Star of  The Vampire Diaries, Nina Dobrev shocked the world Thursday night, when she pulled a “Bella Swan” during the season three finale of the hit CW show.

In an exclusive interview, the 23-year-old actress opened up about her character’s transition into the world of the undead…or the forever-alive… or whatever you want to call them.

We’re definitely going to see her whole transition into becoming a vampire. We’re not going to skip over it, as we have with others. Becoming a vampire, everything you feel is heightened. . . We know what Elena’s like: She has high morals, she looks out for other people. So what’s Elena going to be like with those things accentuated?

So why did Elena choose Stefan when it was sure to leave her looking super pale and gauntly for the rest of eternity?  Because, like, WE were totally hoping she’d end up with Damon and stay all moral and cute – at least for another season or two!

It does kind of feel like you’re disappointing half the people. But you’re always going to disappoint half the people with this kind of storyline. I think we gave them both what they wanted at some point or another during the season, so it’s not like we shunned them or disregarded their wants.

Alright, alright – we guess we’e satisfied with that answer.  Season 4 can’t come soon enough!!!

OH. MY. GOD. The Vampire Diaries returns with a devilish Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley), who now drinks human blood and hunts with Klaus, and a new hero, Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder), who is doing everything he can to track down his brother and bring him back to Elena (Nina Dobrev).

‘The Vampire Diaries’ 3.01 “The Birthday” Promo PHOTOS

It’s Elena’s 18th birthday. A few months went by after Stefan disappeared with Klaus, Elena has been diligently searching for her one true love and does not believe Damon is as committed as she is. Elena has no reason to celebrate, yet Caroline (Candice Accola) is determined to throw her a big party.

Meanwhile, Elena’s brother Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) continues seeing the ghosts of his past girlfriends, Vicki (Kayla Ewell) and Anna (Malese Jow), while Caroline attempts to deal with the growing sexual tension between her and her best friend, werewolf Tyler (Michael Trevino).

Delena shippers rejoice! Stefan is out of the picture now! The third season of The Vampire Diaries premieres tonight on the CW (watch preview/sneak peek videos below).

It’s getting close to the return of The Vampire Diaries and we’ve got photos from the season 3 opener “The Birthday” and some details of the ep.

We know the show starts up with Elena’s 18th birthday (so she’s legal guardian to her younger brother Jeremy, now that Aunt Jenna is dead.) Stefan is on his Great Ripper Race with Klaus and Damon is brooding. Caroline and Tyler are getting closer – much closer. Jeremy still sees dead people, but now he does it at the Mystic Grill, working with Matt.

TVD returns Thursday, September 15th at 8pm ET.

Get the photos and official synopsis below.  Read more »

The Vampire Diaries stars are red hot and Rolling Stone grabs the super sexy leads for a fun photo shoot.

Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev fall, jump and stare in the hottest way possible. I mean seriously – who else but these three can fall and look absolutely amazing at the same time!

Here’s what they had to say:

Ian wants you to peep TVD: “The whole Twilight thing is about to be over. And teenage girls can’t watch True Blood with their parents — that would just get weird. So we’re getting ready to kick some major ass this season.”

Nina on the photo shoot: “We’ve been doing a photo shoot that’s unlike any that we’ve done before,” says Dobrev. “We’re testing the limits of gravity.” (Err… falling is actually adhering to the laws of gravity… I’m guessing she’s referring to how the end shots look.)

TVD is back with season 3 premiering Thursday, September 15th at 8pm ET. Their issue of Rolling Stone (with the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the cover) is on sale now.

Nina Dobrev was a knock out at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, August 7th at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA.

The Vampire Diaries star hit a fashion home run in a D & G blue gingham dress with squared neckline and flared skirt. She had her hair pulled back in a cute ponytail and looked great!

I have to say, I like this look so much better than what she’s worn at other awards shows recently.

The Vampire Diaries season 3 premiere is still too far away, but luckily the CW is giving us naked Ian Somerhalder to tide fans over.

Yep, that’s right. Damon gets soaped up in the new sizzle reel and gives Elena (Nina Dobrev) an eyeful.

And being TVD, you have to wait for it – around the 3:10 mark.

It’s mostly a rehash of what happened last year: Stefan (Paul Wesley) going on a blood bender with Klaus (Joseph Morgan). Elijah (Daniel Gillies) explaining the hybrid deal. Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) and the ghosts of girlfriends past (Malese Jow & Kayla Ewell) after Bonnie’s (Kat Graham) spell has unintended consequences. Caroline (Candice Accola) and Matt (Zach Roerig) trying to keep Tyler (Michael Trevino) from biting them while in wolf form.

Then, like in every episode, the last few moments bring the wow…

Nina Dobrev stepped out on the red carpet in San Diego last weekend for the Cowboys & Aliens premiere.

Dobrev and some of her costars from The Vampire Diaries, were at Comic-Con promoting the show’s upcoming third season.

The 22 year-old  chose a black dress with lace inset panels from Zuhair Murad. Nina paired the dress with an orangey red set of platform heels.

The actress and her boyfriend Ian Somerhalder, were also spotted at the EW party later that evening where the two were reportedly “inseparable” and indulged in a little PDA.

The upcoming season of The Vampire Diaries promises loads of plot twists and turns – let’s face it, it’s become known for shocking the viewer with unpredicted journeys.

One of last season’s carry-over storyline – Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) reverting to his ‘blood addiction’ thanks to Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) evil ways – has Wesley very excited to explore this side of Stefan, according to costar Nina Dobrev.

“Paul is very happy that Stefan is now going to the dark side,” Dobrev told MTV at Comic-Con.

“He’s really excited about it, and I think it’s going to be great for him. He’s a very strong actor, so it’s awesome.”

Nina drops a small hint about Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and his ability to be the hero with Stefan out of the way.

“He’s as heroic as Damon can be,” she said. “Damon will always have a rough, kind of tough side to him, so take that as you will.”

“He has redeeming qualities but he’s still damaged goods in many ways, as we all are. We’ve all got baggage.”

The Vampire Diaries returns to The CW on Thursday, September 15th.

Nina Dobrev has earned herself the cover for Seventeen Fitness magazine – Celeb Special Issue that hits May 3rd.

The actress is certainly in fine form and shares that she’s happy with her body; bruises and all.

“I’ve reached a point where I’m comfortable in my own skin, and I do what I need to do, to feel good, but I’m built the way I am,” Dobrev says.

“The dancer’s feet, the bruises on my legs, they’re not going to go away. I think real girls have bruises. Tough chicks get bruised. They get dirty. And they have fun. It’s just a part of life!”

The Vampire Diaries star stays fit by making sports a part of day at the beach, not suntanning.

“I don’t really wear stringy bikinis much,” Nina says as guys everywhere tear up a little.

” I wear a lot of thicker, sportier stuff, because I’ll play volleyball on the beach and go surfing and swimming. I’m not the lounge-in-a-chair-in-next-to-nothing-for-tan-lines kind of girl.”

More photos of Nina are below and a behind the scenes video of her shoot. Read more »
