An upcoming beauty pageant in Mystic Falls will have at least one new cast member added to The Vampire Diaries. Spencer Locke, the 18 year old most recently seen on TV in Cougar Town and her big screen role in Resident Evil: Afterlife, joins the bloody mayhem as Amber for at least one episode in April.

Turns out Amber is a beauty pageant contestant who will compete in late April episode against Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Caroline (Candice Accola) to be the next Miss Mystic Falls. This sounds like a fun follow-up to the bachelor auction Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Alaric (Matthew Davis) will take part in when the show returns with a new episode (”A Few Good Men”) on March 25.

Malese Jow, who plays vampire Anna, tweeted this photo of her and Locke in Atlanta. Will Locke’s Amber be human or vampire? Guess we will have to wait until April to find out…

“The Vampire Diaries” Salvatore brother, Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore) and Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvator) looked absolutely delish at the 27th Annual PaleyFest held at the Saban Theater in Los Angeles, California on Saturday (March 6).

The “brothers” and co-star Nina Dobrev were very gracious distributing a lot of charm and smiles for the cameras and the fans at the event. It was a unique opportunity to get to know them better (read more details here).

The cast, writers and producers of CW’s breakout hit show, The Vampire Diaries appeared Saturday night at the Paley Festival in Los Angeles. The annual event gives both press and fans a chance to interact with the stars and the creative forces behind their favorite shows. TVD stars Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev were joined by writers and producers Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec and Bob Levy. Here’s what we’ve learned:

• The audience got to view the March 25th episode ‘A Few Good Men’ and (I won’t spoil it for you) but you will find out who Elena’s biological mom is.
• Williamson (who brought us TV’s Dawson’s Creek and the Scream movies) said he was initially worried when he began reading the books - that they were too Twilight-ish. At Plec’s urging, he kept reading and realized how different they were and hopped on board.
• Williamson loves loves loves cliffhangers and the season ending will have between 7 to 9 loose ends to keep viewers guessing!
• The fog has gone away (THANK YOU!) and no more actors changing to animals.

Good stuff coming up. Looking forward to the new episodes returning March 25th.

The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev is springtime pretty on the cover of Seventeen magazine for April 2010. The actress opened up about her costars to the mag:

“We had a couple six-year-olds who came to a signing and actually thought that Ian Somerhalder [who plays Damon] was a vampire, and they were terrified of him. We had this one little girl go up to him, and she was really shy, and her mom was like, ‘She has something to tell you.’ And Ian leaned over and was like, ‘What is it, sweetheart?’, and the little girl says, ‘Try to be a good boy.’ And he was like, ‘Okay, sweetie…for you I’ll try.’”

“The first time Paul [Wesley] and I met, I met nine other guys as well because I had already been cast and they were deciding for the Stefan role. I had to read with like 30 studio executives, and they were just kind of watching and analyzing because that was the whole point of the test…they wanted to see who had the best chemistry. And everyone was great, but Paul had this old soul, like a history that you could feel…he seemed like he’d been around longer, and knew more, and he had a grasp for the character different from anyone else.”

Zach Roerig is still a small town boy at heart. The Vampire Diaries actor - he plays Matt Donovan, Elena’s (Nina Dobrev) ex and Caroline’s (Candice Accola) maybe current boyfriend - gave Teen Vogue a peek into how he got started acting, his family history with gravestones and a big red barn he’s working on.

On the gravestones: Yeah, my family business was monuments. I’d been doing that since I was able to tie my own work boots. I’m from a really, really small town in Ohio and it was always set up that I was going to be the guy to take over the business. Then in high school, I told my folks I might want to give acting a shot.

Not going into the family business: When I was like 16, I drove to Cleveland every weekend to study at a small boutique acting school–it’s actually the same school that Sean Faris started out at, and that’s how I knew him before he came on the show [as Mystic Grill's bartender Ben McKittrick]. Then three days after high school, I took off for New York.

Summer downtime or If you build it, they will come: Ideally, I’d like to do a movie. But if I’m not, I’ll be in L.A doing some paddle boarding, kayaking, camping, and probably some surfing. I’ll go back to Ohio to finish some work on my barn–we have a family barn that’s really, really old. I’m going to get it stained barn red and get it painted. This is going to sound really country, but I’d like to get it in an Ohio barn magazine or something. I don’t know if there is an Ohio barn magazine–I might even try to get one published.

His barn painting days may be numbered. It looks like Roerig’s storyline and screen time will be expanding as his mom makes an appearance (the characters all find out Vicki is dead) and I like pairing Matt with Caroline on the show. New episodes of TVD return March 25th.

While waiting for The Vampire Diaries to return with new episodes (March 25th), producer Julie Plec is serving up a slice of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) & Elena (Nina Dobrev) heaven for fans who are Team Damon - from EW’s Ask Ausiello:

Question: I am dying here without Vampire Diaries! Please give us some scoop on the Damon-Elena relationship because I am loving it! —Ash
Ausiello: Then prepare to love this season’s final strong of episodes, which exec producer Julie Plec tells me will be heavily focused on the pair. “We’ll see Damon start to look at Elena as more than just his brother’s girlfriend or the doppelganger to the love of his life,” she reveals. “He’ll start to love and understand her as a human being, which is ironic because Damon could typically give a s–t about anything involving humanity. It’s some good stuff.”

The Vampire Diaries doesn’t return until March 25th with a new episode but until then, here are a couple of hints about what’s to come in the final few episodes of the season. E!Online’s Watch with Kristen has some dish (get the spoilers by clicking the link below.)

Mae in Atlanta: Please tell me some of the sexy Vampire Diaries stars are hooking up in real-life!
Not so, says Candice Accola (Caroline). “There’s so much heat going on onscreen—we’re all just a family,” Candice tells us with a laugh. “I wish there was some juice or some crazy things going down, but not really. We disgustingly all just get along, and no one’s dating.” So apparently all the drama is happening on the show? Hmph!

Freshman hit The Vampire Diaries got the official word - season two is a go! The breakout hit on the CW network will give us more Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and all the vampire/human drama we can handle.
