Paul Wesley and Wife Torrey DeVitto to Divorce

Prepare your hearts. You are not going to want to hear this. Paul Wesley (Stefan) and his wife of two years, Torrey DeVitto, have decided to divorce, People magazine reports.

The Vampire Diaries heartthrob, 31, and his Pretty Little Liars actress wife, 29, first met way back in 2007 on the set of a film: Killer Movie. They wed in a private New York City ceremony in April 2011.

Paul and Torrey "have decided to amicably split. They will continue to remain good friends," Paul’s rep tells the magazine.

We are heartbroken at this news. First Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev break up, now this!? That’s it. True love is dead. We refuse to believe in romance or happiness ever again.

No word yet on the cause for the split, but we have a feeling that distance may have been a factor. Paul lives in Atlanta, Georgia full-time while filming TVD, while Torrey works in Los Angeles. Last year, the PLL beauty filmed a role on Paul’s show, and he told fans at a May 2012 convention that getting the chance to work with his wife was a welcome change.

Does Klaus become a Werewolf on The Originals????

If there’s something that’s been missing from Klaus’s (Joseph Morgan) repertoire on The Vampire Diaries, it’s him using that little “I can transform into a werewolf whenever I want” trick. Sure, he partied in lupine form after breaking the hybrid curse in the Season 2 finale, but we caught up with him post-transition — when Elijah (Daniel Gillies) found his brother naked in the woods.

Now that Klaus is the focus of his own show on The Originals, there might be more opportunity to see the wilder side of the hybrid. Declan de Barra, a writer on the new CW show, tweeted a very leading photo recently: two wolves snapping at each other. “Inspiration for #TheOriginals writers' room tomorrow...” he wrote.

OK, this doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with Klaus. Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) is a werewolf, after all. Wouldn’t it be kind of crazy if all the pregnancy hormones made her wolf out more often? Would the baby also transform if Hayley were to transition? (She’s going to experience a few full moons during her pregnancy, regardless.) We have so many werewolf baby science questions!

Is Matt Having a Threesome? The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Spoilers:

Warning! Potential Vampire Diaries spoilers from Season 5, Episode 1.

Things are certainly heating up in The Vampire Diaries Season 5! If you thought Matt Donovan (Zach Roerig) was just the quiet boy next door, well, his world travels have certainly changed him.

The TVD cast visited New Jersey for a fan convention over the weekend, and according to some of the audience’s tweets, Matt is having a wild time in Europe. During his panel, Zach said he’d already shot his first scene of Season 5 — one in which Matt was in bed with two ladies.

Though he didn’t name names, he did say one of them is Russian. If it's true, she could very well be Russian model Olga Fonda (Nikita), who’s been cast as the “emotional and beautiful” Nadia. In Prague, Nadia runs into Matt and Rebekah (Claire Holt) at a bar — and flirts with both. Apparently, things escalate from there!

Nadia also follows Matt home to Mystic Falls. With Bex headed to New Orleans to be with her family, could the mysterious, lonely Nadia take her place in Matt’s heart (or at least his bed)?

Ian Somerhalder Shows Some Muscles in Italy on July 4, 2013

While most of the Vampire Diaries stars spent Fourth of July weekend in the States, Ian Somerhalder was busy on an ad campaign in Lake Como, Italy. The blue-eyed hottie got intimate with model Ana Beatriz Barros, looking super sophisticated in a suit for Azzaro’s latest fragrance.

Of course, we adore Ian Somerhalder when he’s all dressed up, but we love him even more when he keeps it casual and cool.

Vampire Diaries Season 5: Damon’s Back



It’s officially official: The Vampire Diaries Season 5 is a go! Yesterday was the first day of filming, but Ian Somerhalder tweeted that Damon didn’t make his first appearance until today.

“He's back,” Ian wrote. “Shooting 1st scene of Season 5 right now.” Along with those delicious words was a photo of Damon’s daylight ring and Mystic Falls High School’s logo. And we thought we were done with that place!

Unfortunately, those were all the hints Ian was willing to give. Sigh.

Ian Somerhalder Tweets Script Pic



So close, and yet no cigar. Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) is back in Atlanta, filming The Vampire Diaries Season 5. He teased his Twitter followers with a (very limited) sneak peek at the script to Season 5, Episode 1.

*SPOILER* Season 5 ?Mystic Falls Hospital?

Stop reading, STAT, if you don’t want any Vampire Diaries Season 5 spoilers from TVLine!

Paging Dr. McDreamy! It looks like a medical professional is joining the cast of The Vampire Diaries. According to TVLine, a new male doc is scrubbing in at Mystic Falls Hospital.

Hm, no news on what this means for Meredith (Torrey DeVitto). Does Dr. Fell have her medical license back? Anyway, regardless of Meredith’s medical competion, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is one the who should be watching his back. Apparently the new MD knows all his secrets.

Unfortunately, TVLine didn’t really narrow it down. After all, Damon has a lot of secrets. He’s a vampire. He’s racked up countless murders. No one’s quite sure what happened to his pet crow. That Damon is one mysterious fellow!

New The Originals Tarot Card Released

In the backdoor pilot for the new CW show, Sophie and Jane-Anne conspired to capture the pregnant Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin). After Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) killed her sister, Sophie vowed to take him down — with the Originals’ help.

Over at our new favorite tarot card website, tarot-lovers.com, we learned a little more about the high priestess card, in case it gave us some clues about what’s in store for Sophie in Season 1 of The Originals.

We can see why Sophie is the high priestess — or la papessa. The card represents “[i]ntuition, wisdom, and secret knowledge.” Considering Sophie’s gift for detecting if someone is pregnant, that makes sense. Then there’s this: “Something remains yet to be revealed, but patience must be observed. Duality and mystery.” We can’t wait to find out what that is. Some of the key word associated with the high priestess are psychic and artistic ability.

Vamp Diaries Season 5 Started Filming Today!!


Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) arrived on set yesterday for some preliminary work, Today, he was excited to welcome his castmates back as well. “1st day of shooting season 5 of The Vampire Diaries- break a leg today everyone! It's HOT, no doubt welcome home to Mystic Falls people!” he tweeted. Gotta love that Atlanta weather!

“The day has arrived: it's TVDS5 day. First day of shooting -- mad love to all my Atlanta folk.  See you guys in a few days,” executive producer Julie Plec wrote on Twitter. Of course, she and her team of writers have been hard at work on the first TVD script for weeks.

Steven R. McQueen (Jeremy Gilbert) also tweeted about filming, and Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) shared a behind-the-scenes pic of Candice Accola (Caroline Forbes). “Back to School - first day of shooting The Vampire Diaries Season 5 w/ miss @CandiceAccola ! :),” wrote Nina along with the photo.

Back to school, indeed! Elena and Caroline are actually going to attend some classes when they head to college in Season 5. How do we know? Where else would they meet their creepy new professor? (Unless he frequents keggers like Professor Shane.)

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE TO ALL THE TVD CAST AND THE WRITERS AND JULIE PLEC ESPECIALLY!!!!!!

Vampire Diaries’ Twist That Could’ve Killed the Love Triangle

Damon and Elena
You could say The Vampire Diaries is known for a lot of things, but for right now we’ll just go with plot twist and an epic love triangle. Executive producer Julie Plec told TVLine how one of the show’s biggest surprises nearly ended the push and pull between Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Elena (Nina Dobrev), and Stefan (Paul Wesley).
In Season 2, a rejected Damon saw a moment to get back at Elena for telling him she’d always choose his brother: He decided to hurt hers. When Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) walked into Elena’s bedroom, Damon snapped his neck. Luckily, the little Gilbert was wearing his protective ring and came back to life... although Damon didn’t know that.
"As we said in Episode 3 that season, he admitted, no, he did not know,” says Julie. “When he acted out in that moment, it was to kill and to make a point and to sever his relationship [and] ties with these people forever, to make the loudest, angriest and most aggressive statement he could.”
Those ties remained bound, however, and Julie admits it’s partly because that’s what the audience wanted. She says, “The most fascinating thing that came out of that was the outpouring of people who were like, 'Poor Damon. It's Elena fault for rejecting him.' For years, we'd sit in the writers room and be like, 'People are morally bankrupt! [Laughs] Our fanbase is very forgiving — a lot more forgiving than we are.'”
And for fans that thought the will-they-won’t-they dance between Damon and Elena was excruciatingly slow, Julie admits she expected it to last even longer. “Kevin and I were convinced that Damon killing Jeremy would slow down the love triangle by about five seasons, if not kill it completely,” she says. “That was a bold choice that we wanted to take. We wanted Damon to still be a true villain."
To be fair, pretty much every character has done their fair share of murdering by now and even Rebekah (Claire Holt) didn’t stay upset for too long after her own brothers were killed — for keeps. Mystic Falls is a mad, mad world.

‘The Vampire Diaries’ gorgeous Ian Somerhalder certainly has been keeping busy over the summer hiatus from filming TVD. He’s been seen all over the globe. Ian has appeared in TVD convention locations, supported his mentor, acting coach Ivana Chubbuck in Russia and filmed the movie,  ’The Anomaly’ in London. He headed to Italy for a little rest and relaxation and spent a few much deserved lazy days in Sardinia. However, that didn’t last long and Ian set off for Como, Italy to do a photo shoot for designer Azzaro. He was spotted several times by the paparazzi during his stay.

The Vampire Diaries: Best Quotes From Caroline Forbes

Caroline in The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 14: “Down the Rabbit Hole”
For Mystic Falls’ resident blond busibody, it has been quite a journey! Caroline Forbes (Candice Accola) began as the overinvolved high school student, eager to know everyone else’s business, and to always get the last word in edgewise.
 
Now, after four seasons on The Vampire Diaries, she’s also a vampire who has had to contend with the death of her father, becoming a bloodsucker, and losing a boyfriend to the machinations of Klaus (Joseph Morgan). Through it all she remains sassy, smart, loving, dedicated to her friends, and absolutely hilarious. Let’s look at 10 of Caroline’s most quotable moments:
 
1) Love ‘em and leave ‘em — in style.
"Big problem, Matt. Because you took the next step all by yourself, you played the whole thing out in your head, and you decided to bail before even give it a shot. So this really great thing that we had? Don`t worry about losing it, because it`s already gone."
To Matt (Zach Roerig) in Season 1, Episode 12, “Unpleasantville.”
 
2) It’s cool to judge — provided you give good snark.
"This is much better than watching Damon visit cougar-town."
To Matt and Stefan (Paul Wesley) in Season 1, Episode 16, “There Goes the Neighborhood”
 
3) She can’t help that she’s got the best taste.
"So, I don’t get to choose the ring I have to wear the rest of my life?"
To Bonnie (Kat Graham) in Season 2, Episode 3, “Bad Moon Rising”
 
4) Somebody’s been paying attention.
"Why are you looking at him with your Serious Vampire look? … I mean, It’s different from your Worried Vampire look. Neither of which strays too far from your Hey, It’s Tuesday look."
To Stefan in Season 2, Episode 3, “Bad Moon Rising”


5) Pardon her delicate sensibilities.
"Oh my God. You`re not... going to get naked, are you?"
To Tyler (Michael Trevino) in Season 2, Episode 11, “By the Light of the Moon”
 
6) And you thought you had parental problems.
“Do you think my mom wants to kill me?”
To Matt in Season 2, Episode 21, “The Sun Also Rises”
 
7) She did learn from the best, after all.
"Vampire 101: Don`t wear your breakfast to school."
To Tyler in Season 3, Episode 6, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
 
8) No, but she makes a mean shortbread.
"Please tell me that is a recipe for witch cookies"
To Bonnie in Season 3, Episode 7, “Ghost World”
 
9) Tell us how you really feel.
"Quit hanging out with Rebekah, the evil blood slut."
To Tyler in Season 3, Episode 9, “Homecoming”
 
10.) Stefan does have a bit of the Hasselbeck about him.
"You are good at this, you know? You saved my vampire life, now you are saving hers [Elena]. You should write a book. Go on `The View.`"
To Stefan in Season 4, Episode 3, “The Rager”

Episode 1 of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals are done!

TVDoriginals-feature.jpg
Sets for The Vampire Diaries and The Originals are being built, the actors are wrapping up their summer movies and conventions, cameras sound like they’ll start rolling on July 11th, and now more good news has been announced by Julie Plec, executive producer for both The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, that the scripts for episode 1 of both shows have been completed. Vampires should be descending on Mystic Falls, aka Covington, GA, any day now!
According to Twitter tweets by Julie Plec, last week was really busy. On June 28th, they heard pitches for episode 5×04 of The Vampire Diaries and 1×03 and 1×04 of The Originals, and went through notes on 1×03 and act 1 and 2 of episode 1×02 of The Originals!

On June 30th, Julie tweeted that episodes 1 of The Vampire Diaries and The Tomorrow People are brilliant, thanks to writers Caroline Dries and Greg Berlanti, and episode 1 of The Originals will also be brilliant as soon as she and Michael Narducci finish it!

Julie on writing a pilot episode for a show you already wrote and aired a pilot for

YOU try writing one where the backstory covers 1000 years, an immortality spell, a hybrid curse, a vampire hunter, a miracle baby, a return to a city left 100 years ago after arriving 300 years ago having nothing to do with 1000 years ago.

Guess it’s not easy!

On July 1 she tweeted that she landed at the Atlanta airport to get ready for a 2-day meet with everybody to get ready to start filming. A few hours later she tweeted that The Originals 1×01 episode was finally completed. No word on what the title is, but it will probably be “Pilot” since it’s the premiere episode.

Vampire Diaries Season 5: How Will Katherine Change? (VIDEO)

MTV visited Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev (Elena) on the set of her new movie, Let's Be Cops. They asked how Katherine will change now that she's ingested the cure and has become human. In Nina's opinion, the former vampire won't be all that different. "She still has the same personality and the same traits and she'll still be as conniving and crazy and manipulative as she always was but she just won't have all the perks of being a vampire." We can't wait to see that! Julie Plec has teased, “Absolutely nothing is going to stop everyone from trying to kill her. That’s what puts her in a pickle that is going to have her seeking out protection from unlikely sources."

Vampire Diaries Season 5, Episode 1 Is Brilliant, Say Executive Producers

Is the Cast of Revenge Sexier Than The Vampire Diaries?
Summer vacation didn’t last long for The Vampire Diaries writers. They’ve been back at work a while now, getting the story down for the first few episodes of TVD’s Season 5.
Creator Kevin Williamson — who’s since left for Fox’s The Following — still keeps up with The CW show, and he tweeted that he’d finished the script for Season 5, Episode 1. “Hey guys, guess what fifth season opener I just read?  So awesome. Kudos to the brilliant @carolinedries,” he wrote.
Producer Caroline Dries is stepping in to take over the majority of the Vampire Diaries day-to-day duties as executive producer Julie Plec divides her time between TVD and its spin-off The Originals. Don’t ask us when she’ll sleep!
Julie tweeted that she’s equally impressed with what’s taking shape for Season 5. She tweeted, “Work status update: Eps 1 of TVD and TTP are brilliant, thanks to @carolinedries, @GBerlanti and team Klemmer/Rake.” TTP stands for The Tomorrow People, the other show she’s helping to bring to The CW in the fall.
We can only imagine what the Season 5 opener will bring, but we imagine it’s lots of sinister Silas pretending to be Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Caroline (Candice Accola) freaking out over how to decorate her dorm room.

Major TVD Season 5 Spoiler!! via @TVLine

Question: Any Vampire Diaries scoop? Will Tyler be back this season? Thanks! — Mary Kate

Ausiello: Tyler who? There’s nothing like a cute older college boy to make you temporarily forget the show’s MIA hybrid hunk. That’s what happens when Caroline meets Jesse, a hot, smart, confident and disarmingly sweet upperclassman at Whitmore. Among the other fresh faces in the season opener: smartypants Megan, who attends Mystic Falls High’s 1950s dance and attempts to charm the pants off Jeremy, and Eastern European beauty Nadia, who crosses paths with Matt and Rebekah at a Prague bar — and comes on to both of them?! — before delivering an ominous warning to Stefan about The Originals.

Vampire Diaries’ Nathaniel Buzolic Introduces His New Italian Girlfriend

Nathaniel Buzolic Introduces His New "Italian Girlfriend"
If you, like many of the other Vampire Diaries-obsessed fans of the world, were hoping that Nathaniel Buzolic was single and ready to mingle... think again.
While vacationing through Italy, the actor (who portrayed Original vampire Kol on the hit supernatural drama) took to Instagram to show off a special new woman in his life.

“Introducing my Italian girlfriend...” Nate tweeted, while posing alongside a beautiful brunette on a Vespa.

For a second there, our hearts almost stopped — until, that is, we realized his “girlfriend” wasn’t real!

We’ve got to hand it to Nate for pulling a fast one on us. He certainly has a good sense of humor! But does he also have an opening for a non-plastic lady in his life?

In an interview with Croatian news channel Dubrovnik Today, the actor (born in Australia to Croatian and German parents) revealed that he doesn’t have a girlfriend at the moment. “I tweeted once, and I still stick to this, that I would love to marry a Croatian girl. I want my children to speak Croatian first, and for them to do that, we need someone who speaks very good Croatian. [...] So, if there’s anyone looking for a serious relationship out there...”

Well, you heard the man! Do you speak Croatian? If you do, we don’t know what you’re waiting for!


The Originals’ Charles Michael Davis Is Shirtless at iHeartRadio Party

Torrance Coombs, Charles Michael Davis, and Robbie Amell
Looks like The Originals’ Marcel is more than just a pretty face and parade lover. Charles Michael Davis showed what’s underneath the vampire’s swagger when he went shirtless at the 2013 iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party over the weekend.
The CW’s Twitter sent out a photo of the actor and his abs, as he posed with fellow network stars Robbie Amell and Torrance Coombs. All three have brand new shows coming to the CW in the fall. Robbie will star in Julie Plec’s third show, The Tomorrow People, while Torrance will appear in Reign. Of course, we’ll see Charles as Klaus’s (Joseph Morgan) frenemy Marcel on The Originals.
Charles was tweeting from the event all weekend and even ran into a Vampire Diaries star. Arielle Kebbel (Lexi) was helping host. Maybe she gave him some vampire tips?

The Originals Behind-the-Scenes Photo: Phoebe Tonkin as Hayley

The Originals Behind-the-Scenes Photo of Phoebe Tonkin as Hayley
Since we love, love, love Phoebe Tonkin, we can’t wait to see what happens with Hayley on The Originals come fall. The new CW show’s Twitter account sent out a photo of the werewolf after a recent photo shoot, and it has our interest piqued.
It’s not that we were expecting the pregnant supernatural to be sporting a baby belly or anything, but we have scoured the photo for clues as to what may happen with Hayley on The Vampire Diaries spin-off. After all, she’s carrying Klaus’s (Joseph Morgan) child, and that means she will have a huge impact on the storyline and on New Orleans.
It’s possible Hayley will have to table her hunt for her werewolf origins now that she’s an expectant mother. However, we couldn’t help but notice Phoebe’s oversized jewelry. Maybe that triangle pendant is just decorative... or maybe it’s some sort of clue to her past?
Yeah, yeah. We might be reaching, but we’ve got so little to go on!

The Vampire Diaries star debuts a sultry new video for her latest single, "Power," exclusively on The Hollywood Reporter's Earshot blog. Watch below.

In the black-and-white video, Graham revels in her newfound inner power and snuggles up to the man that helped her find it. "The meaning behind 'Power' for me was to express that true power comes from within," Graham told Billboard. "Someone can come into your life and unlock the door to your potential. For me, that was love, but it can be anything to anyone … It's a song that starts off with the feeling like you're just one of many, and someone forcing you to see that in the end there's only you."

"Power" will be available on iTunes beginning July 23, following last year's "Put Your Graffiti on Me" and "Wanna Say" off her Against the Wall EP. Graham is currently working on her debut full-length with A&M Octone Records.
And as if singing and acting weren't keeping her busy enough, the 23-year-old fancies herself a young fashionista, as well.

The Allure Deskside: Vampire Diaries' Claire Holt

One of the best parts about my job as Allure's entertainment director is that I get to meet lots of talented people just before they get so famous that the paparazzi will be stalking them the next time they visit us at 4 Times Square. Last week, Aussie beauty Claire Holt, who stars as Rebekah Mikaelson, one of the original vampires on The Vampire Diaries, stopped by my office. She was in town for the official announcement that next fall, she'll get her own spin-off, called The Originals. After chatting about this exciting new chapter for Holt—while marveling at her flawless skin—I had to pry. Here's what I learned about her beauty secrets:
Beauty motto: "Less is more."
Beauty icon: "I really love Karlie Kloss. I think her face is so beautiful and stunning and fresh. I love her hair short."
Skin-care must haves: "I use Cetaphil to wash my face. It's really classic and clean. Then I like to use oils, like coconut oil, on my face. And I use a moisturizer with sunscreen in the morning."
Favorite products: "Right now I'm using Almay Grow N Glow and a M.A.C. brow pencil in Fling."
Go-to hairstyle tip: "I'm wearing this little piece in my bun now—it's called a donut. It really fills out your hair and is easy to use."
Worst beauty disaster: "The worst one is when you have powder on and it picks up in the flash of the camera. So there have been times I've had photos taken of me and my undereyes are bright white. And I think some of my style choices in my early years weren't that great. But you live and you learn."
Guilty pleasure: "Chocolate is really a problem. I'm trying to be healthy right now, so I'll eat carob chips, which are kind of like chocolate. But sometimes I'll have a midnight snack, and I'll wake up and I'll find chocolate in my bed."

Candice Accola Shows Her Support For Marriage Equality in the NOH8 Campaign

Candice Accola Poses For the NOH8 Campaign
Over the course of the last few years, the NOH8 Campaign has received an incredible amount of support from celebs of all kinds — from A-list actors to sports superstars to reality TV contestants.
In honor of the supreme court rejecting the Defense of Marriage Act earlier this week — a law that denied same-sex couples the benefits that married, heterosexual couples enjoy — our very own Candice Accola revisited the pic she shot for the campaign all the way back in 2010.

“Throwback Thursday,” the Vampire Diaries star tweeted on June 27. “#equalRights #loveIsLove #marriageEquality woo hoo!!!”

Of course, Candice isn’t the only TVD star to lend her face to the cause. Co-star and buddy Kat Graham has posed for the campaign, as has former guest star Kelly Hu.
