Wood sat down recently with renowned E! gossip queen Marc Malkin to discuss her role as Louisiana's renowned vampire queen, Sophia.

The 21-year old couldn't really say much, lest series creator Alan Ball smite her, but she did offer titillating hints that her character will bed another female and, possibly, a man.

She's not necessarily a lesbian.... Her human partner is a girl, but I'm pretty sure she goes both ways. I think vampires are like that in general.

Just as note: Wood once dated Marilyn Manson and made out with Mickey Rourke. And that's all we'll say....

Here at Defamer, we've put on our Yenta hats to help Rourke weigh his (plentiful) options.

COURTNEY LOVE: If the British tabloids are to be believed (and we are praying to Jesus, Santa, and Barack Obama that they've nailed this particular story), Rourke has been secretly dating Courtney Love for the past three weeks. Obviously, this would be an amazing red carpet duo—just think of the money that could be saved on pre-ceremony, his-and-hers collagen injections!
Likeliness: 8. Love has been to the Oscar ceremony once before and she's not about to turn down her only shot to go again. Hold on with your wraithlike fingers and ride that misshapen pony to the Academy Awards, girl!

BAI LING: If there's anyone who could possibly outdo Love as Rourke's date, it's former fling Bai Ling. In fact, if there's anyone who could possibly outdo Bjork's infamous swan dress, it's Bai Ling. We're crossing our fingers that her potential Oscar frock of rubber bands, jelly bracelets, and nipple-covering sand dollars comes to fruition.
Likeliness: 6. Bai's early surge has seemed to fade. "Mickey is a powerful actor, I respect and enjoy his work and I am his big surportor [sic] and fan, he is going to win Oscar for sure," she recently wrote on her blog. In other words, it was an honor just to be nominated.

LOKI: Rourke's elderly chihuahua Loki has thus far been his most frequent red carpet companion.
Likeliness: 9. There's little that could tear Loki from Rourke's side—except that proven temptress Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

EVAN RACHEL WOOD: What better promotion for The Wrestler than to bring costar/onscreen daughter/french-kissing partner Evan Rachel Wood as his date?
Likeliness: 3. "I feel disrespected by the press and by Mr. Rourke," Wood recently said. Potential upside: maybe she was talking about this guy?

THE FRENCH FLASHER: If Rourke wants to strengthen The Wrestler's overseas profile, there's no better way than to squire the Parisian pixie who unexpectedly bared her breasts to him.
Likeliness: 4.We're holding out hope, if only to hear the red carpet fashionistas ask, "Who aren't you wearing?"

Rourke's Wrestler daughter/potential lover Evan Rachel Wood has something to get off her chest, and so she talked to Rolling Stone blogger Austin Scaggs, who, SIDENOTE, you really must read Austin Scaggs's introduction to this story, in which he brags that Wood is his BFF because they were briefly introduced once two years ago when Scaggs was assigned to interview Marilyn Manson. He hasn't seen her since that night, but still! Besties. Anyway, here is what Scaggs had to say about Wood:

With no other friend in the press to turn to, we heard from Evan this morning. She has been so distraught by these rumors, and the attention they have taken away from the brilliant movie, that she asked us to pass along this message. And we obliged.

"I’m upset because I feel disrespected by the press and by Mr. Rourke," she told us. "Just because I’m single doesn’t mean that you can take advantage of me. It’s unfair that the performances might suffer because of all of these distractions."

And regarding her alleged affair with Mr. Rourke, Wood says, "I'm not attracted to him, he's too old for me. Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will."

What exactly did Rourke do to "disrespect" Wood? Did she fall to a distant fourth in the Oscar companion sweepstakes that includes Bai Ling, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and a chihuahua? Or, when told that Wood would be making her Broadway debut opposite Spider-Man, did Rourke blithely mutter, "That fag?"

Says Fox News:

The two attended Grey Goose’s Official SAG after-party at the Shrine on Sunday evening but were spotted leaving together enroute to the later after party at the Four Seasons Hotel. According to Pop Tarts spies, the actress went upstairs with Rourke (whose second marriage ended over a decade ago) when he suddenly grabbed her for a lip-lock in the outside area of the swanky five-star hotel.

The duo have been romantically linked since she played his daughter in "The Wrestler," although Wood always denied that they were anything more than friends.

Reps for Rourke and Wood did not respond for comment.

Screwing your on-screen blood relations: it's 2009's newest hot trend! Between Wood, Bai Ling, and his elderly chihuahua, Rourke is facing quite the collection of potential Oscar dates; we encourage the actor to split his sweeties by squiring one to the awards ceremony, one to Wrestlemania, and one to the vet to check for worms. Any combination will do.

So who will be her PETER PARKER? Will it be Jim Sturgess, her Across the Universe co-star who has been long rumored (and the perfect fit)?

Wood said they are, "still trying to convince him."

They have their work cut out for them, as it will take a lot more than a midnight call from Bono pleading, "Yo Jim. Look, I don't know much. I'm just an Irish rock star frontin' the Biggest Band in the World, but believe me when I tell you brotha, when I wrote 'Spidey, Webby Spidey,' I only had your voice in mind. If you don't want to do it for me, do it for Africa" to do the trick.
