'Diaries' marathon

Have you been careless enough to miss any of the CW's "Vampire Diaries" episodes? The network is offering a chance to catch up with a weeklong marathon starting Dec. 14, when it will begin airing two episodes back-to-back through Dec. 18.

The show, starring Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, above, and Ian Somerhalder, has become the network's most-watched and highest-rated series among the 18-to-34 crowd, the demographic most desired by TV ad men.

Surflight benefit

Want to get out and enjoy some holiday cheer while also supporting the Surflight Theatre? Then head out to Buckalew's Tavern in Beach Haven on Dec. 8 to meet John Davidson and other cast members of the Surflight's production, "Ebenezer - A Musical Christmas Carol." There will be a buffet, Christmas carols and more.

Tickets are $25. Buckalew's is located at 101 N. Bay Ave. in Beach Haven. Call 609-492-9477 for tickets and information.

Back in session

Anthony Michael Hall, below, is back in school, only this time he's matriculated to junior college. Remember Hall as the shy little kid from "Breakfast Club"? He's all grown up now and starred in his own sci-fi series, "The Dead Zone," but he'll be back on campus Dec. 10 when he guest stars on NBC's "Community." He plays a bully who challenges Joel McHale to a fight.

After co-starring in a series of John Hughes movies, Hall seemed to disappear.

"I never really stopped," he says. "I just had to stay at it and survive in whatever ways I could. Sometimes I was doing episodic work on 'Touched by an Angel' or 'Diagnosis, Murder.' I valued the job that much more because I was there for only a week at a time. There were many interesting transitionary points in my career. I had to really dig deep and make sure this is what I wanted. It's like being a traveling salesman, almost - all you have is who you are and what you can really bring to the role when you go for a job."
