The Vampire Diaries season 3 premiere is still too far away, but luckily the CW is giving us naked Ian Somerhalder to tide fans over.

Yep, that’s right. Damon gets soaped up in the new sizzle reel and gives Elena (Nina Dobrev) an eyeful.

And being TVD, you have to wait for it – around the 3:10 mark.

It’s mostly a rehash of what happened last year: Stefan (Paul Wesley) going on a blood bender with Klaus (Joseph Morgan). Elijah (Daniel Gillies) explaining the hybrid deal. Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) and the ghosts of girlfriends past (Malese Jow & Kayla Ewell) after Bonnie’s (Kat Graham) spell has unintended consequences. Caroline (Candice Accola) and Matt (Zach Roerig) trying to keep Tyler (Michael Trevino) from biting them while in wolf form.

Then, like in every episode, the last few moments bring the wow…

The Vampire Diaries is all new tonight and after last weeks showdown of Tyler and the wolf pack VS Stefan & Damon (with a little big Jonas assist) Stefan and Elena try to get away from it all and have a nice weekend of togetherness. Not happening.

Here is the official synopsis of episode 2.14 “Crying Wolf”

Catch it on The CW at 8pm ET.

SECRETS AND LIES — Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) get away for what they hope will be a romantic weekend at the Gilbert family lake house, not realizing that they’ve been followed. Jenna (Sara Canning) starts to worry that Alaric (Matt Davis) isn’t being honest with her. Jules (guest star Michaela McManus) explains the importance of the sun and moon curse to Tyler (Michael Trevino), but leaves out an important detail. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) attends a tea at the Historical Society in order to talk to Elijah (guest star Daniel Gillies), but Elijah isn’t giving up any secrets. With help from Caroline (Candice Accola) and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), Bonnie (Katerina Graham) uses deceptive measures to get shocking new information out of Luka (guest star Bryton James). Finally, Tyler offers Matt (Zach Roerig) some relationship advice. David Von Ancken directed the episode written by Brian Young (#214).

Candice Accola stepped out to the Art of Elysium’s 4th Annual Black Tie “Heaven” Charity Gala 2011 that honored actor James Franco with the “Spirit of Elysium” award.

The Vampire Diaries actress wore a lovely open neck dress with sheer black overlay for the event and looked beautiful.

Unfortunately, Accola and the rest of the TVD cast don’t return with new episodes until January 27th when lucky Candice gets kissed by both Zach Roerig and Michael Trevino in the same episode. Did I mention how lucky she is?

In one season on The Vampire Diairies, Candice Accola’s Caroline has gone from human midnight snack for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to a powerful, slightly neurotic vampire forging a friendship (and possible romance) with werewolf in waiting Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino). Accola sees the two forming a sort of alliance that is becoming so strong, all things are possible between the two supernatural characters:

There are hints that Tyler and Caroline’s friendship is something more. Are we going to see them develop a romance?
A lot of great romances can grow from friendship. Of course, there’s definitely a possibility of that. Whether or not that’s going to happen, I don’t know. We’re not that much farther ahead of the audience. So I really don’t know. I know that … Caroline’s the only one that knows what Tyler’s been going through, so that friendship isn’t just going to go away. There’s something there. Whether that turns into a romantic relationship or whether it turns into a really beautiful support system for one another, who knows. The fans will just have to stay tuned and watch.

Romance or friendship-wise, do you think they’re doomed in a way since vampires and werewolves are historically enemies?
It’s definitely got a Romeo and Juliet quality to it, the idea of them becoming romantic. Who knows? That didn’t end very well with Romeo and Juliet. [Laughs] Hopefully, it wouldn’t be that same result for Caroline and Tyler. I don’t know. Really, right now, the most prominent thing going on between both of them is finding a safe place for Tyler to transform. It’s really about his transformation right now. It’s not about anything else, which I think is such a wonderful thing because, for Caroline, any involvement with a member of the opposite sex was immediately sexual throughout the first season. It was immediately like crush-worthy. It wasn’t just like a friendship. I think it’s just a lovely way of showing that she as a character has grown within the second season. It’s more than just about a boy I immediately have to have a crush on. It’s a friendship. It’s something a little bit more substantial.

So what is in store for Caroline & Tyler? The last two shows of 2010 on December 2nd and 9th deal with the werewolves and Tyler’s transformation so there should be lots of scenes together. Should we call them Cyler or Taroline or Fockwood? Either way – I like the Romeo and Juliet aspect of these two characters.

Accola has truly been a wonderful surprise in the second season of TVD – and for a show that is consistently raising the bar every week with twists and shockers – that is saying something.

Check out The Vampire Diaries episode 2.10 “The Sacrifice” on Thursday December 2nd on The CW.

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.
