Sam Reid Plays Bloodsucking Rock Star

Published by Daniella Wilson

Sam Reid plays the camp vampire rock star Lestat de Lioncourt looking to set the record straight after being alive and undead for 265 years in the official trailer for AMC’s The Vampire Lestat drama that dropped on Wednesday. The Interview With The Vampire series, based on the late Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles books, has been retitled for the third season, as Reid’s character looks to reclaim his centuries-old story as an immortal, yet turbulent rock star. “It’s my era. I’m a rock star now,” a strutting de Lioncourt says at one point in the stylized and fast-paced teaser trailer, with one camera angle revealing the celebrity touring performer’s boots have the word “Hate” on one sole and “Me” on the other. But, as he attempts to set the record straight with a “rewrite” of the Vampire Chronicles, de Lioncourt’s life begins to spin out of control as he is haunted by the muses from his rebellious past. “I’m immortal… I’ve been a monster. This is my reckoning,” Reid’s character cries out as AMC reveals …

At BookCon 2026, Rachel Reid, Stephanie Archer talk the success of hockey romance and the future of the genre and sport

Published by skeptic

With the fervor of Heated Rivalry, there’s a fierce desire among book readers for even more hockey. On Sunday, April 19, at BookCon, the “You Had Me at Hockey: A Look at One of Sports Romance’s Hottest Genres”, authors Rachel Reid (Heated Rivalry, Game Changer), Emily Rath (Pucking Around), Ngozi Ukazu (Check Please), Stephanie Archer (The Wild Card), and Kate Cochrane (Wake Up, Nat & Darcy) were joined by moderator and fellow author Bal Khabra (Collide) to discuss the rise and continued success of hockey romance. Khabra kicked off the panel, asking just how hockey became so popular. Ukazu joked that it was as if the genre “escaped containment,” like when the Omegaverse went mainstream, while Reid described the mystery around hockey, saying, “what [the players] are doing seems impossible.” Archer also added that the sport itself is exceptionally hard on the body, and the celebrity around players, especially in Canada, is fun to play with. But there’s more to the genre’s success than the tropes. “It has to be said,” Rath argued, “that the …

BookCon 2026: ‘Heated Rivalry’ author Rachel Reid and show creator Jacob Tierney are in conversation for the first time

Published by skeptic

The first panel at BookCon drew lines of fans an hour before its start. Fans have shown up in style. I spotted dozens of iterations of t-shirts with the faces of actors Hudson Williams and Connor Storie plastered on them. Boston Raiders, Montreal Metros, and New York Admirals jerseys are in abundance, too. 3,000 fans are here, waiting to see Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney in conversation for the first time. But while this may be the first public conversation between the Heated Rivalry author and show creator on a grand stage, it’s clear that these two have been in perfect sync since their first Zoom call. Moderated by former Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Versha Sharma, Reid and Tierney took to the stage at BookCon for a session called “Game Changing TV: Heated Rivalry.” The conversations spanned across their entire collaboration, from their very first DM to the music that makes the show, to how their lives have changed since the show aired. Tierney, whose knack for comedy shines through, discussed how the show moved at …

On Wednesday, four astronauts could launch toward the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. The crew, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch and Victor Glover and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, are set to fly on NASA’s Artemis II mission, a 10-day journey that will take them swinging around the moon. Their path through space could send the group farther from Earth than any human has ever ventured, surpassing the Apollo 13 distance record of 248,655 miles set in 1970. Though the astronauts will not land on the moon’s surface, the flight is meant to kick-start a new era of lunar exploration, paving the way for a targeted moon landing in two years. The Artemis II mission will mark the first time that NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion capsule carry human passengers. If that’s cause for any trepidation, the astronauts haven’t let it show. “The four of us, we are ready to go. The team …

In January 2024, the popular ITV daytime show was briefly derailed during a segment on plane etiquette, in which Balls and Reid were asked to sit in airplane chairs installed on the set of the show. While discussing whether it was ever appropriate to rest your feet on the chair in front of you, Balls rested his feet on the head rest of Reid’s seat, colliding with the back of her head in the process. “I think we’ve decided it’s not OK,” Reid responded, while clutching her head. “I don’t know if I can carry on doing the programme, I’m seeing stars!” In a new interview with The Telegraph, Balls and Reid discussed the incident. “I was cross,” Reid recalled. …
