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.

The intrepid Niyah of @CW_VampDiaries was at the Hot Topic Vampire Diaries Cast Tour stop in Los Angeles yesterday and managed a ton of fantastic photos and video of the madness, including part of A Fine Frenzy‘s performance. We know it was a long day of waiting, but huge thanks to Niyah for sticking out and sharing her experience with fellow fans. (And follow @CW_VampDiaries on Twitter!) Click to see bigger versions in the Gallery.
Check out the videos on @C_VD’s YouTube channel (five total). And here’s another fan video from the floor (courtesy of Jenny Rae – hi! Thanks for the email – we’re glad we could make you happy by posting your video!):
And Just Jared, Jr. has even MORE HQ photos from the event. UPDATE: And Jen from Nina Dobrev Fan, who was also in attendance, has some personal photos and a mini-recap up on her site. And AP Images has a crapton of great shots as well.
And the Unpleasantville chapter of The Televixen’s Vampire Diaries podcast is up: Nobody Puts Elena in the Corner. The ‘cast features Melissa (@thetelevixen, TheTelevixen.com), Connie (@conallen, Blast Magazine), Lucia (@heroine_tv, Heroine TV), and…me! This one was a lot of fun, as evidenced by the laughter throughout. We recorded it the night before Children of the Damned aired (that podcast should be up soon) and I think the prospect of flashbacks was making us a bit giddy.

So the Vampire Diaries cast had quite an adventure getting to Los Angeles for the Hot Topic signing/Q&A today. For a little while it looked like Paul Wesley would be the only member in attendance, with Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder unable to get out of Atlanta due to weather. The main lesson? Don’t underestimate these people because they are determined and they have…HELICOPTERS.
Yes, Nina and Ian managed to make it to L.A. for the Q&A and Twitter has been peppered with cast and fan updates throughout the day. Never let it be said that anyone or anything related to this show is half-assed. The fan reaction has been amazing – lots of gratitude going around.
Not a lot of tidbits yet, but the lovely Jen of Nina Dobrev Fan was there and tweeted to say that an official Vampire Diaries soundtrack may be forthcoming, a tidbit announced before A Fine Frenzy‘s set. Hopefully we’ll hear more about that very soon. (We also hope to hear an answer to this question, heh.)
Hills of Woodland has some photos from outside the signing. NOTE: There is no Vampire Diaries DVD set yet.
We’re sure KTLA and the CW will have plenty of snazzy photos and video up soon. In the meantime, we hope everyone at the Los Angeles event appreciated their experience all the more. Our cast is pretty damn awesome, yeah?

As all of you know by now, this past weekend was Nina Dobrev’s 21st birthday party in Las Vegas and there’s been a bunch of red carpet photos and video floating all over. (We’ll update this post with some of it soon.) But it wasn’t all play – she had an interesting tidbit to drop about the upcoming episode of Vampire Diaries, Bloodlines, in this Just Jared video (at the 3:29 mark).
Elena is… She’s just had this insane car accident and we’re going to pick up where we started and see what happens, and who rescues her, and where she goes. And she’s going to go on a little bit of a road trip. Let’s just say she’s going to find out a lot of shocking things. The end of this next episode is going to be extremely shocking and it’s going to take everyone by surprise. People are not going to expect what’s going to happen.
Watch the entire video at Just Jared.
UPDATE: A selection of photos and a video from the Studio 54 red carpet, courtesy of Getty Images and the ever-awesome Nina Dobrev Fan. In attendance: Nina Dobrev, Candice Accola, Katerina Graham, Sara Canning, Zach Roerig, Steven R. McQueen, Kayla Ewell, and we know Michael Trevino, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Matt Davis, and Julie Plec were there as well. (For those who’ve been asking us where the photos of Ian and Paul are, this may have something to do with it.) You can see more photos in the Gallery.
You can see a ton more photos from inside the party over at Just Jared, and in addition to the above red carpet video, there’s this one courtesy of gershwin9 on YouTube:

Here we go – specifics on Hot Topic’s Vampire Diaries Cast Tour, or at least the WHEN and WHERE. Click each poster to see more details on that city’s event on HotTopic.com.
Important: In order to score a wristband, you need to buy a Vampire Diaries Tour t-shirt at the participating Hot Topic store.
The wonderful Ella has let us know that the Kennesaw, GA Hot Topic was supposed to have the t-shirts today but now they will be on sale Wednesday (tomorrow) morning.
Need a refresher on how this works? Via Hot Topic:
Hot Topic, The CW Network and Warner Bros. Television have joined forces for The Vampire Diaries Tour! The tour will be making stops in Atlanta, GA on 1/23, Paramus, NJ on 1/30 and Los Angeles, CA on 2/13. At each stop, fans will get to meet select cast members from the show and attend a Q&A session. All you have to do is buy the exclusive The Vampire Diaries Tour T-shirt from a participating Hot Topic location which will get you a wristband that grants you access to the event!
Buy those shirts and have a blast! Tell ‘em we said “hi.” ;)

The CW has released a standalone People’s Choice spot for The Vampire Diaries‘ Favorite New TV Drama win:
Speaking of People’s Choice – remember that video of Paul and Nina we mentioned? The brief one that aired during the show, accepting Hollywood Style’s “Hottest Couple”? Thanks to Euras for pointing out that it’s now on YouTube – within the first 25 seconds of the video.
Often press runs for the show blur together and we’re not sure if something is an entirely new interview (hell, could be quotes from TCA or the London press tour, no idea), but we’ll mention it just in case: United Arab Emirates’ The National has an interview with Ian. The Vampire Diaries debuted in the UAE Monday night on MBC Action and, reading the article, it seems the network’s taking a gamble on how the show will play in the Middle East. You can also watch a new promo for the show (of so-so quality).
“I change all the time and my character changes with me,” he said with a laugh in response to a question about his somewhat boyish appearance in the show’s pilot in contrast to his sultry handsomeness in the promotional photos. “In every episode, Damon looks different. He really has the power to do whatever he wants and that includes changing his look.”
Read the interview over at the National.
And we’ll post a reminder this weekend, but Ian filmed a spot for Live with Regis & Kelly today. His segment will air next Monday, January 18th. (The week Vampire Diaries returns to your televisions.)

Thanks to RadarOnline for dropping us a line this morning about their chat with Sara Canning. (Which perked us up, must say. Think the only thing rarer than a Sara interview is a Steven R. McQueen one – cough.) She talks about moving in with Nina Dobrev, adjusting to Atlanta’s decidedly non-Canadian weather, and hints that those meaningful glances between Jenna and Alaric might graduate to…oh, well, who knows with this show? At least she seems to love working with Matt Davis, whom she deems “hysterical.” (But will Jenna come up with a snappy nickname for Alaric? “Scumfell” was a beautiful thing.)
Canning is definitely having fun with her role despite not being one of the high school characters. “I think Jenna is really fun to play because she is a parental figure on the show but is still really young herself,” the 22-year old actress said. “She is really feisty, spirited, and headstrong. And she’s still going through those rough patches with guys.”
Read the entire interview on RadarOnline.
The CW had a cocktail party following the TCA panel this past Saturday (Bloody Marys in honor of Vampire Diaries, nice one) and they’ve released some photos from the event, which you can view below, courtesy of Cynthia over at SFUniverse. (That’s CW president Dawn Ostroff with Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder). Note the Love Sucks threesome poster (the other one) – slightly different version than ones we’ve seen before.
@LilMissX has also posted some nice behind the scenes candids from TCA, including shots of Kevin Williamson and Nina, Ian with Dawn Ostroff and Nina and Ian playing with some Vampire Diaries promo goodies.
Lots of recaps coming out of the TCA panel, but this tidbit in particular gave us a good laugh this morning (and we’re begging the PTB to include this on the season one DVD set, por favor) – courtesy of Teen Television, re: on-set bloopers:
Paul: There was that blooper when you [Nina] were Katherine, and you had that really long dress and fell. She was trying to be all sexy.
Ian: Adorable and sexy.
Paul: And then she was “Boys, chase me”.
Ian: And then she like “wham,” and all you just see are her knickers.
Nina: And then I couldn’t get up because it was so much dress that I was just sitting there, like “save me.”
Paul: We’re hysterically laughing. Then we were like, “Are you okay?”
Ian: We didn’t even help her! It’s on camera. [She falls] and her petticoat goes up.

For those wanting clarification on who exactly Brandon Quinn will be playing in the next episode of Vampire Diaries (January 21st), Michael Ausiello has this tidbit via Kevin Williamson (highlight for spoilers):
Question: Got any scoop on who Brandon Quinn is playing in Vampire Diaries‘ Jan. 21 episode? –Seth
Ausiello: According to Diaries boss Kevin Williamson, “He’s a vengeful guy with a score to settle with Damon.”
Thanks to VDO for the heads up that the audio from the London Apple store appearance (with Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, and Ian Somerhalder) is now available on iTunes for your listening pleasure. Not that you haven’t already watched the videos five million times, but we understand the need for completion.
