The Hollywood Reporter’s Philiana Ng (@insidethetube – follow her on Twitter!) has posted two more PaleyFest red carpet interviews. The first has Julie talking about what Katherine may be doing now, Damon as hero?, Tyler’s future, when we can expect the werewolf element to surface (at the earliest), Matt/Caroline, and who’s going out on a double date?

And Kevin talks about what’s in store for Bonnie as we head towards the season finale.

And thanks to Vampire Diaries Show, we have over 100 HQ photos from the PaleyFest red carpet/panel up in the Gallery.

There’s a lot of redundant stuff out there from PaleyFest, so I’m throwing the big ‘uns up now (most of which we’ve been retweeting on Twitter the past few days) and then I’ll add to this post with more linkage and fun stuff after I do my own write-up (which, honestly, I’m not going to tell you anything these people haven’t said, so expect something a bit more personal). But the below provides a pretty clear picture of the actual panel and there are a lot of video chats with Ian, Nina, Paul, Julie, and Kevin, where they drop some cool information.

KEC/Canal Point Elementary School’s award-winning school news program sent reporter Damon Weaver (you may remember Mr. Weaver’s interview with President Obama) to the NAACP 2010 Image Awards, where he caught up with Katerina Graham. In the end, I think Katerina is actually interviewing a distracted Mr. Weaver, yet he still manages to flirt. That’s talent. Thanks to @jayyu_p for the heads up!

We’ve been talking this event up here in the blog and on Twitter and now the big day has arrived: Members of the Vampire Diaries cast and creative team will be at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills this Saturday, March 6th at 7 p.m., all in the name of PaleyFest 2010. The Paley Center’s annual television festival honors a select number of shows every year and we know Vampire Diaries fans are flying in from as far away as North Carolina (!) to catch the TVD panel.

According to Paley’s website, confirmed guests are Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson, and Bob Levy, and possibly more members of the cast/production team will be in attendance. (Will they let Barbie Kligman out of The Room for this, you think?) Events typically consist of an episode screening (or exclusive footage – not saying this will happen here), and then a Q&A with guests. UPDATE: Julie Plec tweeted this tantalizing tease late Thursday night. Make of it what you will. ;)

Think you’ll be in the Paley area? Tickets are still available! I’ll be there (as will a slew of the Vampire Diaries fansite network, including @CW_VampDiaries, @NinaDobrevFan, and @kryptonsite, and quite a few recappers/podcast folk) and tweeting live over at @tvdnews. We’ll be sure to cover every nuance in the blog soon after. You can also get details live via @paleycenter. Give ‘em a follow!

Can’t make it but are dying to ask a question? Paley is accepting suggestions on the TVD event page. Just register and leave your question in the comments (scroll down the page).

Hope to see you there!

Paul Wesley attended Cosmopolitan’s Fun Fearless Males 2010 event (you’ll remember his photoshoot with Kellan Lutz?) at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City last night and, thanks to Vampire Diaries Show, we have some good quality photos to share. Also in attendance were the aforementioned Mr. Lutz, True Blood’s Stephen Moyer, Gerard Butler, Nathan Fillion, Ed Westwick, and other people in ties.

Let me tell you, it was a slog working through these, and then we had to decide which would be the big, featured one… SIGH. (The tiny “How you doin’?” smirk won out.) We’ve highlighted a few shots below and you can view all 65 photos (yes, 65!) in the Gallery.

Hollywood Life caught up with Mr. Wesley and asked who would win in a fight between the vampires of Vampire Diaries, Twilight, and True Blood:

Vampire Diaries‘ Paul Wesley stood by himself when asked which cast would win. “I would win any fight, any vampire fight,” he said. But, for him, the battle lies within the scenes of his own show. He admitted he’s thirsty for Damon’s (played by Ian Somerhalder) blood. “I would kick Damon’s ass! I’m convinced of that and I plan on kicking his ass in future episodes,” he shared with us.

That’s what we like to hear.

Just Be, who shared her videos from the LA Hot Topic Cast Tour last night, is back with some photos. You can click on the below images to check ‘em out (she was on Ian’s side of the stage, so they’re mostly of him) on her MySpace page.

Thanks to AP Images, we have a slew of photos up in the Gallery.

And thanks to blog commenter tanjuwka51 for sharing this video from the event, courtesy of PopStarOnline.com.

Big thanks to Just Be for sharing these two videos from yesterday’s Los Angeles Hot Topic event. First, you need to turn the volume on your computer way, way down. Did you do that? Okay, let’s proceed: the first video is Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, and Ian Somerhalder taking the stage for the Q&A, and the second video is… Well, it’s special. It’s Ian dancing. And we know how you guys feel about that.
