Shiarra Waynest Talks About Celebrity Crushes
By Jess Haines
Hello there! Jess Haines here. I’m the author of the urban fantasy H&W Investigations series (HUNTED BY THE OTHERS, TAKEN BY THE OTHERS, and the upcoming DECEIVED BY THE OTHERS). I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to some of the cast—Shiarra Waynest, the lead character, Sara, her business partner, Chaz, her on-and-off werewolf boyfriend, Arnold, a mage who lends her a hand, and Alec Royce, a vampire Shiarra meets in the course of her adventures.
Shiarra is going to tell you a little bit about her celebrity crushes. Over to you, Shia!
____________________
Shiarra: I have to admit, I’m a little uncomfortable talking about this.
Chaz: Why? It’s just a crush. Not like you’re actually going to boink them.
Shiarra: Chaz!
Chaz: What?!
Sara: Hah! Well, I think Tom Cruise is cute. He has an adorable smile.
Shiarra: Ew, really?
Sara: What? He does!
Royce: I’ve become rather fond of that redhead who plays Jessica on True Blood. Deborah Ann Woll, I believe her name is.
Arnold: Yeah. She’s cute.
Shiarra: Oh, yeah, Alexander Skarsgard in a uniform is pret—wait a sec, you watch True Blood?
Royce: Of course. It’s rather amusingly inaccurate, but entertaining, nonetheless.
Chaz: Creepy leech.
Royce: Tell me you don’t have your own guilty pleasures, dog, and look me in the eye when you say it.
Chaz: I didn’t say that. I just think it’s weird for an Other to watch a TV show about fake Others.
Arnold: It’s not that weird. I like that show, too.
Chaz: Am I the only person here who doesn’t watch it?
*cricket chirp*
Chaz: Christ.
Shiarra: Language.
Chaz: …sorry.
Arnold: I like Katee Sackhoff. She was hot in that Battlestar Galactica remake.
Chaz: Angelina Jolie is smokin’. Oh, and Megan Fox! I’d bang that like a screen door.
Shiarra: CHAZ!
Chaz: What?!
Royce: No need to be so crude in front of your girlfriend. She might take offense and turn to someone else for comfort.
Shiarra: Not in a million years, you perv. Stop smiling like that!
Royce: You know it’s only a matter of time, Ms. Waynest.
Shiarra: Yeeeeeah—no.
Sara: Hey, what about you? Alexander Skarsgard and who else?
Shiarra: I don’t know. Robert Pattinson, maybe?
Sara: Oh, ugh, are you serious? He looks so unwashed!
Shiarra: Cripes, you didn’t hear me go off about Tom Cruise!
Arnold: I’m a dude, and even I could do better than that.
Royce: Oh, really? This I must see.
Arnold: How about Jason Momoa?
Shiarra: Ew, the man with the moobs? No way! I’d take Sean Bean or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau over moobie-man any day.
Chaz: Moobs?
Shiarra: You know, man-boobs.
Sara: Like that one guy from the support group in Fight Club. Ohh, speaking of which, Brad Pitt was hot in that movie.
Shiarra: Oh, oh, I thought of another one! Ryan Reynolds!
Sara: Paul Rudd!
Shiarra: Richard Gere!
Sara: Older dudes? Sean Connery! Actually, never mind.
Chaz: I think we’re done here.
Shiarra: Josh Hartnett! Ryan Phillippe!
Sara: Sam Trammell!
Shiarra: Ryan Kwanten! Hell, any of the main male characters from True Blood.
Chaz: Girls. We. Are. Done.
Shiarra: Damn it, I was just getting on a roll.

Oh, ugh, are you serious? He looks so unwashed!
LOLOL I love the Others. Especially when you have them engage in reg conversation.

My hero crush is Thor right over on the right hand side bar….mighty hammer and all. Thanks for the giveaway!
July 6, 2011 at 12:23 pm
Does Devon have nice moobs? I’m sad he was left out of the conversation.
July 6, 2011 at 12:46 pm
Okay, my celeb crush is definitely Daniel Craig. I so would not kick him out of my bed for eating crackers! Too bad he just married my husband’s crush, Rachel Weisz. Grrr…
July 6, 2011 at 1:11 pm
My husband seems to think the only reason I watch True Blood is because of Alexander Skarsgard. I really do like the show…and well, he might be right.
Thank you for the giveaway!
July 6, 2011 at 1:13 pm
My hero crush is Matthew Macfadyen (Mr Darcy, Pride and prejudice 2006).
July 6, 2011 at 1:13 pm
This guy wasn’t on my radar until he appeared in season 2 of True Blood – Eggs aka Mehcad Brooks. He is so damn sexy. The body, the face, those LIPS! *sigh* I have a serious hard on for him. I think my crush on him is widely known throught the twitterverse and blogosphere. And I am not ashamed!
July 6, 2011 at 1:33 pm
I love Harry Connick Jr.!!!! He’s gorgeous, and boy can the man sing. Hugh Jackman is another and the list goes on. I loved the post and thanks for the contest!
July 6, 2011 at 1:51 pm
Definitely Alex O’Loughlin, Taylor Lautner, and Shemar Moore. That is one sexy chocolate god! But there are the older men that may seem abit creepy when you think about it because of their age, but sometimes you can’t help it. Like…Gary Oldman, David Thewlis, and Alan Rickman. Now, that man has one mouth watering voice. Thanks for the contest and hope I win!

Then there are the older men I could go with but would seem kind of creepy with how old I am and hold they are. But there’s Gary Oldman, David Thewlis, and Alan Rickman. Now that man can melt chocolate with his voice alone. Love the intereview, and thanks for the contest. Hope I win!
July 6, 2011 at 1:55 pm
that was funny! Jensen Ackles (sp?) Dean from Supernatural!!
thanks for the chance to win. This is truly a kick ass UF series.
July 6, 2011 at 2:18 pm
This looks like a wonderful urban fantasy series. I am glad I discovered it.
My celebrity crushes are professional hockey players. I appreciate their skills and looks
July 6, 2011 at 2:37 pm
I have many celbrity crushes, but Ryan Reynolds is my number one. I swear I’ve been in love with him since he was on Fifteen years and years ago. He is so hot!
July 6, 2011 at 2:47 pm
I’m married to my chocolate hubby, but I have two vanilla hubbies, Justin Hartley and Alexander Skarsgaard and a mocha hubby, Shemar Moore. I also crush on Jason Isaacs and Alan Rickman. Oh yes, Idris Elba…Yes, I know, I’m shameless! Hope I win!
July 6, 2011 at 2:47 pm
I’d be the meat in a Brangelina sandwich any day.
July 6, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Sam Elliott!
July 6, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Ooooh, What a fun post! Moobs, I’d play with Jason’s moobs all day. Alex Skarsgard could join that party, as well as Jon Huertas. Johnny Depp needs me to bathe him and Mark Ruffalo really wants me to rub up on his hairy chest.
July 6, 2011 at 3:51 pm
I can’t believe Shia dissed the moobs!!!! ;p
July 6, 2011 at 4:10 pm
Clive Owen, Gerry Butler, Hugh Jackman are just a few of my favs!
July 6, 2011 at 4:32 pm
I would say Clive Owen, George Clooney, Russell Crowe, and Colin Farrell.

Definately have to include Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Shamar Moore. Many others but those are two that I can think of right now!
July 6, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Hugh Jackman & I adored Harrison Ford in the Star Wars & Indiana Jones era. I think it was the smart ass humor that got me.
July 6, 2011 at 7:34 pm
My celebrity crush is Gerard Butler! Hottie, hottie, hottie!!!
July 6, 2011 at 7:53 pm
I’d choose Gerard Butler as my number one crush, but I also love Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery. And after seeing Thor, I’d add Chris Hemsworth to the list as well.
July 6, 2011 at 10:27 pm
I forgot about Johnny!!!! Even my 15 year old says he is “hot” for an old guy
July 6, 2011 at 9:27 pm
Even though it’s been said, my favorite celeb crush would have to be Alexander Skarsgard. who wouldn’t love him?! I’d gladly be his any day…
Thanks a bunch for hosting an awesome giveaway!
July 6, 2011 at 9:29 pm
I just finished Deceived by the Ohers and really liked it. Can’t wait for the next one. This one left some issues unresolved and I look forward to seeing how the relationships progress.
July 6, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I’m currently digging Tadd on So You Think You Can Dance. That’s sort of a celebrity; he IS on TV. It’s also weird that I generally don’t like blondes, or cradle robbing, but I secretly love Bradley James. That’s Prince Arthur on the show Merlin for the non-dorks.

Hmm, I’ve got a bit of a celebrity crush on Robert Downy Jr, and Bradley Cooper. Yum.

I love Matt Damon – it must be something about the roles he plays
July 7, 2011 at 6:26 am
Love the entertaining post! So funny to ‘hear’ the characters, esp talking about ‘Fake others’ LOL. Celebrity hot-ness : defn Ryan Reynolds! (Green Lantern was a very lame movie, but at least Reynolds is partially unclothed.) Oh and Thor aint half bad either. Which reminds me – if you wondered what would happen in a real live showdown between the two? Read this…
Thanks for the great giveaway.

My celebrity crush? Sheesh, where to start? Probably ASkars. He’s the one currently starring in most of my daydreams. Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, RPattz, Kellan Lutz, Robert Downey Jr, Chris AND Liam Hemsworth, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy… I really could go on all day. What can I say? I’ve been boy crazy since birth.
