The Vampire Diaries Trio Covers EW, Nearly Shuts Down Twitter
Forgive us for ripping off a previous CW marketing campaign, but: OMFG.
There really is no alternate reaction to the trio of covers Entertainment Weekly just released in honor of The Vampire Diaries, specifically stars Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. All three are featured across the main cover and two collector's items, and nary a shirt is to be seen...
Copies of the issue go on sale Friday, while inside producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson dish on the challenge of writing for a show with dueling, passionate fan bases.
"When we want Stefan and Elena to have a moment together, how can we do that and not have our Delena fans outraged?” Plec asks.
We've got an idea, Julie: just take Damon's shirt off. That will satisfy all viewers.
Nina Dobrev Wants to Be a Drug Addict!
Nina Dobrev may star on The Vampire Diaries, but she portrays a relatively normal character. Elena Gilbert is a mere mortal, after all.
Hence why the young star wants to expand her resume to include more movies, telling the latest issue of Nylon “I want to become a different person" and adding:
"I want to be a punk or a sweetheart or a drug addict! There are so many things to explore... Sometimes they’ll be like, ‘She’s not plain enough.’ Or ‘She’s not edgy enough.’ That frustrates me. I feel like a blank canvas, and I wish people would be a little more open-minded.”
Dobrev is on the verge of major stardom, despite her small screen status, thanks to the wild popularity of her CW show and her relationship with Ian Somerhalder. But the actress says she wants to maintain a bit of anonymity overall.
“I can’t say I’m not interested in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and their family," Dobrev says. "But it’s something you fight really hard to preserve and keep private.”
Nina Dobrev "Freaking Out" Over Ian Somerhalder Proposal: Report
Their characters shared their first real kiss on The Vampire Diaries last week, but a new report suggests things have taken a turn for the worse in real life for Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev.
According to In Touch Weekly, the actor proposed to his long-time girlfriend over the holidays, but the response was not exactly what Somerhalder has been dreaming about.
“She is freaking out, saying, ‘I don’t want to marry him!’” a friend claims. “She thinks she’s too young, and with all the offers she’s getting, she’s poised to be a big star... They were having fun, and now there’s a lot of tension.”
Call us crazy, but if Dobrev doesn't want to wake up alongside Somerhalder every morning for the rest of her life, we have a feeling a few (million) other women might.
UPDATE: Ian's rep has shot down this rumor, saying no proposal ever took place.

A pair of red beauties walked the red carpet at the Emmy Awards last night.
Though neither took home any hardware, both Nina Dobrev and Lea Michele looked gorgeous at the event, as The Vampire Diaries star posed for photographers without date Ian Somerhalder by her side; and the Glee actress stared intensely into the camera.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev Gush Over Relationship
Both are involved in heated Fashion Face-Offs at the moment - versus Britt Robertson HERE, and Wilson Bethel HERE - but Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev have taken a few moments to talk openly about their relationship for the first time.
The Vampire Diaries co-stars were outed as a couple this summer, photographed in Paris together, and they each gushed about the other on Saturday night at The CW premiere party in Burbank, CA.
"She truly enjoys life," Somerhalder told Us Weekly of Dobrev, who dates his on-scren brother, Stefan, on the aforementioned (AWESOME!) CW drama. "Her desire to experience and appreciate everything around her, and chuckle and enjoy it, is great."
Fashion Face-Off, Round 2: Nina Dobrev vs. Britt Robertson

Now, The Secret Circle star is out for revenge. Both she and The Vampire Diaries beauty walked the red carpet at Saturday night's CW premiere party in Burbank. Each actress looked pretty, but which looked the prettiest? You decide:
Vampire Diaries Stars Pose for Rolling Stone, Prepare for Butt Kicking
The Twilight Saga doesn't actually conclude until November 2012, but Ian Somerhalder doesn't care. He's already making a pitch to fans of that franchise.
“The whole Twilight thing is about to be over," The Vampire Diaries stars says in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, when asked about his show's competition. "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.”
For more hot shots of this gorgeous cast, visit the official Rolling Stone website.
The season will include a blood-thirsty Stefan, as previewed in this trailer, along with a closer relationship between Elena and Damon, Caroline and Tyler.
How does the cast get along overall? It's "a total frickin' lovefest," Somerhalder said, and he should know: the actor is dating Dobrev.
