MTV’s Hollywood Crush has posted more from their Malese Jow interview. In addition to touching on her Team Anna project (which has already garnered over 200 submissions), Malese delves into the dynamics of her Vampire Diaries character and what makes her so appealing to fans.
It’s easy to understand why so many people are rooting for Anna, especially when you consider that she’s one of the most developed characters on “The Vampire Diaries.” “I love Anna because she’s so multifaceted,” Malese said. “She’s gone through the tragedy of having her mother taken away and wanting her mother back, to falling in love, to being this menacing person to get her mother. Now that she has her mother back, she can be a kid again. It’s so cool to get to see the teenager side of her because she sheltered that for so long. Now you get to really, really, really see Anna how she is in the next few episodes.”

Anna fans should head on over to Hollywood Crush to read an interview with Malese Jow. Malese talks about auditioning for Anna, discovering her character was a vampire, the vampire effects, and working with Ian Somerhalder:
Malese recalled to Hollywood Crush that when she auditioned for the part, all she had to go on was a short description that said Anna was supposed to be a shy and geeky girl. “There was really nothing in there that made me think that she was going to be a vampire,” Malese said. “Once I got to the producer session, they said, ‘Can you read it a little more menacing?’ and I was like ‘Huh, ok.’ I didn’t know that she was going to be a vampire until the day I got on set they were like, ‘You’re going to be fitted for contacts.’”
There’s an interview with Candice Accola up on Kidult in which she talks about her early career, her parents and, of course, the Vampire Diaries:
Describe the May 13 VD finale in three words.
Parade, passion and fear!Have you shot the finale yet?
This episode is taking as many days to shoot as the pilot! This isn’t your average run of the mill standard work week. The finale takes things to a whole new level.
Finally, TVGuide.com‘s Robyn Ross will be interviewing Matt Davis later on this week, and wants to know what you guys would like to ask him. So, if you have questions in mind for Matt, drop them in the comments here for Robyn to see.

Yesterday we saw the cover, and now today we have scans of the TV Guide Magazine interview in that same issue, thanks to the lovely Denise.
We particularly like this quote from the article:
It’s Team Damon versus Team Stefan! Whom do you think fans want Elena to be with?
Wesley: I’m president of the Team Damon fan club. I have a Facebook page as 13-year-old Ashley, who subtly manipulates people into hating Damon.
Somerhalder: [Laughter] So that’s why you yell at me to go away when I knock on your door!
You can also read the main interview over on TV Guide Magazine if scans aren’t your thing.
Katerina Graham had a chat with the Associated Press, and you can see what she has to say about the show and Damon in the video. There’s also a teeny extra road trip snippet at the end.

MTV’s Hollywood Crush has an ever-so-rare chat with Steven R. McQueen about what’s in store for Jeremy on upcoming episodes of The Vampire Diaries. He has wonderful things to say about Malese Jow, who will be guest starring as Anna (J’s potential love interest?), calling her “very talented and very sweet.”
And we know from reading your comments in the blog and posts in the forum that what Damon did to Jeremy is a huge, HUGE point of interest, and you’ll be happy to know Steven plays a bit coy on that front (spoilery!):
It was way back in 2009, but you may recall that earlier in the season, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) pulled his special vampire brainwash-y powers out to erase Jeremy’s memory of his girlfriend Vicki’s death. The catch is, it’s not exactly clear what Damon did. “That’s something that’s going to unfold itself a little later in the series,” Steven said. “[Damon] did erase my pain and my grief and such, but I’m not sure what I can reveal of just how much he shut out of my memory — and if he put anything in there.” (Dun Dun Dun… )
And @LilMissX is being very, very good to Vampire Diaries fans in anticipation of the show’s return this Thursday. Check out our first look at Mia Kirshner as Isobel, Alaric’s wife, in this still (we know Isobel is set to debut in Bloodlines, but we’re not 100% positive that’s what the still is from) with Matt Davis (Alaric):

UPDATE: Thanks to KryptonSite, we now know the Alaric/Isobel still is from an upcoming episode called A Few Good Men.
According to this ITV2 press release, it looks like UKers can look forward to a Tuesday, February 2nd debut for The Vampire Diaries. And it gets better: The channel will be kicking off with a 9-11 p.m. double header of the pilot and Night of the Comet. Smart move, we say.
Speaking of air dates: The Vampire Diaries kicks off in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria tomorrow night! Though I suppose it’s already January 20th in your neck of the woods, so… Enjoy the show!
With all of the TVD cast appearances in magazines lately, we thought you might want to check out Katerina Graham pontificating on the particulars of her beauty bag in this Seventeen video, and Nina Dobrev Fan has nice, watermark-free scans from Nina’s very pink fashion spread in SELF.

Thanks to Vampire Diaries Show, a few new images from episode 10, The Turning Point. Click to see larger versions in the Media Gallery (including larger, unwatermarked versions of the IGN exclusive stills released yesterday).

TV Guide Magazine’s William Keck confirms what we speculated yesterday: Malese Jow is Anna, Jeremy’s potential new love interest, and today was her first day filming.
“She comes on as Jeremy’s smart new friend, Anna,” series creator Kevin Williamson tells me. Hmm…just a ‘friend’? … “We’ll see how it goes,” teases Williamson. “Jeremy certainly turns her head. She gets a crush. It starts in one place and maybe ends someplace else.”
A few Kat Graham interviews for you: A “sit down” with Just Jared and talking “Stefan or Damon?” over at Hollywood Crush:
Though Kat wouldn’t rule Damon out completely for Bonnie, she said. “After doing a lot of backstory for the script and delving deeper into every single relationship that Bonnie has, I’d say that I wouldn’t completely cut off Damon. At first I was like ‘Oh, no way, that’ll never happen.’ Then the more research I do and the more pain I find behind Ian Somerhalder’s character as a reason that he is the way he is, the more compassion I feel for him. I think that Bonnie is no less than compassionate no matter what happens to her and I’m kind of with the fans where it could go either way.”
And SciFi Wire gives 7 Ways Vampire Diaries Changes Everything Tonight:
3. Damon and Stefan have to work together. For the first time, the brothers have to work together to solve the problem that Damon created. Damon even saved Stefan’s life after he took a wood bullet and was almost staked by one of the townsfolk council people. Seeing Damon rip the bullet out of Stefan’s chest and tell him that no one else was going to kill him told us volumes about their relationship. Almost as much as learning that the mysterious Katherine turned them both into vampires in the 1800s. There’s more to that story, and we can’t wait to see more.
That above scene may be my favorite in the show so far. No lie.

We did say we had quite a few bits and bobs to post. First up, we have video of Katerina Graham’s appearance on the Mo’Nique Show last night. In her first ever chat show appearance she talks about how she started out with singing and background dancing, about Bonnie Bennett, and a message for people to work hard and believe in themselves to achieve their potential.
Malese Jow (you may recognise her from Nickelodeon shows) teased her Twitter followers a while back with a clue to her next project. She’s since tweeted to say that she’s been watching the Vampire Diaries and can’t wait to start filming, and has recently arrived in Atlanta. We don’t actually know what role she’s playing, but there was a casting call posted a while back for a character named ‘Anna’, and Malese certainly seems to fit the bill for the role.
IGN posted up a couple of stills from episode 10, “The Turning Point”, featuring Stefan and Damon. We note police activity in the background there. Has Damon been naughty again?

Many thanks to Rose for directing us to this. Book three of the Vampire Diaries is due out in Portugal this month, and you can see the cover for it right here.

Finally, quite a few people have expressed interest in purchasing Vampire Diaries posters. Well, now you can, as the WB store has three for you to choose from. Thanks to Vampire Diaries Guide for the heads up.
