Super hot TV vampire Ryan Kwanten helped save a man’s life this weekend after he spotted the victim bleeding in the middle of a Hollywood street.

Perez Hilton reports that the True Blood star spotted the injured man from his car as he was driving by the scene and instantly got out to help. Kwanten moved the man’s body to the sidewalk and encouraged passerby to call for paramedics, watching over the victim until medical help arrived.

An eyewitness says that Kwanten was recognized during his rescue mission, which caused a bit of a crowd to gather, but the star stayed on the scene to “make sure this guy was okay.”

Super admirable! We love him even more now!

No word on the man’s condition, but we’re sure Ryan’s helping hands made a difference.

At a Nashville Pride performance on Sunday, Vanessa Carlton shared a big secret with the audience.

“I’ve never said this before, but I am a proud bisexual woman,” Carlton told the audience of 1,800 screaming fans.

The singer 29-year-old singer pointed out that in Ordinary Day, her first hit single, she continually changed the pronouns from “him” to “her” to keep her sexuality ambiguous, reported Perez Hilton.

“The lyrics to Ordinary Day could be about a boy, girl, tranny – whatever!”

In the past, Carlton has been romantically entangled with the smooth talking John Mayer and Third Eye Blind lead singer Stephan Jenkins back in 2007.

Carlton’s announcement comes only two months after True Blood leading lady Anna Paquin announced her bisexuality through a public service announcement promoting equality.

HBO’s “True Blood” star, Anna Paquin said little that revealed a lot, as part of a videotaped public service announcement.

“I’m bisexual, and I give a damn,” the 27-year-old actress says as part of the True Colors Fund’s Give a Damn campaign that was taped January 30 and kicked off April 1. The campaign features celebs encouraging people to work toward lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality, MTV news reports. Paquin was a bit of a surprise, as organizers were unaware that she was going to declare her bisexuality through the PSA.

The campaign includes a series of videos that also include stars like: Kim Kardashian, Elton John, Cynthia Nixon, Clay Aiken, Whoopi Goldberg, Wanda Sykes, Jason Mraz, Mya, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne and True Colors Fund co-founder Cyndi Lauper.

“One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country,” Paquin says, while other celebs add in facts about discrimination.

“Imagine walking down the street and wondering if this is the day you’ll get beaten up or even killed, simply because of who you are,” Elton John says.

Adds Mraz, “It is time for things to change!”

Paquin, a New Zealand native, got engaged to Stephen Moyer, her “True Blood” co-star last August. She plays a telepathic waitress named Sookie Stackhouse, who falls for Moyer’s vampire, Bill Compon. The premier of the third season kicks off on June 13 on HBO.

MTV News asked Moyer for some inside scoop on the third season, but he wasn’t spilling the beans. “I don’t want to give anything away!” he said.

With the current vampire craze occurring, sometimes it’s hard to keep track of all the blood-sucking outlets for fans to quench their thirst.

The gritty television series, True Blood, wrapped up its second season this past summer, and now the announcements for new cast members in the upcoming third season are finally public.

According to dose.ca, the HBO show has cast both Theo Alexander and Grant Bowler for its upcoming 2010 season. Talbot is set to play an “intensely beautiful” (as quoted by the Hollywood Reporter) vampire and boyfriend of a power-hungry vampire king. Bowler has been cast as Coot, the leader of a vicious biker gan, and he also morphs into a werewolf at the sight of a full moon. Unfortunately for tweens and Twilighters everywhere, Taylor Lautner will not be a part of this werewolf pack.

Other celebrities cast in the new season of True Blood are “Prison Break” star Marshall Allman, and former O.C. actress Shannon Lucio.

Though filming and production on Season Three began yesterday (December 2), the season will not air until spring 2010.
