Here’s Australian GO! Channel’s version of the sexy promo everyone was talking about a couple of weeks ago. A couple of extended shots, so definitely different than what we’ve seen. The Vampire Diaries Season 2 will premiere on GO! Monday, September 13th at 8:30PM.

Again, many thanks to Vampire Diaries Web for the newest set of episode stills released by the CW. We get another look at Mason Lockwood, and a peek into some interesting turn of events coming up! Excited much?

The CW has release a really cool promo acknowledging Damon Salvatore’s Sexy Beast win. Check it!

TV Guide’s Keck’s Exclusives is reporting that Maiara Walsh will be joining the cast of The Vampire Diaries. She will be playing Sarah, sounds like another love interest for Jeremy.

Maiara Walsh, who played Gaby’s and Carlos’ bratty, over-sexed niece Ana on last season’s Desperate Housewives, is headed to Mystic Falls to cause even more trouble. In Vampire Diaries’ Oct. 7 episode, the 22-year-old actress will appear as Sarah, a high schooler who likes to party. Woo-hoo! Crack open the coffins and pour me some blood!

Vampire Diaries executive producer Kevin Williamson tells me, “Sarah is a girl who sets her eyes on Jeremy and encourages him to party it up at the Lockwood house.” (And by Lockwood house, we’re now talking Werewolf Central.)

Since Maiara now has a good chance of being killed off by both vampires and werewolves, I wish her the best of luck in Mystic Falls.

Well, well, well. Leave it to Kristin Dos Santos to drop a bombshell like this one. Read on if you want to…but you have been warned. Major spoiler ahead…click “Show” to view.

Today we found out the Nina Dobrev will be at the Emmy Awards and she will be performing in the opening number with the Glee cast! I’m so excited to see coverage of this. We will continue to update this post with the latest coverage. But first here are some pics of Nina arriving on the red carpet! Enjoy! Thanks to NDN and Wire Image. View more at NDN’s album.

UPDATE: We’ve now included pics and a video courtesy of Nina Dobrev Network of Nina performing the opening number.

E!Online caught up with Courtney Ford at Showtime’s Emmy Nominee reception last night, and she had quite a bit to tell about her new role on The Vampire Diaries!

“I play Vanessa Monroe, a Duke University grad student who’s helping Alaric (Matt Davis), Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) with Isobel’s research. It’s a really nice arc.”

Isobel, Elena’s birth mom and Alaric’s wife, was so obsessed with vampires that she persuaded Damon to turn her into one. Is Vanessa going to ask the same favor of the sexy Salvatore brother?

Not a chance, Courtney dished. “Vanessa has a conflict, because she studies all this wonderful mythology and folklore, but half of her is a complete skeptic. Half of her is a believer, and half of her is a skeptic, and she goes back and forth. It’s a big conflict for her.”

When we asked Courtney whether Vanessa would see any action in the romance department, her reaction revealed that she’s obviously hooking up with someone…but Courtney’s lips are sealed: “I want to tell you so much, but I can’t!” she said, laughing. We’re starting to believe show runner Kevin Williamson really does put the fear of death in his cast members.

Check out this episode still from Vampire Diaries Episode 2.03 “Bad Moon Rising”. There is already some chatter on the web and twitter about who this is in the picture with Damon. It is suppose to be Elena, but people don’t think it looks like Nina Dobrev. Well, I can tell you it IS Elena, because all photos from the CW are encrypted with a description of the photo. And the description for this one is below the pic. Thanks to @Kryptonsite for the heads up on twitter and Nina Dobrev Network for the posting the still.
