We’ve got a lot to catch up on, so let’s get started, shall we? First up, a new Vampire Diaries mini-teaser promo spliced from the Next Chapter promo.

Thanks to Kimberlee for the heads up on this pre-Christmas tidbit from Television Without Pity – Year in Review 2009: TV’s Most Valuable Performers. The list includes such fan favorites Misha Collins (Castiel) from Supernatural, Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) from Glee, John Lithgow (Arthur Mitchell) from Dexter, and a little someone named Ian Somerhalder.

The Vampire Diaries rates an A- in TV Guide’s New TV Report Card:

The Vampire Diaries (The CW)
The Good: Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) are a hot couple. Stefan’s acerbic brother, Damon (Lost‘s Ian Somerhalder), is refreshing in the face of all this lurve.
The Bad: There have been a lot of revelations already. What’s left?
Grade: A-

Candice Accola will chat with Artists On Demand (via Blog Talk Radio) on Monday, January 18th at 7pm ET/4pm PT:

Candice Accola, from the hit vampire TV Show “Vampire Diaries” joins us to talk about her role on the show, her history in the business, and a few of her upcoming movies, “Kingshighway” and “The Truth About Angels”.

And thanks to everyone who sent us the link to this Female First interview with Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley during their recent promo trip to London. They talk about the usual – working in Atlanta, the success of the show, and their thoughts on Stefan and Elena.

FemaleFirst: So, Paul, do you find it hard to play a vampire as they’re such conflicted characters?

Paul: It’s certainly challenging to make any character complex and interesting but when I read the script, I sort of fell into Stefan and related to him and I have no idea why. I could sit here and psychologically analyse myself, and I probably have and come with reasons why I relate to him but in an abridged version I think there are a lot of similarities between Stefan and myself. So, there’s difficulty in that, but what we do is difficult and that’s why I do it, I need challenge in what I’m doing.

FF: Nina, you’ve acted in both this and a television film called Never Cry Werewolf, so do you like playing supernatural parts?

Nina: I love the show and I love that it has all these supernatural abilities and the vampires and the witches and the effects and it’s really cool and it’s really fun to do and I do like it. Never Cry Werewolf was a film that I did years ago for the Sci-Fi network and it was a lot of fun too, it’s all about enjoying what you do at the time you’re doing it. I don’t want to just play that [fantasy characters] though.
