Gossip Teen

No, this isn’t a scene from an Olympic water polo match gone horribly awry – it’s Lady Gaga and her uber-hot BF Taylor Kinney taking a relaxing skinny dip together and rubbing it in all of our faces.

The duo, who began dating after meeting on the set of Gaga’s “You and I” video, have been together for roughly a year now and things don’t seem to be cooling off at all!

According to a source,

They are going to try and make it work even with her crazy schedule… Gaga realized she missed him.

Another insider close to the couple added,

Obviously she thinks he’s hot… She says he’s ‘really cool.’

Well, which one is it Gaga?  Is he hot or cool?  Sorry, that was just awful – but we couldn’t resist

We couldn’t be happier that the Mother Monster has finally found her Vampire in shining armor!

The second round of nominations for the 2012 Teen Choice Awards have finally been revealed and we have just one thing to say about them…

This is going to be the longest award show in the HISTORY of award shows!

But we guess it makes sense that the TCA’s would have the biggest list of nominees because there are so many talented teens stars and starlets in Hollywood right now!

Check out the full list of nominees below and and you can vote for your favorites at TeenChoiceAwards.com!  The 2012 Teen Choice Awards air on FOX July 22nd.

Mother Monster Lady Gaga stepped out in Cali with her latest boy toy Taylor Kinney of Vampire Diaries.  The pair looked quite cozy as they strolled the neighborhood surrounding Kinney’s apartment, where Gaga is currently crashing.

The couple, who until recently were only rumored to be romantically linked, met on the set of Gaga’s latest music video for her single “You and I” and apparently have had eyes for each other ever since.  Sources have even spotted Gaga checking out real estate near Kinney’s Lancaster County, PA home.

Is the queen of surprises preparing for her most shocking stunt yet – settling down!?

Stefan flashes back to a time in his life when he wasn’t in control of his vamp-y ways on tonight’s episode of The Vampire Diaries.

Season 3 episode 3, “The End of the Affair” brings the younger Salvatore brother back to his ripper days, courtesy of Klaus and Stefan’s ex Rebekah.

Caroline is held captive still, by her vampire hunter father and will have a day in the sun… Ouch!

Here’s the official synopsis:

THE ROARING TWENTIES — Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) arrive in Chicago, where Stefan is reunited with a vampire (guest star Claire Holt, Pretty Little Liars) who hasn’t really moved on from her interest in him decades earlier. In a flashback to Chicago in the 1920s, Stefan comes face-to-face with a shocking chapter from his wild past. After Damon (Ian Somerhalder) gets a tip on Stefan and Klaus’ whereabouts from an unexpected source, he and Elena (Nina Dobrev) follow their trail. Back in Mystic Falls, Tyler (Michael Trevino) is concerned about Caroline and turns to Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre) for help.

Check out the preview videos below. Read more »

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).

“The Vampire Diaries” 3.01 – “The Birthday” – Preview & Sneak Peeks Videos Read more »

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.

More photos and a behind-the-scenes video are below.  Read more »

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…

Check it below. Read more »

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.
