“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.

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!

After watching The Vampire Diaries ‘Unpleasantville’ last night, I realized that Mystic Falls is the US headquarters of ‘Vampires-R-Us’ and there is some kind of super villain convention going on for the Free Katherine society - let’s make t-shirts! Here is a recap the fifties decade dance of death episode

Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is getting stalked by Anna (Malese Jow) who also happens to be a vampire. Poor Jeremy. She only wants him for one thing: the Gilbert family diary which contains the answers to releasing Katherine from her tomb prison. Fortunately, Jeremy gave the old journal with written instructions (why would you write that down??) to his history teacher (and vampire hunter/hater) Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis.)

Vampire love isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and by the looks of the crowd that turned out to the Hot Topic store, the human cast members of The Vampire Diaries were welcomed to the Town Center Mall in Kennesaw, Georgia. On hand: Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Katerina Graham, Candice Accola, Zach Roerig, Sara Canning, Matt Davis, Michael Trevino, and Steven R. McQueen were signing autographs and answering fan questions on Saturday afternoon. From the Q&A:

When one fan asked her [Nina Dobrev] who was a better kisser between Stefan and Ian [Damon], she responded as any lady would, “I’m a girl who never kisses and tells.” The competition between Ian’s and Paul Wesley’s fans was almost as intense as Team Edward vs. Team Jacob, but the boys were able to joke about it. Paul said, “Well, Damon’s crazy, and Damon drives Stefan crazy.” To end the quarrel Nina told the crowd she would pick “Defan” (a mixture of Damon and Stefan) their “other” brother over the two vampires to date.

Some of the cast will be stopping at Hot Topic stores in California and New Jersey. Get the list here.

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.

TVD is heating up again and new episodes resume tonight with “Bloodlines” - the Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) relationship takes center stage as they take an unexpected road trip together.

Here is a short interview with Somerhalder:

The Vampire Diaries returns tonight, Thursday January 21st at 8pm EST on the CW Network.

The Vampire Diaries happens to be one of my favorite new shows this year. Until new episodes start again, here is a short interview Ian Somerhalder did before the holidays and the show’s winter break to tide us over for the return.

In this, Somerhalder talks about Stefan’s (Paul Wesley) current diet of no human blood and how it might be possible to see that change, as well as how his character, Damon, might take a turn for the better. He also confesses to having been a bad boy - all with his very sexy smirk on his face. Love it!

New episodes start up Thursday, January 21st.

Candice Accola’s Caroline has been having a rough time onscreen lately. The Vampire Diaries actress has had her character become a living blood bank to satisfy Damon Salvatore’s thirst. After freeing him from the dungeon, Damon (played perfectly by Ian Somerhalder) has thrown her aside alive, thankfully! Caroline is leaning on Matt (Zach Roerig) for support and maybe a little more. Accola weighs in on whether Caroline is ready for another boyfriend/romance/hook-up so quickly after her nightmare time with Damon:

“I don’t think Caroline needs a boyfriend, unless he’s going to be really good to her,” she told Hollywood Crush. “I think she’s got a lot on her plate between her friend’s a witch now [Bonnie played by Katerina Graham] … and getting over a relationship with her mother and her estranged father, who ran off with his lover. I think she’s got a full plate… but if it’s good love, that can never hurt.”

I loved the chemistry between Somerhalder and Accola so I hope there is more to come - a little revenge for Caroline would be super fun.

The Vampire Diaries are on hiatus until January 2010  *sigh*

And Happy Birthday to Ian Somerhalder!

Kayla Ewell attended the TV Guide Magazine Hot List Party in Los Angeles Tuesday night at the SLS Hotel The Bazaar in a sizzling hot dress. The actress was recently killed off the super hot show ‘The Vampire Diaries’ by Damon (Ian Somerhalder) but Ewell looks like she hasn’t missed a beat in her slinky fire engine red number.
