Evan Rachel Wood says it was “absolutely terrifying” to do her very first nude scene in the upcoming HBO movie “Mildred Pierce,” airing March 27.

“But it was for an important part of the film and it is incredibly powerful, not gratuitous,” she tells us. “I think the stuff they show on MTV is so much worse.”

Wood – who recently broke off her engagement to goth rocker Marilyn Manson – says women need to be more open and comfortable with their bodies. “Especially young women. I think it is okay for them to explore their sexuality, as long as they own it and it is portrayed in the right way.”

We caught up with the sexy 23 year-old in Los Angeles this week to get the scoop on “Mildred Pierce” (she plays the daughter of a middle class housewife struggling to maintain her family’s social status during the Great Depression) and the upcoming season of “True Blood.”

What vibe are you getting from the new season of “True Blood”?
I honestly don’t know what they are doing. But I know it is always going to be out of control.

How has your life changed since getting that role?
Fans of “True Blood” are so dedicated and intense. I get stopped on the street constantly now. People call me “The Queen,” which I don’t mind at all. Now that is how people address me.

Welcome to 2011! A new year, lots of exciting projects in store for Evan, and to start the year off she attended the HBO Winter 2011 TCA Panel for Mildred Pierce with a new hair colour! Her fiery red shade has been considerably lightened on top, and she’s now a lovely strawberry-blonde shade, with darker underneath. I love it! The first few pictures have been added to the gallery, with hopefully some HQs on the way. Huge thanks to Luciana for a batch of HQ images!

I’m glad you all like the new layout! I have just stumbled upon some more Gucci Guilty prints ads – one for the female fragance (a slightly different version to the previously posted pic), and a new one promoting the male (unfortunately tagged, but hopefully a bigger one will surface asap). I just love these pictures!

I got pretty bored with the previous layout, and I just knew that I had to do something with Evan’s latest shoot for NYLON – what do you guys think? Over the next week or so I’m going to be revamping/updating the content, so let me know what sort of thing you’d like to see on the side (aside from the pictures!). Please let me know if you get any errors in the layout at all, and let me know what you think of it!

Update: Just added episodes 03 and 04 from Once and Again to the gallery!

Another trailer for Mildred Pierce has been released! There’s only a brief glimpse of Evan in it (and only one new shot), but it looks like it’s going to be an amazing mini-series!
