Dawn Olivieri must have a thing for attractive, supernatural beings.

The actress, most recently seen as Alcide's sister on True Blood, has landed a guest-starring role on The Vampire Diaries.

No word yet on when Olivieri will debut, or for how long she'll stick around Mystic Falls, but she'll portray a local newscaster named Andie Star.

“It looks like I will be spicing things up," the actress said of the role.

Sounds good to us! Sorry, ladies, but the show has to cast a beautiful woman sometimes, too.
