Womaniser and Mr. Bad Guy Damon Salvatore, played by Ian Somerhalder, quickly won the fans’ love with his passionate and controversial nature. And while he began the series as a ruthless psychopath and killer, the vampire decided to reconsider some of his life's priorities by the end.
Damon has become one of the show's most complex and multifaceted characters. The older Salvatore brother seems emotionally distant, which has become his defense mechanism, developed as a result of his long history of betrayal and loss. This detachment helps him deal with his pain and loneliness.
It wasn't until Season 6 that fans were able to see the roots of Damon's behavior – and it had to do with his mother, Lily.

The Vampire Diaries is one of CW’s most iconic teen dramas ever created. As the name suggests, this series follows the life of a young girl whose life is turned upside down when two vampire brothers come back into their hometown, bringing a slew of supernatural creatures with them. This CW show became highly successful, spawning two sequel series, The Originals and Legacies, and giving its talented cast international recognition. Stars Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, and Kat Graham are more famous for their roles in this series than any of their other work in media, even though The Vampire Diaries ended in 2017 and lasted only eight seasons.

Fans of The Vampire Diaries have long been divided over which Salvatore brother Elena (Nina Dobrev) should have ended up with. Even in the seven years since the series finale, the turmoil between Stelena and Delena shippers has never really gone away. It’s simply been lying somewhat dormant, waiting for a catalyst to reignite their passions. And that catalyst has come in the form of a simple tweet from series creator and showrunner Julie Plec.

After a strike-related delay, the Environmental Media Association held its 33rd annual awards gala on Saturday, recognizing Hollywood productions for their sustainability efforts both onscreen and behind the scenes.

Awards season kicks into overdrive on the first weekend of the year with the return of the Golden Globes. The 81st telecast has a new broadcast partner (CBS), a new host (Jo Koy), new catering (Nobu) and a new social calendar accompanying it. For years, the Golden Globes were followed by a crush of studio and network bashes inside the show’s headquarters at the Beverly Hilton, making it a favorite of countless party-hopping revelers. But pandemic era cutbacks and studio consolidation upended the festivities — gone is the Warner Bros. and InStyle soiree while HBO scaled back under new corporate parent Warner Bros. Discovery and will be hosting something on Emmy weekend — though all is not lost. This year’s parties are spread across the weekend and at various venues across the city.

It’s been four years since Ian Somerhalder’s last acting role, but that doesn’t mean he’ll no longer be around film screenings.
The Vampire Diaries actor attended the premiere of the documentary Common Ground. He posed for the cameras at the event in a simple white dress shirt, black pants and a Common Ground ballcap while holding a cardboard sign with the words “Common Ground” written on it.
Asked about his decision to retire from acting, he told E! News that he did so to “raise [his] kids, build [his] companies and get these films launched.
The films Somerhalder spoke of are Common Ground and its prequel, Kiss the Ground, in which Somerhalder serves as executive producer. Both films center around saving the climate and providing a better environment to enable healthy farming and appease world hunger. While the documentaries are similar in foundation, Common Ground will focus more...

Read more about Kelly Clarkson’s transformation…
When she walked out to greet her fans, Kelly did so with wispy bangs that were so long they extended past her eyes! She paired her new blonde style with a black off-the-shoulder top and a black and gold skirt.
Kelly had a busy episode of the show, talking with guests Leslie Jones and Ian Somerhalder. She even belted out a cover of Stevie Wonder‘s “Superstition” with a teacher who went viral for her incredible voice.

Independent film Common Ground seeks to explain how climate change can be combated directly through the current farm system.
Narrated by stars like Jason Momoa, Laura Dern, Rosario Dawson, Donald Glover, Ian Somerhalder, and Woody Harrelson, Common Ground is a letter to the world’s children that explains how soil may be the answer to a healthier planet.
Directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, Common Ground continues the conversation that Kiss the Ground started. The film points out that the average person believes that “someone” or “something” will pull the world off the cliff of irrevocable change or that the solution is too complex or expensive to consider.
“There’s always the mentality that somebody else is coming or something else is coming that will solve the big problems,” Josh Tickell told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “This problem is a distributed problem, and it’s going to take a distributed solution.

Back in 2009, Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson teamed with Julie Plec to develop a series of novels by author L.J. Smith into the television series The Vampire Diaries. After running for eight seasons, The Vampire Diaries wrapped up in 2017 – and if there’s ever an attempt to reboot or revive the show, don’t expect to see Paul Wesley reprise the role of Stefan Salvatore in the new episodes. Speaking with InStyle, Wesley (who played Stefan for the entire 171 episode run) said such a project would get a “hard pass” from him.
Wesley went on to say, “I would never do another vampire anything, period, let alone Vampire Diaries.” When asked if he misses anything about playing Stefan, he answered, “I don’t really miss anything about playing him, and I don’t mean that in a [negative way]. Eight years is a long time, and I’m so glad to put that to rest.

If a new project in The Vampire Diaries universe ever comes to pass, we can count Paul Wesley out.
Wesley played Stefan Salvatore for eight seasons on the hit CW drama but said he'd "hard pass" any potential comeback.
"I would never do another vampire anything, period, let alone Vampire Diaries," the actor explained to InStyle earlier this month.
"I don't really miss anything about playing him, and I don't mean that in a [negative way]," he added.
"Eight years is a long time, and I'm so glad to put that to rest. Eight seasons."
If you watch The Vampire Diaries online, you know that Wesley's arc as Stefan Salvatore culminated with the character perishing to save the town.
The series' final scene showed Stefan reuniting with his brother, Damon (Ian Somerhalder), in the afterlife.
Wesley was fond of his time on the show, but after eight seasons, he isn't interested in a comeback.

Paul Wesley won’t be heading back to Mystic Falls anytime soon — or ever. In fact, the idea of a “Vampire Diaries” reboot is a “hard pass,” the actor said in an interview with InStyle.
What’s more, his brooding blood-sucker days are behind him entirely. “I would never do another vampire anything, period, let alone ‘Vampire Diaries,'” he said.
Currently leading “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” as a young James Tiberius Kirk, the character originated and made legendary TV icon by William Shatner, Wesley starred as Stefan Salvatore on “The Vampire Diaries” for eight seasons between 2009 to 2017. And he’s absolutely ready to lay the character to rest.
“I don’t really miss anything about playing him, and I don’t mean that in a [negative way],” Wesley explained. “Eight years is a long time, and I’m so glad to put that to rest. Eight seasons.”

Paul Wesley may have captured hearts on the hit teen drama The Vampire Diaries, but he admits that he doesn’t miss playing the younger Salvatore brother.
During a recent interview with InStyle, published online Thursday, the actor opened up about his role as Stefan, a sweet yet brooding vampire, and why he “would never do another vampire anything, period, let alone Vampire Diaries.”
Wesley starred opposite Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder on the series that ran from 2009 to 2017. And while the show helped launch the actor into fame, he said he doesn’t “really miss anything about playing him [Stefan].”

A documentary extolling the virtues of regenerative agriculture, “Common Ground” gets its world premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, where it is also claiming a Human/Nature Award.
What is regenerative agriculture, you ask? It’s farming that forgoes tillage and chemicals in favor of cover crops and planned grazing – essentially, the practices of Indigenous peoples before the arrival of colonizers.
Industrialization post WWII popularized the use of machinery, pesticides and herbicides in agriculture as, per the film, suppliers of tanks and chemical weapons looked to pivot to a steadier business model. It goes on to explain the agrichemical industry’s overwhelming pull on politicians and researchers at land-grant universities.
Per Senator Cory Booker (D-n.J.), the public is paying multiple times: in subsidies, food assistance and Medicaid costs. Farm Bill provisions mandate what to grow. Farmers incur massive debt purchasing pesticides and the seeds genetically modified to withstand them.

The ABC drama Lost kept fans and critics hooked for six seasons. It wasn’t always positive. Not everyone was satisfied with the show’s answers to its own mysteries, but they kept watching to the end and many were. One development that did not go over well was the characters of Nikki and Paolo.

On March 28, 2007, Lost listened to fans and killed off Nikki and Paolo. Ironically, “Expose” turned out to be the best Nikki and Paolo episode. Here’s what happened:

Lost was about the survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious island. The plane already included a large ensemble cast of survivors. Each week, Lost would focus on a different character and flash back to their lives before the island, informing some of the action on the island.

The series finale, which aired on Mar. 10, 2017, didn’t disappoint, revealing details about the couple’s future. But because the epic episode was jam-packed, producers couldn’t include everything they filmed. So they put Elena in an outfit that quickly explained what had happened in one deleted scene.

When it comes to vampires, you’re talking about the lesser of two evils, literally. When The Vampire Diaries began, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) was presumably the bad boy to Stefan (Paul Wesley). Still, they were both vampires. Embodying the darker side of the equation, Somerhalder said at the time that he found a way to relate to Damon.
