The Wrap counts Vampire Diaries as one of Fall’s 6 Buzziest Shows (along with Glee, The Good Wife, Modern Family, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Parks & Recreation), crediting the show’s success to the current vampire trend, “breakout star” Ian Somerhalder, and a still-growing audience:
The CW’s foresight has been rewarded with the network’s biggest new hit since “Gossip Girl.” Viewers are responding to the show’s juicy storylines, its super-hot cast and the always appreciated sense of humor that showrunner Kevin Williamson (“Scream”) brings to the table.

E!’s Watch with Kristin has confirmed Kelly Hu’s casting (which we tweeted then blogged on Sunday night – thanks to @thetelevixen/Fancast for actually giving us credit on that one). As we suspected, she is indeed playing Pearl, but (as usual) don’t place too much faith in those casting sides:
Kelly will be appearing in flashbacks as an apothecary named Pearl, but contrary to other reports, she doesn’t go door to door and accidentally try to sell vervain to Katherine (Nina Dobrev). We’ll first see her on Jan. 28.
Tweeted this last night, so in case you missed it: E’s Spoiler Chat talked with Jasmine Guy about upcoming episodes:
We just chatted up Jasmine Guy, and she tells us she’s “having a ball” playing Bonnie’s grandmother and will be back sooner or later. She also hinted at a bigger picture storyline arc for the series: “There’s this whole inner life between the witches and the vampires where there’s this pact between the two forces that they won’t expose each other. So I’m excited to explore that.” She also calls the show’s producers “elusive” and that she learns what she’s going to do when she gets on set.
UPDATE: TV Guide’s Mega Buzz has quite the tidbit (highlight to read – it’s definitely spoilery):
What if I were to tell you that Elena will soon find herself in the romantic company of a Salvatore brother not named Stefan? Said Salvatore introduces her to a friend who allowed himself to be “turned” by his vampire lover, which gets the hamster wheels in Elena’s pretty, pretty head spinning.
And if you missed Zach Roerig’s interview with The VRO tonight, never fear: the entire thing is up for your listening pleasure.

The way im interpreting that spoiler is that it makes Elena wonder what it would be like to be turned, to be with Stefan forever. Jen(Quote)
