Over the past couple of weeks, the CW has been posting cast interviews as a part of their “The Truth Behind” Series. They now have up 4 videos, The Truth Behind Elena, Stefan, Damon and now Bonnie. You can watch the videos over at the CW web site, and the international fans can view the YouTube versions here courtesy of YouTuber, trojanas. Not that great of quality, but better than nothing. And we will post more as they are made available!

The Truth Behind Elena:

Ausiello caught up with Katerina Graham at the Teen Choice Awards, and she offered some more information about just how powerful Bonnie will become this season.

Question: I just bought the first season of Vampire Diaries and watched every episode back-to-back. Can you help out a new (sleep-deprived) fan with any Season 2 spoilers that may have popped up since Comic-Con? —Brandon

Ausiello: At Sunday’s Teen Choice Awards, Katerina Graham told us that Bonnie will become “even less tolerant” of the vampires this season. “She is going to become quite the power player among the supernatural [set]. I think she is going to be noticed by some of the big baddies this season. She is gaining powers rapidly this season so I encourage all the villains and the bad boyfriends to stay clear of the Bennett witch!”

Here are some interviews with Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev and Katerina Graham at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards via KTLA. Lots of scoop about their characters. These are so great, Kat gives a big shout out to the fans! Check them out!

Check out these adorable shots of Kat Graham at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. I know I already made a post about it, but I felt Kat looked so cute, she deserved a  post of her own. Doesn’t she look just precious in this dress and boots? And of course, her makeup is perfection as always. Again, check out Vampire Diaries Source for even more photos!

Last night Kat Graham tweeted another really cool contest she has going on! She wants to see your best dance moves and choreography to her brand new song “Sassy”. Will you be entering Kat’s #SassyDanceMoves contest? Check it out!

Starry Constellation Magazine is known for their awesome celebrity interviews, and this Katerina Graham interview does not disappoint. Check out what Kat spills about her new song “Sassy”, new movie Honey 2 and what to expect from Bonnie in season 2 of The Vampire Diaries!

Q.  We heard you just finished filming the lead in the movie Honey 2, what’s new with the storyline?

A.  I’ve wanted to do a dance film for so long because I’m a dancer and it was like, “Wow, when am I going to get my chance?”  I auditioned for all of the other dance movies and no one picked me and I was devastated.  I finally got one and I am the lead in it which is insane because I didn’t think that would come any time soon.  The director Bille Woodruff really took a chance on me and he’s an incredible director and we shot it in LA with six or seven weeks of just nonstop dancing.  It’s cool, it’s this story about this girl Maria who gets out of juvy, she got caught up in the wrong crowd, and when she gets out she has to prove herself through dance.  She has to change her life for her, not for anyone else, and she discovers who she really is through dance.  It’s really awesome, it’s a great story and it’s a lot edgier and a lot more dancing than the first Honey.  There are crazy dance battles, we’re definitely coming for blood with this one.

Q.  How did you hear about the role, through auditioning or did someone seek you out?

A.  You know, kind of both.  One of my first dance teachers, he got me in with my dance agency and that really helped me as dancer, I saw him out in LA and he said I should audition for Honey.  I had just literally gotten back from Atlanta shooting the season finale, I think I had been in LA two days.  I was like what chance do I have, maybe I will audition for it.  A couple of days later I went in and auditioned and there were like six other girls there to audition for it.  I went to the call backs and then I got it.  It was very surreal, it all happened fast, we started rehearsals like that Monday.  We had rehearsals and it turned out so amazing, I am so happy with it.

Q.  How emotionally draining did you find the role to be?

A.  It was really hard because like I said I had never been a lead in anything this big before.  I had been the lead in an independent thing before but nothing with this kind of budget or anything like that.  There was a lot of pressure on me that I had never felt before but everyone was really sweet and helped me through it.  I would go two days without sleep, literally no sleep because I would still be doing stuff for my music on the weekend and photo shoots in LA to promote the second season of “Vampire Diaries.”  There was just a lot of stuff going on and some days it really took a toll on me.  I would be lying to you to tell you that it wasn’t an exhausting process.  It was really rewarding in the end because we came out with the best possible product we could.  I love that this character has had to fight through so much and in the end she wins in her own way.  I felt that same way with myself, even during the process.  Some people think, “she’s on a TV show and she’s in a movie,” but no matter how many great things you never know what someone is going through in their lives.  I use my acting and my music as a way of putting that out there because no one’s life is perfect.

Q.  With shooting season two of “Vampire Diaries,” what can you tease us about what’s going to happen with Bonnie?

A.  I can’t talk about the other characters because I don’t want to piss anyone off but Bonnie is definitely pretty fearless in the new one.  If there was a promise to anyone in the last episode, she keeps it.  Let’s just say that.  She is not one to F with right now, if I didn’t know her, I’d steer clear.

Popwrap caught up with Kat Graham today. Literally, they just interviewed her hours ago, and we thank them for getting this interview up so fast! She mostly talks about her new single, “Sassy” and her upcoming debut album, but she also talks about how she just got the new script for the first episode of The Vampire Diaries, and what we can expect from Bonnie.

PW: You caused a little Twitter-storm when you wrote “Just got the new script for Vampire Diaries!!”
Kat: Oh yea! I love the fans, I love that it’s been months since it went off the air and they’re still chomping at the bit for the second season, which by the way is insane.

PW: Does the first episode pick up right where we left off with Elena walking into the kitchen?
Kat: Yep [laughs], it’s pretty insane. And I will say that Bonnie is really, really tough in the first episode back. She is not playing around. Bonnie will eff you up if you mess with her! She is also going to have to deal with Katherine. And that’s a whole new beast. Literally.

PW: In the finale she made a very ominous threat to Stefan — will season two see her sticking to that?
Kat: Yea. She really means that – she’s not going to help them any more.

PW: And I would imagine her powers will only continue to grow?
Kat: Oh yea, she’s going to become even stronger. But it’s important she stay vulnerable too. You don’t want someone to raise hell with no motivation behind it. You can never forget the loss of a loved one and I don’t think she’ll ever get over losing her grams. That was her rock to this world. She wouldn’t do anything simply out of a hate for vampires. I don’t think she could ever justify that.

Kat Graham – “Sassy”

A couple of weeks ago Kat Graham announced on her Twitter that she had been cast in the lead role of the movie sequel Honey 2. We’ve enjoyed her tweets from set, hopefully she’ll post some pics soon! Check out this article from Black Voices and the full description below. And take notice of the last name of her character…

The legacy of legendary dancer and choreographer Honey Daniels lives on in spirited 17-year-old Maria Bennett (Graham). After a brush with the law, Maria has returned to her gritty Bronx roots to rebuild her life with nothing but a talent for street dance and a burning ambition to prove herself. She finds refuge in the place that made her feel most alive as kid: the rec center where Honey’s exuberant classes ignited her passion for dance.

Keeping on the straight and narrow means living with her mom, Connie, and holding down a job just to make ends meet. But a rare night out at a local dance club gives her an opportunity to let loose with a joy and energy she had almost forgotten. Maria’s killer moves catch the eye of Brandon, a rec center volunteer who invites her to help him transform a group of gifted but undisciplined dancers called the HDs.

Maria’s skills also attract the attention of her old boyfriend, Luis, the charismatic leader of the award-winning 718 dance crew. Luis hopes to lure Maria back into the street world she is trying to escape, but seeing a chance to create a new and meaningful life, Maria pours her heart and soul into dance and begins training the HDs to compete on a TV dance competition. That means going up against the 718s and Luis. Like Honey before her, Maria rediscovers the thrill of dancing as she finds out who she truly is and where she belongs.

The film will be released on DVD through Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
