<p><strong>Saturday, March 10, 2012<br />
7:00 pm PT<br />
Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills</strong><br />
In Person</p>

<strong>Paul Wesley</strong>, “Stefan Salvatore”<br />

<p>“I shot a hybrid in the back and chopped his head off with a meat cleaver. Typical Sunday, huh?” So says one of the denizens of Mystic Falls, and his assessment of just one of the increasingly unsettling supernatural events wreaking havoc in this small Virginia town in which The Vampire Diaries takes place is spot on. Now in its third season, Diaries continues the story of the Salvatore Brothers, feuding bloodsuckers both in love with Elena Gilbert, as each of them tries to put a stop to the most feared of vampires, Klaus, in his quest for unprecedented power. A key contributor to the current craze for love and intrigue among the walking dead, Diaries remains the CW’s most highly rated series. </p>

<blockquote><p>Whether he’s <a href="http://www.wetpaint.com/the-vampire-diaries/articles/10-causes-ian-somerhalder-wants-you-to-care-about#1">tweeting about freeing a caged tiger</a> or crusading for sled dogs, The Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) is a tireless advocate for the world’s furry creatures. His fans and Twitter followers aren’t the only ones who have noticed. The Humane Society will honor Ian on March 24 at their annual Genesis Awards with one of its most prestigious honors, The Wyler Award. Every year, the honor “is bestowed on a celebrity or public figure for raising awareness of animal issues via the media,” according to the press release.</p>
<p>In a statement, Ian said, “The tireless efforts of The Humane Society of the United States to protect animals around the world has always been an inspiration to me and I’m honored to be recognized with this year’s Wyler Award.” Sir Paul McCartney, Hayden Panettiere, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, and Kristin Davis are all past recipients of the award. </p>
<p>According to HSUS senior director Beverly Kaskey, “Ian is the epitome of a new kind of advocate who leverages his fame and an array of media platforms to draw public attention to animal protection concerns and other issues that he cares deeply about.”</p>
<p>Congratulations again to Ian and his charity, the <a href="http://www.isfoundation.com/">Ian Somerhalder Foundation</a>, for their tireless efforts to save the earth’s animals.
