Last night, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, producer Lou Adler called in a few favors to get stars like Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Evan Rachel Wood, Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, George Lopez, and Jorge Garcia (along with original cast members Barry Bostwick and Tim Curry) to perform in an all-star, Kenny Ortega–directed tribute to Rocky to benefit Paul Newman’s Painted Turtle charity, which provides a camp for seriously ill children. After the show, we spoke with True Blood star Wood, who told us that her casting as Magenta in the Rocky tribute was something of a coincidence: “This was going to be my costume for Halloween, and then they asked me to do this,†she said. “I can’t believe this is my real hair.â€
But when will she get back to work on True Blood? we asked. “We’re filming again in November, so I’m going to be back,†she said. “It’s one of the most fun shows I’ve ever worked on. I just want to know what happens.†Then: “That set is just a love fest,†said Wood, who last year was rumored to be seeing co-star Alexander Skarsgard. “I’ve even been there myself, so there you go. I did date one of the cast members already, so I’m done.â€
Still, she’s not ruling anything out on the set of her next movie, George Clooney’s Ides of March: “It’s going to be amazing,†she told us. “We’re going to start shooting in February. My character gets herself into a bit of a predicament with a politician, who’s played by Ryan Gosling, so I’m very excited. I’ve had a total crush on him forever.â€
