Nina can’t pass up the opportunity to play with a stranger’s Dalmatian pup as she walks the streets of NYC.

While running around New York City andfilming a talk show appearance yesterday, TVDcutie Nina Dobrev squeezed in a moment to fawn over an adorable Dalmatian. Although Nina didn’t know the dog or its owner, neither seemed to mind. What is it about TVD that attracts so many animal lovers to its cast? We can imagine Ian Somerhalder doing the same thing... especially since he has such a similar hat!

Julie Plec: The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Will Be "The Year of the Originals"

Back in 2009, Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, and Paul Wesley posed for a smokin' hot photo shoot in TV Guide's Fall television preview. The photos were phenomenal of course, but there are always a few that never make it onto the pages of the magazine. Fortunately for you, we have their outtakes right here — and we must say, they're just as amazing as the ones that made the cut!

Now that we know a bit more about Klaus — and that The Vampire Diaries was renewed for Season 3 — our minds are reeling. Will the Originals still be around come fall? We’re obvi kind of hoping at least one of them will be gone forever (Team Bonnie all the way!), but we have a feeling sending the most powerful vampire on the planet to his final resting place might not be so simple.

TVD producer Julie Plec chatted with Zap2Itabout the fate of the oldest vampires ever, and while she didn’t give a straight yes-or-no, we think the future looks pretty bright for the OVs. (Although ‘bright’ probably isn’t the right word — we still don’t know the whole truth about this sun and moon curse business, but we do think they’ll still be wreaking havoc on Mystic Falls!)

“[Whether to include the Originals in season 3] is a decision that gets made when we break story for Season 3, which happens after I get back from Mexico,” Plec laughs. She also tells TVLineSeason 3 is “the year of the Originals.” Ooooh.

But, when it comes to this show, nothing is ever for sure. For example, Plec dishes that the Originals’ complicated mythology took a U-turn when one uber-talented actor rocked his role, and she decided to do some quick re-writing to keep him around. “We didn’t have the true mythology of how to kill an original worked out and then we introduced Elijah and freakin’ Dan Gillies walks in that door in the big old haunted house in the suit and he has the accent and everything about him is so great, and we were like ‘Well! We can’t make him easy to kill,’” Plec says. But she also didn’t want the other characters “to look stupid for not being able to get rid of him,” so — presto, chango! — producers decided then and there to make the Originals immortal. “It’s honestly because of Dan and the work that he did,” she gushes.

One decision that was much simpler: The brilliant idea to make Elijah and Klaus brothers. Brilly, we say! And although Plec says the estranged siblings won’t come face-to-face on tonight’s episode, fans better be prepared for when they do meet again.

“The show, at its core, is about family,” Plec says. “It’s about the love of family. It was interesting to play in the 1400s, obviously, [and] there’s a different hierarchy going on when we meet again in the modern day. There will be a very different dynamic between the two I think.”

This is one family reunion we definitely don’t want to miss!

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev to Attend White House Correspondents' Dinner

When you take two undeniably hot co-stars and add in the kind of electricity that we see between Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, it’s no wonder that everyone wants to see them together IRL. Hot on the heels of their time together at Coachella, they attended the premiere of Last Night at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 25, 2011. Although they didn’t walk the red carpet together, we’re going to go ahead and say it’s no coincidence that they were both there.

We know Ian Somerhalder (Damon) is a good Samaritan, so we weren’t surprised to learn the Louisiana native was cordially invited to — and will be attending — Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Our lucky vamp will not only bump shoulders with top government officials, but a host of other celebrity guests as well. And by the by, rumor has it Nina Dobrev (Elena) will be by his side. (Um, hello. Way to fuel those rumors, guys!)

According to The Washington Post, Ian was extended the prestigious invite because of his involvement with The Impact Arts and Film Fund. The Impact Fund just so happens to be hosting a pre-party for the National Journal on Friday, and the National Journal just so happened to hand-pick Ian to attend (a.k.a. “host” him) — obviously because of his awesome environmental efforts. (Okay, and it probably doesn’t hurt that National Journal’s Connie Witherspoon is a huge TVD fan, according to thePost).

Love Bites: Recap of The Vampire Diaries Season 2, Episode 20, “The Last Day”

Air Date: April 28, 2011

With the possibility of the sacrifice ritual looming, Stefan and Elena spend a romantic day together as if it could be their last. Damon, on the other hand, is determined to save Elena, and his actions hurt his relationship with Stefan. Meanwhile, Tyler decides to return to Mystic Falls after getting a worrisome phone call.

There’s something frighteningly prophetic about the title of tonight’s episode of The Vampire Diaries. Think about it: Elena almost died; ditto for Damon, Stefan, Tyler, Mrs. Lockwood,Caroline, Matt, and Aunt Jenna. Actually it would be easier to name who didn’t almost bite the big one tonight. But that’s just one of the hot topics we’re debating. Here are 10 other you-must-be-kidding talking points about “The Last Day.”

10. Damon force-feeds Elena blood.
We feared sulking Damon might force himself upon Elena one day. Little did we know it would be like this. After the bad boy Salvatore realizes that Elena has committed to sacrificing herself to Klaus, he bites open a vein, grabs her head, and presses his wrist against her mouth. “You’re so dead-set on dying. At least this way I know you’ll come back,” Damon says. Of course he’s overlooking the major flaw in his plan — which Elijah doesn’t hesitate to point out. “She’ll never forgive you,” the O.V. (original vampire) warns. “And never, for a vampire, is a very long time.”

9. The brothers brawl. Again.
Crushing on your brother’s girl is one thing. Forcing her to drink from your vein is another. When Stefan hears the commotion up in Damon’s room he rushes in to stop his big bro. But it’s too late. The Salvatore blood is in Elena’s system. And the rumble is on. Fists fly. Furniture is broken. The brothers fight as if to the death, stopping only when Damon, who has been knocked to the floor, stabs Stefan in the gut.

8. Tyler Lockwood returns.
Too bad the warlock Klaus hired tricked Tyler into doing so. How? Klaus’s manwitch compelled Mrs. Lockwood to call her son, begging him to return. “I’m in the hospital,” she says, then she turned to the witch. “Why’d I say that?” she asks. “Because you had a terrible fall,” he replies as he telepathically throws her over the banister. Tyler knows none of this. Just like he has no clue that he’s about to become one of the main ingredients in a how-to-lift-a-curse stew. Welcome home, Ty.

We want to believe that Matt’s over his vampire issues, but things look fishy.

7. Stefan and Elena go for a hike.
In an episode as dramatic as this, we should let this go. But we can’t. After Elena learns that she’s going to wake up undead, Stefan takes her for a walk into the woods to give her a chance to discuss how she feels about vampirism. To celebrate her last day as a human he wants to show her something special. That something turns out to be the beautiful waterfalls after which Mystic Falls is no doubt named. Really Stefan? In a nature-loving town like Mystic Falls there is no way this 17-year-old did not know those falls existed. Just saying.

6. Tyler and Caroline bond.
Apparently nothing heals old wounds like sharing the experience of getting jumped in a hospital parking lot and waking up chained to a cellar wall. That’s what happens to Caroline and Ty just as he’s preparing to slip back out of town. Klaus plans to sacrifice them both during his spell-breaking ritual.

5. Matt comes to the rescue.
Just when we thought Blondie’s busboy might tap out of their relationship, he started to truly care again. When Caroline didn’t come back to meet him on his break, Matt grabbed a gun and followed Damon into the woods, figuring the vampire had something to do with her disappearance. He figured wrong. But got lucky anyway. Klaus’s warlock attacked Damon as the vampire was about to free Tyler and Caroline from the cellar. And just as the warlock was about to deal a death blow, Matt stepped out of the shadows and shot him. Go, Matt.

Unless Klaus and Damon are suddenly drinking buddies, it looks like Alaric is no longer possessed. Yay! Now if only they could figure out what to do to save Elena...

4. Doc Martin’s long lost daughter makes an appearance.
Remember the second witch in the Klaus posse? Turns out that’s Lucas’ sister, a.k.a. Doc Martin’s kidnapped daughter. Also turns out she kind of likes hanging with the O.V. crew. When Elena tells her that Luka and his dad were looking for her, the witch says, “They were wasting their time. I wasn’t lost.”

3. Stefan just gives Elena to Klaus.
Yes, it was a teary, romantic moment full of heart-tugging I-love-yous. But we pray to the TV-writing powers that be that there’s a loopety-loop to this plan — some secret mission behind Stefan’s wimpy submission. Otherwise we’ll have to give Stefan the Super-Wuss Crown for just closing his eyes and allowing the love of his life to walk over to Klaus without putting up a fight.

2. Klaus turns Aunt Jenna.
Oh, yeah. We mean that kind of turned. Apparently the evilest of evil originals had a backup plan for his backup plan. And when Damon freed Caroline and managed to render himself useless in the sacrificial ritual at the same time (more on that in a sec), Klaus decided to make a new vampire. And just to be evil about it, he chose Aunt Jenna. As if she hasn’t been through enough already. Say it with us now, “Poor, poor Aunt Jenna.”

1. Damon is doomed.
And not just because he forced himself on Elena. Remember how Tyler started turning minutes after Damon freed him and the vampire had to fight the werewolf off? Well, their wrestling match wasn’t so innocent and one of those times that Ty snapped at D, he actually made contact. And we all know what a werewolf bite does to a vampire.

Vanessa Hudgens: "I'm Really Happy!"

Still don't want to talk about Josh, V?

In a recent interview, Vanessa Hudgens skirted questions about rumored BF Josh Hutcherson by talking about how great she's feeling right now.  But that's not all!

“I’ve definitely got a wicked side. I have what I call ’sailor mouth’. I can get very gangster at times. I used to be very timid. Now I’m my own person. I don’t feel pressure to look a certain way," she continued.

Gangster?  Vanessa, we love you, but we don't know many gangsters who have appeared in a series of Disney movies...

how stars look amazing all summer! Hot temps and humid days could mean frizzy tresses and melting makeup for most people, but leave it to these celebs to know which products to use to beat the heat! Find out what their must-haves are and even score a few expert beauty tips from their makeup artists!

WATERPROOF MAKEUP

"Selena has beautiful skin and likes to have a slight tan in the summer. She doesn't need a lot of coverage, so a lightweight foundation works best. You have to keep product to a minimum in the warmer part of the year. However, layering is key to making it last all day. If you want your eyeshadow to stay put in the humidity, apply a thin layer of a matte powder shadow to your lids, then take one of the CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlastsand tap in on top. Your shadow will become practically waterproof and stay gorgeous all day. Also, it goes without saying water resistant formulas always work best, like with theCoverGirl LashBlast mascaras."—Selena Gomez’s CoverGirl Celebrity Makeup Artist Karan Mitchell

LIP BALM

"During the summer, keep everything very minimal. Instead of wearing foundation, do a tinted moisturizer instead. Wear waterproof mascara, and stick to blush and lip gloss. Not even lip gloss — lip balm!"—Victoria Justice

DRINK TONS OF WATER

“Drink lots and lots of water because it can get really, really hot out. You want to make sure your skin doesn’t get any breakouts or dry areas. It’s also really good for your hair, especially if you have color-treated hair.”—Ariana Grande

BABY SUNSCREEN

“My skin is so sensitive, so the best beauty trick I've learned is to use baby sunscreen. You also have to have waterproof mascara — that's a must. You can just throw it on and you're done. And some kind of wave spray for your hair — it's going to naturally happen anyway, so why not take the opportunity to enhance that natural beachy thing and make it a look.”
—Jennifer Stone

CREAM BLUSH

“In the summer, I don’t like to wear a lot of foundation or powder because I feel like it melts off. I’m a huge fan of cream blushes because I feel like it gives you a doe-y look. I like Tarte and Stila— they make really good ones. As far as hair goes, I let my hair air-dry and it’s sort of wavy, so I just make sure to put some spray in it. There’s Bumble and bumble. Surf Spray, which is good. Then there’s a John Frieda wave spray that protects against frizz too, so that it will dry naturally wavy.”— Lucy Hale

LIP BALM WITH SPF 15

"I know it is hard to believe, but you can burn your lips. A lip balm with SPF 15 is in every single one of my bags."—Kim Kardashian

TINTED MOISTURIZER

“I prefer tinted moisturizer to foundation, and I put it on with a foundation brush, so it doesn’t cake it on too thick. It’s great for summer.”—Debby Ryan

CLINIQUE SUN SPF 30 BODY CREAM

“I like Clinique Sun SPF 30 Body Cream. It’s really gentle for sensitive skin and oil-free. And it doesn't leave any greasy residue!”—Whitney Port

LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER

“If you can avoid your blow dryer and straightener in the summer, that's a plus. Go natural and don’t fight your hair. Use leave-in conditioner — you can apply it in the morning and reapply mid-day. Or you can use other moisturizers during the day to keep your hair shiny and soft. Also, wearing your hair up and piled on top of your head is a very cute look for the summer. It shows your face and neck and beautiful tan skin. Putting your hair up will also keep it protected.”—Rihanna's Hairstylist Ursula Stephen

SMITH'S ROSEBUD SALVE

“I love Smith’s Rosebud Salve. I did this trick last summer, when I was on vacation: I used it to prime my lashes before curling. It was like a natural mascara. It made the lashes hold the curl and look shiny. I use it for everything! And I love L’Oréal Elnett hairspray . It’s very light and holds whatever hairstyle you want.”—Beyoncé

FACE POWDER

"When it's hot out, I like to wear more face powder and I'm really good at washing my makeup off. That's my trick — wash off your makeup before you go to bed. Also, use lotion before you go to bed. I don't like the sun and I'm not in it very often."
—Taylor Momsen

BLOTTING PAPER

“My secret to keeping my makeup looking great when it's hot out is blotting paper. It takes moisture off your face without adding layers of powder.”—AnnaSophia Robb

nina dobrev is on the cover of seventeen's special celeb fitness issue! Pick up the special celeb fitness issue of Seventeen, on newsstands now, and get to know the Vampire Diaries star. Inside, Nina talks about her yoga obsession, training with the cast, and what she really thinks about super-buff dudes.

YOGA-OBSESSED

“I do a lot of yoga. I practice yoga three or four times a week. It’s an escape for me.”

GYM-FREE

“Over Christmas, I had a break, and I didn’t go to the gym once, but I was in better shape than I am now, because for the first week, I was snowboarding every single day. I went skating, I went in my friend’s pool, and I did everything you can possibly think of that was wintery and sporty, but I didn’t feel like I was working out even once. I was just having fun.”

NO CALORIE COUNTING

“People who are confident, happy, enthusiastic, vivacious and vibrant are the ones other people are generally attracted to. You’re drawn to those kinds of people—you’re not drawn to the person in the corner of the room counting calories with her shoulders slumped over.”

TOUGH CHICKS GET BRUISED

“I’ve reached a point where I’m comfortable in my own skin, and I do what I need to do, to feel good, but I’m built the way I am. The dancer’s feet, the bruises on my legs, they’re not going to go away. I think real girls have bruises. Tough chicks get bruised. They get dirty. And they have fun. It’s just a part of life!”

DIVE IN!

“I don’t really wear stringy bikinis much. I wear a lot of thicker, sportier stuff, because I’ll play volleyball on the beach and go surfing and swimming. I’m not the lounge-in-a-chair-in-next-to-nothing-for-tan-lines kind of girl.”

IF SHE WEREN’T AN ACTRESS…

“I could be a yoga instructor. I’m not certified, but I could do it. Once I did a class where the instructor didn’t show up, and I just went to the front and did it, and everyone followed. So I’ve done it before, and I love it.”
