Nina Dobrev was guest on Conan O’Brien yesterday and she did something that made her his favorite guest ever. The Vampire Diaries beauty used the TBS late night host as wall while she demonstrated a Yoga move called the Scorpion. Basically he stood there as she did a headstand and ran her feet down to his crotch area. By the looks of it actually touching him down there and that left his face as red as his hair. When she came up, he let everyone know just how excited he was that she used him as her wall and would be willing to be the substitute any time she wants.
And I have a feeling she wouldn’t mind either because here is what the Degrassi grad Tweeted before appearing on the show, “Quick 12 hour trip to LA to tape CONAN tonight! So excited to hang out with my favorite ginger in the world!!!”
Hopefully her favorite Ginger will be watching her in the heart stumping season finale of The Vampire Diaries on The CW at 8p.
And on that note good thing Nina’s boyfriend Ian Somerhalder was taping another talk show when she was Conan because I am afraid he would’ve showed his fangs to Coco had he been there and no one wants to mess with a pissed off Damon.
John Patrick Moore is one the few actors playing an actor on the buzzwothry LA Complex that airs Tuesdays on The CW at 9p and I spoke to him about his role of Connor Lake.
Moore plays an actor who has moved to LA from Australia and just landed his first big role and that is all he has in common with Connor. As he told me when he was describing his character, the major difference between the two is he doesn’t “suffer the same internal struggles that Connor does. He’s a real mess.”
So even though that part is fake, is the way the world of Hollywood is portrayed on the show real? This is what he told me, “I think it is very realistic. We get to cover such a huge amount of ground in just the six episodes that have been shot already to a really great extent.” He added, “It doesn’t really back off from the problems and the struggles that those people are going through.†If you have been watching the show, you know they are struggling with paying their bills, drinking, love and trying to do what they love even though there are so few jobs in entertainment. What you see is what you get in LA with this show and Moore knows because he has experienced what Connor has gone through to find work as an actor here.
So did Moore always want to be an actor, when I asked what else he does creatively he answered that question for me. He said, “I never wanted to be an actor. I did it because I changed schools a lot as a kid. I think the ninth grade, I went to a new school, and they said you have to drama and you have to do art and I was like OK.” Remembering fondly he added, “Fortunately I had a really terrific drama teacher, who became a bit of a mentor for me and helped me realize that I really loved it. Now I don’t want to do anything else.” And there is nothing else we would want to see him do.
So tune in every Tuesday night at 9p to see an Australian actor play an Australian actor on television. He is so believable, you won’t be able to tell he is acting on the most addictive show on television.
The CW has been quiet about what shows will be back next season, but that is no longer the case because the network announced today that Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries and 90210 will all be back in the fall. While the first two are a no-brainer, the third one is a shocker because it was rumored the teen soap was on its way out earlier in the year.
Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, Ringer, The Secret Circle and Nikita are still waiting to find out if they will also be on The CW’s lineup in September. I think GG will get the 13 and out treatment. I am wishing and hoping that the sweet Hart of Dixie is back because it is such a feel good show. Nikita has a good chance of coming back because it does really well overseas and that really helps its odds. When it comes to Ringer and The Secret Circle I am not sure they will be back, not with a few other supernatural shows in the works.
Do you think that The CW made the right decision?
Tonight at 8p on The CW The Vampire Diaries has one if its decades dance and it will be as disastrous as the other ones….if not more so.
Before the first commercial break there will be a gasp and it won’t be last the one that you will experience tonight. You will also have a few laughs, and sadly there will also be a lot of tears. I can’t tell you why you will experience all of those emotions, but what I can tell you is that Elena chooses between Stephan and Damon to be her date to the dance. Just as she starts to do slow dance with her choice, she will realize that those perfect moments don’t last for her. She will be taken away from the dance, and a spell will keep all the Vampires trapped at the school so she is out there on her own with someone who doesn’t have her best interests in mind. Will the Vampires be freed from the cage before it is too late for Elana? Will it be the last time we see the doppelganger? And what is going to happen that is going to change everything that happens on The Vampire Diaries forever? You will have to tune in to find out and make sure you have the tissues ready. I didn’t and it was not a pretty sight.
Earlier today I attended a screening for tomorrow’s The Vampire Diaries and Executive Producer Julie Plec was there to answer questions about the episode. Well I wanted to know if they have an end plan for the show and she told us that when The CW puts a stake through the show’s heart they know how it will end. She said, “Kevin (Williamson) and I came up with our end plan sitting in the mall lobby of the W Midtown in Atlanta on a Sunday in season two. I think we were trying to write episode seven. We were tired and stressed and talked about the last moment of the show, last sort of character moments of the show and we both started to cry in the middle of the mall. And just felt like that was right.” She then added, “And assuming that he and I are both around…then yeah we know how we want to end.” She didn’t give us any clue what that ending is, but if they were both crying I doubt it will be a happy one? Or maybe it is for one brother and not the other one? Or maybe both brothers have more in stake with their hearts then we know? How do you think we will eventually say goodbye to the show? Whatever Plec and Williamson have mapped out, you know it will be a fitting ending for Stephan, Damon and Elena.
Oh and one other tidbit, not everyone will be back for season four. And we might not know by the end of the season who those people are. But what I can tell you is the wheels are put into motion during tomorrow’s episode and you don’t want to miss a single second of the game changing episode on The CW at 8p.
