The Vampire Diaries is heating up after it’s long winter nap and just in time for the new episodes, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder have scored the cover of Nylon Magazine for February. Here is an excerpt:

On the similarities between Twilight, True Blood, and Vampire Diaries: “When the show first started… you automatically thought Twilight.  But once you continue, there’s a whole other side of it that goes a lot deeper… It’s about letting everyone know that we’re different but we all respect each other.” –Nina Dobrev

On the sudden success of the show: ““Do I think the show would be successful as it is, if it weren’t for all that? No.” –Paul Wesley

Hey Ian, is there any similarity between LOST and Vampire Diaries? “[My character] is gonna be the coolest character on television. There was no doubt about it. It reminded me of Sawyer, Josh Holloway’s character on LOST. He was always the character I secretly wished I could play.”

The show is hot hot hot and after this past week’s return with “Bloodlines” and all the reveals - the show is just getting better. Somerhalder also returns to ABC’s final season of LOST as Boone Carlyle on February 2nd. Check out TVD latest episode, “Unpleasantville” on Thursday January 28th at 8pm EST.

Aimee Teegarden signed on for a surfing flick, Beautiful Waves, this past summer and now AnnaSophia Robb is beginning production on her new film, Soul Surfer. Robb’s movie is based on the real life experiences of Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm after being attacked in the water by a shark and went on to become a pro surfer.

“She’s super cool. A great girl,” Hamilton said of Robb. “We’ve met in Hawaii and hung out.” For post-attack scenes in which a one-armed stunt woman was needed, Hamilton stepped up. “They wanted a one-armed person doing it and that’s not easy to find,” Hamilton said.

Another surf movie is fine with me. I loved Robb (and Josh Hutcherson) in Bridge to Terabithia. and I can’t wait to see her in this.
