We are itching for The Vampire Diaries Season 6 premiere to finally hit! While we love summer time, us Roo Girls seriously can't wait for October 2nd to come already. Season 5 of TVD ended so abruptly that waiting months and months and months for the next season to air has been torture...in the most vampiric way possible, of course! Well, the TVD gods have finally shined down on us by giving us some little tid bits to hold us over until Fall comes: a sneak peek of the Season Six promo photo shoot!

The show's stars shared behind-the-scenes videos and pics from the photo shoot on their Instagrams that are so steamy (literally)! The most exciting news? It looks like Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is in some of the photos and videos...so we can only hope that means he's back for Season 6! Check out the Instagram posts below and decide for yourself whether you think he'll be back in action for the next TVD season.

Pretty awesome pictures and videos, right? You can guess what we loved the most (other than seeing the faces of the hot TVD guys, of course), Nina Dobrev's (Elena on The Vampire Diaries) sexy black cut-out dress! The gown looked so perfect on her - we wish we could see the final photo shoot of her in the dress already! If you want her cut-out look for your next formal event, we're all about Nika style 9041! This gown features a strapless sweetheart bodice, illusion straps and back, and side cut outs just like Nina's dress. The gown also features elegant embellished cuff sleeves.

Did these photos and videos get you itching for more TVD already? They sure got us wanting more - we hope you're as excited for The Vampire Diaries Season 6 as we are! Get ready for the Fall and October (and hopefully more Damon)!

The school year is about to begin and the New Year is just around the corner! You are once again reunited with your classmates and getting settled into your new classes. This year, it's your chance to amp up your style and refresh your look. Fashion is constantly changing and usually some back-to-school shopping does the trick. But, if you want to really make a drastic change to your look...try a whole new hairstyle! So many haircuts are on trend right now and we picked out a few of our favorite current ones.

The Lob - Long Bob

So many celebs have drastically changed their hair for summer of 2014. One of the biggest trends of the year was the infamous long bob. This intermediate cut is not too short but not too lengthy.  The on trend term for the Long Bob is The Lob.  The long bob has a wide range of variations from sexy waves to groovy seventies inspired bangs.  Even Beyonce went from her luscious long locks to this sassy short cut. Everyone is jumping on this hairstyle and can't get enough of it. Who said short hair wasn't sexy? This is great for someone who wants to try something new but not totally extreme.  Sienna Miller and Jennifer Aniston are just two of the many A-List celebs that have opted for the the long bob hairstyle.

Ombre Highlights

For the past couple of years, ombre highlights have been getting so popular...everybody tried some kind of form of ombre...even ombre dresses! When it comes to your hair, whether it's a subtle one shade lighter ombre or a full on platinum blonde ombre...there's endless possibilities on how extreme you can go. Adding color like pinks and reds to add some edginess to your style is a great way to more drastically change your appearance.  Check out how Ciara and Rachel Bilson rock the ombre hairstyle below.

Shaved Side Hairstyle

Another trend celebs all over this year have been rocking is the shaved side hairstyle. You've seen it on pop stars like Miley Cyrus...Rihanna...and Cassie. Not many people would go for this look because of the drastic side buzz cut and the maintenance, but if you want a look that will have you standing out from the crowd, then this will definitely do it!

If you want to try it but don't want to go too extreme, here's a temporary look Kendall Jenner rocked similar to that trend. Short, small braids is a great way to go edgy for just a few days without giving your mom a heart attack!

One Direction made the Internet go crazy yesterday (as usual) when they gave Directioners clues about a big announcement that would be coming soon. After some minor (and by minor, we mean huge) panic attacks, the 1D boys finally revealed what they had in store for their fans! If you're reading this, we're sure you probably already know what the big surprise ended up being...but if you don't...it's that 1D announced the release of their brand new perfume, called "You and I." This is their third perfume, so we're happy to report that there's a brand new one available to continue to smell like our favorite rock stars.

Seventeen Magazine caught up with the boys and got the scoop behind the new perfume from Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. The two boys told Seventeen all about what went into making their latest scent...and even more...like who inspires them when things get a little nuts on the road and what makes a girl sexy.

This was Liam's response to how they chose their latest scent:

"We went through a list of things and found what we liked and what we didn't like - what our girlfriends would wear and stuff, and that's kind of how we got around to it."

-Liam Payne

And, here's what Louis had to say on naming the perfume "You and I"

"We loved the song, and obviously it's quite personal. [The song] is a personal thing, and it's a personal thing with the fragrance, too - so that was the whole idea behind that. The title was actually the hardest thing for this one!"

-Louis Tomlinson

Paris Hilton's newest single "Come Alive" finally came out on July 15, 2014, and we're loving it! The song is so much fun, and the video is so whimsical, with Paris frolicking in an open field, hanging out on a cloud, swinging on a swing full of beautiful flowers...and there's even a unicorn and a rainbow! Check out the video here:

http://youtu.be/6KXwYjG8txo

We love the chorus and overall message:

"You make me smile, you make me dream, you make me feel alive. You make me dance, you make me feel, you make me come to life, you make me come alive, you make me feel alive."

Who wouldn't want to be with someone who made you feel that way?? And of course, Paris looks as gorgeous as ever with her diamond encrusted nails and flower filled hair. There's one other reason we're digging Paris' look, though: did you catch her wearing one of our favorite dress designers in the video? She rocked Mac Duggal style 3908A in the part of the video where she's with the unicorn!

Mac Duggal 3908A is a fully sequined, high fashion gown with an open back that looked absolutely fabulous on Paris! The sequins on this gown had Paris sparkling perfectly within her video, and really helped her "come alive!" The whole scene with her in the sparkly Mac Duggal gown, with the unicorn and rainbow in the background looked like something out of a dream!

While the color that Paris wore in the video is no longer available, Mac Duggal 3908A is also available in a show-stopping Peacock color, which you can see above. It's definitely the perfect way to feel like a celebrity at Prom or your next formal event!

It looks like the drama is heating up this Summer with the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" coming back, bigger and better than ever. Some new old faces are rejoining the cast, as well as some new, which is a winning recipe for explosive drama. Season 6 will be picking up with the return of Season 1 favorite cast member, Dina Manzo, as well an addition of three new housewives into the mix. The Guidice legal drama is still going on, which is a whirlwind of ups and downs on its own.

The RHONJ Season 6 cast make their return to the show looking just gorgeous as always! The Season 6 preview has two of the lovely housewives wearing one of our favorite designers, Jovani!

RHONJ Start the Season Right in Jovani!

Two of the wives, identical twin sisters, Nicole Mauriello and Teresa Aprea are both stunning in Jovani and JVN designs. Notice Nicole wearing a Jovani strapless pink evening gown. Meanwhile, her sister Teresa opted for a strapless red evening gown with an embellished sparkly neckline by JVN, Jovani's newest line, which is more affordable, yet still super stylish and chic.

With the season just getting started, we can't wait to see what these ladies have in store as far as their gorgeous fashion, wild parties, and out of control TV moments. These are women we truly love to watch and must admit this show and their fashion choices are guilty pleasures we love to indulge in! What crazy things do these women have up their sleeves for Season 6? I guess we will have to watch to find out! Stay tuned for more fashion updates!

One of the most popular award shows is just around the corner, but it isn't the one where big speeches are made and tears are shed. Instead, it is the show of laughs and fun, and where coveted trophies of "Moonmen" are given out. Yes, the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards will be on August 24th, and the nominees have officially been announced! This year's nominees include some awesome collaborations, as well as your favorite and pretty expected musicians! We are hoping the show will be a blast, but as far as the nominees go, there are no major surprises, just super hits!

The 2014 VMAs nominees for Best Video of the Year include Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX for "Fancy," Beyoncé ft. JAY Z for "Drunk In Love," Pharrell Williams for "Happy," Sia for "Chandelier," and Miley Cyrus for her outstanding hit "Wrecking Ball."

The top ladies in music who continue to take the world by storm include Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX with her hit "Fancy," which is also nominated for Best Female Video. Iggy is nominated twice in the category for Best Pop Video for "Fancy" and her collaboration with Ariana Grande in "Problem." Ms. Grande is also nominated twice for "Problem" having a shot at Best Female Video as well. Way to go ladies! Beyonce, Lorde, and Katy Perry also join in the category for having nods for Best Female Video! Should be a very close vote in this category and we can't wait to see who the winner is!

One of the more interesting categories announced was for Best Video with a Social Message. We love this category because it honors the artist not only for his or her musical talent, but for spreading a positive word to young people everywhere. The 2014 VMA nominees for this category are Angel Haze ft. SIA with "Battle Cry," Avicii with "Hey Brother," Beyoncé with her song "Pretty Hurts," J. Cole ft. TLC and "Crooked Smile," Kelly Rowland  with "Dirty Laundry," and David Guetta ft. Mikky Ekko with the song "One Voice."

We loved the awesome collaborations that took place this year and we are really looking forward to see which artists will bring home the Moonman for Best Collaboration of the Year. It is tricky when one artist is great, but when they pair up with someone else amazing they really create phenomenal music! Will Ariana Grande ft. Izzy Azalea beat out Katy Perry ft. Juicy J. and "Dark Horse?" Or what about Beyonce ft. Jay Z for "Drunk in Love?" How will we ever tell? All we know is the show is going to be great and we are counting down the days to see the fashion, performances, and unexpected!

All of Hollywood from A-listers to reporters cannot contain themselves with excitement, as the 2014 Emmy season is upon us once again! The Television Academy is pleased to be holding the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, which will take place on August 25, 2014 8PM/ET on NBC.  The Nominations have officially been announced via webcast by one of our favorite clever cuties, Mindy Kaling, and late-night prince Carson Daly. Were the nominees shocking or were they what we expected? We think the talent speaks for itself!

This was a groundbreaking year for television series, as was mentioned in the opening speech with the usage of new platforms of media such as Netflix. It was obvious in the nominations as "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black" both scored several nominations. "House of Cards," not only is up for Best Drama Series, but also has nominations for Best Actress AND Best Actor in a Drama Series for Robin Penn and Kevin Spacey. Meanwhile, the show everyone cannot stop talking about, "Orange is the New Black," has an impressing 12 nods including one of our favorite blondes, Taylor Schilling up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

The winner of the most nominations was for the daring HBO series, "Game of Thrones," which took an outstanding 19 nominations! One of these includes beautiful Lena Headly (who beat out Emilia Clarke) for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series! Wow!

A trend in several of the nominations was for the newer series. Right behind "Game of Thrones" was the extremely talked about FX series "Fargo," which obtained 18 nods, including Billy Bob Thornton for Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie. Also new in the game and up for props is "True Detective." Nominated for Best Drama Series and Matthew McConaughey for Best Supporting Actor, to name two. One of our favorite newbies for the tech-savvy, HBO's "Silicon Valley" is also nominated for the category of Best Comedy Series!

Of course, the Emmy Awards would be nothing without nominations for the shows we crave to return each season, like "Modern Family" and "Veep," both up for Best Comedy Series, and our favorite funny girls like Lena Dunham of "Girls," Amy Pohler of "Parks & Recreation," and Melissa McCarthy of "Mike & Molly" all nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Even though it said its goodbyes, "Breaking Bad" is still celebrating with nods for Best Drama Series along with Bryan Cranston up for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama! We must say, it is an amazing show!

Now that the 2014 Emmy nominations have been announced, who and what series do you think will win each category? We can't wait to see the red carpet fashion for the awards, but until then, we may delve into a series up for several nods that we haven't seen! Do you have a fave series up for an Emmy?
