The final episodes of the season of The Vampire Diaries begin rolling out on March 25th. Here's a peek at what to expect:

Matt and Caroline are surprised by the sudden reappearance of Matt’s mother Kelly.

Stefan and Elena are worried about Damon’s new attitude.

Damon is asked by Sheriff Forbes to take part in a fund-raising bachelor auction.

Alaric discovers shocking secrets from his own past.

With help from Jenna and Stefan, Elena is determined to find out everything she can about her birth mother, but can she handle the truth?

Anna brings a surprising guest along when she pays a visit to Damon.

Elena and Stefan go on an awkward double date with Caroline and Matt, but Stefan and Matt find they have some common ground.

Jenna reunites with her old friend Kelly.

Jeremy’s relationship with Anna takes an unexpected direction.

Jules Kirby, High Society's resident bee-yotch is unhappy at the way the editors of her new show have chosen to portray her.

In Wednesday's series premiere, Jules is seen berating a hotel employee and heard belittling minorities with such demeaning remarks as my friends do tend not to be homosexuals, fat or Jewish people and I use the N word sometimes... and I really think it should be okay to say.

On her Facebook page, Ms. Kirby fought back. "I am sorry if you were offended. The show is scripted and we are given lines and characters. My grandmother is married to a Jew ... Everything was cut and pasted to make it look like I was a stupid bitch and I regret that they do not do a better job of saying it is a docu-soap, not a reality show," Kirby wrote.

What do you think? Were you offended my Jules' remarks or do you think she was edited to look bad for dramatic effect? Weigh in!

True to every major character he has played recently on TV, David Anders will arrive in Mystic Falls on April 15th as a no-goodnik. David Anders is always the bad guy and it will be no different on The Vampire Diaries, Anders will play Jonathan Gilbert, the uncle of Elena and Jeremy. When Jonathan Gilbert first pops up, it will be to sell Elena and Jeremy's father's medical office. According to an article published in Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Kevin Williamson says there is more than meets the eye to the elder Gilbert. "He has to sign the escrow papers but he isn’t quite ready to give the office up,” said Williamson. “But like everyone else in town, he’s there for something [else]. His intentions are not pure.”

Anders is perhaps best known for his role as the devious Sark on Alias and had a memorable story arc during season 2 of Heroes as the not quite immortal villain Adam Monroe. Anders recently completed a stint as terrorist Josef Bazhaev on 24.

The CW announced late yesterday that it's longest running series, Smallville will return next fall for an unprecedented 10th season.

Smallville has earned the right to return based on strong performances the series has produced after a move to Friday from its long established home on Thursday nights. Friday is typically the second lowest viewing night of the week, yet in its 9th season, Smallville has been able to increase viewership for the evening.

The current season of Smallville has been somewhat of a creative renaissance for the show, as many have cited this year's episodes as some of the best in show history.

Last month, The CW announced the renewals of five other series (Gossip Girl, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, America's Next Top Model and 90210). When Smallville did not appear on the list of returnees, many thought this to be the end of Clark Kent and company. Clearly, this is not the case.

Smallville airs on Fridays at 8pm (but you knew that already).

Are you happy that Smallville will continue next year? Tell us what you think.

As teased in this blog a few months ago, 90210's Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) -- fresh from a bad break up with Navid, will dabble in a bit of same sex experimentation. A just released promotional still from an upcoming episode of the series shows Adrianna in a makeout session with openly gay student Gia (co-star Rumer Willis). How long will this experimentation last? I don't know, but here's the pic.

After a long hiatus, 90210 returns with all new episodes this Tuesday, March 9th at 8pm. Will you be watching?

Producers have tapped a familiar face to star in the new pilot Nomads about a group of young backpackers who work with the CIA on secret missions.

Scott Porter who is best known for playing paraplegic ex-high school football star quarterback turned sports agent Jason Street during the first three seasons of critically acclaimed drama Friday Night Lights has signed on the dotted line to headline the possible new series.

Incidentally, Porter's former Friday Night Lights co-star Minka Kelly appeared in Body Politic, a pilot for a CW series last year that did not make the fall schedule.

The CW will announce it's fall schedule during upfront week in mid-May.

You've been in Gossip Girl withdrawal for most of the winter, I know. I feel your pain. These sneak previews may brighten up your day though.

Maggie Q is in talks to star as Nikita in the CW pilot of the same name. Nikita is a new take on La Femme Nikita, the hit film and cable network series. Maggie Q is no stranger to the action genre having appeared in such adrenaline charged blockbusters as Mission Impossible III, Rush Hour II and Live Free Or Die Hard!

Sean Faris has been chosen to headline Amy Sherman Palladino's Wyoming-based soap pilot. Faris who has appeared on such TV shows as Reunion and Life As We Know It is best known to CW fans for his most recent role of Ben McKittrick on The Vampire Diaries.

Finally, congrats to Gillian Zinser who plays Ivy Sullivan on 90210. She has just been promoted to a series regular on the show!

Ed Martin of The Huffington Post wrote a great review yesterday about Life UneXpected that you should check out:

"... the arrival this season of an entertaining hour drama that does not revolve around doctors, lawyers, detectives, government agents, supernatural beings or sex-crazed teenagers is a miraculous circumstance all its own."

"...uncommonly ambitious storyline as its foundation and characters with so many layers to them it could take years to peel them all away. The opportunities for rewarding emotional connections are endless."

Read the whole review here.

Life Unexpected stars Shiri Appleby and and Britt Robertson stopped by the WPIX Morning Show studio recently to talk about their roles in the new hit CW show.

Afterward they sat down with WPIX for exclusive interviews to be shown tonight on WPIX.com.

Check back later for more information!

Life Unexpected airs Mondays at 9pm on PIX. For more information, visit www.cwtv.com.

Here's what to expect in the weeks ahead on Life Unexpected:

Pressured by radio station management, Cate and Ryan reluctantly agree to let Baze join them on air for what turns into a public therapy session.

Lux tries to get Jones to drop the charges against her boyfriend, Bug.

In the midst of feeling like he is being pushed out of Lux’s life by Cate and Ryan, Baze wins the chance to compete against Ryan in a radio station contest and is determined to be the last man standing.

Cate contemplates finally telling Ryan the full truth about Baze, but can’t bear the thought of what might happen if she does.

When Tasha tells Lux she may have to move three hours away to a new foster home, Lux decides to help Tasha track down her mother who is still living in town.

The CW has greenlit a pilot from the production team behind such successful series as Numb3rs and The Good Wife.

According to trade newspaper The Hollywood Reporter, the potential series is called Nomads and "is described as an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride following a group of nearly broke young backpackers traveling the world who agree to earn money by working secret missions for the CIA."

Other newly announced projects in the works for a potential slot somewhere on The CW schedule are a reality show featuring celebrity trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson (Anderson boasts such clients as Shakira, Kate Hudson and Courteney Cox, but is best known as Madonna's former personal trainer. Described as a docu-soap, this possible series comes from Ryan Seacrest Productions) and Lost Weekend, "a scavenger hunt show" from Brett Ratner (X-Men, Rush Hour, Prison Break).

The network is also looking to possibly break tradition this summer and air a schedule with first-run content in lieu of the repeats that usually play during the off-season.

According to the star-gazing site On Location Vacations, Gossip Girl is filming today near Columbia University (116th Street and Broadway).

The CW has given early pick-ups to five series, guaranteeing that they will be around next fall with all-new episodes.

The five series are:

America's Next Top Model
Gossip Girl
Supernatural
Vampire Diaries
90210

The network cited strong ratings as the reason for the early renewals.

Still waiting word on whether they will be back for another season are such shows as
Smallville, Life Unexpected, One Tree Hill and Melrose Place, but there's still plenty of time so keep watching.

The CW will announce its fall schedule during upfront season in mid-May.

Stefan, Damon and Elena work with Bonnie and Grams to open the tomb in this week's pivotal episode of The Vampire Diaries. In the clip below, executive producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson tease a little of what we can expect when the tomb finally opens. "A lot of big bad things are revealed as a result of (the) tomb being opened...and there's a very tragic outcome...," says Plec.

Here's the trailer and a couple more pics for this week's episode which is titled, Fool Me Once.
