Manhattan’s hottest and most scandal ridden family, “The Darlings”, came back into our lives last night with the season two premiere of “Dirty Sexy Money.”  And if last night’s episode was any indication of the drama yet to come, we are surely in for a tantalizing ride.

Opening the episode was family lawyer Nick George (and last week’s Daily Hotness) on his way to his not-such-a-surprise birthday party thrown by the Darlings.  The song “Under Pressure” by Queen is playing in the background to signify that Nick is feeling some sort of heat.  What else is new?  About 10 minutes into his party, after several rounds of awkwardness, the NYPD shows up via helicopters and ground force.  The episode now goes to 48 hours earlier.

In honor of tonight’s next week’s return of “Dirty Sexy Money”, I present to you Peter Krause: the sexy leading man who plays lawyer, Nick George, for the uber-rich, New York-based Darling family. Before this series, Krause was a staple on “Six Feet Under” as Nate Fisher and he’s done a bunch of other TV spots on famous ‘90s shows like “Spin City” and “Party of Five.”  But did you know that before majoring in English Literature in college he was pre-med? Sexy and smart…I likey. Check out other primetime hotties here.

MUSIC

Raphael Saadiq The Way I See It This soul brother’s tracks will make you swear his retro-record was recorded back in the day. The latest from a former member of 80’s R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné!, Saadiq’s put-you-in-the-mood grooves makes this one of the sexiest solo albums of the year.

We’re extremely excited about the return of either of our favorite shows this fall, but we’ve realized that a season finale refresher is in order. Hey, when our lives and our homies’ lives have real cliffhangers, we can’t be expected to remember months later what happened to our friends on TV, too. Read our updates just in time for the start of the fall TV season on September 2.
