Kat Graham may be best known for her award-winning portrayal of teen witch Bonnie Bennett on The CW’s hit teen drama The Vampire Diaries. But the young star wants her fans to know she is nothing like – and so much more than – her TV alter-ego. With her first major-label pop single “Put Your Graffitti on Me,” the actor/singer/dancer is breaking all the way out of the box.

EBONY: You’ve been creating music and releasing singles for years but this is your first project with a major label. How would you describe your sound and evolution as an artist?

KAT GRAHAM: I would describe it now as strong vocal and heavy drums, melodic 90’S bitch pop. It’s definitely grown into fun, self-empowerment, self-ownership kind of music.

Fans of the erotic trilogy might not mind seeing Dobrev get her S&M on with her “Diaries” co-star Ian Somerhalder in the big-screen adaptation of the E L James book. But she confessed that if she does play the part, she wouldn’t want to have Somerhalder playing the millionaire beau, Christian Grey.

We hate when Bing product placement invades our favorite CW shows — there’s just something grating about Elena Gilbert’s Aunt Jenna telling her that she’s adopted, but no worries! She “Binged” her birth mother.

Our Bing grudge is lifting, though, because we’re loving their latest CW campaign in which they highlight some of our favorite stars’ extracurricular activities. Bing joined “Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder on his recent mission to clean up the Santa Monica beach, then followed him to a gorgeous benefit bash that night.

Next week, we’ll also get a peek at what “Supernatural” angel Misha Collins does in his off-time, particularly with his organization Random Acts. Read up on it here, and tune in to the “Supernatural” Season 7 finale on Friday night to see more from Collins.
