Bill and Sookie Cuddle the Penguins at Sea World

Bill and Sookie Cuddle the Penguins at Sea World


This year, it seemed like a ton of celebs flocked down to San Diego for Comic Con from Robert Pattinson to Scarlett Johanssen to Johnny Depp and Megan Fox. And just how do all the Diegans feel about celebs invading their turf? Um, they kinda love it. Since most of the celeb actions happen "so close yet so far" away in Los Angeles, San Diegans actually get pretty thrilled when they spy celebs walking down their streets, or so one of our local friends says.

Still, it's good to see that the sexy vampire-human couple, Bill Compton and Sookie Stackhouse (aka Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin of True Blood), did the tourist thing and visited some of the attractions of San Diego during their Comic-Con stay. The duo hit up Sea World and frolicked with the penguins at the park's Penguin Encounter. JustJared.com has all the pics of the cuteness.

Non-celeb visitors to the Penguin Encounter can admire the 300 cold weather birds during the exhibit's regularly scheduled tour but it doesn't look like normal folk can go behind the scenes and cuddle the penguins like Bill and Sookie did.

However, there are two different ways to get up close with the dolphins. The Dolphin Encounter allows you to touch and feed the dolphins and starts at $45 per person. The Dolphin Interaction allows you to actually hop in and swim with the dolphins (which is what Anna did) and that starts at $170 per person. Regular park tickets are $65 for ages 10 and up.
