True Blood stars Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard this week join a long line of celebrities -- they range from Jennifer Aniston to Lady Gaga to the Red Hot Chili Peppers -- who have posed nude for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. The photo, by Matthew Rolston, shows the three naked and dripping in blood, nothing viewers of the hit HBO series haven't already seen. Still, it makes for a provocative image.

The issue hits newsstands tomorrow; the cover story will be available online beginning Friday.
