Angry Overheating AGAIN!!!

So I was on my way to the local chapter Autox, when lining for toll, I noticed traces of steam and the temp gauge going up.......FAST! Luckily I didn't let it overheat to the point of.......no return.
SO I pulled over and let the car cool.
I'm not sure what could be this time, not even running the AC (fan comes on) helped the cooling.
I also noticed that this time I couldn't get the any heat inside the car.
I replaced the thermostat (which failed open) and also the water pump back in April.
Any ideas?
I'm thinking the thermostat failed again.......but if it stays closed, no overheating issue; if it stays closed, I will be able to get heat inside.
The only other thing I could think of is the stupid water pump.
So, I had it towed back to home......did not want to risk blowing a head gasket.
