It's CW Premiere Week!
The weather may be cooling down outside your front door, but things inside your living room are about to get hotter than ever.
That's because The CW kicks off its 2011-2012 season this week, airing a slew of season and series premieres. We were fortunate enough to be on hand at the network's Bing-sponsored premiere party in Burbank on Saturday night, and we've posted a bunch of pictures below from the event.
Click through now, as stars from various shows came together, and then fire up that DVR. We've included the week's premiere schedule after the photos. (Note: All episodes/programs to be covered in-depth by TV Fanatic.)

The Vampire Diaries (8 p.m.) - Elena is turning 18, Jeremy is seeing dead ex-girlfriends, Stefan is a Klaus-inspired killing machine. It really doesn't get any hotter than THIS. Safe to say... WE CANNOT WAIT.
The Secret Circle (9 p.m.) - Don't worry if you aren't able to move after whatever unexpected cliffhanger the above premiere throws at viewers. This serves serves as the ideal companion to The Vampire Diaries, focusing on two generations of witches and introducing fans to new love triangles and mysteries.

Can't wait for the Vampire Diaries to start up on Thursday. Looking forward to Stefan the ripper. But, it's going to be hard not to see him and Elena together. They are both so sexy and so in love. Hope it won't be long until they get back together.
