0Nina Dobrev Isn’t Looking For A Date, Thank You

Nina Dobrev was with her Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder for nearly three years before they broke up earlier this year, so it’s no surprise that she’s not chomping at the bit to get back out there on the dating scene. Instead, she’s chilling with her single self and doesn’t really want another relationship for a while.

From US Weekly:

“I’ve been a relationship girl and I’ve been in long-term relationships my whole life until this point, so I think I’m looking forward to spending some time with myself and finding myself again. I’m just discovering different sides of me and growing and then I’ll figure out what I like in a man when I see it.”

Can’t hate on that! I’ve known far too many people in my lifetime who hop from one relationship to the next and it never ends well. You gotta love being with yourself just as much as you love being with other people if you wanna stay healthy and balanced. Live it up, girl.

2Did Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder Break Up? Do You Care?

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries have been together for what seems like 800 years (which is only like, 29 in vampire years), but it seems as if their love affair is over. Noooooooo! How could this be happening?! They were IN LOVE for THREE WHOLE YEARS and now EVERYTHING is RUINED? Sike, just kidding – it’s whatever.

From US Weekly:

The couple, who first took their romance public in 2011, are “consummate professionals,” the insider says, and “will continue to work together and remain best friends, which is where the relationship started.”

Well, that’s reassuring. I heard The Vampire Diaries is pretty good and I plan on Netflixing it soon so I don’t want any awkward actor tension.

Also, on another note, don’t you think Ian Somerhalder looks a lot like the poor man’s Cillian Murphy?

7Nina Dobrev, Anyone?

Those of you who find enjoyable the concept of undead creatures sinking their canine teeth into your jugular, might be familiar with Nina Dobrev from her work in the CW Network show The Vampire Diaries .  You might have also seen her in small parts in Chloe and the more recent The Perks of Being a Wallflower , but we haven’t yet had the pleasure of properly talking about her here at Evil Beet.

And understandably so - Dobrev is rubbing shoulders with various A-listers at the red carpet, but her breakthrough role in serious cinema is (hopefully) still to come about.  The reason I am talking about Nina Dobrev today is because she happens to be the one of the very few celebrities who were born in Bulgaria.  Do you know who else is Bulgarian?  I am!

Bulgaria is a Balkan country with a population smaller than that of New York City, so you can understand my sense of pride that at least one of my fellow people has made it in Hollywood.  Dobrev was only two years old when her parents left the old country for a better life in Canada, and she was lucky enough to be spared the craziness that ensued upon the shift from Communism to Democracy in the whole of Eastern Europe, and good for her.  Meanwhile, she kept busy doing rhythmic gymnastic in high school, shooting commercials, and auditioning for roles in television.  In 2009 Dobrev secured a leading role in The Vampire Diaries, in which she’s stuck starring currently.

Also, that dress.  I am most definitely loving that dress.  Unfortunately, however, being born in Bulgaria is the only thing Nina and I seem to share, because I am sure this dress (if I could afford it) would look horrifying on me.  I have just too much…hips for it.
