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.”

Tonight is the night!! Klaus (played by Joseph Morgan), the big old original vampire who wants to sacrifice Elena to break the moonstone curse, makes his grand appearance during “The Vampire Diaries” 2×19 episode simply titled “Klaus” on Thursday night (April 21)- pictures/videos sneak peeks below.

Last week, Klaus took over Alaric’s (Matt Davis) body and Bonnie (Katerina Graham) had to fake her own death with some help from Damon (Ian Somerhalder). This week, the real Klaus will be revealed and we will finally learn more about this character, including his surprising motives.

The Vampire Diaries, Episode 2×19: “Klaus”

Meanwhile, Stefan has his hands full trying to keep a confused and frightened Jenna (Sara Canning) safe. Flashbacks to 1491 reveal Katherine’s (Nina Dobrev) introduction to Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Klaus, along with the origin of the moonstone curse.

Only five more episodes left before the close of season 2 on The Vampire Diaries and tonight’s promises to bring the drama.

Episode 2.18 “The Last Dance” is going to have a death that will have you full-on weeping. The shocks that are touted for tonight’s show are epic – and it isn’t even the finale yet! We do know that Kat Graham has told reporters that there are 3 major deaths that occur before the season is through – if Isobel’s was one last week or not, no one is confirming – but tonight definitely contains a significant one.

Besides the death watch, Alaric’s body is inhabited by Klaus and I can’t wait to see him/them go rogue and do some Mystic Falls damage – whether it’s physical or psychological – I’m looking forward to the havoc he brings tonight.

Here is the official synopsis of tonight’s episode:

DANCING WITH DANGER — As the high school prepares to throw a “1960s Decade Dance,” Elena (Nina Dobrev) starts receiving disturbing messages from Klaus via an unusual source. Bonnie (Katerina Graham) tries to reassure Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) that she is strong enough to help Elena, but a worried Jeremy asks Stefan (Paul Wesley) for advice. Caroline (Candice Accola) talks Matt (Zach Roerig) into taking her to the dance. Expecting Klaus to show up at the dance, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Alaric (Matt Davis) attend as chaperones, but Klaus is playing a complicated game that keeps them on edge. Finally, Damon comes up with a new plan of action that shocks and upsets everyone.

Nina Dobrev takes the cover of Teen Vogue for April 2011 issue.

The Vampire Diaries star is currently juggling the roles of vampire Katherine and the human Elena. She confesses to the magazine how tired she is playing two parts on the hit CW show.

“When I signed on to the show, I didn’t know whether I’d be playing both girls,” says Nina. “And while it’s been cool, it’s also exhausting because it’s double the work. You invest so much of your heart and soul and energy into making even one character. It’s like doing two movies at once.”

Dobrev says with her work schedule what it is, she doesn’t have much free time.

“By the time I get home, memorize the next day’s work, brush my teeth, remove all the makeup, and shower to get the blood off . . . And then I have to be back at work in seven hours. I can only do so much.”

But the 22 year-old does have a moment to address the speculation and rumors she is dating her costar, 32 year-old Ian Somerhalder.

“We expected the rumors,” she says. “Like, if I wasn’t dating Ian, I’d be dating Paul [Wesley]. A lot of people who work together end up dating, so it wouldn’t be unusual, but I’ve never dated anyone I’ve worked with.”

There ya have it – sorta.

The Vampire Diaries episode 2.16 “The House Guest” is the last new show before it goes on another one of the dreaded CW month-long hiatus. No new episodes until April.

Knowing there is a long drought between episodes says tonight’s will be a doozy with enough mayhem, killing and shocking surprises to keep us interested on the break. So let’s get to it – here is the official synopsis:

A NIGHT OF CONFESSIONS — Katherine’s (Nina Dobrev) mind games are getting on everyone’s nerves, but Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) realize that her knowledge of Mystic Falls history will help them stay alive.  Frustrated with her relationship with Matt (Zach Roerig), Caroline (Candice Accola) finds a new way to get his attention.  Alaric (Matt Davis) makes a surprising confession to Jenna (Sara Canning), and Katherine makes a different kind of confession to Damon.  Stefan and Bonnie (Katerina Graham) try to convince Jonas (guest star Randy Goodwin) and Luka (guest star Bryton James) that they should all be working together, but Jonas’ lack of trust leads to a violent and fiery confrontation. Steven R. McQueen also stars. Michael Katleman directed the episode written by Caroline Dries (#216).

Check it tonight on the CW at 8pm ET.

Jenna Ushkowitz and Michael Trevino took in the NBA All-Star Game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 20th.

While the couple did not pose together on the magenta carpet heading inside (at least no photos have surfaced yet,) they were spotted together inside the venue.

Trevino has been everywhere but filming in Atlanta lately as his character on The Vampire Diaries, Tyler Lockwood, has taken off to learn the werewolf rules with (and perhaps spy on?) Jules (Michaela McManus.) Hopefully, he will be back soon. I know I certainly miss the Tyler/Caroline (Candice Accola) storyline!

Check out photos of both Trevino and Ushkowitz below.  Read more »

“The Vampire Diaries” star Nina Dobrev confessed she is not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day, especially when she does not have a boyfriend to share it with, in a new interview for MTV (see video below).

However, the 22 year-old actress ended up revealing she is a hopelessly romantic when she chose Aerosmith’s power ballad “I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing” as her favorite slow jam.

Nina was also asked about what would be the perfect Valentine’s Day for her characters, Elena and Catherine, in the CW’s hit show. For Elena, Nina says she should go on a date with Matt and eat a burger; and Stefan and Damon should offer Catherine a bunny (a living one for her to feed on…). Funny.
