The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has an interview with Paul – he talks about the difficulty in casting Stefan, the particular rules of Vampire Diaries’ vampires, and those night shoots.
As for the matter of vampires in daylight, “It makes life so much easier for us as actors, because it’s not all night shoots all the time,” Wesley says. “I know that L.J. Smith, the author of the books, didn’t think of that for my benefit, but I’m still grateful.”
In others news: Do you have your tickets for PaleyFest’s CW Fall Premiere Party on Monday, September 14th? Vampire Diaries executive producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson are now officially confirmed to appear AND it has just been announced that “Night of the Comet” (aka the second episode of Vampire Diaries) will also screen at the Los Angeles shindig. The party/panel is open to the public and tickets are free, though you do need to reserve them in advance. We look forward to hearing your reports!
And for those of you in the Tampa Bay area, Vampire Diaries and Florida Blood Services have teamed up: Anyone donating blood through Thursday can get a voucher for two free tickets to a Vampire Diaries premiere screening at the Ritz Theater in Ybor City, sponsored by FBS and CW44. Check out the Tampa Tribune for more info. Those of us outside of the USA will chunter quietly with envy at all the good stuff you guys get in exchange for a few pints of blood. ;)

This one slipped by us – a green room interview with Paul Wesley when he stopped by the PIX studios in New York City last week. He talks some Vampire Diaries, but also fields fun questions about his favorite horror movie, what he loves about New York, and reveals who he’d like to bite (totally with him on that one – I have a crush on her).

We’ve been seeing this syndicated Zap2It article by John Crook pop up in various (abbreviated) forms the past 24 hours – I do believe it’s what a lot of you have been telling us about seeing in your city paper’s weekend sections – but this version seems to be the longest we’ve seen online. (All this news + a wicked head cold = I could not be very observant. Sorry.) In any case, maximum quote-age from Paul, Nina, Ian, and Kevin abounds (and bonus points for calling Ian’s eyebrows “Machiavellian”) :
For his part, Williamson says Vampire Diaries has become a real passion project for him. “Paul, Ian and Nina are in that first-season euphoria right now that is so contagious,” he says, laughing. “But it’s really a blast. I’m having a lot of fun. I haven’t been this excited about something in a really long time. Now we just have to wait and see if people respond to it. But it feels like we have something really special here.”

Some odds and ends to gather ’round. First up, thanks to Marissa for letting us know that The Vampire Diaries is scheduled to begin airing on the Go! Channel in Australia this October. Still no exact start date, but better than the general “end of 2009″ we’d been hearing. As soon as we have a date, we’ll let you know.
Many thanks to Caroline for these scans of Paul and Ian talking Stefan and Damon in the new issue of US Weekly (you guys can stop asking us about whether Paul is single now, thaaaaank you) and Ian in the Fall Preview 2009 issue of TV Guide.
And finally, CW Source has posted their Comic Con interview with Nina. She talks about the usual topics here, but also provides a teaser for the second episode, “Night of the Comet.”

We’ve got some episode stills from episode three (production code #102) of the Vampire Diaries TV series, ‘Friday Night Bites’. As the title implies, it’s a very football-focused episode, with a lot of Stefan in a football shirt (and both Vee and I agree that our favourite number is ’7′, so Stefan being ’17′ kind of tickles us). We’ll be adding our spoilery observations to the Friday Night Bites spoiler zone later on.

TV Guide Magazine has posted some images from their Fall Preview issue (which should be on the stands now) in their gallery, including one of Nina, Paul and Ian by photographer Kurt Iswarienko.
You’ll have to excuse us if we’re incoherent for the next hour or so. Waistcoats! ;)
UPDATE: And now we have a video which features some (brief) snippets with Paul and Nina and behind-the-scenes footage of the photo shoot. You can see the full Fall preview video with all the featured shows here.

Many thanks to Giochan for sending us this scan of NYLON Magazine‘s article with Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley. It’s a light-hearted and amusing article, mostly with quotes from Nina, and mostly on the subject of whether or not Paul might actually be a vampire…
“I am still unsure about whether Paul is or isn’t a vampire [Nina] says, shooting him a wary glance in a Brooklyn photo studio. “Obviously, there’s the teeth…”
And, because we’ve not had much to post about Steven R. McQueen while he’s been working on the Vampire Diaries, we’re posting this behind-the-scenes video of a photoshoot for Teen Vogue which features Steven (among others). We figure it counts as he does say the words ‘Vampire Diaries’. ;)

Paul Wesley made an appearance on NY PIX Morning News today to talk about his role as Stefan Salvatore in the Vampire Diaries. He talks about the current fascination with vampires, being from Jersey, the resemblance to Robert Pattinson (we still don’t see it, we’ll take Paul over Robert any day), Stefan and Damon’s respective vampire natures and their relationship.
Update: WPIX have added a whole bunch of pictures of Paul from the interview to their Facebook page.
While there’s no new information in the blog post, check it out for a couple of nice pics, including one of Paul’s own awesome natural fangs.
As an aside that will amuse Vampire Diaries fans (especially those of you who have had the um… fortune to play the PC game from the 90s), NY PIX Morning News features health articles in which their medical consultant is… Dr. Steve Salvatore.

Quick reminder that Paul Wesley will be on the NY PIX Morning News (on NYC CW affiliate Channel 11) tomorrow (Monday) morning at 7:45 a.m. ET. Watch their blog for photos/video or, if you’re in NYC, watch on TV.
Also, thanks to nysiren for the heads up that a photo of Paul and Nina is featured in the September issue of NYLON, with Anna Paquin on the cover. It’s their TV issue.
As for the CW Fall 2009 Preview Special, it featured the TVD extended preview, which was nice to see on a television versus the laptop. If you stuck around to watch the CW’s Daytime EMMY Red Carpet special, you caught a video message from Ian Somerhalder within the first 20 minutes. He introduced a clip from The Vampire Diaries pilot (Stefan and Damon in Stefan’s room), with Zach Roerig standing behind him. Hopefully that’ll pop up online at some point.
We have a feeling the next 10 days are going to be pretty non-stop with the promo/publicity. Should be fun.
