The CW's new teen drama Vampire Diaries has picked up Ian Somerhalder as its smug Chuck Bass vampire - take that, Twilight.

You have to admit, the one thing the CW knows how to do is build a popular teen drama. Now that they are jumping on the vampire bandwagon, with the good-looking Somerhalder. I don't know what can stop them.

The Vampire Diaries series is based on a series of books from Alloy Entertainment. The story focuses on one woman who falls in love with a pair of brother vampires - and of course, one is good and one is evil.

Well, the CW has never disappointed before with bubblegum drama, and I've always loved me some Boone, so I for one support this new vampy drama.
