I hope the Salvatore brothers know kung fu.  Kelly Hu (Lady Deathstrike in X-men 2) has been added to the guest cast in the CW’s “Vampire Diaries” as Pearl, the Mystic Falls apothecary.  She will appear in flashbacks, but contrary to rumors online, her character will not be going door to door selling her wares and does not try to sell vervane to Katherine (played by Nina Dobrev) unawares.  Now, we’re asking what exactly will her character be doing!  (I’m hoping she’ll pull a Buffy!)

See Kelly Hu on “Vampire Diaries” on January 28, 2010.
