The Vampire Diaries has only two new episodes left between now and the holidays so they have to pack the kinda punch that keeps everyone hooked until the January 2011 shows. The big teaser all season long has been will Tyler (Michael Trevino) Lockwood activate the curse (yes!) and when will his transformation to a werewolf be seen. Executive producer Julie Plec explained the upcoming December 2nd episode like this:

“They shot it (the transformation) over two days. Closed set, special effects makeup guys, visual effects guys, Michael Trevino ready to rip out his soul and expose it bare to the world. I think if it’s even half as good as what we want it to be, it’s gonna be amazing.”

This part we already knew, but what she says next is kinda spoilery so don’t go further if you don’t want to know!

Teen Vogue gleeks out for the December 2010 cover with Lea Michele and Cory Monteith of Glee. The break out hit on FOX has everyone talking and as Rachel and Finn, they are often at the center of the plot any given week. The two have grown into close friends off camera as well as you can see by their rapport in the interview. They talk about how they got started in show biz and no matter what, they love their jobs:

How did they start out?:
Cory Monteith: I’ll make it quick. I was 20 years old, working as a roofer and a telemarketer and driving a taxi, just barely getting by. A friend of a friend suggested I try acting. I was like, “Why? What am I going to do? Community theater?” But I took a class, and the teacher thought that I had potential, so I moved to Vancouver and started auditioning. I slept on someone’s floor. I brought, like, two shirts and two pairs of pants.

Lea Michele: I didn’t expect to be an actor either. But I went to an audition, and I got a job. After my first night on stage, I turned to my parents and said, “I love doing this—don’t ever stop me.” But I was very content; I figured that my life’s path was to be a Broadway performer. I only came out to L.A. because, after Spring Awakening—

Cory Monteith: You were in Spring Awakening? Sorry. That’s a joke.

Lea Michele: Whenever we do an autograph signing and someone says, “I loved you in Spring Awakening,” he says, “You were in Spring Awakening?” So anyway—I didn’t think there’d ever be a part that was fitting for someone who looked like me, who acted like me. I was just stepping away from Broadway for a few months, and then Glee came around. And it’s really opened my eyes to this world of film and television and made me realize that maybe there’s a place for me.

Imagine Little Red Riding Hood: a young woman walking through the hushed snowy woods wearing a bright red cape, she hears every sound and imagines the worst; looking over her shoulder terrified by what is out there, following her. A story more for grown-ups than for children, the photo above sets the mood for the new telling of a very old tale.

Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke is taking on the classic Brothers Grimm folktale and giving it a gothic/horror twist with werewolves, demons and Amanda Seyfried as Valerie, the title character, torn between two suitors. Hardwicke gives Seyfried lots of praise:

”I’ve never seen her like this in a role before,” raves director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight). ”She’s supersexy, wild. And those big eyes of hers are totally out of a fairy tale.”

I love this image – can’t wait for more. I am very excited to see what kind of energy and pulse this cast create: Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Lukas Haas and the almost Edward Cullen: Shiloh Fernandez.

The movie, now titled Red Riding Hood (it was originally The Girl with the Red Riding Hood) is set for March 2011 release.

Katerina Graham was on hand to honor Glee’s Jane Lynch at the LA Gay and Lesbian Center’s 39th Anniversary Gala held at the Hyatt Regency Plaza Hotel in West Hollywood, California on Saturday November 13th. The “Cold Hearted Snake” singer was dressed in a one shoulder icy blue lace dress that was gorgeous on her. Other stars on hand, Glee guys Matthew Morrison and Ryan Murphy, Kathy Griffin and Perez Hilton.

Graham’s storyline on The Vampire Diaries is starting to kick in and it’s shaping up to be a very interesting arc for her witch character, Bonnie Bennett. Not only is Bonnie getting flirty with Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) she now has another guy checking her out. Luka, (Bryton James) a fellow spellcaster, could be trouble for Miss Bennett. We also found out in the “Katerina” episode (named after vampire Katherine) that Bonnie, Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) are integral parts of the doppleganger storyline involving Elena (Nina Dobrev). I won’t give it away in case you haven’t seen the episode yet – check it out when they upload it on CWTV sometime this week.
