We gotta hand it to The Vampire Diaries.
Accused of being a rip-off of the Twilight Saga, even though the aforementioned book series came out prior to Stephanie Meyer's novels, The CW hit winked at the controversy this week.
During an exchange with another character, Damon Salvatore - played brilliantly by Ian Somerhalder - puts down the book he's been reading and says:
What's so special about this Bella girl? Edward's so whipped!
We almost spit out our Strawberry Kimi Gatorade at the line. Damon then says the book "has it all wrong," regarding how humans are turned into vampires. It was a funny, unexpected moment; one we hope Twilight fans have a sense of humor about.
Considering the rave reviews Somerhalder has been receiving, it might be more apt to now ask again: Who makes the hotter pretend vampire?

ugh i hate the vampire diaries its so gay, its funny how l.j. smith wants to get her vampire books out there in t.v. ever since the twilight saga got famous, ughh haters!!!! they Betta stop taking shots at the twilight in there series because there's a lot of twilight fans out there and there’s going to be be chaos, besides l.j. smith had more than a decade to make her books into movies or something its funny she picks now, trying to steal twilight's fame, she needs to let other people have a chance, besides Stephine Meyer is so much better then her!!!! l.j smith even tried to make her character Elena look like Bella, because her books they describe her with blond hair and blues eyes like “ice queen” so why in the t.v. series Elena has brown eyes and brown hair!!!! COPY CATERS!!!!!!!

Damon is so sexy, unlike that stinky yucky Edward??? That Bella girl is so ugly, Helena is way prettier. I hate Twilight. The Vampire Diaries is good, but True Blood is the best show ever. So was Moonlight.

Ian is HOT! - I can't take my eyes off him when he is on screen. I think Robert Pattinson is one of the homliest guys to hit the big screen. I cringe when I see him in the magazines. The Vampire Diaries may not be the greatest show on TV, but I watch just for the Damon character. Damon can suck my blood anytime!

Admittedly, I was shocked. But then I laughed until I was crying. It was priceless. And I don't know what the Twilighters problem is - every major tv show - in particular sfupernatural or sci-fi has somewhere down the line made fun of another popular/major work. I mean Buffy made fun of Dracula (which I LOVE). But there was no scandal there. Dracula is more of a masterpiece as well and older. Twi-fans should take this in good faith cz other fandoms usually do, think its being blown out of proportion tbh.
ps, robert is hot but ian = wowsers :D

I liked Stuart Townsend (Queen of the damned) the most as a vampire. He has it all
