Good ol' Michael "Raisin Bran" Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Evan Rachel Wood has been added to the cast of HBO's True Blood, which will be back with its second ridiculous season beginning in June. We imagine that her dalliance with Marilyn Manson certainly won't hurt her ability to get into character as the "Vampire Queen of Louisiana," which is easily the greatest region-specific character description we've heard since Ferris Bueller passed himself off as the "Sausage King of Chicago."
