Nina Dobrev has a lot of practice not answering direct questions when it comes to The Vampire Diaries, but she does give a few hints about an upcoming scene in this interview from Hollywire. She also gives some props to castmate Kat Graham for her work on The Ripple Effect event, and talks about her own experiences visiting Africa.
Ian Somerhalder was his usual eloquent self at the event, talking about the need for clean water and his own thoughts about working on projects like these.
As well as his favorite scene he’s shot so far this season (hint: it hasn’t aired yet):
Arielle Kebbel also took a few moments to talk on the red carpet, you can watch the video of her talking with Mingle Media TV on YouTube.

We’re closing this week’s FNB with a special shout out to some of the TVD extras. Actors Joshua Haire, Ashlyn Henson and Justin Greer (aka Jimmy, Mason Lockwood’s unfortunate Floridian pal) have been hard at work on an independent film called All Hallows Evil: Lord Of The Harvest. Check out the teaser trailer below!

It’s that time of year again – the holidays are upon us and there are a lot of great causes out there that could use some support. We all know how active The Vampire Diaries cast is when it comes to good works, and it looks like they (along with their fellow CW actors) are getting some network support so fans can know which causes their favorites support. From the press release:
December 7, 2011 (Burbank, CA) – The CW has launched Causes to Care About, an online destination where viewers can learn more about the charities embraced by the stars of their favorite CW shows, and donate to their favorite causes this holiday season.
Fans can go to causes.cwtv.com to find videos from stars of many of The CW’s primetime shows, in which each actor talks about why their chosen charity is one close to their heart. The site will also link to each actor’s chosen charity, so fans can easily donate directly to them.
Check out all the participating actors and their causes here at the CW.
Speaking of ISF, Ian Somerhalder’s birthday is tomorrow, and he’d like to share his birthday wish with all of you.
Donate now to win a ticket to attend The Ripple Effect fundraiser for The Water Project with Kat Graham and Ian Somerhalder.
Lastly, there’s still time to win a chance to have dinner with Paul Wesley and Torrey DeVitto, all while supporting Global Roots.

Buddy TV compiled a list of TV’s Top 100 Sexiest Men, and the TVD fellas are all over it. Joseph Morgan, Paul Wesley, Michael Trevino, and Ian Somerhalder all made the list. Well done, gents!
You know what else? It’s not just us. Apparently everyone loves talking about Nina Dobrev, she just turned up as #8 on the list of actresses that are hot topics on Twitter.
