Being the fans of the fang-ed that we are here at Hollywood Crush, (see: “Twilight,” “True Blood,” “Vampire Diaries,” etc.) nothing delights us more than learning that the actors who portray the vamps in our favorite films and TV shows would love a vampire-on-vampire-type crossover as much as we would.

Case in point: “Twilight” actress Nikki Reed, who’s been filming “Catch .44″ with “True Blood”’s Deborah Ann Woll , is an admitted “True Blood” fanatic.

When Nikki stopped by to chat about her upcoming Indie “Last Day of Summer,” we asked her if she and Woll connected over their blood bonds. (Pun totally intended)

“We’re both equally fascinated by I think the passion behind the admiration for vampires,” Nikki explained. “I really love ‘True Blood’ and I envy her. I would do anything to have a guest spot on the show, hint hint,” she said with a wink.

“That’s what we talked about most,” Nikki added. “She was talking about ‘Twilight,’ and I was commenting on her show, and what we like about each other’s work, and I think that she wins.”

We then suggested that we should get Nikki on the “True Blood” set to do some reconnaissance, but she revealed that she and Deborah have already planned it out:

“I’m going to visit her on the set one day, coincidentally, and be like ‘Hey Alan! Alan Ball, how are ya? … You know it could be funny because I’m in ‘Twilight,’ that could be funny?’ I don’t think they’ll go for it,” Nikki said. “[But] I’m willing to push myself.”

And the kicker, for us (especially since this writer favors the warm-blooded weres over the vamps), would Nikki consider playing against type and tackling the role of a shifter, were or other being?

“I think I would like to try being a werewolf,” she said.

So I think if I would have been at this party, I would have been in Vampire Heaven (Don’t forget to throw in Chuck Bass!)

Hollywood Life caught up with three vampires – one from each cast — Stephen Moyer, Kellan Lutz, and Paul Wesley — at Cosmopolitan magazine’s “Fun Fearless Male Awards” at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC on Mar. 1 and they admitted there might be some ass kicking involved if the three casts were ever to fight. And who would win? True Blood’s Stephen Moyer thinks, “We could take both of them [Twilight and Vampire Diaries] down at the same time!”

Stephen, who plays Bill Compton, continued, “We are much older than those whipper snappers [and] just me and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard )” would tear the other two casts apart in a matter of seconds!

Twilight’s Kellan Lutz agreed that True Blood would carry the deadliest stake: “I think True Blood would kick all our asses. Eric on True Blood) would kick all our asses. He’s a bad ass on the show.” But, he continued, “Really, who knows. We all have different strengths and powers.” For the Cullen clan, “you have to rip us apart. That can be tough if you [don't have] super human strength to do that.”

Vampire Diaries‘ Paul Wesley stood by himself when asked which cast would win. “I would win any fight, any vampire fight,” he said. But, for him, the battle lies within the scenes of his own show. He admitted he’s thirsty for Damon’s (played by Ian Somerhalder) blood. “I would kick Damon’s ass! I’m convinced of that and I plan on kicking his ass in future episodes,” he shared with us.
