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”

KLAUS IS REVEALED — Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) are furious when they discover that Elena (Nina Dobrev) has defied them both to make a new ally and take control of the plan to out-maneuver Klaus (Joseph Morgan). Disagreement over how to protect Elena leads to growing tension between the Salvatore brothers. Meanwhile, Stefan has his hands full trying to keep a confused and frightened Jenna (Sara Canning) safe.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev spent Saturday afternoon together at the 2011 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.

The Vampire Diaries twosome has played it pretty shady about their off screen relationship however they spent their time on the grass with Joshua Jackson and Diane Krueger while checking out various bands at the annual music fest that is absolutely overrun with celebs and paparazzi.

There were no obvious signs of coupledom – no kissing or hand holding – and they were clearly aware of the photographers (who wouldn’t be) but it certainly appears they have taken their on screen chemistry off screen as well.

Somerhalder appeared on Live with Regis & Kelly recently and when asked told the chat show hosts his girlfriend was “The Vampire Diaries.”

Dobrev covered Teen Vogue in April and gave close to a flat out denial saying: “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.”

If the two are dating, they’ve come pretty darn close to outright lying and if they’re not, well then they’ve gotten great publicity out of it all. (There have been tweets from people who’ve seen them together on Valentine’s Day and around Atlanta where TVD is filmed and a photo of the two taken at Christmas time.)

Everyone is entitled to their privacy, and if they are dating and want to keep it to themselves, that’s fine – but why choose to answer those questions in such a way that looks duplicitous in the end?

Either way – they certainly are hot together, that’s for sure!

What do you think? Happy they are together? Angry at how they’ve addressed it? Neither?

More photos of the two are below (and yes, Ian is misidentified by the photo service as Tom Welling).  Read more »

Nina Dobrev has landed a role in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The Vampire Diaries actress is joining Logan Lerman and Emma Watson for the adaptation of the book by author Stephen Chbosky, according to Deadline.

Dobrev, 21, will play Candace, while Logan is Charlie and Watson has the role of Sam.

The book is consistently challenged in many libraries across the U.S. for it’s themes of drug use, sex, homosexuality, child abuse and suicide according to the American Library Association.

Nina has just wrapped season 2 of The Vampire Diaries and is expected to start filming this soon, on her summer break from TVD. She also stars in The Killing Game with Kellan Lutz, due out later this year.

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.

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).

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.

The Vampire Diaries heads into werewolf territory officially tonight in episode 2.11 “By The Light Of The Moon” and we see that the Lockwood family curse is really that – a curse. Oh yeah, and there is hot cave action between Stefan and Katherine…
