Every girl envies Nina Dobrev. The lucky and talented actress has locked lips with most of her super sexy costars: Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder and Taylor Kinney for starters. And while we enjoy viewing the results, Nina says it’s “awkward. There’s all these eyes on you.”

Stopping by MTV on Friday to talk to The Seven, Dobrev says that “pulling double duty” as both wholesome, girl-next-door Elena and evil, manipulative, man-eater Katherine is “fun and challenging. And it’s a lot of work.”

The Vampire Diaries is throwing one curve ball after another as viewers are left scratching their heads each week wondering what will happen next. Dobrev is in the center of all the action as both vampire Kat and human Elena and she is doing an admirable job keeping fans happy with both portrayals.

The Vampire Diaries SPOILERS: Who Is Going To Die?

Executive producers, Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec explained they wanted someone human to be part of the vampire storyline in a different and more complex plot adjacent to the fascinating love triangle between Damon, Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) and Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley).

“One of the things Julie and I both struggled with last year were the supporting characters,” Williamson said. “Everyone seemed to zero in on the love triangle and anyone involved in the supernatural world had a lot of story.

“We struggled to incorporate any human in the dark into the story. We want humans in the show, but we needed an element that would involve the other supporting characters.”

The question is: for how long will Caroline be able to survive as a vampire? Check out SPOILERS Below Read more »

The second season of The Vampire Diaries premiered Thursday night and wow! was it great!

The aptly titled episode “The Return” brought back so much more than just what we initally thought. Not only did Elena Gilbert’s doppleganger Katherine Pierce return (in crazy, manipulative vampire form with both parts played very well by Nina Dobrev) there was a return of the nasty, bitter, I-hate-humanity Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) and the dominance of the Elena/Stefan (Paul Wesley) romance.

The show picks up right where season one ended… if you haven’t seen it and want to remain in the dark – don’t go any farther!

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?

Nina Dobrev has one of the best jobs in television right now. The Vampire Diaries actress gets to play not only the sweet Elena Gilbert, but in the upcoming season, we will see more of her as the driven and maniacal vamp Katherine Pierce. Dobrev, who is the cover girl for the September issue of Saturday Night Magazine has this take on playing Elena and Katherine:

SNMag: What initially drew you to the show and the character of Elena?
Nina Dobrev: Well, I remember reading it and just being drawn to the fact that she was this average girl who was damaged in many ways and then I did some research and found out that I would probably end up having to play Katherine too, who is the complete opposite. This is one of the rarest, coolest opportunities in television, to play two people on the same medium.

SNMag: What can you tell us about Katherine coming back at the end of the finale last season?
ND: The only thing I can really tell you is that she’s back, and if I told you any more I’d have to kill you or bite you or something. But, yeah, she is back and you can just imagine now that she’s back in action things are just going to get more and more intense. It’s fun to see what she is going to do because she is just so spontaneous and crazy, but I’m just as in the dark as you are because they don’t tell us anything until we get there.

SNMag: Who do you have more fun playing – Elena or Katherine?
ND: I think like anything in life, whatever you’re deprived from or you don’t get to do as often, you end up enjoying more than anything else because it’s like a guilty pleasure. So, whenever I play Katherine, because I do it seldom, I have the most fun playing her.

As the promo for the new season is called ‘The Year of the Kat’ (check the super hot video here) she will get to don Katherine’s clothing more often – more fun for her!

The Vampire Diaries characters are going to have their histories told in new novels starting this fall. Stefan’s Diaries Vol 1: Origins is the first of a planned trilogy to hit the shelves in November. The books will focus on the civil war era, when Stefan Salvatore (played in the TV show by Paul Wesley) and his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder) became enthralled with Katherine Pierce (Nina Dobrev) the seductress that eventually made them vampires and turned them against each other.

The show is based on books written by LJ Smith and the timeline of the characters is very different. This will be a great way to bridge the gap that fans of both the original story and the TV show have.

Origins is due in bookstores November 2nd and the next book, Bloodlust follows on January 4, 2011. Original author Smith is working on a spin-off series focusing on the character Damon and the final book finishes up March 15, 2011.

If anyone doubted how hot the CW show The Vampire Diaries is, you only need to watch the 2010 Teen Choice Awards on Monday night to see it yourself. Stars Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder all took trophies home for their individual categories (Choice Actress and Actor, Choice Villian) and TVD took the coveted the surfboard for Choice TV Show Fantasy/Sci-Fi.

More photos below and don’t forget to watch the awards show 8/9/10 at 8pm EST on FOX.
