Kayla Ewell Dishes On 'Twilight' Vampires And Her Own 'Vampire Diaries' Co-Stars
I hope Kayla Ewell likes the current popularity of vampires, because it's a big part of her life! In addition to starring in 'The Vampire Diaries,' she's still close friends with her ex-boyfriend, Kellan Lutz, of 'Twilight' fame, and has even met Robert Pattinson. Kayla talked about Kellan and Robert, as well as her own co-stars with OK! magazine.
What is her relationship with Kellan like?
It's fun to call Kellan and run ideas by him. He and I dated for years, when we were younger. We're really good friends still. It's so much fun for us, now, to see each other working and still be each other's support system. He's amazing.
What is Robert like?
He's definitely über-sexy and he doesn't try to be. I remember the first time I met him — I was like, "Oh, hello!" And then he starts talking and that makes it 1,000 times hotter. I'm a sucker for accents and any man who can actually sing and serenade you. He'd do open-mic nights in random bars in Portland, Ore., while they were filming Twilight. I was dating Kellan then and we'd all hang out sometimes.
So what are her 'The Vampire Diaries' co-stars, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley really like?
They're both so sexy! Every day I show up at work and think, "It's not fair that you're this hot!" They're so charming in real life and each has a really engaging personality. Ian is gregarious, the life of the party and the one everybody gravitates toward; Paul is like a secretive, sexy, groovy vampire — he's on the opposite end of the spectrum.
So, who's Kayla's favorite vampire?

"I would like to take this moment to actually say something genuine. There have been a lot of false reports concerning how I feel about this movie and I just want to be very clear that I've always felt that I am a very ordinary part of an extraordinary film.
“These movies took me out of obscurity and they gave me a career and I am completely grateful to everyone involved with this franchise."
Guess there is no more drama between Megan and Michael Bay.

Vampire Diaries' Star Ian Somerhalder Lands Next Movie Role
'Vampire Diaries' star Ian Somerhalder has signed onto his next project, a horror movie entitled 'The Cradlewood'. YEAH!! The more Ian we have made available to us, the happier I become. That boy is handsome!
Somerhalder will play the son of an old Boston blue-blood family, the heir to a fortune, who's dating an Australian girl (Emma Lung, Triangle). A family legend of his suggests that the family fortunes are tied up with a demon, and that a curse means that every time a boy is born into the family, his father dies. When he begins to experience strange things at the same time he starts suspecting his girlfriend is pregnant, he begins to worry that it's not just an old wives' tale.
I'm in! Right up my alley.
And while we are talking about 'Vampire Diaries' - how much do we LOVE this series? I am so happy every time I turn on my DVR and it's there waiting for me. I can't wait to find out Damon Salvatore's side of the story.
Paul Wesley: Interview With A Vampire
Paul Wesley, star of the new Vampire Diaries show on the CW talked to Access Hollywood about getting the role and how it's changed his life.
“I had to work so hard to get this role… that when I did finally get it and I got on set, it was sort of one of these things where I just felt so challenged that I almost never settled in and went ‘OK, I can enjoy this. I can relax,’” Wesley, who is currently filming the sixth “Vampire Diaries” episode, said. “He’s a very complex character… and I’m starting to really figure him out.
He says he's not feeling any paparazzi pressure just yet:
“People come up to me, but it’s always just very civil,” he said. “I know that like, Brad Pitt or Robert Pattinson or any of the ‘Twilight’ kids, they literally can’t leave their house, and I certainly don’t feel that in the least bit. I just feel normal, it just feels totally normal.”
Paul is also going to be in a few upcoming episodes of 24 with Kiefer Sutherland, playing Elisha Cuthbert's husband.
“It was a pleasure to work on the show because it’s such a prestigious show and I just wanted to be involved in any way possible,” Wesley said of his small role, which began last season. “I love Elisha. She’s so sweet and I got to meet Kiefer Sutherland which is great because I’m a big fan.”
Vampire Diaries' third episode airs tonight on the CW. Have you caught this new series?
