Exclusive: ‘Vampire Diaries’ Kat Graham Gives Us Her Pop Culture Predictions

Exclusive: 'Vampire Diaries' Kat Graham Gives Us Her Pop Culture Predictions

We have to admit: We were nervous about talking to Kat(erina) Graham. As much as we like our vampire mythologies around here, it’s daunting to talk to someone whose character Bonnie Bennett on the CW’s Vamprie Diaries happen to be a psychic and a witch. Add in the fact that the young actress recently covered Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted Snake” and is slated to appear in two major films this year, and you’ve got a downright formidable young actress to call up. Was she going to be a diva? A ditz? Little did we know (though maybe Kat did, psychically), that by the end of the interview we’d accidently say “I love you,” instead of “Goodbye.” Too much? We don’t care: Kat Graham is a kick-ass lady. More »

Here is why Jessica should replace Ellen:

1. Unofficial studies have shown that Idol fans really, really miss Paula Abdul. Paula, with her seal claps and glazed, medicated eyes,… More »
