The long summer hiatus has begun but this feature on Paul Wesley from Mr Porter is a gorgeous distraction from counting down the hours until season 4 begins. Paul admits that Stefan’s taste is rubbing off on him a little, at least when it comes to boots. On the topic of acting, he is characteristically down to earth and open about his experiences, both good and bad.
“One year I had a really bad experience where I didn’t get a pilot that I really wanted and it psychologically damaged me. I had to retrain myself to have the confidence to go in and do what I do as an actor,” he continues. “I know there are always going to be ups and downs – I don’t care if you’re Johnny Depp or Ryan Gosling – you’re always aspiring.”
This feature also includes some really gorgeous pictures. Since it’s a fashion site, there’s also plenty of info about the clothes.

And so it ends. This show has always been about choice, and this finale brought that theme back to the forefront. Just like its characters, The Vampire Diaries is brave enough to make controversial choices and stick to them, despite knowing that some of the viewers at home will be screaming, no no no no no — did I mention no? The Departed didn’t have that surprise-around-every-corner frenzy of past finales, but it was damn fine television — a finale that brought us back to the core of our main character and showed us the two days in which her entire life changed.
SPOILERS! CONTINUE READING “IT’LL BE FINE.”

Sad times, Vampire Diaries fans: Tash, the incomparable force of nature behind I Heart TVD Radio has decided to bring her weekly show to an end. I’ve had the pleasure of being a guest co-host on Tash’s show a few times (The Last Day, the Season 2 round table, and this season’s Ordinary People) and you will be hard-pressed to find another TVD radio show with as smart, hilarious and big a fan hosting. If you’ve ever tuned in, you know Tash is one of a kind and I know a lot of TVD fans are going to miss the hell out of her and this show. Thank you, Tash, for everything.
Tonight I Heart TVD Radio will be celebrating its final show ever with a Season 3 finale round table, where myself and Crissy Calhoun, Lucia of Heroine TV, and Tiffany of I Heart Vampire Diaries and TV After Dark will join Tash and Nikki to talk about Thursday night’s season finale and the entire season as a whole.
Tune in for frank chat and lots of laughs – please be aware the show is for a mature audience – and help us send off Tash, Nikki, and I Heart TVD Radio with a bang. The show starts at 11pm ET/8pm PT.

Here’s another post-season finale interview with Julie Plec, this time from Zap2it. Spoilers like crazy for The Departed (EP322) and hints for season 4. Julie answers more questions about the love triangle, talks about where things are with Bonnie and sheds quite a bit more light on Tyler’s situation.
Zap2it: In Season 2, you guys told the story of Caroline’s transition to being a vampire so beautifully. How do you expect Elena’s transition to be different, so that it feels like a new story?
Plec: I think the differnce here is that you have two vampires, two brothers who love this girl equally, who are going to have significantly diverging opinions about how it should all go down and what the most effective way to be a vampire is. One of the things we’ve seen in the last three years, especially this season in the [1912] flashback, is that neither of them particularly took to vampire life all that well. Damon was bitter and pissed off about it for 50 years before he realized he could have fun, and Stefan had his own demons, his Ripperhood. They’re both going to have an opinion on how to help Elena. Stefan’s method was very successful for Caroline, and we’ll see him trying to teach Elena, where Damon is taking the opposite point of view. We’re going to have a lot of conflict attached to those opinions.
READ THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW AT ZAP2IT.

Few characters on The Vampire Diaries have gone through as many changes as Tyler Lockwood over the last three seasons, and Michael Trevino has had some really great moments to shine along the way.
The actor recently spoke with TV Guide about the many faces of Tyler, and what storyline he’d liked to have seen more of. Great big spoilers for The Departed (EP322)!
“I was really nonexistent in Season 1. Tyler was really one-note, a jerk, and an alpha male d—–bag — it was boring and I was frustrated,” he says. “To see how fast Tyler’s arc has progressed from Seasons 2 and 3 — when he first found out about the werewolf thing, then he turns into a werewolf, and in Season 3 he becomes the first successful hybrid, and his relationship on and off with Caroline — I like the way things went and that he grew up.”
