More about Anna, and her experiences filming “Up In The Air” with George Clooney… after the jump!

It’s noon in Atlanta and “The Vampire Diaries” star Paul Wesley is only just getting up.
It wasn’t a raging party or a mad case of insomnia that forced the 27-year-old — AccessHollywood.com’s newest Rising Star — to rouse from his slumber at lunchtime. Truth be told, the New Jersey-bred gent has only slept a few hours, the result of getting off work at the alarming early 4:30 AM.
“It’s not abnormal,” the surprisingly awake Wesley tells Access shortly after rising from his slumber. “It’s a very common thing for a vampire show.”
