  • Nina Dobrev, Ruby Rose, and Deepika Padukone in Talks to Join Vin Diesel in Action Spy Film

    Nina Dobrev, former star of The Vampire Diaries, Ruby Rose of Orange is the New Black, and Bollywood star Deepika Padukone are all in talks to join Vin Diesel in XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, which is set to begin filming later this month.

    The original film, which also starred Vin Diesel, was perceived as an anti-James Bond film. It followed Xander Cage, an extreme athlete forced to become a government agent. A second film followed, but didn’t star Diesel.

    Nina Dobrev–if in fact she signs on to the film–will play the role of a “witty and sarcastic techie,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. Ruby Rose will play a sniper. Deepika Padukone will play Cage’s former love interest as well as a huntress.

    Following six seasons of The Vampire Diaries, Nina Dobrev starred in a horror comedy called The Final Girls. She recently wrapped filming of Crash Pad alongside Christina Applegate and Domhnall Gleeson, and is set to star in an indie comedy called Arrivals, opposite Maisie Williams and Asa Butterfield.

    Ruby Rose will appear in the upcoming Resident Evil 6, and recently wrapped filming the sequel to Keanu Reeves’ film John Wick.

    What’s your take on the upcoming XXX: The Return of Xander Cage? With Vin Diesel, Nina Dobrev, Ruby Rose, and Deepika Padukone, it will certainly feature a star-studded cast.

    Nina Dobrev is due for some happiness. After announcing her departure from The Vampire Diaries and enduring long-term speculation that it was because of ex-boyfriend and co-star Ian Somerhalder, she is probably ready to start fresh.

    Dearest TVD Family, I've just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries. I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party. I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there's still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I'll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever. There's more to come before we wrap this up, and I promise you'll get to hear all about my experiences over the next month as we approach the season finale (I have given an exclusive interview for the June issue of SELF Magazine that I am excited for you to see!), but until then I invite you to hop on the roller coaster ride that is Elena Gilbert's life and join me as I celebrate her and prepare to say goodbye to her — and to my work family — as I move on to the next chapter of my life. I want to share this goodbye with all of you (this weekend's pictures were just the beginning). You, the wonderful fandom who gave more love, support and passion than anyone could have ever imagined seven years ago, when a young Degrassi girl from Canada showed up in LA to audition for 'that Twilight TV show.' 😉 I love you all. Fasten your seatbelts. If you think you know what's coming, you don't. Love, Nina

    Part of her post stated, “I always knew I wanted Elena’s story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime.”

    However, Nina Dobrev wanted to make it clear that this wasn’t the case with her departure.

    Nina Dobrev told E! last month, “I’ve said this before, that we didn’t break up because anything bad happened or because there wasn’t love or friendship.”

    She added, “I love him and the friendship is still strong and I think he’s great and I care about him. And that didn’t change. Yes, we’re professional and that’s fine. We were friends long before we dated and we still are now.”

    Nina Dobrev also insists that she is happy for Somerhalder and his new wife, Nikki Reed.

    She said, “When I heard about the wedding, I thought it was beautiful.”

    She added, “They look happy and I am happy, and so I don’t see why there should be a problem with that…Of course, we’re on a teen drama show, everyone’s going to look for drama…I just ignore it.”

    What do you think about Nina Dobrev’s new love?

  • Nina Dobrev Caused Grief And Heartbreak With “Vampire Diaries” Exit

    Nina Dobrev has had a successful run on The Vampire Diaries, but the young actress says she’s ready to move on and see what else she’s capable of. The show’s creator, Julie Plec, says that she tried various tactics to get Dobrev to stick around, but in the end the choice was Dobrev’s to make, and she chose to move on. Fans are devastated, but Plec says they aren’t the only ones.

    “She finally was like, ‘No, I signed up for six years. I’ve done my six years. I’m ready to move on and spread my wings. It was a beautiful shock, but there’s grief attached to that. There is a profound attachment to this character and to this show,” Plec told People.

    Dobrev’s final episode will air on May 14, and while Plec says the change will be monumental, it’s also a challenge for the writers…in a good way.

    “She was just looking forward to moving on with no hard feelings and no drama. This is taking the personal out of it completely, from a storytelling point of view it’s a great challenge. As writers in the room we’re finding it very rejuvenating. Just on a strictly creative exercise level.”

    Plec says she chose Instagram to break the news to fans that Dobrev was leaving because she didn’t want to blindside them, like so many shows have chosen to do before them.

    “I’m looking at Vampire Diaries, which is now six years deep, and it’s the main character. A lot of our audience — they’re still teenagers. I started looking at it from a fan point of view and being like, ‘We need to tell them that it’s happening before it happens. You can’t just end the season and do what we’re going to do to this character.’”

  • Nikki Reed Reportedly Marries ‘The Vampire Diaries’ Star Ian Somerhalder

    Nikki Reed Reportedly Marries ‘The Vampire Diaries’ Star Ian Somerhalder

    Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder of The Vampire Diaries are reportedly married.

    According to E! Online, the couple took their vows in Santa Monica on Sunday.

    In the photos making the rounds, Nikki Reed, 26, is pictured wearing a long-sleeve, backless gown along with her groom, who is seen sporting a white suit.

    Earlier that morning, Ian Somerhalder tweeted, “most beautiful morning ever…”

    Nikki Reed and her new husband reportedly celebrated their union with close family and friends at an outdoor ceremony.

    “Nikki couldn’t be more excited and thrilled to be marrying Ian,” an insider told Us Weekly. “They’re both so in love and so happy.”

    The couple became engaged in January after dating for a mere six months. However, it wasn’t a total surprise for those who know them well.

    “They were friends before, the groundwork had been laid before,” a source previously told Us. “They had always been attracted to each other, but always in another relationship.”

    Ian Somerhalder, who made his first walk down the aisle with Nikki Reed, dated his TVD costar Nina Dobrev for three years until their split in May 2013. Nikki Reed was previously married to American Idol season 10 alum Paul McDonald until they divorced in March 2014.

    A few weeks after the engagement news, Nikki Reed gushed to E! News of her fiancé, “He’s the best. He’s the most thoughtful human being on the planet.”

  • Nina Dobrev Shocks Fans With ‘Vampire Diaries’ Goodbye

    Nina Dobrev shocked a good number of her fans when she announced recently she is leaving The Vampire Diaries. Even though she will appear on the show throughout season six, she won’t be returning next season.

    In a goodbye to her Vampire Diaries cast, crew, and fans, Nina Dobrev indicated that she always felt Elena Gilbert’s story was meant for a six-season run.

    “I always knew I wanted Elena’s story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there’s still so much more to come before the season finale in May,” Nina Dobrev wrote in the following Instagram post that features a photo of her with show runner Julie Plec.

    Hollywood Life reports that Nina Dobrev is leaving The Vampire Diaries for a reason that goes way beyond her feelings about Elena Gilbert. In fact, they say she’s leaving because of Ian Somerhalder. The two were an item for quite some time, and he has since moved on with Twilight star Nikki Reed. The two are engaged, in fact, and actively planning their wedding.

    “The reason Nina quit The Vampire Diaries is because she finds it too awkward to be on set with Ian now that they’ve split. She’s known since June that she was going to quit the show and that the 6th season would be her last. Especially when Nikki [Reed] and Ian got engaged in December–that solidified her decision. It’s not about Nina pursuing bigger roles. It’s just because she can’t stand to work on set with Ian every day,” a source tells them.

    Do you think Nina Dobrev is telling the truth about her reason for leaving The Vampire Diaries or do you think it really does have something to do with Ian Somerhalder?

    Either way, fans are going to miss Elena. Will The Vampire Diaries make it without Nina Dobrev?

  • Nina Dobrev Posts Heartfelt Farewell On Instagram

    Nina Dobrev has announced that she will be leaving The Vampire Diaries at the end of the season, and has subsequently shocked her fans.

    While Nina Dobrev said she is moving on to the next exciting chapter in her life, it’s still hard for some to say goodbye to her character, Elena.

    Nina Dobrev revealed in a heartfelt goodbye via Instagram that she always knew Elena would only be around for six seasons.

    However, some are speculating, with due cause, that Nina Dobrev might just want to be away from Ian Somerhalder.

    Could they be right?

    We may never know the truth, but Nina Dobrev sounds pretty upbeat about moving on.

    What do you think is the real reason for Nina Dobrev’s departure from Vampire Diaries?

  • Nina Dobrev: Ian Somerhalder the Reason She Quit “Vampire Diaries’?

    Nina Dobrev announced just days ago that she was leaving The Vampire Diaries. At the time she said she wanted Elena Gilbert to have just six seasons on the show, however Hollywood Life claims a source has told them the real reason she’s leaving. It seems that reason is Ian Somerhalder.

    “The reason Nina quit The Vampire Diaries is because she finds it too awkward to be on set with Ian now that they’ve split. She’s known since June that she was going to quit the show and that the 6th season would be her last. Especially when Nikki [Reed] and Ian got engaged in December–that solidified her decision. It’s not about Nina pursuing bigger roles. It’s just because she can’t stand to work on set with Ian every day,” the source explains.

    “I always knew I wanted Elena’s story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime,” Dobrev captioned a photo of herself with show runner Julie Plec. “I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there’s still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I’ll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever.

    A photo posted by Nina Dobrev (@ninadobrev) on

    The source did mention that Nikki Reed was only on the Vampire Diaries set once–and not often as was reported when the two started dating. Nikki Reed apparently never made Nina Dobrev uncomfortable. She simply feels awkward being around Ian Somerhalder instead.

    “Everyone on set is really worried that the show can’t go on without Nina,” the source adds.

    How do you feel about The Vampire Diaries going on sans Nina Dobrev? So many fans believe Nina Dobrev is The Vampire Diaries, and without her things simply won’t be the same.

    It will be interesting to learn how the show fares once Nina is officially gone.

  • Michael Trevino, Nina Dobrev: Both Stars Are Leaving ‘The Vampire Diaries’

    Michael Trevino and Nina Dobrev are both officially leaving The Vampire Diaries. Rumors have swirled for months now about Nina Dobrev’s purported departure, and that is now official. Michael Trevino’s departure, however, has likely taken fans by far more surprise.

    According to a report from E! News, showrunner Julie Plec has confirmed that both actors are leaving the show.

    Michael Trevino has played the role of Tyler Lockwood on The Vampire Diaries since its premiere season.

    “Michael has been a beloved member of the Vampire Diaries family since day one,” she said. “Even though he’s also going to be out in the world exploring new opportunities, we look forward to finding creative ways to make sure he and his character Tyler Lockwood always remain a part of the show.”

    There were subtle hints about both Nina Dobrev and Michael Trevino leaving The Vampire Diaries, in the form of Instagram posts, but the hints were soon taken down, leaving many to think they were jokes. Those hints included captioned photos reading, “in honor of Nina Dobrev and Michael Trevino,” that were taken during a recent lake vacation.

    Nina Dobrev detailed that lake vacation in a goodbye post she shared on Instagram.

    Here’s how she captioned a photo of herself with Julie Plec:

    “Dearest TVD Family,

    I’ve just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries.

Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I’ll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever.

    There’s more to come before we wrap this up, and I promise you’ll get to hear all about my experiences over the next month as we approach the season finale (I have given an exclusive interview for the June issue of SELF Magazine that I am excited for you to see!), but until then I invite you to hop on the roller coaster ride that is Elena Gilbert’s life and join me as I celebrate her and prepare to say goodbye to her — and to my work family — as I move on to the next chapter of my life.

    “Saying goodbye to Nina is both bittersweet and beautiful,” Julie Plec said in a statement. “After six-plus years together, the entire cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries has reached a level of closeness that I don’t think any of us ever expected. Nina is excited to spread her wings, get some rest, travel the world and also take it by storm, and we support her a thousand-fold. We will miss Nina and the four hundred characters she played, but we look forward to the insane and exciting challenge of continuing to tell stories of our Salvatore Brothers and our much-loved and gifted ensemble.”

    Are you a Vampire Diaries fan? What’s your take on Michael Trevino and Nina Dobrev leaving the show?

    And do you think Nina Dobrev’s departure has anything to do with Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed’s upcoming nuptials?

  • Nikki Reed Divorced, Living With Ian Somerhalder

    Twilight star Nikki Reed is officially divorced from Paul McDonald, her husband of more than three years. The actress reportedly lives with The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder already. The two have reportedly been dating for quite some time now, causing a stir on set since Somerhalder was previously in a long term relationship with his costar Nina Dobrev.

    Reed wound up with a lot from her marriage to the former American Idol star. She got to keep two homes, three cars, and the couple’s dog, Enzo. Paul McDonald got to keep the couple’s Nashville home. Neither will receive any spousal support from the other.

    Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald announced their split back in March.

    “After much consideration, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are ending their marriage. They have been living separately for the past six months due to work obligations…They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together,” their statement read.

    Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed spent Christmas together with family members and close friends in Sun Valley, Idaho. He reportedly gushed over a new song she recorded recently, too. Do you think Nikki’s relationship with Ian will become a more permanent one now that she and Paul McDonald are divorced? Might there be a new, more exciting announcement coming when they return home to their shared abode in Atlanta?

  • Nina Dobrev Dating ‘Vampire Diaries’ Co-Star Chris Wood For Real or Just a Publicity Stunt?

    Nina Dobrev Dating ‘Vampire Diaries’ Co-Star Chris Wood For Real or Just a Publicity Stunt?

    Nina Dobrev is reportedly casually dating her Vampire Diaries co-star Chris Wood, although some reports claim it’s just a publicity stunt to garner ratings for the floundering show.

    According to Hollywood Life, Dobrev, 25, and Wood, who plays Kai on VD, have reportedly been dating, although it’s not serious at this point.

    “They are great friends who have hooked up on the recent times they have been out together but they are not currently looking to start a relationship. They are both very cool about it and it has not ruined working with each other or caused any issues,” a source told the magazine.

    Fans seem to be thrilled that Dobrev has found someone to hang out with, especially following the break-up with another co-star, Ian Somerhalder, after a three-year relationship. They have taken to Twitter to share their excitement, dubbing the new couple “WoodBrev.”

    One has to worry if this new development between Dobrev and Wood, 26, is causing even more tension on the set. There have already been reports that Dobrev has been upset whenever Somerhalder’s new love, Nikki Reed, shows up on set, which has led to feuding between the former couple.

    Things got downright nasty once Somerhalder moved Nikki Reed down to Atlanta, Georgia, with him where The Vampire Diaries is filmed.

    Dobrev, in turn, started dating Ian Somerhalder’s good friend Mark Foster of Foster the People fame.

    A photo posted by Chris Wood (@christophrwood) on

    Inquisitr reported that Dobrev and Somerhalder may be using the media in perpetuating drama to draw publicity for The Vampire Diaries, which is currently in Season Six and losing momentum in the ratings.

    What do you all think? For real or publicity stunt?

  • Nina Dobrev Excited About Big Investment, Thanksgiving Getaway

    Nina Dobrev is very excited about a huge investment she recently made. The Vampire Diaries star just bought a home in Los Angeles, and she can’t wait to host both family members and friends there. On the heels of her Thanksgiving vacation–she was thrilled to visit family, because she seldom gets home to Canada–she gushed about her recent purchase.

    “One of my favorite things to do is host a girls night where my girlfriends and I can get together and come together in the kitchen, test out new recipes and just enjoy each others company,” she said. “I also love throwing a good game night with running charades and all! I’m especially excited to host these dinner and game nights once I’ve finished decorating my home, and after attending the new Restoration Hardware RH Atlanta Gallery store opening I have so many ideas.”

    Atlanta’s new Restoration Hardware is the perfect place to get ideas for anyone’s new home. In fact, it boasts 70,000 square feet and six stories of stylish ‘furniture vignettes, a rooftop garden and conservatory, and endless options for creating a chic abode.’ Can you imagine what Nina Dobrev’s new home will look like if she’s furnishing it with Restoration Hardware furniture and design pieces? It will likely be gorgeous.

    So what does one do when they take Thanksgiving vacation to Canada–a place where Thanksgiving was celebrated earlier in the year? Nina Dobrev told E! News a while back exactly how she planned to spend her time away.

    “It’s going to be a great time filled with days on the slopes snowboarding with my brother and spending nights around the fireplace with my family hopefully making lots of s’mores,” she said.

    Hollywood Life reports that the new man in Nina’s life–Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford–spent Thanksgiving with her, too.

    Now that Nina Dobrev is back, she has two jobs to concentrate on. The first–her role as Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries, and the second–decorating her new investment, will keep her busy both day and night.

    Which job do you suppose will require more of Nina’s creativity? And how will Chace Crawford fit in to her busy schedule?

  • Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder Breakup Fallout: Nikki Reed Banned From ‘Vampire Diaries’ Set?

    Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder’s breakup fallout has reportedly led to Somerhalder’s new girlfriend, Nikki Reed, being banned from the Vampire Diaries set.

    Breakups are never pretty, but the Dobrev-Somerhalder breakup could affect the future of the popular series.

    Hollywood Life reports that producers are worried that Dobrev may leave The Vampire Diaries after Season 6, alleging Dobrev is having trouble dealing with the on-set PDA between her ex and Reed.

    Dobrev is allegedly more than a little annoyed by Reed’s presence on set while she’s trying to work. Fans seem to totally relate to Dobrev’s distress at having her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend there while filming emotional scenes.

    “Ian and Nikki’s relationship is causing a lot of drama, to the point where the producers have asked Ian not to bring Nikki to set when Nina is there because they are very worried about losing her. They worry that the show would fall apart without her,” a source told Hollywood Life.

    Sources also say producers are bending over backward to keep Dobrev happy on set, because they’re afraid she’ll give up and call it quits after season 6.

    “It’s unlikely that Nina would try to get out of her contract in the middle of this season, but it’s something producers are worried about. It would be very costly for Nina to get out of her contract now, but things like that have happened before, so everyone’s walking on eggshells with her. Not to mention the fact that Nina hasn’t signed anything for anything beyond season six,” a source told the website.

    Apparently, Somerhalder is so taken with Reed that he is completely blind to how much his new relationship is hurting Dobrev.

    Naturally, the producers — who tried to keep Dobrev and Somerhalder from dating in the first place — are now said to be upset by the entire situation, thinking that it could cause irreparable harm for the future of The Vampire Diaries if Dobrev walks out.

    “This is exactly why producers actually tried to forbid Nina and Ian from dating,” said the source. “They were worried something like this would happen. Ian and Nina tried to hide their relationship for so long because they were very strictly forbidden from that, but obviously they did go there. Exactly what they promised wouldn’t happen, has happened, and it’s getting in the way of their work.”

  • Nina Dobrev Makes the Ice Bucket Challenge Hot

    Nina Dobrev can make anything she does look hot — even dumping a bucket-load of ice water over her head.

    The Vampire Diaries star is just the latest in a world gone ice-bucket crazy to say yes to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

    You all know the premise. If you accept the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge — a rather brilliant social media-driven fundraiser that brings awareness to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease — you either dump a bucket of ice water over your head within 24 hours of being challenged, or you donate $100 to ALS, or both. After the challenge is completed, you post the video of the ice dumping to social media, nominating three others to take the challenge, and so on.

    Dobrev took the challenge standing in the sun, on a boat, wearing little more than a skimpy black bikini.

    Told you — Hot.

    You wanna stop reading and start watching, right?

    OK, here are two videos Dobrev posted on her Instagram page:

    In the first post, she captions the video: “Thank you to everyone for challenging me to do the #icebucketchallenge to raise awareness for #ALS and I nominate @juleshough @riawnacapri @derekhough And on behalf of @eli_miz I nominate @caradelevingne”

    She nominated friends Riawna Capri, and Julianne and Derek Hough.

    In the second post, she captions the video: “Challenge accepted. If you’re gonna go in , you gotta go ALLLLLLL in. #ALS”

    Derek quickly responded to Dobrev’s challenge, posting his video on his Instagram, with the caption: “#ALS #icebucketchallenge Had to improvise in my hotel room . I accept @markballas @mariamenounos @ninadobrev and apparently @mistyonpointe challenged me so I guess I better do another one . I’ll have my nominees later.”

  • Nina Dobrev’s ‘Let’s Be Cops’ Premiere: TVD Cast Shows Up in Support Sans Ian Somerhalder

    Nina Dobrev celebrated the opening of her new comedy, Let’s Be Cops, in the company of her The Vampire Diaries co-stars. One conspicuously missing co-star was Dobrev’s ex, Ian Somerhalder.

    Michael Trevino, who plays Tyler in the series, captured the moment last week on Instagram with the caption, “About to see our girl @ninadobrev new movie Let’s Be Cops! TVD came to represent! #TVD ”

    Zach Roerig (Matt) and Michael Malarkey (Enzo) also joined Trevino to support Dobrev in her new endeavor.

    According to some reports, Somerhalder decided to skip the premiere to avoid unnecessary awkwardness on her big day.

    Back in July, rumors swirled that Somerhalder was not too thrilled that Dobrev would appear topless in the film and thought she shouldn’t have accepted the role.

    Somerhalder was reportedly furious about the topless scene, but since he and Dobrev were still broken up at the time, he couldn’t say anything, according to CelebDirtyLaundry.

    Somerhalder is currently dating Nikki Reed and is apparently thrilled with his new relationship.

    “I couldn’t be happier if I tried,” Somerhalder told E! News at the 2014 Creative Arts Emmys.

    Friends couldn’t agree more.

    “[Nikki and Ian are] smitten with each other and love spending time together,” an insider said.

    A few weeks ago, Somerhalder posted a photo of himself with his new horse and thanked Reed for snapping the shot: “Proud new dad… What amazing creatures they are. Wow. His name is Eagle. Thank you @iamnikkireed for snapping this special moment, with our big baby boy.”

    Let’s Be Cops was released in theaters on Aug. 13.

  • Nina Dobrev Wants To Play A Superhero Someday

    Nina Dobrev is pretty comfy in her role as Elena Gilbert (and Katherine Pierce) in the smash CW series, The Vampire Diaries.

    However, the blood-sucking beauty has her eyes on the future and that’s what she was talking about this past week at Comic-Con in San Diego. Nina Dobrev said that she would love to play a superhero sometime.

    She said she absolutely loves the comic book movie genre and loves the more modern take on the comic book movie.

    “I can’t wait to be a Catwoman or a Mystique or something, some day,” Nina Dobrev said.

    “I feel like superhero movies used to be a bit more action-y. There wasn’t much depth to them,” Nina Dobrev added. “[Studios are] figuring out that people want to see smart movies with smart characters that have a soul. They’re taking steps in the right direction. It’s making me enjoy the movies more.”

    That is so true. I must agree with Nina Dobrev on this one. This new crop are certainly not our parent’s superhero movies.

    Nina Dobrev may have to wait for a while to take on a superhero role, though. Her plate is pretty full with starring in The Vampire Diaries and keeping up with the drama entangling her and her ex-boyfriend, Ian Somerhalder.

    “Those huge movies take six to eight months to shoot, and that’s how long it takes to shoot a season of The Vampire Diaries.” Nina Dobrev said. “There’s no way I could do that until I finished the show.”

    “But I’m a big fan of the genre, which is why I want to do it,” she added. “I would love, love to do something like that.”

    Who knows? Perhaps Nina Dobrev could fill Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman suit for the next Batman? It could happen.

  • Nina Dobrev And Ex: Awkward At Comic-Con?

    Nina Dobrev And Ex: Awkward At Comic-Con?

    Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder seem to be moving on with their separate lives. Nina Dobrev was spotted getting close with Ben McKenzie at a Comic-Con party in San Diego on Saturday.

    The two shared an embrace that was…well…not like you’d hug your brother. The rumor mill has been running full speed since that moment and it didn’t quiet things down when Nina Dobrev left Float Bar at the Hard Rock Hotel with McKenzie and the two shared a taxi to an unknown destination.

    However, McKenzie isn’t the only boy that Nina Dobrev has been getting close to. Rumor has it that the The Vampire Diaries star has been spotted with Derek Theler.

    But don’t worry, getting over her years-long relationship isn’t a one-way street and Nina Dobrev isn’t the only one moving on.

    Her amiable ex and The Vampire Diaries co-star, Ian Somerhalder, has been seeing Twilight beauty Nikki Reed. I feel I might be sensing a pattern…

    Things did seem to get just a bit awkward this week at Comic-Con when Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder had to appear together to promote Vampire Diaries season six.

    The problem is Nikki Reed was a mutual friend of Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder. They even went on double dates with Nikki and her husband before her divorce.

    An insider claims that, “At the WB booth, during The Vampire Diaries cast signing, Nina [Dobrev] and Ian [Somerhalder] were separated by Paul Wesley,”

    Judging from the video, it was more than just Paul Wesley, but they were definitely separated.

    This source went on to say, “It was awkward, all the other cast were sitting way closer to each other.” the source said, adding, “As soon as the signing ended, Nina was whisked away solo.”

    Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have been broken up for over 18 months, but the recent news about Somerhalder dating their mutual friend Nikki Reed may have Nina Dobrev feeling a little betrayed by both.

    If things are a little awkward between Nina Dobrev and her ex, we can only hope that it doesn’t show on screen!

  • Nina Dobrev Cryptic, Ian Somerhalder Tweets for Nikki Reed

    Nina Dobrev is posting cryptic inspirational messages on WhoSay while her ex-boyfriend Ian Somerhalder is busy tweeting on behalf of rumored new love interest Nikki Reed. Has Ian simply jumped from one vampire to another? Nina, of course, costars with him on The Vampire Diaries while Reed played a vampire in The Twilight Saga series of films.

    Even if there’s no truth to it, Ian and Nikki are definitely making headlines, as they are seen out and about in a variety of places–together.

    Here’s Nina Dobev’s first WhoSay post. Is it in any way coincidental?

    She also shared the following message.

    According to E!, a source recently confirmed that Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are in fact an item. Is this leaving Nina Dobrev feeling lonely or like an outcast?

    Meanwhile Ian Somerhalder tweeted on behalf of Nikki Reed, in hopes of helping to find a new home for a dog.

    So what’s your take on the Nikki Reed-Ian Somerhalder-Nina Dobrev loveless triangle? Are the above posts on Nina’s page just coincidental or somehow related to Ian’s latest fling?

    Nina and Ian may be through, but the two actually had a pact–even following their breakup, and that pact was to always be truthful to one another. It sort of seems like Nina Dobrev is hurt that Ian Somerhalder didn’t honor that pact since he hasn’t come out and told her directly that he’s dating Nikki Reed. Nikki and her ex-boyfriend and Nina and Ian all have a past together. They did a lot of double dating, which compounds the uncomfortable nature of the situation.

    Of course the grown up thing to do would be for everyone to stop posting innuendoes on social media and simply initiate a face to face conversation. Now how completely civilized might that be?

    Do you think there’s a chance that will happen?

    And you know–you really can’t blame Ian Somerhalder for trying to help Nikki Reed find a home for that precious dog. Maybe Nina should take him?

  • Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder Dating

    Twilight franchise actress Nikki Reed is reported to be unironically dating The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder, according to US Magazine.

    The two were spotted jogging together in Los Angeles on Saturday, and then again at the Studio City Farmer’s Market on Sunday. Somerhalder kept his arms around Reed, repeatedly kissing her on the cheek. The couple was also seen at dinner last week in the San Fernando Valley, and at Kiwami in Studio City on Tuesday, July 15.

    Aside from a mutually deep understanding of vampiric acting technique, Reed and Somerhalder have run in the same circles. Somerhalder dated Reed’s Twilight costar Ashley Greene in 2009, and Reed is close friends with Somerhalder’s The Vampire Diaries costar and ex Nina Dobrev. Both Dobrev and Reed dated Dancing With the Stars’ Derek Hough, who was Reed’s first fling after divorcing American Idol alum Paul McDonald, after two years of marriage.

    Nicole Houston “Nikki” Reed, 26, began her career co-writing and starring in Catherine Hardwicke’s 2003 drama Thirteen. The script was written in six days, and was a semi-autobiographical take on Reed’s life. Though critically acclaimed, the film courted a bit of controversy due to its portrayal of drug and alcohol abuse, underage sexual behavior and self-harm.

    Here is the trailer:

    Ian Joseph Somerhalder, 35, got his start in modelling at the age of ten, and went into acting at 17. Aside from his role as Damon Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries, he is best known for playing Boone Carlyle on ABC’s cult hit Lost.

    Vampire enthusiasts appear to be pleased with the match:

  • Jenna Ushkowitz and Michael Trevino End Their 3-Year Relationship

    Glee and The Vampire Diaries’ fans can finally unite with disappointment, because Jenna Ushkowitz and Michael Trevino have broken up.

    In 2011, Ushkowitz and Trevino’s relationship became public when they walked the SAG awards’ red carpet together. During a 2011 interview on, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, he asked her “if she has a thing for werewolves,” a clear reference to Trevino’s character Tyler Lockwood who was a werewolf-vampire hybrid (now a human) on The Vampire Diaries. Ushkowitz didn’t reveal any details on their romance; she simply told Seacrest that they were “very close.”

    Since then, Ushkowitz and Trevino remained private about their relationship. However, she occasionally posted pictures of the couple on her Instagram.

    The couple also did a photo-shoot in 2011, with photographer Tyler Shields, which highlighted their passion for one another. Emma Roberts was also included in the shoot.

    Trevino showed his support for Ushkowitz by promoting her various projects, including her book Choosing Glee, via tweets.

    On May 19, while attending The Normal Heart premiere, a videographer  asked Ushkowitz if she was still dating Trevino. She responded: “No, we’re not together anymore. She also signed autographs during that interaction. The videographer apologized for bringing it up, but then Ushkowitz said, “That’s okay, no worries,” with a smile. Finally she added, “We’re wonderful.”

    US Weekly reports that an insider said their relationship ended a while ago. But in January, Ushkowitz posted an old red carpet photo of the couple with the caption, “Happy birthday to my best friend, the one who has taught me how to laugh and love more and more everyday. Congrats on another year around the sun.”

    In April, rumors surfaced that Trevino was dating his The Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev. The rumors started after Dobrev posted a picture of them bowling.


    Nothing about the picture suggested they were a pair, but fans and gossip sites quickly jumped to that conclusion. Now with Trevino and Ushkowitz’s breakup confirmed, rumors of his romance with Dobrev may intensify, though they’ll likely prove false.

  • Nina Dobrev Keeps Her Distance from Ian Somerhalder at PaleyFest

    All eyes were on Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder at PaleyFest 2014.

    The Vampire Diaries co-stars were involved in an offscreen romance for several years. They went public with their relationship in June 2011 and announced their split in May 2013.

    If fans were hoping for a red carpet shot of Dobrev and Somerhalder together at PaleyFest, they were disappointed. The two kept their distance, appearing in larger group shots, but never with just each other.

    Somerhalder attended PaleyFest last weekend as part of the Lost 10th anniversary panel. He was seen arm in arm with another ex-girlfriend, Maggie Grace, both on and off the red carpet, sparking rumors that the two may rekindle their former romance.

    Somerhalder and Grace dated in 2006, after their step-sibling Lost characters were killed off.

    Dobrev and Somerhalder have starred on The Vampire Diaries since its inception in 2009. In January 2014 they won the People’s Choice Award for “Favorite Onscreen Chemistry.”

    When the two took the stage to accept the award, they joked about the history of their relationship:

    “We started dating in real life,” Somerhalder said after summarizing their onscreen romance.

    “And then we broke up in real life,” Dobrev added.

    “And yet our characters are still dating on the show,” Somerhalder continued.

    “It’s a good thing it’s not awkward!” Dobrev quipped.

    PaleyFest is an annual event named for William S. Paley, founder of CBS and the Paley Center for Media. The two week festival includes episodes or highlights of featured television shows as well as panel discussions and question-and-answer sessions with the casts and crews.


    Besides The Vampire Diaries and Lost, the PaleyFest 2014 line up includes How I Met Your Mother, Mad Men, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Mindy Project, Orange is the New Black, Parks and Recreation, and Pretty Little Liars among others.

  • Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev Win Peoples Choice

    Ian Somerhalder and costar Nina Dobrev won the Peoples Choice Award for “favorite on-screen chemistry” at the Peoples Choice Awards on Wednesday–despite the fact that they broke up in real life back in May. The two star opposite each other on the CW’s hit TV show The Vampire Diaries, as Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert. What followed was a rather witty and very clever banter.

    “Thank you, wow, this is crazy,” said Somerhalder said upon receiving the award. “Can you believe that this is almost five years in the making?”

    “You’re right, yeah,” Nina Dobrev replied. “But you know, I think what’s crazier though Ian, is at the beginning of the show is Elena actually hated Damon.”

    “You were hooking up with my brother [Stefan, played by Paul Wesley],” Ina Somerhalder reminded her.

    “Well, you killed my brother,” she reminded him.

    “Then eventually she fell in love with me,” he said.

    “And then we started dating on the show,” she said.

    “Then we started dating in real life,” Somerhalder said.

    “And then we broke up in real life,” she added.

    “And yet our characters are still dating on the show,” he reminded her.

    “It’s a good thing it’s not awkward,” Dobrev said, laughing rather nervously.

    After the two glanced at one another sideways, Ian Somerhalder gave Nina Dobrev a kiss on the cheek, once again thanked the audience and all the fans who voted for them, and both of them exited the stage.

    Do you think this was planned? Were Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev warned ahead of time that they had won this award and that they really needed to make an awkward situation into a funny one? Who knows? The two reportedly work together well on the show and have remained friendly outside of work as well. Somerhalder even tweeted happy birthday wishes to Nina later that same evening for her Thursday birthday.

    Whether the thank you speech was scripted or not, Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev pulled it off flawlessly. Maybe at next year’s Peoples Choice Awards they’ll be given an award for the best and most awkward acceptance speech.
