Spotted: Two Vampire Diaries stars dressed to the nines at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival!

Mystic Falls High is out for the bloody summer and Paul Wesley and Kat Graham are making the most of their time off by indulging in new cultures and art. The two costars recently flew out to Cannes, Frances where they slipped into their finest black tie attire and attended several exciting screenings. Paul dropped by the ‘Behind The Candelabra’ and “Cleopatra” premieres whereas Kat was all about Only God Forgives.

And, as usual, our beloved fang stars did not disappoint in terms of style. Paul looked dashing in a freshly pressed tux and Kat exuded a youthful radiance in an orange high-neck gown from Antonio Berardi’s Spring 2012 collection. (We especially love how she channeled old Hollywood glamor with her smooth blonde waves!) The singer and actress also stunned in two dazzling ensembles when she attended an Armani party on Wednesday (May 22) and a photocall at de Grisogono’s 20th anniversary cocktail event, at the Eden Roc hotel in Antibes on Tuesday (May 21).

Check out photos of Paul and Kat making the TVD family proud at the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival. Then, drop us a comment telling us which of Kat’s three outfits you love most!

The post Paul Wesley & Kat Graham Get Fancy for the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival appeared first on The Vampire Diaries.

Spoiler Alert! While poor Stefan Salvatore is dessicating at the bottom of an ocean, the actor who plays him is embracing life on land. You see, Paul Wesley knows that once summer is over,  back into that dark, dank box he goes and so the Vampire Diaries star seems to be adopting a “carpe diem” mantra. Not only has he kept busy regaling audiences at European fan conventions, but the handsome actor has also been spotted vacationing in France with his gorgeous wife Torrey DeVitto and, most recently, keeping cool with pints of beer at the Stella Artois Suite during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival held at Radisson Blu on Wednesday (May 22) in Cannes, France.

Check out photos of Paul (posing alongside Carly Steel) enjoying the perks of being amazing and talented — ice cold beverages. Then, drop us a comment telling us what sort of day you’d love to treat Stefan too the instant he was rescued in TVD Season 5!

The post Paul Wesley: Stella Artois Suite Beer Connosseiur appeared first on The Vampire Diaries.

Well, we finally caught up with the mesmerizing Mr. Davis and discovered that Joseph was not exaggerating at all. Charles is not only a gifted entertainer but he’s also a gracious and well-spoken one. And his smile is so bright and genuine in person, that one flash of it can drive Dementors away quicker than a Patronus charm!

Get better acquainted with the actor through our exclusive interview with him at the CW’s 2013 upfront presentation in NYC!

Alloy Entertainment: What was your initial reaction to The Originals making it onto the CW’s Fall 2013 line-up?
Charles Michael Davis: I was pretty confident from the beginning that The Originals was going to be picked up because I watch The Vampire Diaries and think it’s just such an amazing show — but of course you can’t celebrate until you receive confirmation. But we were picked up to series the day right after the [backdoor] pilot aired so I was feeling great. To film a pilot and have it air and then you get a response so soon? I was overjoyed. I really was.

Alloy Entertainment: Did you do anything special to celebrate? We saw you and Leah Pipes tweeted about making a smoothie run.
Charles Michael Davis: Yes! That did happen actually. We got a chocolate peanut butter smoothie. Non-dairy. It was delicious. All my dreams came true. And here I am right now! (Laughs)

Alloy Entertainment: Will we get glimpses into Marcel’s past at all?
Charles Michael Davis: You’ll definitely learn more about how he got to this point in his life. He was a street rat, kind of came from nothing, and he’s crafty. And so I think we’re going to discover firsthand what that experience was like for Marcel — of growing up on the streets of New Orleans and making that turn; of becoming confident and transitioning from an Aladdin life into a leadership role.

Alloy Entertainment: What’s your secret confidence trick when slipping into character as Marcel?
Charles Michael Davis: I watch a lot of Ray Lewis videos. That swagger that he comes out with is so intense and incredible and me being a former athlete — I can relate to that. And it gets me going. I pound my chest. I jump and down. I scream. (Laughs)

Alloy Entertainment: What is at the top of your Originals wish list?
Charles Michael Davis: I hope that Kol comes back and lives. He’s a really interesting character and I think there are a lots of stories to explore there.

What question are you eager to ask Charles Michael Davis? Drop us a comment and let us know!

When she isn’t flashing her claws on The Vampire Diaries, getting into supernatural mischief on The Originals, keeping up with fashion news for Vogue Australia, or blogging about her healthy lifestyle on Your Zen Life with Teresa Palmer, Phoebe Tonkin is straight up chilling. In an itty bitty polka dot bikini. Poolside. Well, at least that’s what the gorgeous CW actress was spotted doing at Hollywood’s Standard Hotel, where she met up with Shop-Ghost to splash around under the sun and talk about her edgy roles, sense of style, and guilty pleasures (i.e. dimples, green juice, and underwear).

The post Phoebe Tonkin Dives into Summer in Shop-Ghost Bikini Photo Shoot appeared first on The Vampire Diaries.

That’s right — Sheriff Forbes has an exciting career opportunity lined up! While she’s still going to continue protecting the residents of her town (and flirting with Damon Salvatore) to the best of her abilities, the actress who plays her — Marguerite MacIntyre — has been tapped to join The Vampire Diaries spin-off as a writer.

Liz Tigelaar, who writes for the enticing A&E series Bates Motel, announced the news on Twitter recently when she congratulated the actress on her creative new role: “Congrats to @Caryshotwife who not only rocks sheriff pants on #TVD but is also a writer on #TheOriginals. #yay #doublethreat.”

The Originals centers on the tough yet vulnerable members of the Mikaelson clan, as Klaus (Joseph Morgan) returns to the melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans — a town he helped build centuries ago. Klaus’ questions lead him to a reunion with his former protégé, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), a charismatic vampire who has total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans. Determined to help his brother find redemption, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) follows Klaus and soon learns that Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) has also come to the French Quarter searching for clues to her family history, only to have fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie (Daniella Pineda) who reveals that Hayley is pregnant with Klaus’ child.

Congrats to Marguerite! We can’t wait to see what sorts of dramatic scenarios and romantic debacles she has in store for Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Marcel and all the mysterious creatures of New Orleans. Perhaps she’ll vouch on behalf of crossover opportunities, such as Liz and Caroline (Candice Accola) embarking on a mother-daughter road trip to the Big Easy where Liz meets the man of her dreams and Caroline and Klaus hit up a local cafe for beignets and jazz music. Just a suggestion!

Post your well wishes for Marguerite MacIntrye in the comments and tell us if you’d love to see Sheriff Forbes pop up on The Originals!

Here’s what Colin told Alloy Entertainment: “We’ve had a couple of guests from The CW. In fact, Candice Accola did an episode with us and of course we had to perform some vampire scenes there. She was very pleasant and easy to work with.” So what advice did Colin provide TVD’s kickass blonde with to help ease her improv nerves? “Just don’t have anything planned and be ready to react to anything that happens. And that’s basically it,” he offered.

Eager to find out what sorts of sketches Candice had to do, we asked Colin which of the show’s hilarious traditional games would be returning. He revealed, “All of them, even Hoedown.” (Naturally, we expressed our utmost joy and he teased, “Don’t say ‘oh’ like you’re excited. It’s the most horrible game!”) He elaborated, “We’ve done a couple of Hoedowns. We’ve done Props, Sound Effects, and Greatest Hits.

And that’s not all! A new game has been introduced that’s bound to quickly become a fan favorite. “The camera is on the ceiling,” Colin explained with a chuckle. “Meanwhile, the actors are on the floor on their sides and moving around like it’s normal.” When we pointed out that it all sounds like the sort of activity that requires Olympic style training, Colin responded, “You know what? It was all very grueling. I bled through it! But that’s alright — it still got laughs.”

We can’t wait to see Candice Accola show off her comedic chops on Whose Line Is It! So, fang fans, which other Vampire Diaries star would you love to see appear alongside Aisha Tyler, Wayne Brady,  Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie? Cast your vote in the comments!

The Vampire Diaries spin-off, The Originals, doesn’t officially air until Fall 2013, but the show’s talented cast members are ready to get the supernatural mayhem started! And what better way to kick off all the heart-racing drama than by reuniting for a dark and glamorous promotional shoot for The CW? Well, that’s what Joseph Morgan, Claire Holt, Daniel Gillies, Charles Michael Davis, Phoebe Tonkin, Danielle Campbell, Daniella Pineda, and Leah Pipes must have had in mind judging by all the hilarious sneak peek pics that the network recently posted!

“Rise and shine @danieljgillies @MissClaireHolt @CharlesMD @1PhoebeJTonkin @Maniella @leahmariepipes @daniellemcam Show Time! #beoriginal,” Joseph tweeted with at his costars first thing in the morning. (It sounds like someone was super excited about the OG reunion!)

That’s right. The fang gang is back and it feels — and it looks — so good! Check out the behind the scenes photos of The Originals cast members below. Then, drop us a comment telling us who of this gorgeous pointy-toothed bunch could be a serious contender for America’s Next Top Model!

The post Go Behind the Scenes of The Originals Cast Photo Shoot appeared first on The Vampire Diaries.

Check out what the stars of The Originals had to say to Klaus right below!

• Daniel Gillies: “Well, I’m about to become a parent myself in my own life right now, but I’m not in the position to give parenting tips because I haven’t done that yet. I’m really looking forward to it though. My wife is about four months along right now so get back to me in six or seven months and I’ll have some for you!”
• Daniella Pineda: “Lighten up. Lighten up, man. Take your kid out for Little League.” She adds, “Seriously. That poor kid. What’s he going to do? Hit up the playground? Go to kindergarten? He’s going to have werewolf face!”
• Claire Holt: “Don’t screw it up!”
• Charles Michael Davis: “Budget some time to sleep…but he’s a vampire so he probably doesn’t need that much anyway. Personally, I think Klaus is going to be great at being a father!”
• Joseph Morgan: “I know exactly what advice I’d offer Klaus — don’t bite the baby!”
• Arielle Kebbel: “Please go to another planet for your child’s sake. For all of our sakes.”

The post Exclusive: The Originals Cast Members Offer Parenting Advice to Klaus appeared first on The Vampire Diaries.

Alloy Entertainment caught up with the Originals cast members at the CW Upfront and we asked them what gift they’d coming bearing if a celebration did take place. (Yes, it’s a premature question but we’re eager to see if this child is going to be the Blair Waldorf of the supernatural world!) Here’s what they told to us:

• Daniella Pineda: “Well, they’re having a little blood-sucking werewolf baby. It’s going to come out like a little grizzly bear. As far as what I’d get them for the baby? Probably some conditioner. Some scissors. A certificate to a local salon for annual hair maintenance.”
• Claire Holt: “A stake for the baby. To get rid of the vampires. Or maybe a witch. Or maybe something to use against the witches. What melts witches? Holy water, perhaps?” And of course we thought she meant a steak dinner so Claire clarified in a joking tone: “Noooo! Not like a meat steak. (laughs) I’m not going to give the baby an order of beef filet.”
• Charles Michael David: “I would get Klaus a top of the line stroller. Everyone needs a sturdy stroller. It’s very practical.” (And then he paused and exclaimed, “Darn. Claire came up with such a good answer!”)

What would YOU bring to Klaus and Hayley’s baby shower if such an event took place?
