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 upcoming season of The Vampire Diaries promises loads of plot twists and turns – let’s face it, it’s become known for shocking the viewer with unpredicted journeys.

One of last season’s carry-over storyline – Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) reverting to his ‘blood addiction’ thanks to Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) evil ways – has Wesley very excited to explore this side of Stefan, according to costar Nina Dobrev.

“Paul is very happy that Stefan is now going to the dark side,” Dobrev told MTV at Comic-Con.

“He’s really excited about it, and I think it’s going to be great for him. He’s a very strong actor, so it’s awesome.”

Nina drops a small hint about Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and his ability to be the hero with Stefan out of the way.

“He’s as heroic as Damon can be,” she said. “Damon will always have a rough, kind of tough side to him, so take that as you will.”

“He has redeeming qualities but he’s still damaged goods in many ways, as we all are. We’ve all got baggage.”

The Vampire Diaries returns to The CW on Thursday, September 15th.

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.

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.
