@CWBrandi sent out a heads up a few weeks ago, and now we can finally see Paul Wesley’s cover story for Women’s Wear Daily. You have to be a subscriber to view the interview and accompanying photos on their site, but thanks to VDSource for the heads up that you can view the entire article (and very nice photos!) over at Lovely Sucks.
“Season one was incredibly taxing on me because I got a little too almost method and it got a little bit intense for me as far as affecting my personal being,” says Wesley (though obviously not literally method considering his character’s proclivities). “I’ve made a very conscientious decision to try not to take home what I do at work, which I was not really capable of at first. But I realized, this is a marathon, not a sprint, so I’m preparing myself for the long run.”
Katerina Graham talks with the Hartford Courant about her New Year’s Even party at the Shrine in Connecticut, as well as her career so far and her New Year’s resolutions.
Q: Who is your own favorite witch?
A: I love the witches in the “Wizard of Oz.” When I was younger I loved “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and Willow from ” Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” They were normal witches. That’s why I like playing Bonnie. She is so absolutely normal on the outside.
Upcoming guest star Dawn Olivieri shares her ten favorite things about 2010 with Monsters and Critics and lets slip a very interesting tidbit about her upcoming role on Vampire Diaries. SPOILERS.
And more end of year lists!
- The Return comes in at #14 on TV Guide’s list of 2010′s Best Episodes.

Flare Magazine has revealed its February cover girl and – you guessed it – it’s our very own Ms. Nina Dobrev. In addition to these two new stunning shots, Flare has posted excerpts from their interview.
“I don’t see myself any differently than I did a few years ago,” says 22 year-old Nina Dobrev from the set of our Toronto cover shoot. “Aside from the fact that I’ve moved over nine times and I’m now a bloodsucker,” she adds with a laugh. “It’s been a step by step process and I’ve had the luxury of adjusting to every different phase.”

We’re taking it easy over the holidays (actually, we’re in the middle of designing a new website, so sorry if we’re a bit slow with news over the next few weeks). That said, two tidbits to make you smile. BlackBook has a fantastic and candid chat with Ian Somerhalder about a “Damon seduces Katherine” playlist – his personal pick of eight songs to score the deed. His fantastic taste in music aside (Deerhunter’s “Desire Lines” – swooooon), I wish everyone talked about music like Ian does here.
Belle & Sebastian’s “I Want the World to Stop.” Remember Modern English’s “I Melt with You”? I used to listen to that one with my brother on the way to our preppy Catholic school. This song is kind of like that. It sounds happy, but then Stuart Murdoch starts singing about “winter disorder,” which sounds dismal. To escape that, there’s nothing better than warm sheets and a beautiful woman on your naked body.
READ IAN’S IMPRESSIONS FOR ALL EIGHT SONGS OVER AT BLACKBOOK. But here’s a handy list of links to listen to/purchase each of his picks online:
The Black Keys “Next Girl”
[iTunes US] [iTunes UK] [Amazon US] [Amazon UK]
Deerhunter “Desire Lines”
[iTunes US] [iTunes UK] [Amazon US] [Amazon UK]
Bright Eyes “Lover I Don’t Have To Love”
[iTunes US] [iTunes UK] [Amazon US] [Amazon UK]
Neon Indian “6669 (I Don’t Know If You Know)”
[iTunes US] [iTunes UK] [Amazon US] [Amazon UK]
Gayngs “The Gaudy Side of Town”
[iTunes US] [iTunes UK] [Amazon US] [Amazon UK]
The Verve “History”
[iTunes US] [iTunes UK] [Amazon US] [Amazon UK]
Belle & Sebastian “I Want the World to Stop”
[iTunes US] [iTunes UK] [Amazon US] [Amazon UK]
Cursive “The Recluse”
[iTunes US] [iTunes UK] [Amazon US] [Amazon UK]
Entertainment Weekly name-checks Nina Dobrev as a Breakout Star of 2010 in the December 24/31, 2010 issue, which also happens to feature Ian Somerhalder in its celebrity montage on the front cover. Click the images to see bigger versions in the Gallery.
And while we already blogged photos from Nina Dobrev’s feature in InStyle‘s January 2011 issue, we’ve added a scan of the brief interview that accompanied the spread to the Gallery. We’ve also added proper scans of Nina’s feature in the October/November 2010 issue of Girls’ Life and Steven R. McQueen’s feature in Vanity Fair.

Looks like the January 2011 issue of Vanity Fair (Johnny Depp on the cover) features Vampire Diaries’ Steven R. McQueen in its Spotlight column. Thanks to @_salvatorebros for the heads up! (And check out a screenshot of Steven featured on the Vanity Fair homepage!)
After a stint on the WB drama Everwood and the recent movie Piranha 3D, he found himself up for two shows, Melrose Place and The Vampire Diaries. He chose the latter, he says, because his character, Jeremy, “was as messed up as possible in the head.” As for going through life with the same name and calling as his iconic grandfather, he says, “Luckily, I’ve got a generation gap between me and him. But more than anything it’s a little fuel in the fire.”

The Daily Beast takes a look at the fans and hype surrounding The Vampire Diaries, following Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder at the Hot Topic Cast Tour in Miami and discussing the show’s breakneck plot pacing with Executive Producer Julie Plec.
“We always have the line we draw in the sand — that shifts all the time in the day — of what’s taking something too far, what’s too ridiculous, what’s too outrageous, what’s too witchy-woo-woo, what’s too comic book, what’s too broad or too arch,” said Plec. “We try very hard to keep everything grounded in a strong emotional reality.”
It’s such a great moment when a show is hitting its stride, right? After seven episodes in Season 2 — its eighth is this Thursday at 8 p.m. — “TVD” feels like a show that’s confident in what it is, how funny it should be, how sexy and violent it can appropriately be, and how much plot it can pull off.
There’s nothing worse than seeing a show like that lose its way.
“What’s to say it won’t happen to us?” Plec said. She considered. “We’re so aware of the pitfalls that come with falling in love with your own ideas. And convincing yourself that if you think it’s a good idea that other people are going to like it. We fight a lot internally.”

Cosmopolitan has a behind-the-scenes video with Ian from this photo shoot. He talks about guys and women and sex. Because it’s Cosmo and that’s what you do. Watch below.
American Way Magazine interviews Ian about the usual – Twitter, teen girls, and Damon’s mindset. Thanks to @awolfinarcadia for the heads up and to interviewer Alison Winn Scotch for the scan! (Click on the image to see a bigger version.) READ THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW AT AMERICAN WAY.
YOU’RE A PRETTY BIG HIT WITH THE TEENAGE GIRLS THESE DAYS.
You know what, if I were complaining about that. … The reality of it is, without our fans, we would have no show. It’s amazing and inspiring and fl attering that all this is going down. It actually puts a fi re under our butts as actors because [we] have a lot to live up to. It makes us just want to push harder and make the show better.
