How to Get Elena’s Pink Highlights
We have all grown accustomed to Elena’s sleek, pin straight, brown hair throughout the four seasons of The Vampire Diaries. However, the great team over at TVD decided it is time for Elena to change her look. At least for a little while.
In the March 21st episode of TVD, Elena sports a hot pink streak in her new, wavy hair. Her hair is the complete opposite of her typical straight hair. Now, Elena has a side part accentuated with a pink streak and soft, pretty curls.
If you want to achieve this look, it’s really easy. Maybe you don’t have the brown hair that Nina Dobrev has, but don’t worry. Nina’s hair was completely transformed for this episode with the help of simple brown highlights and the pink streak.
For the pink streak, we recommend starting off by dying a hair extension magenta rather than jumping straight into a hair dye. This way if the streak looks terrible in your hair or you feel like trying a different look from time to time, you can simply remove the extension instead another dye job that could damage your hair.
If you’re feeling bold and want to completely imitate Elena’s look, start by creating lighter brown highlights in desired spots of your hair. Once finished, pick a strip of hair and dye it the your favorite perfect hue of pink. Elena may only have one streak of pink in her hair, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go beyond that. Go crazy adding streaks of pink all over. Your hair is your cheapest accessory and experimenting with it can be fun and can totally change your look. Just remember to always give your hair the proper care. For the color treatment, be sure to use color specific shampoo and conditioner.
Another trend in hair color is hair chalking. The technique is fairly simple. Using your favorite color of chalk or pastel, simply color small sections of your hair and brush the dust out. The Beauty Department shows you the best tips for adding highlights with chalk or pastels.

The Vampire Diaries Spin-Off: Daniel Gillies Wants the Originals To...
One thousand years is a long time, and the Originals lived through it all. Some of them were locked in coffins for portions of it, but still. The Vampire Diaries spin-off has lots of potential, which excites one family member.
Daniel Gillies (Elijah) tells Entertainment Tonight that he likes that he and his vampire siblings — Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Rebekah (Claire Holt) — can traipse through time like Carmen Sandiego.
“The advantage the show carries is that, because Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah have been alive for a millennium, we can bounce all over time,” says Daniel.
And he has some ideas of eras when he’d love to see the Originals. “Because they're invulnerable, it makes everything kind of fun — if people are falling in the streets because of the Bubonic Plague, it's

How will The Originals affect The Vampire Diaries?
It’s getting closer and closer to April 25th, when The Vampire Diaries backdoor pilot for The Originals airs on the CW. So what does The Originals spin-off mean for our favorite show The Vampire Diaries?
The main effect of The Originals spin-off is that we’ll have two fantastic shows and two amazing sets of vampires to drool over each week, and for the characters to make cross-over appearances on! Currently Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Rebekah (Claire Holt), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), share just the one hour of The Vampire Diaries with Stefan (Paul Wesley), Damon (Ian Somerhalder), and Elena (Nina Dobrev).
Once The Originals graces our TVs we’ll have a two-hour vampire feast every week, and so will they!!! And we’ll no doubt see some amazing scenes of New Orleans, too. With two hours of vampire madness and mayhem it will be like a movie each week, but with bathroom breaks! Of course, this is assuming that The Originals will air right after The Vampire Diaries!
Since The Originals pilot will be an episode of The Vampire Diaries, it will be like an hour-long sneak peek of what the series will be like when The CW network adds it to their fall lineup for next season!

‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 4 spoilers: Nina Dobrev, Claire Holt square off
If there were two characters on “The Vampire Diaries” that we were hoping would have some interaction someday, it was Nina Dobrev’s Katherine (nope, not Elena!) and Claire Holt’s Rebekah. They are two of the oldest female vampires we’ve met, and both of them have a very noticeable mean streak. While Katherine has always been a bit of a ruthless survivalist, Rebekah is in some ways a little more complex: while she puts on airs of acting rather tough and difficult to deal with, you have this constant feeling under the surface that more than anything, all she wants is to be loved.
Ultimately, you really get a major sense of that in the sneak peek below (which was first posted by TVLine), as Rebekah is really set off after Katherine questions why exactly she wants the vampire cure so badly. Does she really want to be mortal, or does she just want to get a chance to start over with her life. The only thing more interesting than this accusation is the idea that Katherine has glamoured a whole town into liking her, just so that she does suddenly have a place in the world.
Just when things are starting to get violent between these two, the reinforcements stop by top put a stop to the madness. Of course, we’re talking here specifically about none other than the Salvatore brothers, who have managed to hunt them down despite Elena screwing them over and leaving Damon stranded specifically in New York last week. As Katherine suggestions with her “there goes the neighborhood” line, things are about to get very interesting.
What do you think about the idea of watching these two “Vampire Diaries” characters battle it out?

Ian Somerhalder Says Paul Wesley Will Never Talk to Him Again After...
If you watched The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 17, “Because the Night,” you saw Ian Somerhalder in guyliner when his character, Damon Salvatore, flashed back to the 1970s.
Unfortunately, Damon’s brother, Stefan, was nowhere to be seen in that decade. But Entertainment Weekly had Ian Somerhalder imagine what the younger Salvatore would’ve looked like. Using a cardboard cutout of Paul Wesley, Ian decked his on-screen sibling out in a ‘fro, moustache, Forever 21 leather jacket, and teal bell bottoms. He also added some hot pink padding to a certain area to make the effect more, ahem, 3-D.
“Paul’s a pretty macho guy,” Ian said of his co-star. “I think we should bring out more of his feminine side.” This included putting a necklace and sparkly purple butterfly on the cutout.
We have to say, Paul still looks pretty good, even with the creepy ‘stach. But Ian was worried. “Paul is probably never gonna talk to me again,” the actor predicted as he placed a purple hat on top of the wig.
Don’t underestimate the Polish hottie’s sense of humor, Ian! Paul tweeted out the video (which you can watch below), writing, “good one.”
Maybe one day Paul will get to return the favor and dress up Ian in ‘80s garb.
The Vampire Diaries Speculation: Is Caroline Helping or Hurting Klaus?
Our jaws dropped when we saw the sneak peek photos for The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 18, “American Gothic.” Not only was Elijah (Daniel Gillies) looking utterly dapper in his suit, Caroline (Candice Accola) was alone with a shirtless Klaus (Joseph Morgan).
We have no idea what’s going on, but we’re going to do some analysis of each photo and try to figure it out.
Photo 1: Caroline and the gardening too.
The last time we saw Klaus, he was getting the indestructible white oak stake broken off in his back by Silas/Shane (David Alpay). The tip was likely still lodged in there, so perhaps Caroline is being helpful by removing it?
Photo 2: Caroline looks concerned.
Vampire Barbie certainly seems worried about the guy she’s been chiding for killing his own hybrids. Maybe her own recent murder spree has given her a change of heart?
Photo 3: Caroline touches Klaus’s face.
So Caroline is clearly colluding with Klaus, and they get physically closer. Is this a prelude to a kiss?

The Originals Joseph Morgan talks about Revelation short
Joseph Morgan, Klaus Mikaelson on The Vampire Diaries and the upcoming The Originals, was interviewed recently on CBS in Atlanta about his 12-minute short film “Revelation” which debuted at The Atlanta Film Festival.
Joseph Morgan is a fan of horror, fantasy, Stephen King, and especially “The Walking Dead“! His inspiration for writing was sparked when he was 15 and discovered the films of Quentin Tarantino. This inspired him to write his first screenplay.
After graduating from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, he continued to write and produce as his acting career found its way to “The Vampire Diaries” and now the lead in “The Originals.” “Revelation” is his directorial debut, which is a dark post-apocalyptic story of a woman who loses her grip on reality. Persia White, who was also on “The Vampire Diaries” stars in the short and helped out with writing and editing, but the directoring was all Joseph Morgan!

Vampire Diaries Season 4: Will Elena Ever Revert to Her Old Self?
A couple of game-changing things went on before The Vampire Diaries went on hiatus, not least of which was Elena finally flipping the switch and going full-on vamp. Now we’ve seen the fallout from that decision, and know that an Elena without feelings isn’t one you’d want around puppies and children. She’s really taken to this whole ‘evil undead monster’ shtick, and has even given Damon a run for his money in selfish and reckless behaviour.
But is this the end of old, whiny, moral Elena – the girl who would do anything for her friends but who couldn’t make a decision to save her life? I have to admit, it’s lovely to have a break from that girl, who was increasingly sucking the fun out of the show with her various crippling traumas, and have her replaced with this fun-loving carefree teenager we’re enjoying now. My hat comes off for Nina Dobrev, who has now made me believe in three completely separate characters, often at the same time.
But isn’t that part of the problem? We already have an evil Elena – Katherine. With the original object of the Salvatores’ affections hanging around in the background threatening a return, is there enough room for both girls to do their thing? It was always a joy to see Dobrev sweep around the place in her leather simply because Katherine was so vastly opposed to what Elena represented. Now that they’re on equal footing, if not quite the same person, how can we expect the two to react to each other?
This extends right down to their love lives, since Damon and Stefan’s attraction to Elena seemed to at least partially be about how different the two girls were. They loved Katherine but hated her repeated betrayals and evil nature so – particularly for Stefan – Elena was a second chance for them to create the perfect woman. She was put on a pedestal and, when she was turned into a vampire, Stefan was desperate to ‘save her’. He didn’t want an undead Elena, and so made her into a problem for him to fix.
Thus was born the ‘hunt for the cure’ storyline,

The Vampire Diaries: What Would Damon Do If He Took the Cure?
If there’s one vampire on all of The Vampire Diaries who would want to destroy the cure if he got his hands on it, it’s Damon (Ian Somerhalder). He’s made it perfectly clear he wants nothing to do with it and thinks all his friends are better off with their fangs. But what if, by some fluke, Mr. Salvatore actually ended up taking it?
That very query was posed to Ian Somerhalder by Entertainment Weekly. Surprisingly, he didn’t think Damon would be too upset. Rather, Ian thinks that after the initial shock wore off, Damon would get over it pretty quickly.
According to Ian, Damon would say, “‘Well, I’ve lived quite a while, I’m gonna grow old naturally and die. I could take the Salvatore fortune and donate half
What To Expect in The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 18: “American Gothic”
The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 18 extended promo for “American Gothic” is a continuation of the road trip from the previous episode. In fact, we finally catch up with a certain cure thief. We’ll take you through the promo second by second so you can tell which doppelganger is which.
0:01 — Smalltown, USA
Wait, this isn’t Mystic Falls!
0:02 — Defan
Kind of love it when the brothers Salvatore are on the same side.
Someone’s still a bit bitter over the whole neck-snapping thing.
0:05 – 0:06 — OK, more than a bit.
Karma for all the necks he’s snapped? Just sayin’. Now he knows howAlaric (Matt Davis) felt.
0:07 — “The game is on.”
As long as it’s not Monopoly. We don’t have 14 hours, here.
0:09 – 0:10 — “You have no chance of finding the cure.”
There are no words.
But, Caroline. Shirtless.
Sorry. Had to rewind.
Is she talking to herself?
0:14 — Sort of.
She’s actually talking to her doppelganger, Katherine (Nina Dobrev).
0:16 — Elena demands the cure.
This probably won’t go well.
0:17 — Katherine scoffs.
Do you know how much effort she went through to get that thing?
0:18 — Doppelganger y doppelganger
Place your bets! Who do you think will win this fight?
0:20 — Katherine’s KO’d.
Bam! Bitch went down.
0:21 — At least for a second.
You can’t keep Kat down for that long.
0:22 — Elena had some help.
You’d think Rebekah and Katherine would’ve run into each other before now, right?
0:23 — Damon declares a winner.
A Katherine/Elena showdown? We’re the winners.
The Vampire Diaries Speculation: Where is Katherine?
After her fatal cure-snatch and run out on lonely island, The Vampire Diaries villain Katherine (Nina Dobrev) has hit the road and hasn’t been heard from since. She’s on the lam, she’s got the cure, and everyone wants a piece of her. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Rebekah (Claire Holt) are trying to track her down, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is on the prowl, and no one has found her yet: Where is Katherine?
There’s a chance she’s coming after Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin). As Klaus told the wolf, “You were stupid enough to make a deal with Katerina Petrova to help her find the cure, now you’re a loose end.” Hayley and Katherine had been working together in New Orleans, so she could be headed that way, via a truck stop in the boonies, to try and wrap up that particular loose end. Since Klaus is one of the few people who is Katherine’s equal in the evil department, he’s probably got a decent idea how she works.
(And obviously by “working” we mean “manipulating and taking advantage of,” and by “wrap up” we mean “murder, probably in a horrible fashion.”)
Then again, Katherine likely wants to cram that cure down Klaus’s
‘Vampire Diaries’: Damon & Elena’s Search For Katherine Ends In Tragedy
Plus, Silas calls on Bonnie for his third massacre! Is there no stopping him?
Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) took a bite out of the Big Apple on the March 21 episode of The Vampire Diaries, indulging in all the usual tourist activities: feeding on innocent New Yorkers, hunting down the cure for vampirism, and — for whatever reason — getting tacky pink highlights. Like, really tacky. But when they weren’t painting the town red, literally, Damon was regaling his girlfriend with tales from his days in 1970s New York — including his secret fling with Lexi (Arielle Kebbel)! I know, I was surprised too.
My surprise lessened, however, when we learned Damon was only faking his feelings for Lexi in order to get her off his back. Stefan (Paul Wesley) had sent her to NYC to fix Damon, which obviously didn’t sit too well with him. Suddenly, I totally understand why Damon eventually killed her.
Damon and Elena’s big-city trip took a delightfully twisted turn when Rebekah

The Vampire Diaries Synopsis For Season 4, Episode 18: “American Gothic”
A small town in Pennsylvania? That’s the last place we’d think to look for Katherine (Nina Dobrev), but according to The Vampire Diaries synopsis for Season 4, Episode 18, “American Gothic,” that just might be where the fanged fatale is hiding out.
The last time we saw Kat, she was absconding with the single dose of the cure. Now Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Rebekah (Claire Holt) are hot on her trail — hence the trip to the Keystone State. Guess who else is a fan of Quakers, chocolate, and liberty? Elijah (Daniel Gillies)!
Now that we’re done doing our happy dance, we’ll tell you that the Original also just so happens to be in Pennsylvania. Intrigue! Maybe he and Katherine are holed up in the same bed and breakfast?
Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) are both worried about Elena and her new emotionless state. She’s not exactly rolling out the welcome mat for their
