On the September 16th Issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, you will find a centerfold of Ian Somerhalder as part of the issues – “18 best characters on TV.” Here’s a peek at the photo used in the issue & here’s a photo of Ian in the issue thanks to Shamrock48.

In a recent interview to promote season 2 of the Vampires Diaries, Ian Somerhalder and Michael Trevino spoke to Collider about what fans can look forward to in the upcoming season premiering September 9th.

Question: Ian, what hints can you give about what’s coming up for Damon in Season 2?
Ian: I do know that when Damon finds out that it was not Elena that he kissed, he’s going to blow his top. He’s not going to be very happy about it. Also, by virtue of the fact that there are other supernatural elements coming to town, Damon is going to have to make a decision and figure out whether he can work with Stefan to protect what they love, their way of life and all the things that come with it.

Michael, what can you say about the evolution of your character this season?
Michael: I don’t know much. One big thing is that there’s Uncle Mason. Mason Lockwood is a younger, hipper brother of Mayor Lockwood (Robert Pralgo), Tyler’s dad, and he comes to town. He takes Tyler under his wing and will probably be there for awhile to explain to him why he lashes out all the time and has this rage. He’ll give reasons to that and school him on the Lockwood ancestry from 1864, the werewolf gene, where that came from and why they have it. Somebody will probably turn into a werewolf, at some point. It’s going to be a process. We’re not going to show all our cards right away. Read the rest…
