Katerina Graham chatted with TV Guide Magazine on a variety of subjects, including dancing, acting, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and cheesecake. Thanks to Vampire Diaries Sweden for tweeting us the link!

 
The official Vampire Diaries book site is running a contest in which you can win t-shirts and signed books as part of a prize pack. Head on over and read the rules to find out more about the prize packs and the conditions of entry (and yes, it’s only open to fans in the USA – sorry guys!). Thanks to Nilly for the heads up!

We’ve had a steady stream of queries asking where one could buy Elena’s vervain necklace since the trinket was introduced in Friday Night Bites, but it looks like the CW has done fans one better. We first noticed that the official Vampire Diaries shop had replicas of Elena’s, Katherine’s, and Bonnie’s necklaces last week, but sadly they were already sold out. Good news: They’re back in stock and available for purchase (along with a few other goodies)! Click on the image to snag your own piece of TVD.

Elena’s Vervain Pendant

Katherine’s Necklace

Bonnie’s Crystal Necklace

We eagerly await the Salvatore lapis rings and Caroline’s “lesbian friendship necklace.” ;)

You guys have been asking for more variety in Vampire Diaries merchandise; looks like someone was listening. Thanks to @amandatran8 for the heads up on a handful of new Vampire Diaries t-shirts hitting Hot Topic – available now on their website. Color us stunned that one of Damon’s most beloved quotes from the books is featured so prominently – we’re a bit giddy about that one. And, of course, you can now wear your allegiances with a “Team Stefan” or “Team Damon” shirt. Fun times. Click the images to go directly to the shirt on HotTopic.com. (Most of the designs are available in Plus sizes as well!)

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.

SpoilerTV have posted some stills from episode nine, “History Repeating”. Lots of Stefan and Damon (the darts scoreboard amuses us for some reason), along with some of Alaric, Jenna and Jeremy. UPDATE: Added the stills to our gallery.

 
Broadcasting & Cable has posted an article about Kevin Williamson, about liking scary movies, his career (including Scream and Dawson’s Creek) and working on the Vampire Diaries with the CW. There’s some nice praise for Kevin from Peter Roth (president of the WB) and Dawn Ostroff (president of the CW), along with quite a few quotes from the man himself.

According to Williamson, Vampire Diaries marks the first project since Dawson’s where he has felt that sort of magic. “This show is kind of blessed,” he says.

 
While we don’t yet have a cover for the TV series tie-in of The Fury, we do have a date. HarperTeen have it listed with an expected publication date of April 27, 2010, and you can pre-order it there or on Amazon.com. Still nothing listed for Dark Reunion, but we’ll keep an eye out.

On a related note, the WB have a new Vampire Diaries t-shirt up for sale for $19.95.

 
Finally, we’ve seen a lot of Halloween pumpkin carving going on using images from both True Blood and Twilight. It got us wondering if any of you talented people out there were planning on carving some pumpkins (or making other Halloween decorations, for that matter) with a Vampire Diaries theme? If you are, we’d love it if you’d send us pics of your projects, and if we get enough to make it worthwhile we’d like to feature them in a blog post on Halloween. Get gutting those pumpkins, people. ;)

Thanks to Connie for the heads up and Futon Critic for the press release: The CW and CBS have launched two new iPhone and iTouch apps, one of which will allow users to directly purchase and download full-length episodes of The Vampire Diaries and other CW shows.

The “CWTV” application gives CW fans direct access to video clips of all CW programming, including previews, recaps, interviews with the cast, and behind-the-scenes footage of popular CW shows. Fans can also link out to iTunes to purchase full length episodes of Gossip Girl, 90210, Melrose Place, The Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill, America’s Next Top Model, Supernatural, and Smallville.

You can read the full release over on Futon Critic, including a list of the app’s features. The app is FREE and you can download it straight from the iTunes store (only available to users in the U.S.)

Kayla Ewell has a brief interview in Soap Opera Digest about her time on The Bold & The Beautiful and her current gig on The Vampire Diaries:

“Kevin Williamson (DAWSON’S CREEK, Scream) is such a brilliant writer; a lot happens in each episode,” shares Ewell. “People die, there will be new vampires, relationships start to form, others begin to fall apart. There will be so many scary moments and so many heartfelt moments every week. The writers have done a great job balancing the two.”

For those of you nostalgic about the ’90s Vampire Diaries computer game, industry website Playthings.com reports that Pressman Toy is developing a board game based on the Vampire Diaries TV series (2010 release).
