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?

Candice Accola’s Caroline has been having a rough time onscreen lately. The Vampire Diaries actress has had her character become a living blood bank to satisfy Damon Salvatore’s thirst. After freeing him from the dungeon, Damon (played perfectly by Ian Somerhalder) has thrown her aside alive, thankfully! Caroline is leaning on Matt (Zach Roerig) for support and maybe a little more. Accola weighs in on whether Caroline is ready for another boyfriend/romance/hook-up so quickly after her nightmare time with Damon:

“I don’t think Caroline needs a boyfriend, unless he’s going to be really good to her,” she told Hollywood Crush. “I think she’s got a lot on her plate between her friend’s a witch now [Bonnie played by Katerina Graham] … and getting over a relationship with her mother and her estranged father, who ran off with his lover. I think she’s got a full plate… but if it’s good love, that can never hurt.”

I loved the chemistry between Somerhalder and Accola so I hope there is more to come – a little revenge for Caroline would be super fun.

The Vampire Diaries are on hiatus until January 2010  *sigh*

And Happy Birthday to Ian Somerhalder!

While his sci-fi flick Pandorum is currently playing in theaters, Cam Gigandet went right back to filming on the set of Priest. The actor is playing a good guy this time around on a mission to save the girl he loves with Paul Bettany as the title character. Speaking to MTV, Gigandet mentions that he has really taken to riding motorcycles:

“Then I finally got to ride my motorcycle on set, and it is a huge beast of a motorcycle. It’s one of the coolest motorcycles, and Priest [Bettany] is on a motorcycle as well, and we get to ride in the middle of the desert on salt flats—it [looks] like those Chevy commercials.”

“We get to ride in the open plains, just me and him in the middle of nowhere,” Gigandet said of his time with Bettany in the flick, which hits theaters next summer. “It’s probably one of the best feelings in the world.”

This film sounds great! A half-vampire sheriff riding a motorcycle to save the girl. Looking forward to this movie due out August 2010.

Dakota Fanning is only 15 but she is an in demand actress and part of two of the most talked about upcoming films: The Runaways where she plays lead singer Cherie Currie and The Twilight Saga: New Moon as the evil vampire Jane Volturi.

She does all of this work while attending a private school in Los Angeles and manages to keep her head on straight when it comes to the fame and intrusiveness of the business. Able to have a private life (and not on the brink of self-destruction) she says:

‘‘You have to be able to separate your personal life from playing a character. . . . That’s not your real life.’’

Check out more of her interview (and great new pics!) with New York Times TMagazine here. She looks great in the photo above, wearing Chanel.

Fanning is returning to Vancouver with the rest of the cast as they begin shooting the third film in the series: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Switching sides from an evil vampire to one with a conscience, Cam Gigandet will take on another role as a vampire in the upcoming film Priest. Described as a horror western and adapted from a ToykoPop comic, Paul Bettany plays the priest who partners with Gigandet’s part-vampire sheriff to save the clergyman’s niece (and the sheriff’s love interest) stolen by the evil bloodsuckers. Love Cam. I will go to the movies to see him in just about anything.
