Kat Graham Announces Departure from The Vampire Diaries

Mystic Falls is about to lose another resident.

A few months after Nina Dobrev announced her departure from The Vampire Diaries, exiting the beloved CW series after six seasons as Elena Gilbert, co-star Kat Graham has confirmed her plans to move on from the show.

But not any time too soon, at least.

In an exclusive chat with Us Weekly at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday, Graham said that Season 8 will mark her final run as Bonnie Bennett.

She has starred as the young witch for the duration of the drama.

“Season 8 will be my last season,” Graham told the magazine, adding:

“I just hope that whatever I do after, the crew can come with me. If the crew can come with me, then we’ll be good. The crew is going to be the hardest thing to let go, because we are a family.”

Toward the end of last year, The CW moved The Vampire Diaries Season 7 to Friday nights, prompting many to believe it was burying the once-popular series until canceling it this spring.

Instead, however, the network surprised fans by renewing the program for the 2016-2017 season.

It remains unclear just how many episodes will comprise Season 8 and it will be a true shock if The Vampire Diaries is even around for a ninth season after Graham leaves.

“There’s some really intense stuff with my character this season,” Graham also teased.

“I think the biggest episodes I’ve ever had are 20 [airing April 29] and 21 [airing May 6]. It’s pretty major for the character – huge turns, a lot of stunts and cool sh-t!”

We’ll make a point to watch The Vampire Diaries online in order to see what’s on tap.

But it probably is about time for the series to get the axe, don’t you think? 

Celebrity Club Appearances: These Stars Make HOW Much?

Entertainment manager (and contemporary of the Kardashians) David Weintraub helps broker deals for celebrity club appearances, earning his clients up to six figures (or in some cases, seven).

Weintraub, whose roster include Ray J and Scott Disick, revealed to GQ what some the biggest stars make simply for showing up to a nightclub.

1. Lala Kent and James Kennedy

As peripheral reality stars, Lala Kent and James Kennedy of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ might only earn as much as a few thousand dollars per appearance.

2. Lil Jon

The rapper will DJ in Las Vegas a few times a week, staying for two hours to earn his nearly six-figure fee (per appearance).

3. Paris Hilton

Even though she’s considered the pioneer of celeb club appearances, these days Paris Hilton has to travel to the Middle East to earn the kind of paycheck she used to see in Las Vegas.

4. Nicki Minaj

Minaj was recently sued by Chateau nightclub for not staying the amount of time stated in her contract. The club demanded that she return her $ 236,000 fee as well as cover revenue that may have been earned (via bottle service) had she been at the club.

5. Rich Homie Quan

The up-and-coming rapper was estimated to make more in one night at a Las Vegas club than if he just rapped on an album.

6. Ray J

Ray J made an appearance in Dubai, which earned him $ 150,000. In January, he celebrated his birthday on four separate occasions, each one commanding a fee of $ 25,000.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West: Sleeping in Separate Rooms? Living Separate Lives?

Last week, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West finally moved into their own home after years of crashing with Kris Jenner and seriously testing the limits of the momager’s patience.

Unfortunately, instead of building a new life together, the couple is reportedly becoming more and more distant from one another.

“Kim and Kanye don’t sleep in the same bedroom in the new house,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.

“At Kris’s house they had to be together because there wasn’t a lot of room. At the new house they have tons and tons of space and so they are apart even when they’re home. And night is the worst time.”

The insider claims the main reason the couple spends so much time apart is stress that’s unrelated to their relationship:

“Kim is dealing with the kids at night and Kanye is working a lot…Kim and Kanye might live in the same house, but they don’t even see each other sometimes.”

Yeah, regardless of the cause, this news isn’t gonna help stop all those Kim and Kanye divorce rumors.

When you drop a few million on a mansion, and then a few million more on home repairs just so you can settle in and barely see each other, it’s not a good sign.

Kylie Jenner Wigs Out for Paper Magazine

For once in her life, Kylie Jenner is NOT making like Kim Kardashian.

The 18-year old reality star is featured in the latest issue of Paper Magazine, striking a handful of interesting and sultry poses… but doing so while remaining completely clothed.

This, of course, was not the case in November of 2014 when Kardashian posed fully nude for the same publication.

In the photos featured here, which were first posted by Us Weekly, Jenner is featured in the pages of Paper’s YOUth! issue.

As you can see above, Kylie is rocking a short blue wig for one image, while she goes with a fierce red bob in another… while showcasing her impressive body in a pink velvet one-piece.

“Paper has had a long relationship with the Kardashian/Jenner family. When we were putting together our issue focused on YOUth, Kylie was the obvious choice for the cover,” Drew Elliott, chief creative officer of Paper, tells Us Weekly.

“She lives the ultimate life of a young person and she shares it with us every day.”

Mickey Boardman, Paper’s editorial director, has dubbed Kylie the “superstar of her generation,” which places a lot of responsibility of the teenager’s shoulders.

But she says she can handle it.

“Growing up and being a young teen socialite comes with a lot of negativity and a lot of mean comments and online bullying,” she tells the magazine.

“I turn to these people who have real issues and have overcome bullying and done something amazing with it and they really inspire me. They make me feel like, ‘Oh wow, they’re going through something much bigger than I could ever imagine.’

“It’s just amazing how they stay positive and I wanted to share that with my fans and followers.”
