Vampire Diaries Web has lots more photos from the CW Premiere Party red carpet, so head over there to check ‘em out. Daniel Gillies Online also has some terrific photos. A selection of shots from the party itself are below. Click the images to see full-sized versions in the Gallery. (Sorry, if you tried to view this when we posted it earlier; our Gallery plug-in is on the fritz and we still haven’t figured it out. Hopefully we can fix it soon!)

If you’d like to read more about the event you can also find coverage here at the Hollywood Reporter.

Also added a few more shots of Michael Trevino on the ALMA Awards red carpet to the Gallery.

Tonight was the CW Premiere Party in Los Angeles and Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Joseph Morgan, Kat Graham, Zach Roerig, Candice Accola, Steven R. McQueen, Matt Davis, Michael Trevino, Nina Dobrev, and Daniel Gillies (!) were in attendance, along with Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson. Photos seem to be slow in coming but we’ve got a few goodies to share for the time being. First up, thanks to Candice Accola Web for the heads up on KTLA’s video interview with members of the Vampire Diaries cast. By the way, The Vampire Diaries premieres Thursday, September 15th, KTLA. ;)

 

The wonderful Tiffany Vogt filled the picture void tonight via her Twitter: @TVWatchtower. Check out party and red carpet photos of just about everyone in the cast over at her MobyPicture account.

And thanks so much to @JarettSays for permission to repost this Twitter snapshot of the new Vampire Diaries poster on display on the party:

Have you been worried about how Alaric will be involved in the season three storylines? Wonder no more! Carina MacKenzie at Zap2it has all the scoop, including the role Alaric will play in the Gilbert family, whether he’ll be involved in the hunt for Stefan, and what’s going on with John’s ring. And, of course, a bromance update:

“Speaking of unexpected alliances, let’s talk about what you really care about: Damon and Alaric. Their reluctant bromance is going to take a few major hits this season… literally. Sources tell us that these two will come to blows. We’re hoping shirtlessness and jello is involved. (Objectification? Us? Never.)”

For the record, we would not object to shirtlessness and jello either.
