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.

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.

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 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.

Nina Dobrev is tempting you to get closer. Is she Katherine or is she Elena… The new poster released for The Vampire Diaries‘ return has the tagline “If You Can’t Tell Them Apart, Come Closer.” Totally Katherine!

Dobrev has said playing the multiple parts (Katherine in the 1800s, Katherine in the 1400s and both Katherine and Elena in the present) are making her a little crazy.

“It’s not easy, and I think I’m slowly becoming a schizophrenic because of it,” Dobrev said during the CW’s Kick-Ass Women panel at the TCA Press Tour last week.

The Vampire Diaries will return this Thursday night with episode 12 “The Descent” at 8pm on The CW.

Nina Dobrev lands inside Elle Magazine’s February issue ‘Out of Character’ feature of women in television.

The Vampire Diaries star shared why she likes her TV role:

“Working on TV, you have this one character, and you have time to explore her, create her, see her develop into different people.”

The actress also tells Elle how hard it is to wear the period costumes:

“Wearing a corset kicks the wind out of you—I almost passed out once wearing it for 16 hours.”

It’s been such a long wait but Nina and costars Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Candice Accola and Michael Trevino will return with new TVD episodes Thursday January 27th.

Thursday night (September 30th) is a new episode of The Vampire Diaries titled “Memory Lane.” The official synopsis:

DAMON MAKES A DANGEROUS ENEMY — Stefan (Paul Wesley) takes drastic measures to find out the real reason Katherine (Nina Dobrev) has returned to Mystic Falls, and is shocked when she reveals new secrets about what really happened in 1864.  Damon (Ian Somerhalder) tries a new tactic to resolve his issues with Mason, (guest star Taylor Kinney), but it proves costly.  Tyler (Michael Trevino) pushes Mason to tell him the truth about the Lockwoods. Finally, when Katherine delivers an ultimatum, Stefan and Elena (Nina Dobrev) are left with very few options.  Sara Canning, Candice Accola, Zach Roerig and Matt Davis also star.  Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Caroline Dries.

Can’t wait for this episode!

Two more super sexy photos to promote the second season of The Vampire Diaries have surfaced with Nina Dobrev center stage.

These (I believe) showcase the duality of Nina’s two characters Katherine Pierce and Elena Gilbert. The photo with Nina, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder dressed in black has the evil, narcissist vampire Katherine lounging with the Salvatore brothers and the cast pic in white is Elena torn between her men. The show and the cast are on fire!

Which shot do you like better?

“The Vampire Diaries” star Paul Wesley, who plays the good Salvatore brother, reveals that Stefan will be really mad when he finds out his brother, Damon Salvatore, kissed his girlfriend, Elena.

‘The Vampire Diaries’ New Season 2 Teaser Trailer

Well, maybe Damon didn’t kiss Elena, but Katherine, who returned from the undead in the first season finale. The plot thickens. Kat is back and she wants the Salvatore brothers back. Kat cannot even consider Stefan might be really in love with her human lookalike, Elena.

“Stefan’s first reaction is, ‘I’m going to kill you’,” Wesley told Zap2It. “‘Like, I am literally going to kill you, rip you apart. This is my beautiful girl. This is the love of my life. Stay the hell away’.”

However, he added: “The thing is, Damon and Stefan have done this dance before. All Stefan is thinking is, ‘I’m not going to let you do this to me’. Eventually, his second reaction is to realize that his anger has never gotten him anywhere with Damon. Fighting fire with fire is just going to get you fire.”

“He’s furious with Damon for acting on his feelings for Elena, but more than that, he’s afraid that with everything going on, Damon is going to shut down again,” he said. “He’s going to lose all the humanity that Stefan and Elena have cultivated in him.

“Stefan can’t let that happen. At the end of the day, he absolutely loves his brother, and that’s a significant element of the story. In my opinion, it’s the most significant element of the story… He’s still really freakin’ p*ssed though!”

We will finally get to know a wilder side of Stefan. The Salvatore brothers are set to fight once again for the love of the same woman, but who will that woman be? Katherine or Elena? Or will they switch? Kat rekindles with Stefan and Damon falls completely for Elena?

The Vampire Diaries season two will premiere on The CW Thursday, September 9. I can’t wait!
