Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley Say THIS Main Storyline Felt ‘Forced’; ‘Should’ve Never Made It Out…’

Published by Parlour News

Paul Wesley is one of the biggest names from the hit supernatural drama The Vampire Diaries. The actor recently shared his thoughts on a storyline he believes should have never made it to the screen. During a recent episode of Hot Ones Versus, Wesley was asked about “one storyline you think should’ve never made it out of the writers’ room.” Speaking with his former co-star Ian Somerhalder, Wesley reflected on the hit show, which ran from 2009 to 2017, in which he played the character Stefan Salvatore. “After Nina [Dobrev] left the show [after season six], they were like, ‘We need to pair Stefan with a romantic partner,’ and then Stefan and Caroline [Candice King] ended up having a wedding and getting married, right?” the History of Evil actor stated. To this, Somerhalder added, “It was a little forced, but it was cute,” a sentiment with which Wesley agreed. For those who may not know, The Vampire Diaries originally centered around a love triangle involving Stefan, played by Paul Wesley; Elena Gilbert, played by Nina …

Flavour of the hills: Pratibha Ranta’s food diaries – EXCLUSIVE

Flavour of the hills: Pratibha Ranta’s food diaries – EXCLUSIVE

Published by Parlour News

I’m madly in love with Himachali food, and I wear that love on my sleeve. The flavours of the hills are not just tastes, they’re emotions, memories and a connection to my roots. Born and raised in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, food for me has always been a way to nurture the body and soul. Unlike most people, I never saw food as something indulgent, it was sustenance, energy and tradition woven together. But when it comes to Himachali food, oh, it’s so much more than survival, it’s pure magic. The Essence of Himachali Cuisine Himachali food is warmth personified. The chilly mountain air makes every dish feel like a warm hug. Take our chutneys, for instance, we make them from dry fruit. Another dish we make is by blending jaggery and flour into a hearty dough called Baadi. Before eating, we drizzle ghee over it, turning it into a melt-in-your-mouth delight. Our meals are brimming with halwa, saag, buttery milk and other wholesome dishes. But my ultimate love? Siddu. Imagine biting into a steamed, stuffed …

Nina Dobrev Almost Chose Boardwalk Empire Over The Vampire Diaries – Here’s Why She Said No

Nina Dobrev Almost Chose Boardwalk Empire Over The Vampire Diaries – Here’s Why She Said No

Published by Webster

Did Nina Dobrev almost pass on The Vampire Diaries? (Photo Credit – Instagram) Back in the day, Nina Dobrev had to choose between Mystic Falls and 1920s Atlantic City. Yep, she was this close to joining HBO’s critically acclaimed Boardwalk Empire. The dealbreaker? A nudity clause that came with way too many question marks. Dobrev spilled the tea during an interview for her Netflix flick The Out-Laws, and it’s a real “sliding doors” moment. “I wasn’t allowed to test for both The Vampire Diaries and Boardwalk Empire. And I didn’t know, like, how do you make a decision?” she revealed. Tough call, right? But the then-19-year-old wasn’t vibing with the Boardwalk Empire contract. “At some point, there might be nudity, and you’ll have to do it,” she remembered being told. Nope. That clause was enough to nudge her toward the supernatural drama—and thank the vampire gods for that. Once she landed in Mystic Falls, Dobrev didn’t just play Elena Gilbert, the ultimate girl-next-door-turned-vampire—it was a one-woman show. Sweet, human Elena on one side, and on …

Ian Basey’s diaries: From sanctioning McEnroe to meeting Rajiv Gandhi at 10 Janpath and procuring a Federer autograph for Harbhajan | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

When the Indian team walks into their dressing room at Adelaide Oval on Friday afternoon, the bright smiling face of Ian Basey, the change room attendant for visiting teams for 18 years, would welcome them. The monkey-gate series in 2008, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid’s swansong in 2012, the 2014 Virat Kohli’s captaincy Test, the 2018 triumph, and the pandemic game when India were bowled out for 36–Basey has been there, seen it and done that. Not just cricket, he refereed a Davis Cup game and once met the Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at the famous 10 Janpath address in New Delhi. A detective sergeant in his earlier life, at a tennis game once in Sydney in 1983, he reprimanded John McEnroe for abusing a line-judge. Handling cricketers, then, must be a piece of cake. “Don’t you ask about that monkey-gate series,” he says with a put-on stern voice, probably the voice he uses to tell the players “put the wet used towels in the labelled bin, please!”. Basey then carries on, “Ivt’s not …
