Ian Somerhalder Speaks Before Congress for Wildlife Preservation
Ian Somerhalder has set aside some time from his busy schedule to address issues close to his heart in person. The day after a late night shooting of “The Vampire Diaries” on Wednesday, July 26, the Damon Salvatore depicter appeared before Congress in Washington, D.C. to testify for wildlife preservation.
“Wildlife and environmental conservation has always been not just a passion, but a priority of mine,” said the founder of the Ian Somerhalder Foundation. “When I began to find that through my work as an actor, I was gaining an increasingly prominent platform in front of the American public, I knew right away what I wanted to do with it.”

Thanks to the wonderful Jennifer, I have added captures of one of Ian’s older television movies from 2001, Anatomy Of A Hate Crime which tells the story of the hate crime of Max Shepherd.

TVD: Season 3 “Delena” Spoiler
The season finale had another major moment: the kiss between Damon and Elena. Did you hesitate giving the “Delena” fans that moment too soon?
Plec: I felt like it was something that needed to happen to end Damon’s story line for the season. His entire journey had been, “I’m not worthy of you” and at the end of the season, as he’s dying, she tells him, “Yes, you are; you’re worthy.” For her to be able to show that in a sweet kiss, telling him that she likes him the way he is and he doesn’t need to change for her, I thought was really important and a really nice ending to that journey. Of course, in their world, the end of any journey opens up the beginning of a whole lot of drama.How will that be addressed next season?
Plec: There are a lot of complicated feelings attached to that moment, the biggest being that Stefan was off saving Damon’s life while Damon was confessing, yet again, his love for his brother’s girlfriend. There’s going to be a sense of obligation and guilt attached to it, but Damon does what Damon’s going to do. And for now, Elena’s boyfriend is gone, possibly dead, and Damon’s there as a friend trying to help her save Stefan, and anything can happen there.Will Stefan be back for Elena’s big 18th birthday party in the premiere?
Plec: When we come back, no one will have heard from him, no one will have seen him and the audience won’t know where he’s been and what he’s going through is going to be pretty surprising. One of the little big moments [in the episode] is wondering what Damon gives Elena for her birthday and if Stefan makes an appearance to blow out the candles on the cake.
The Vampire Diaries’ Cast Smolders on the Cover of TV Guide’s Comic-Con Special Edition
TV Guide magazine is once again releasing a special Comic-Con issue, and The Vampire Diaries’ three main players will grace one of the four special-edition covers this year.
The cover features a close-up of Ian Somerhalder (Damon) and Paul Wesley (Stefan) on either side of the always-gorgeous Nina Dobrev (Elena/Katherine). (That’s one sexy sandwich!) We can’t tell from her solemn expression whether she’s supposed to be a doleful Elena or pissed-off Katherine, but she looks great nonetheless.
Casts from The Big Bang Theory, Fringe, and Chuck will adorn the other three editions, and all four issues will include insider 411 on each show, exclusive set photos, and a peek at new shows, including TVD’s sister show, The Secret Circle.
Warner Brothers Television Group will hand out copies of the issue during Comic-Con (July 20–24) at their booth in the San Diego Convention Center, and it will hit newsstands on Thursday, July 21 for everyone else!
