Hollywood typically casts 20-something actors as teens, primarily due to labor laws. The Vampire Diaries was no different, with most of the cast members in their early to mid-20s when the teen drama began. By the time Tvd ended after eight seasons, its actors had aged. Ian Somerhalder was one of the oldest on the show, so how old was he while on The Vampire Diaries?

Somerhalder swooped in as the brooding and impulsive Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries in June 2009. The star was 30 when he began playing a character over a century old. But Damon had become a vampire at 25, hence his youthful appearance. That’s five years younger than Somerhalder when he debuted as the character.

A romantic-comedy at its core, “How to Make Love to a Woman” is masked at the surface as a vulgar sex-comedy. With 1990s-style ongoing sex/relationship conversations mixed with well-known who’s-that-guy-he-was-in-that-one-thing cast members spattered throughout, the film is a semi-impressive debut for its director, Scott Culver (for his control as well as for taking the risk to debut with a comedy, a well-known no-no). However, the film has some irritating set-backs, notably a sharply darting script spiced with pay-attention-to-me overacting from a few of the cast and cameos.
The film opens with Andy (Josh Myers, brother of “Saturday Night Live” star Seth Myers), an up-and-coming record producer searching for the next great musical talent. His relationship is going strong with his girlfriend Lauren (Krysten Ritter) until the night their one-year anniversary hits. After a romantic embrace, Lauren tells Andy she loves him — and Andy says nothing, which sparks friction in their relationship.

Don’t let the title, How to Make Love to a Woman (2010) fool you, this endearing film documents the lengths a boyfriend will go to satisfy his girlfriend. Stemming from a major communication misunderstanding, Andy (Josh Meyers) seeks out to pleasure his girlfriend Lauren (Krysten Ritter). This misunderstanding creates a hysterical side story with side-splitting inappropriate locker room dialogue and a guest cameo from ex-adult film star Jenna Jameson. While Andy seeks out on the quest to educate himself, Lauren is presented with a career opportunity of a lifetime by old childhood friend Daniel (Ian Somerhalder) who is there to mentor her throughout, and then some! For such an outrageously gaffe film, the actors involved were picture perfect starting with protagonist Josh Meyers. The Mad TV (TV) funnyman , Meyers proved that he can hold his own and was definitely channeling leading man qualities throughout the film. Breaking Bad (TV) star...

Sometimes movies surprise you. A cliché, I know, but bear with me a moment. Take a look at the DVD cover of How To Make Love To A Woman. Would you pick this up from a shelf filled to the brim with hundreds of other, possibly better films? I mean, the cover has the American Pie lettering and the cast striking and fronting with cheesy expressions that scream “we’re an ensemble cast for a raunchy comedy.” Actor Eugene Byrd in particular gets the worst of it, not only the lone black man on the cover but also saddled with a self-satisfied, too-cool pose.
The secret is that the film inside, written by Dennis Kao and directed by Scott Culver, doesn’t portend to be more than yet another comedy released in the aftermath of the Apatow crew's assault on Hollywood; a comedy that’s equal parts raunchy and romantic.

Jenna Jameson has conquered the world of adult film. Now, the porn superstar is trying her hand at comedy. Jameson is starring in "How to Make Love to a Woman," a new comedy co-starring Ian Somerhalder (ABC's "Lost") , Josh Meyers ("MADtv"), and Krysten Ritter ("Confessions of a Shopaholic").
The trailer has been posted on the film's official website, which features footage of Jameson in her new role. The film features a large cast of characters, including Jameson as herself, who try to help Andy (Meyers), a successful career guy, to get his girlfriend Lauren (Ritter) to achieve an orgasm.
This isn't the first time Jameson's been involved in a "How To." She's the best-selling author of "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star." She also made her feature film debut last year in the camp horror comedy, "Zombie Strippers." "How to Make Love to a Woman" hits theaters later this year.

He tries every single trick in the book to have her achieve this, and fails. Does he ever succeed?
