Vampire Diaries

Don’t expect to see Ian Somerhalder onscreen again any time soon -- he's put acting on the back burner for now, with no plans to jump back in.

At the Environmental Media Association Awards Gala, Ian came clean about soaking up every inch of his laid-back farm life with actress wife Nikki Reed and their 2 young kids -- so much so, that he believes his entertainment career is officially "in the rearview mirror."

Ian did pause a bit on those thoughts, though -- he mentioned to PEOPLE he recently regained the rights to "V Wars," the 2019 sci-fi series he and Nikki starred in together ... but he's not quite sure how they'd bring it back to life in the form of another show.

"Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley is sharing a positive update on Nina Dobrev after his former costar got into a gnarly crash on her E-bike ... telling us she's going to pull through.

We got Paul and his model girlfriend Natalie Kuckenburg at LAX on Thursday and our photog asked him if he had reached out to his fellow 'VD' alum since her accident.

Paul says Nina told him she's doing better after needing surgery for her injuries ... and he says she's expecting to make a full recovery.

Before this lovable little girl was acting on the big screen and traveling the world with her famous friends, she was just training hard in rhythmic gymnastics, playing with her pets and growing up in both Bulgaria and Toronto, Canada.

You may recall her supernatural acting roles in The CW's "The Vampire Diaries", but before she was a vampire drawing blood ... she was acting alongside Drake in the teen drama TV series "Degrassi: The Next Generation."

Need one more hint on who this cute kid is ... just ask her snowboarding bae Shaun White!

Shaun White is starting off retirement with a bang ... the legendary snowboarder took a trip to Costa Rica with his girlfriend, Nina Dobrev, and judging from the pics, life's good. Very, very good.

"It means no worries….🦁 #retired," Shaun wrote on an Instagram post of himself on vacay.

White -- a five-time Olympian and three-time gold medalist -- retired last month after competing in his final Winter Olympics. The 35-year-old was overcome with emotion as he concluded his final Games ... crying in front of the media.

In a recent interview with NBC in Boston, White told the outlet "Yeah, I'm retired, that's the last of it. Every step of the way has been great. I’ll finally have the time to do some things I’ve always wanted to, take some vacations, ride some powder."

Shaun kept true to his word ... going on a vacation with his famous GF. The two went to Costa Rica ... taking in sights on the beautiful islands at Hacienda Altagracia -- a local luxury resort.

White and Dobrev -- star from the hit  TV show "The Vampire Diaries" -- have been dating for years ... and announced they made it official while quarantining together during the early stages of the pandemic.

Nina considers herself an avid lover of snowboarding -- and, well, her boyfriend happens to be one of the greatest snowboarders in the sport's history.

Kat Graham just sucked the air out of the room for 'Vampire Diaries' fans ... 'cause she's NOT down to bring it back, despite an off-screen reunion with BFF, Nina Dobrev.

We got the 'Vampire Diaries' star at LAX, and had to ask if her recent meetup with Nina rekindled any old costar feelings -- ya know, possibly a reboot? That's certainly what fans of the hit WB drama were thinking when they saw Kat and Nina chilling.

Welp, despite the fact she and Nina posted some touching words about their friendship -- inadvertently fueling the reboot frenzy among fans -- Kat shot down the idea pretty hard and fast.

Check out the vid ... Kat says Nina would probably agree with her that they're not looking to go back to that well. When we told her the answer's going to break tons of hearts, she scoffed and explained ... true 'TVD' fans should know by now the cast remains tight years after the finale.

Not only are Kat and Nina -- who played BFFs Elena and Bonnie -- still tight, so are the show's on-screen brothers, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. Case in point, earlier this year they launched their own liquor brand, Brother’s Bond Bourbon.

"The Vampire Diaries" star Zach Roerig was allegedly a mess in more ways than one over Memorial Day weekend -- when he got busted for DUI, cops say he urinated in his jail cell.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Zach was busted Sunday around 2:30 AM in Montpelier, Ohio. Police tell us, officers noticed Zach's pickup truck did not have a front license plate, so they pulled him over.

Our sources say when the officer went up to the driver's side window, cops noticed Zach's slurred speech and bloodshot eyes and say he reeked of booze.

We're told police conducted several field sobriety tests during which Zach told the officer, "This is very hard, I can't do this when I'm f***ing ..." and his voice trailed off. The cop asked what he meant, and we're told Zach replied, "When I can't have a beer."

Cops arrested Zach for misdemeanor DUI. When they took him to the station, our sources say he was placed in a holding cell, where he ended up peeing. Long night.

Nikki Reed's marital status has gone from married to divorced to married again in the blink of an eye ... after getting hitched this weekend to "Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder.

Reed and Somerhalder exchanged vows Sunday in Malibu, where guests included "Glee" star Lea Michele and her boyfriend Matthew Paetz.

Reed split from "American Idol" star Paul McDonald in March 2014 and began dating Somerhalder in July. They even did a short engagement ... she got the ring in January, now they're hitched in April.

"Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder can make a girl orgasm just by touching her -- at least that's the way it looks in this video, showing a USC student spontaneously bursting into "Natural Woman" last Tuesday ... as soon as she holds his hand.

Ian had just finished an Earth Day talk at the school -- he's a big conservationist -- when student Shelby Miguel dropped the Aretha assault during a meet-and-greet ... out of nowhere.

"Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley is rightfully sucking the joint bank account dry ... we've learned he's getting the lion's share of loot in his divorce from Torrey DeVitto ... a divorce that is now final.

Turns out Paul and Torrey -- who also appeared on the show -- signed a prenup -- obtained by TMZ -- that keeps all their earnings separate ... and he made WAY more than her. On top of that, the prenup provides he gets all the money he fronted for the purchase of their home -- $730,593 -- and she gets what she put in -- a measly $10K.

They were certainly into motor vehicles. He gets to keep the Prius, the Triumph Bonneville chopper and an Audi Q5. She gets an Audi A4.

The couple married back in April 2011 and separated in July. They have no children together.

So who's the sucker now?

Roerig was awarded custody last month in Georgia ... and a judge signed off on Zach making all future decisions for his daughter -- according to court docs.

We broke the story -- Roerig told the court he wanted child support from his ex back in July ... but it looks like he has since backed off the request.

Maybe it's cause he makes 30k a month from the TV show -- and she makes, well ... nothing.

"The Vampire Diaries" star Zach Roerig is battling his baby mama for sole custody of their kid because she was just sentenced to Federal prison. But more importantly ... who knew he had a kid?

According to legal docs filed in GA court last month, Zach -- who plays regular human Matt Donovan on the show -- has a daughter with a woman named Alanna Turner, born in January 2011.

In the docs, 28-year-old Zach is asking the court to change the current custody arrangement and grant him full custody -- and he has a pretty good reason.

According to Zach, Alanna has been arrested at least three times and is actually incarcerated right now in after she pled guilty in federal court to "various crimes."

He's also asking that his jail-bird baby mama cough up child support -- perhaps a few cartons of Marlboros a month?

"Vampire Diaries" resident good witch Kat Graham cast a spell on the beach in a chic yellow high waisted bikini while with her buff shirtless boyfriend Cottrell Guidry in L.A. on Tuesday.

Wearing all sorts of different hats, "Vampire Diaries" hotties Matt Davis, Michael Trevino and Ian Somerhalder put their differences aside and made nice at an event in Madrid this month.

Question is ...

The "Vampire Diaries" set got a rude awakening Thursday morning when a fire ravaged the famous Mystic Grill facade and burned it to a crisp ... wreaking havoc to the tune of $200,000.

For those of you that don't watch the CW show ... the set is located in Covington, Georgia and doubles as Mystic Falls -- the supernatural town where Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder make sweet vampire love.

The Mystic Grill is the centerpiece of that town ... but in real life it is a law offices located in Covington Square park. On Thursday morning, those offices went up in flames when a truck smashed into an electrical pole behind the building.

The Covington Fire Department arrived on the scene early in the AM ... and according to the Newton Citizen, there was a lot of smoke damage to the building and the law offices were completely "gutted" by the blaze ... causing $200k worth of destruction.

In one of the first pics of the couple in public, Lady Gaga strolled with her hot new "Vampire Diaries" boyfriend Taylor Kinney in California recently.

The couple met on the set of Gaga's video for "You and I," where Kinney played her love interest.

So far no signs of a bad romance.
