’s apparently true.

A rep for Fox confirms: “Yes, she’s engaged.”
