Everyone here at Heroes and Heartbreakers has at least experienced the vampire sensation that is Lestat. You might even say that some of us are some pretty major fans. So when we saw this news break that Tom Hiddleston would be playing a love lorn, muscian vampire in the upcomming Cannes film Only Lovers Left Alive we were a bit exicted.

From the looks of these two clips it looks like we may be finally getting more of what we love. Of course we are all also excited for any excuse to have more Tom Hiddleston in our lives, at least until Thor: The Dark World comes out. What do you think?

Pitch Perfect is one of those movies that you turn on and think “whatever, it has (insert actress or thing you are watching it for), I'll just turn it on for a second...”, two hours later you are totally sucked in and want to be Fat Amy's friend, played by Rebel Wilson, and learn the cup song. If you were desperate for more songs, more Anna Kendrick, and most importantly, more Rebel Wilson then prepare yourself for the sequel!

We left off with the Barden Bellas right after they had won Nationals with a thrilling performance of a mash-up. What are we likely to see in the sequel due out in 2015? Rebel Wilson and Anna Kendrick will undoubtedly be returning and the sequel can go one of two ways: following the antics of the remaning Bellas after their big Nationals win, or post-college-life. We know that Brittany Snow's character is likely heading off to New York or Los Angeles to pursue a career in music or broadway and we know that Anna Kendrick's gothic Beca wanted to become a producer in L.A. My hope is to find Beca in Los Angeles dealing with the trials and tribulations of the music industry, but who knows which way it'll go. What do you think? What do you hope to see in the Pitch Perfect sequel?

Justin Timberlake was a '90s heartthrob and reinvented himself with a solo career as a triple threat—actor, dancer, and singer. This week marked a big week for him: He hosted Saturday Night Live for the fifth time last week, was on Jimmy Fallon every night, and March 15 marked the release of his third album, The 20/20 Experience. With all of these accomplishments in just one week, plus his marriage earlier this year, 2013 is looking pretty good for JT—but what's even better is him in this wet T-shirt (really, why aren't there more wet T-shirt contests for men?). Enjoy!

In need of some sexy reading material to fill your e-reader? I’m here for you. Each month I will bring you an assortment of erotic pleasure reads to tempt your palate—and your credit card....

March may roar in like a lion and come out like a lamb, much like this month’s erotic offerings, but I can guarantee that is no lamb-like behavior to be found anywhere in these books.

Beyond Control by Kit Rocha

My #1 rec! The second installment of Kit Rocha’s dark and erotic dystopian series promises to fire up your e-reader and scorch your hands with some of the most delicious, filthiest, explicit sex scenes combined with tough as nails alpha heroes and heroines. You can read chapter one at Kit Rocha's site.

She refuses to be owned.

Alexa Parrino escaped a life of servitude and survived danger on the streets to become one of the most trusted, influential people in Sector Four, where the O’Kanes rule with a hedonistic but iron fist. Lex has been at the top for years, and there’s almost nothing she wouldn’t do for the gang…and for its leader. Lie, steal, kill—but she bows to no one, not even Dallas O’Kane.

He’ll settle for nothing less.

Dallas fought long and hard to carve a slice of order out of the chaos of the sectors. Dangers both large and small threaten his people, but it’s nothing he can’t handle. His liquor business is flourishing, and new opportunities fuel his ambition. Lex could help him expand his empire, something he wants almost as much as he wants her. And no one says no to the king of Sector Four.

Falling into bed is easy, but their sexual games are anything but casual. Attraction quickly turns to obsession, and their careful dance of heady dominance and sweet submission uncovers a need so deep, so strong, it could crush them both.

[The sexy doesn't stop there...]

Rainbow Rowell
Eleanor & Park
St. Martin's Press / February 26, 2013 / $18.99 print, $9.99 digital

Bono met his wife in high school, Park says.

So did Jerry Lee Lewis, Eleanor answers.

I’m not kidding, he says.

You should be, she says, we’re 16.

What about Romeo and Juliet?

Shallow, confused, then dead.

I love you, Park says.

Wherefore art thou, Eleanor answers.

I’m not kidding, he says.

You should be.

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love—and just how hard it pulled you under.

True story: After reading Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park, I immediately went in search of any previous books by Rowell (Attachments) and details for her next book, Fangirl (out later this year). This book triggered the urge to glom, majorly, not to mention the urge to list it as one of my top 3 favorite books of 2012. So what did it?

[Do tell!...]

~I once picked up a mystery novel solely based on the fact that it happened in a theater that may have been haunted. I was between productions and wanted a small taste of the world I wasn't experiencing on a nightly basis. The main characters were not part of the acting company, so they had to have people and positions often explained to them. I remember laughing out loud as some of the job descriptions sounded like they were pulled out of a high school level book of “so you want to work in theater” and then these people promptly acted in ways that were convenient for the novel, but didn't suit who they should be if they really were that role, that position. It was then I decided to avoid the entire theory of theater in books.

Reading romance made it very hard to avoid that idea. Desolate dukes patronize opera singers. The theater is the place to be seen and to trade the latest gossip. Theater, and all the cast of characters involved, started creeping back into my reading. Most of the incidentals were never developed enough for me to object, and before I knew it I was picking up novels with deeper theater roots. Some were more well done than others, but three stick out. These three had a very different approach to my profession playing out in between princes and dukes dodging death or magistrates tackling the seedy underworld.

[Let the show begin!...]

I think the time has come to have a little talk about Glee. Now in its fourth season—returning to screens this evening after a six-week hiatus—the once-hit Fox show is still burning up the iTunes charts and selling McKinley High merchandise as well as, like, Chevys to fans far and wide. True, its ratings have dropped significantly (and unsurprisingly, as shall be addressed anon) from the halcyon days of the first season, and its triumphant coming out party after the 2009 Superbowl, or its subsequent Madonna and Britney episodes (not to mention its Joss Whedon-directed one). But with its off-air revenue keeping pace with its ad buys, not to mention the role it plays in bringing many a forgotten/undiscovered/unappreciated/indie artist to the masses, it would be a foolish network indeed that would mess with a good thing.

Here’s why that’s a bad thing.

[Please tell us!...]

Everybody wants what they haven’t got on this week’s Nashville.

(Missed an episode? Catch up with Tara's recaps of the Nashville pilot, episode 1.02, episode 1.03, episode 1.04, episode 1.05, episode 1.06, episode 1.07, episode 1.08, and episode 1.09.)

The tour (brilliantly titled Red Lips, White Lies—though it irked me that Rayna wasn’t wearing red lipstick!) finally kicks off with an awkward press conference where Rayna and Juliette are barely veiling their snipes at each other, much to the reporters’ glee. But both ladies are preoccupied by the men in their lives. Sean won’t sign the divorce papers Juliette served him with, and in fact counters by serving her with a summons for an annulment hearing. Rayna’s trying to make the new guitar player into a partner on stage, quite obviously missing Deacon. She’s not really missing her husband on the other hand, as she decides not to fly home for the results of his suddenly impending election night.

[Finally, an election that sped right on by!...]

*******SPOILERS*******

We’re back! And hold on to your rhinestones, because more happens in the teaser before the credits in tonight’s episode than in all eight of the previous episodes combined, I think. This is Nashville on speed, y’all! Yeehaw!

(Missed an episode? Catch up with Tara's recaps of the Nashville pilot, episode 1.02, episode 1.03, episode 1.04, episode 1.05, episode 1.06, episode 1.07, and winter finale episode 1.08)

You know how we waited and waited for the damn tour to get off the ground? Well now it’s happening in THREE DAYS! Who knows how everyone is going to be prepared in that short of time since they seem to just be deciding it now, but hey, that’s television for you!

Rayna, who was only ever lukewarm on the tour, is suddenly just raring to go, but there’s a hold-up….that wacky Juliette is late to record the actual vocals for that kickass live duet they did. But she has a pretty good reason—she’s off in Vegas consummating her quickie marriage to QB1! Oh, those crazy kids. I bet you thought they’d drag that sucker out for the entire rest of the season, eh? Wrong! But our not-so-blushing bride assures Glenn that she’s not an idiot and there was a prenup. That’s my girl.

[You did have us worried for a second, though, Juliette...]

*******SPOILERS*******

One step forward, two steps back. After last week’s quite good episode, this week’s midseason finale feels somewhat anticlimactic with not a lot of real forward moment and a pretty lame cliffhanger.

(Missed an episode? Catch up with Tara's recaps of the Nashville pilot, episode 1.02, episode 1.03, episode 1.04, episode 1.05, episode 1.06, and last week's episode 1.07.)

Rayna’s riding high on the success of her duet with Juliette, even wrangling a promise from Marshall that he’ll release her next album. It’s all champagne dreams and caviar wishes until buzzkill Teddy comes in looking grim and the party’s over. He tells her they better go home and talk, where (in front of some seriously creepy portraits of their girls) he divulges that Coleman has some photos that look like he had an affair with Peggy, but he assures her he didn’t. She believes him, but is none too pleased.

[Don't blame her at all...]

**********SPOILERS**********

Nashville finally seems to be—forgive the pun—settling into a groove. The pacing is much quicker now, and even though some scenes do get a bit repetitive and bogged down, episodes six and seven have had a lot more forward momentum.

(Missed an episode? Catch up with Tara's recaps of the Nashville pilot, episode 1.02, episode 1.03, episode 1.04, episode 1.05, and last week's episode 1.06.)

Rayna’s in the studio with Liam, jazzed about her new sound. So much so that she decides she’ll close the upcoming anniversary concert for her label at the legendary Ryman Auditorium with one of her new songs. She’s all sassy rebel and attitude. Well, yee haw!

Juliette, meanwhile, is jazzed about her new man. She and QB1 Sean are making out when Glenn pulls her aside to let her know Sean’s fans are holding her responsible for his poor passing. (Hey there, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo circa 2007!). Marshall wants to see her personally. Poor Juliette. Everybody’s just pissing on her parade.

[And it only makes us like her more...]

I love a good title. And this week's Nashville had a good one: “You're Gonna Change (or I'm Gonna Leave).” Since that kind of summed up my general disappointment with the show for the past few weeks, I'm so glad it took its own advice. For the first time since the pilot, last night's Nashville showed signs of growth and forward momentum, as well as both of its leading ladies being pretty awesome. Good job, show. More of this please.

(Missed an episode? Catch up with Tara's recaps of the Nashville pilot, episode 1.02, episode 1.03, episode 1.04, and last week's episode 1.05.)

We open with a refreshingly humorous scene at a fundraiser for the Nashville zoo. Juliette isn't pleased about three weeks of publicity penance, gritting through a smile to her publicist Makena, “If any of these adorable baby animals take a crap on me, I'm gonna be veeery upset.” Rookie NFL quarterback Sean Butler, basically the Finn Hudson of Nashville, is the host of this shindig and he introduces himself to Juliette, who's not feeling the goody-two-shoes image he projects. (She's even less endeared to him when he thrusts a small animal at her and it promptly tries to start eating her hair extensions.) Nevertheless Makenna notices Juliette's Facebook likes soar after her animal encounter and thinks Sean's a good prospect for a publicity date/fauxmance, sending them out for dinner together. Since our jaded Juliette can't get over the teetotaling, homebody Sean, she decides she needs to corrupt him, whisking him off to South Beach because...well, like she says, “We're young, we're hot, and I have a jet.” Hard to argue with that.

[So we won't!...]

*****SPOILERS*****

Y’all, can we talk? Because Nashville has a big problem, and its name is Rayna James. I’m not sure how they managed it, but in just five episodes, this show did the impossible: They made Connie frakkin’ Britton unlikable!

OK, well, not Connie herself, but Rayna has just become so much less compelling than I hoped and expected her to be. She’s ostensibly the lead of the show, but Rayna never seems to do much of anything. Except be angsty and indecisive and more than a bit entitled. I think the last time she did anything really likable and worth rooting for was in the pilot episode when she told her label bosses to kiss her backside (and in retrospect, even that comes off as a bit more spoiled than triumphant).

(Missed an episode? Catch up with Tara's recaps of the Nashville pilot, episode 1.02, and episode 1.03)

[What's up with you, Rayna?...]

Last night’s Nashville had plenty of drama, but not a lot of good old fashioned sense or logic. There was some serious head-scratching action as we picked up with the fallout of Juliette’s little klepto incident and Rayna’s endless inner turmoil.

(Missed an episode? Catch up with Tara's recaps of the Nashville pilot, episode 1.02, and episode 1.03)

It’s starts all well and good, with Rayna and Deacon between the sheets, making out and marveling at how much they’ve “missed this.” Of course they’re just getting to the good part when reality intrudes and Rayna wakes up to her husband calling her name. She sighs the heavy sigh of confliction and then we flit on over to Juliette’s mansion where reality is likewise trying to intrude in the form of two cops at her door. She thinks they’re joking when they tell her about the now-infamous video, and even when she views it herself, her only comment is “Four million views, not bad.” Seems Juliette is taking the old “any publicity is good publicity” approach, though her manager Glenn is less than impressed as he’s dealing with all the bad press. He calls in her big-wig publicist (“Isn’t she busy with Kristen Stewart?” Juliette snits.) who promptly sets up an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts (Hi, Robin!) so that a curiously resistant Juliette can make a statement.

[Uhhhh, are we sure that's a great idea?...]

**********SPOILERS**********

So..is it me or did not a lot happen this week? We learned a bunch more about Rayna and Juliette’s respective daddy and mommy issues, but I’m about ready for SOMEONE’s tour to get under way and I don’t care much whose it is.

(Missed an episode? Catch up with Tara's recap of the Nashville pilot and of episode 1.02.)

Really, I’m just not sure how many more scenes we need to watch of Deacon being torn and Rayna being torn. At least, Juliette is not torn. She very decisively wants Deacon on her tour and when her manager Glenn fails to make that happen, she throws around a few ultimatums. To start, if Deacon wants their duet from last week's “Undermine” to be on the album, he needs to get his butt into the studio.

It just so happens he’s getting a bit tired of being strung along as Rayna first ignores him and then hems and haws about what kind of songs they should sing on their small-scale tour. (I’m sure the tour manager didn’t help, running down their stops and stressing “a lot of overnights” and the new tour bus’s “nice master suite.” Mmm hmm.) Scared of what the Bluebird performance stirred up, Rayna tries to backpedal suggesting they do their bigger hits rather than their earlier intimate stripped-down stuff. Deacon calls her on it, asking if she’s freaked.

[I'm gonna take a wild guess and say: YES...]

October offers spooky tidings as we learn that monsters often wear the faces of angels and letting go of our fear can bring about our demise...or our salvation.

Hear Me (Dark Erotica #3) by Skye Warren

Mention Skye Warren and most readers will say, “Oh yes, she’s a dark horse.” Her Dark Erotica series crosses all lines and boundaries, introducing the tortured heroes and heroines who fight their way out of the muck and mire of a sex ring in ways that defy the traditional HEA and leave you wondering if the rescue was an improvement over the captivity.

She doesn’t remember her past, only her training. She can’t talk, not that a good slave should speak out of turn. None of that matters when she wakes up in the warm, rustic room. Her new master is distant but kind. There’s only one problem: he doesn’t want her.

Longing for the shackles of safety, she pulls from the last dregs of her will to prove her worth as a slave. It seems to be working. He responds first to her body and next to her submission. The secrets of his past haunt the cabin, fraying the tightening bond between Master and slave, but it is her own memories that may finally unravel it.

[Heavy stuff...]

American Horror Story premiered its second season on October 17. The content is gritty and terrifying...and usually not our bag here at Heroes and Heartbreakers. However, when we heard that Adam Levine was going to be making his acting debut in the premiere we definitely wanted to tune in. For those of you who did watch, you may have noticed a very promiscuous Levine in the first 5 minutes—and not too bad acting.

It got us to thinking of other musicians who have taken the plunge into acting and so we compiled a few of our favorites. A young Mark Wahlberg (back when he was known as Marky Mark), Mos Def, and Justin Timberlake round out our list.

Enjoy these scrumptious men, and be thankful for more exposure of their...assets.

[They can sing to me any time!]
