Ready to get your heart ripped out? Take another shot of Vampire Diaries’s 11th episode, the aptly titled Bloodlines, at 8/7c on the CW. It’s all bombshells and bomb-shells with Malese Jow’s first appearance as Anna, Gina Torres as one of Damon’s old flames, and that huuuuge revelation in the last ten minutes. Oh, right, and there’s that whole Elena n’ Damon road trip thing and Stefan’s abuse of cell phones and pod!Jeremy making with the library-learnin’. Go forth and discuss the good times over in the forums, and you can even chime in on the episode poll. Or perhaps you need a reminder of all those great songs you heard in this ep. New episodes of The Vampire Diaries return not soon enough March 25th! Refresh your anticipation by watching the promo trailer again.

The ratings for “Bloodlines” are in, with the episode being watched by 3.7 million viewers. From TV By the Numbers:
The return after an extremely long hiatus wasn’t kind to Vampire Diaries as its 1.6 for adults 18-49 may have tied a series low (checking now) in that demo. Supernatural fared better, its 1.3 adults 18-49 rating was slightly above its season average for new episodes. In the CW target demo, Vampire Diaries scored a 2.5 rating for women 18-34, tied for second in the timeslot.
And on the subject of “Bloodlines”, the episode is now available to download from Amazon if you’re in the USA. Fans in the UK can also download it from iTunes.
We’ve got a title for episode 15 of the Vampire Diaries, which will be called “A Few Good Men”. I don’t know about you, but it puts the strangest image in my head of Damon and Tom Cruise’s Lestat going head to head in a Mystic Falls court room.
There are some more spoilers zinging around about what we can expect for the second half of the season. Ausiello has a little spoiler about who Damon is going to hook up with next, while E!’s Kristin has some snippets from Julie Plec, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev on subjects such as the love triangle, Damon’s phenomenal kissing ability and what’s in store for Elena (aside from potentially being knocked out with a kiss from Damon).
The Hot Topic cast tour is under way in Atlanta, and the cast are currently signing autographs. While fans weren’t allowed to take cameras in, both Nina Dobrev and Michael Trevino tweeted some pictures for the fans. Nina’s photo shows her fellow cast mates to be a nice, normal bunch, while Michael seems to inspire them to display a little more insanity. ;) The Q&A session will be taking place shortly.
Finally, while Ella was visiting the set yesterday, Nina informed her that she’s NOT going to be at the Insurgence: Bloodlines convention in the UK in March. We’ve contacted Rogue Events to find out what’s going on there, and will let you know if we hear anything.

This post is a sticky. Keep scrolling to get to more recent news.
COMPLETE SONGLIST FOR BLOODLINES.
You know, it’s been so long since we’ve done this that we’ve almost forgotten how. Luckily, the hiatus is finally over! We’ve got a brand new episode tonight, and no sign of another hiatus on the horizon for the near future. Life is looking good, eh, Vampire Diaries fans? ;)
Watch and then swing by here to rate the new episode of The Vampire Diaries. Spoilers are welcome in the comments, though if you want some more in-depth discussion then head on over to the forums! (You’ll need to register, but it takes two seconds.)
A REMINDER: If you’re still having sound problems (or have excessive skipping, stuttering or glitches) while watching the broadcast, please let us know in the comments.
Quick guide to the poll options: Two words. ROAD TRIP! Elena’s is upside down in a ditch, so they’re off for an adventure in Damon’s car. 5 cars = LOVE. 1 car = MEH.

Vampire Diaries TV fans, your long hiatus nightmare is over. Grab your favorite snack, your favorite blanket or loved one (yes, cats count), and nestle into the couch for the first new episode since November 19th: Bloodlines airs at 8/7c on the CW. When we last left the Mystic Falls crew, Elena’s world had been turned upside down (quite literally), Stefan was left questioning why he didn’t do a “just in case” quick-clean at Mossy Manse, and Damon was out in the middle of the woods being…well, Damon. And let’s not forget the rest of the crew, with the head, nose and heart trauma, raging parental issues, lingering glances and coy smiles. And what is up with that way creepy pop and lock action in the middle of the road?
Oh, and did we mention this kick-ass lady? (Points to blog photo.) Not to mention the slew of new faces we’re set to meet tonight. The Vampire Diaries is back and “the Tomb Chapter” starts now.
And we’d like to take the time to remind you about this, which heads to Atlanta THIS WEEKEND (click the graphic for more details):

Katerina Graham dropped by to discuss the Vampire Diaries and her music with PIX Morning News. There’s a new sneak peek for Bloodlines featuring Bonnie and Grams, and be warned: discussion is a little bit spoilery for the episode.

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:
