Vampire Diaries Season 5, Episode 2: Stefan’s Behind-the-Scenes Photo

Well, this will give us nightmares for a while! As if the thought of Stefan (Paul Wesley) continuously drowning over and over in The Vampire Diaries Season 5 (he’s currently locked in a safe at the bottom of the quarry) wasn’t disturbing enough, now we have photographic evidence!
Last night, director Joshua Butler tweeted a pic of Paul — who turned 31 yesterday — in Stefan’s watery grave. “Happy Birthday to the awesome @PaulWesley on the 1st shooting day of #TVD 5x02. Amazing actor and a real trooper,” he wrote.
Yeah, he is! And meanwhile, everyone else is having a grand old time. Executive producer Caroline Dries tells TV Guide, “"We realize that poor Stefan has been drowning, dying and coming back to life. But everyone else has been having a totally fun time.”
They certainly do a lot of underwater acting on this show! We wonder if Paul’s scuba skills from Season 3.

Ian Somerhalder's Vampire Diaries Season 5 Behind-the-Scenes Photo Revealed!

Ian Somerhalder’s Behind-the-Scenes Photo Revealed After 100,000 Likes

Vampire Diaries fans, rejoice! After an intense campaign on Facebook, an exclusive behind-the-scenes photo of Ian Somerhalder was revealed after 100,000 people clicked “like.” But let’s get real, Ian doesn’t take a bad photo, and his on-screen bad boy image of Damon Salvatore delights us with every smoulder he does, so it didn’t come as a surprise that this photo is drop-dead sexy.

Ian Somerhalder Will Not Play Christian Grey, Says E.L. James

Sorry Vampire Diaries fans, but it looks like we will have to settle for watching Ian Somerhalder’s sexy blue eyes on the small screen. Us Weekly reports that Ian is officially out of the running for the part of Christian Grey in the upcoming big screen adaptation of E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey.
Though Ian had been campaigning for the part, telling Ryan Seacrest it would be “a pretty incredibly thing and hopefully that could pan out,” it seems like he may not have been a contender at all. After On the Road actor Garrett Hedlund rejected the lead role, a source told Us that “E.L. James was at a Comic-Con party July 20 telling people the part won't go to Ian.”

When it comes to why, we have no idea. If you ask us, you’re not going to find a better smolder in all of Hollywood.

Oh well, at least we have countless fan-made Fifty Shades trailers to keep us occupied. And once October rolls around, it’s back to a weekly dose of Mr. Somerhalder. That’s good enough for us!

Dakota Johnson Cast In '50 Shades Of Grey' As Anastasia Steele

Dakota Johnson has been cast as Anastasia Steele in "50 Shades Of Grey," this according to author E L James who tweeted the news on Monday. Johnson was first rumored for the role in a report from TheWrap on Aug. 22.
Johnson, whose parents are Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, is best known for her work on the short-lived Fox sitcom "Ben & Kate." She also had memorable supporting roles in "The Social Network" and "The Five-Year Engagement." Her casting ends a months-long search for Anastasia, one which saw actresses like Emma Watson, Shailene Woodley, Alicia Vikander and Analeigh Tipton mentioned as possibilities for the coveted role. James' novel, the first in a trilogy, focuses on a young woman who finds herself involved in a sexual affair with the title character, Christian Grey. Charlie Hunnam was cast in that role on Monday as well.
Focus Features will release "50 Shades of Grey" on Aug. 1, 2014. Sam Taylor-Johnson is directing the project.
Deadline.com also reported on Johnson's casting, claiming an exclusive on the story despite the fact that James' tweet happened a full 11 minutes before the site published.

Charlie Hunnam Cast In '50 Shades Of Grey' As Christian Grey

Charlie Hunnam has been cast in "50 Shades of Grey" as Christian Grey, this according to author E L James who tweeted the news on Monday. An hour earlier, James had revealed that Dakota Johnson would star in the film as Anastasia Steele.
Hunnam was rumored for the "50 Shades" lead role back on Aug. 20, when the website Twitch Film reported that he was in talks for the part. Hunnam starred this summer in the Warner Bros. film "Pacific Rim" and also leads the hit FX series "Sons of Anarchy." At the time, Variety debunked the Hunnam report, noting that a "studio insider" said no casting decision had been made just yet -- a curious shoot-down if only because the original Twitch scoop did not state that Hunnam had the part. That's all academic now, however, as the 33-year-old has won the coveted role.
He'll star opposite Johnson, 23, in the film, which is based the first entry in James' erotic novel trilogy. Sam Taylor-Johnson will direct the film.
"50 Shades of Grey" is out in theaters on Aug. 1, 2014.
