Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may be one of the hottest on-screen and off-screen Hollywood couples, but The Twilight Saga stars and ultimate fan favorites have competition in some fellow vampires from the small screen: Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev of the hit CW series, The Vampire Diaries. Like Pattinson and Stewart, Somerhalder and Dobrev not only are actors on the same show, they also have quite the off-camera romance and certainly hold their own on the sultry meter. And both sets of couples have also graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine. But did Edward and Bella or Damon and Elena cut the sexier cover profile?
The latest issue of EW, which features a series of three The Vampire Diaries "collector's covers," might have just pushed Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev past Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on the hotness scale. The nearly nude stars are simply smoldering as Dobrev poses in the middle of Somerhalder and co-star Paul Wesley in one version, and separately with each of the two hunky guys for the other two covers. Talk about a steamy love triangle!
Of course, The Twilight Saga's Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart held their own for several issues of Entertainment Weekly over the years. While they are more fully clothed, they still rock plenty of sexy appeal. For one of the covers, Stewart looks positively enchanting as she holds an apple (ironically, the shot would work for her current role in Snow White and the Huntsman, too!), while Pattinson embraces her.
R-Patz and K-Stew have also posed for EW with co-star Taylor Lautner, fully taking advantage of the Team Jacob versus Team Edward competition. A November 2011 issue of the magazine, promoting Breaking Dawn: Part 1, is probably one of the best of the trio, though. Kristen Stewart looks sophisticated and gorgeous, surrounded by the handsome duo of Lautner and Pattinson, with both guys flashing sexy stares.
