If you’re a U.S. college student interested in TV and promotion, the CW has an opportunity for you: Making the Cut IV.

If you are a college student, “Making the Cut “ is challenging you to create a killer trailer that could jump start your creative career by winning an Unpaid internship at The CW Television Network. Did we mention your spot could air on TV? That’s right, your trailer airing on one of the biggest television networks on the planet. Does it get any better than that?

The creative objective of this competition (and don’t forget this is a competition) is to put together a piece of non-traditional promotion that captures the essence of one of the following shows: Gossip Girl, 90210, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries.

For more information on rules and how to enter, check out the CW Blog. Again, the contest is only open to U.S. citizens of 18 years of age or older. Contest deadline is April 23rd. Good luck!

Spider from FearNet caught up with Paul Wesley on the red carpet at PaleyFest. Paul discusses Stefan as a romantic figure and bad boy, and gives his take on why Vampire Diaries fans get so defensive about those Twilight comparisons.

Well, the hiatus may suck but the dry spell of promotional goodies seems to be over. Trailers, synopses and now some episode stills courtesy of KryptonSite. Looks like Stefan and Matt have found something to bond over in the shape of cars. Vroom! You can check out the rest of the stills for the episode in KryptonSite’s Vampire Diaries gallery.

(And can I just say how much it’s driving me insane having to omit the ‘u’ from neighbourhood? I might make Vee type up this title from now on…)

Twenty seconds of trailer for “A Few Good Men” last night not enough for you? Us, either. Here, have an extra ten seconds to drive yourselves nuts over with the extended trailer. ;)

 
The CW has also released the synopsis for episode 16, “There Goes the Neighborhood”, featuring more Kelly Donovan and some interesting dating news. Highlight/mouseover to reveal the details:

A NEW START — Anna brings a surprising guest along when she pays a visit to Damon. Elena and Stefan go on an awkward double date with Caroline and Matt, but Stefan and Matt find they have some common ground. Jenna reunites with her old friend Kelly, and Jeremy’s relationship with Anna takes an unexpected direction.

 
And finally, a roundup of interviews. Zach Roerig was recently a guest on the Friday Night Lights Fan Podcast. He discusses his former role as Cash on FNL and of course his current stint as Matt Donovan on the Vampire Diaries. Head on over to FNL Fans to listen. Nina Dobrev talks about what she expects to see in Elena’s future in five questions with TV Addict, Candice Accola talks to Orlando Magazine about her early career and growing up in Orlando (scroll down a bit for Candice’s section), and Paul Wesley sums up nicely what helps draw fans to the show.

“I think what the audience really loves about the show is how layered it is in terms of very gentle sarcasm and comedy. It just doesn’t take itself too seriously but yet serious enough. We’re all really proud of it.”

The CW has posted a new still from A Few Good Men, this time featuring Melinda Clarke as Kelly Donovan, Matt and Vicki’s mom. Our first (uh, smokin’ hot) look at Kelly, from There Goes the Neighborhood (EP16), was this past weekend, but as Red just put it, Ms. Donovan’s smirk here rivals Damon’s. See more A Few Good Men stills in the Gallery.
