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
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. ;)

Though he missed the Vampire Diaries panel at the TCA press tour earlier this week, Ian Somerhalder made an appearance at a Warner Bros. cocktail reception in southern California last night. We’ve been a bit starved for insight into what his version of Damon Salvatore will bring to the creepy town party and this interview does not disappoint. He talked. In fact, he drops so much good info that we don’t even know where to begin. It’s like Christmas.
Ian talks about Damon as a character and his relationships with Stefan and Elena, vampire mythology, the show’s stunt work, how the story is coming in hard and fast – and did you know that he auditioned for the role of Jason Stackhouse in True Blood?
Q: Did you do a backstory for your character? Did they tell you a lot about him?
Ian: Oh, yeah. And, it’s intense. Even people who are bad, it all stems from a place. It’s coming from a place. When we’re good to people, it’s coming from a good place. When we’re bad to people, it’s coming from a bad place. But, we all have a reason for what we’re doing, and Damon’s is pretty justified. He feels as though he was hurt very badly in the past, and wronged very deeply, so he’s ticked off and he’s ready for some vengeance. It’s going to be interesting. He has reasons for everything he does, so there will be shifts. The whole idea is that Damon has lost all humanity, but we will see different sides of him, as the season starts to play out.
Just go read the entire interview already.

Huge thanks to Keiran over at Vampire Diaries Spain for giving us the heads-up on these pictures that appeared on the official Vampire Diaries Facebook. These are from the photo shoot used in the ‘Love Sucks’ promotional campaign for the Vampire Diaries TV series. They’re all pretty sexy images, though we find the head shots to be particularly striking. It also hasn’t escaped our notice that the close-ups make a nice complement to the half-face theme being used in various recent editions of the Vampire Diaries books. Whether or not that was intentional, we don’t know. But it’s still pretty cool.
