- Jena Malone Craves 'Hunger Games' Training
After the months-long tease leading up to her casting in "Catching Fire," there was no question that catching up with Jena Malone at last night's Emmy Awards would also mean at least a little bit of squeeing about how freakin' excited we are to see her play the ice-cold, steel-nerved, occasionally-nude Johanna in the "Hunger Games" sequel.
"I'm very excited as well," Jena replied.
You're excited?! No, we're excited! (Okay, we can both be excited.) And if you were wondering how she feels about the books that inspired the franchise, the answer is yes, Jena is just as big a fan of the source material as the rest of us.
"I read literally all three in like four days, and I was crying at the end," she said. "I'm really, really excited to be a part of it."
Unfortunately, Jena couldn't tell us much about the process of playing Johanna since, y'know, she's not actually playing her yet—"We'll get into it when there's more to say," she promised, explaining that for the moment her movie-related duties consist strictly of an extensive training regimen in order to get herself arena-ready.
"I'm in the thick of it," she said. And really enjoying herself, apparently! "I love that kind of stuff. 'Sucker Punch' kind of got me into a regimen and now I kind of crave it."
We'll keep an eye out for any additional tidbits from Jena as she gets busy on "Catching Fire." But in the meantime: She's getting ripped, and she's excited. And we're excited she's excited!
Are YOU excited we're excited she's excited?

Переслать - Emmys Fashion: Our 5 Favorite Looks
The small-screen stars were out in a big way last night, as Hollywood celebrated the Emmy Awards! And while some people won some statuettes and it was all very exciting, the real discussion post-event is all about who wore what and how. Which five looks made our list for best-dressed? Check it.
Every major awards show brings a handful of stars aiming for the ethereal "fairy princess" look, but nobody did it better last night than Sarah Hyland. The petite actress glowed in a dove gray Marchesa gown with a wraparound bodice and delicate silver beading in place of straps.
Red alert, y'all: Kat Dennings matched her strapless J. Mendel dress to her scarlet lips and turned every head on the red carpet. With
boobsmatte heavy gold jewelry and a gatheredboobspattern that creates a waterfall effect on theboobsfront of the dress, this was a unique and flattering look for Kat...and yes, some fashion critics entertained themselves making "wardrobe malfunction" jokes about how much her cups runneth over, but we'd never be so crass. (P.S. BOOBS.)Check out the full 2012 Emmy Awards winners list!
"Downton Abbey" star Michelle Dockery and her Louis Vuitton gown are on everyone's best-dressed list this morning, and it's not hard to see why. From the front, it's sleek and elegant; from the back, a gathered bustle adds some surprise flair! And the deep blue satin is beautiful in combination with her sleek updo and red lipstick. (Of course, Lady Mary Crawley would likely be aghast at the wrinkling across her pelvis, but modern women know that a little creasing is par for the course when you're coming to the Emmys through L.A. traffic.)
Nobody did the goddess gown better than Jessica Pare, who looked like she might've robbed her "Mad Men" character's closet for this white Jason Wu dress. With the most basic of black clutches, a big cocktail ring and a slender line of white gems on each earlobe, her un-fussy glamour was one of the night's standout looks.
We're not the first person to make an "orange crush" joke about Ginnifer Goodwin's gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gown, but man, are we in love. The intricate brocade detailing and the unusual color made this look a stunner, and Ginnifer's sleek hair and mod makeup were just right to match the vintagey vibe of the dress. And with her chic orange-toed pumps on full display, even the high-low hemline (which is my own personal most-detested trend in fashion right now) is a hit.

Переслать - Kevin Williamson Divulges His Dirty Endeavour Thoughts
Hollywood got an airshow of intergalactic proportions today as the space shuttle Endeavour embarked upon an aerial tour of California, before finally landing at LAX. Celebs from "Glee" actor Kevin McHale to Jenna Dewan-Tatum to Elizabeth Banks tweeted their excitement over spotting the shuttle, which was strapped to the back of a 747 jet. But only "Vampire Diaries" executive producer Kevin Williamson went there.
Two planes are humping each other in the LA air and it's really making me uncomfortable.
— Kevin Williamson (@kevwilliamson) September 21, 2012
Obviously, we would expect nothing less from the man who's brought us some of the most fraught love triangles in television history. Humping is something he has to keep top of mind, right?
And with that, Crushers, we wish you a good Friday and a happy weekend. See you Monday!

Переслать - 'Perks' Stars Recall Their Underwear-Clad 'Rocky Horror' Performance
There are plenty of good reasons to see Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" this weekend, but if you're looking for a few naughty reasons, we can offer up at least one: Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller in their underwear.
The film stars Logan as titular wallflower Charlie, who begins his first year of high school friendless, until upperclassmen Sam (Emma) and Patrick (Ezra) take him under their wings and introduce him to their eccentric band of misfits. One of the group's hobbies is staging a weekly production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and if you've seen the cult classic, you know the costumes are, at times, miniscule.
How did the stars feel about sauntering around onstage in their skivvies?
"We had a moment for like an hour-and-a-half before doing it, I was like, 'Look, can I just wear the bigger underwear?'" Logan recalled. "And everyone's like, 'No, it's going to ruin everything—the shock value, it's not going to be there unless you go out in a thong thing.'"
"You had to do the Speedo," Ezra agreed.
"And I'm so happy I did it," Logan admitted.
"As a generation, we have some self-image issues," Ezra continued. "That's what those days were kind of about at first."
"For sure," Emma agreed. "I said to [director] Steve, there was no one else I would get up and wear fishnet tights and a feather boa and a corset and, like, strut around on stage."
In addition to being one for all and all for one in the underwear department, Logan revealed that another aspect of the shoot went a long way toward making him feel more secure. "You know what else helped, actually surprisingly, this is going to sound really odd. It made me nervous at first, but having the audience there."
"Really!?" Emma said, astonished. "Are you kidding? That doesn't make sense to me."
"I played off the audience," Logan explained. "I was just like, 'Okay, guys. We're going to get naked now.'"
"You don't want to strip if it's not for an audience," Ezra confirmed.
Thanks, Ezra. We'll remember that the next time we feel like showing off our latest Victoria's Secret purchases.

Переслать - 'Byzantium' Star Saoirse Ronan Is Fascinated With The Idea Of 'Feeding On Human Blood'
If you value your soul—or your jugular—you best steer clear of Saoirse Ronan. The Irish actress is getting up close and very personal with the human race in a pair of upcoming film roles. In "The Host," she plays alien Wanderer, who implants herself inside an unwitting woman, taking over control. In "Byzantium," she plays vampire Eleanor, who—no surprise—enjoys slurping up pints of O-neg.
It's the latter that MTV News' Josh Horowitz quizzed Saoirse about while at the Toronto International Film Festival, and while she admitted she isn't necessarily an avid consumer of vampire mythology, she can relate to the bloodsuckers' base instincts.
"I am fascinated, like obviously so many people are, with the idea of immortality, and everlasting life, and feeding on human blood," Saoirse said.
Okaaaaaaay. But how exactly would she spend her time if she were to live forever?
"I'd definitely learn the piano like Eleanor did," she mused. "I'd want to get really good at it. Learn the drums, maybe. Learn to juggle. Join the circus. Oh my God! A vampire. I'd go to Staten Island or something. Or Coney Island, even. I'd be the freak there they'd all come to see."
Of course, one of the occupational hazards of portraying a vampire is the icky sensation of being drenched in faux blood for hours upon hours. But Saoirse was able to see the bright (albeit creepy) side of it all:
"It was a bit strange actually when I'd see myself because you forget you have it on after a while," she said. "There's a sequence in the car near the end, and Sam Riley and I are in the back of the car and Maria Doyle Kennedy is in the front, and we were in that car for about a week. So I had this blood on me the whole time, and it would get quite sticky...but they made it taste okay. I did swallow quite a bit of it. It tasted quite sweet. If blood actually tasted like that, I wouldn't mind being a vampire."

Переслать - Maggie Stiefvater's 'The Raven Boys' Flies High
For as long as Blue Sargent can remember, she's been warned that her kiss will kill her one true love. The daughter of a psychic, Blue takes this prediction to heart, never truly entertaining the idea of a romance. That is, until the Raven Boys land in her life.
Blue isn't a psychic like her mother, but she does boast a supernatural power: she magnifies energy. So each year on St. Mark's Eve, when the souls of the soon-to-be dead cross the corpse road, Blue accompanies mom Maura on her watch in order to heighten the spirits' presence. This time though, while watching with her aunt Neeve, Blue sees one of the souls for the first time. "There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve, Blue," Neeve tells her. "Either you're his true love or you killed him."
The doomed is a Raven Boy—one of the privileged elite of the prestigious Aglionby Academy. His name is Gansey (first name: Richard, a.k.a. Dick), and he has Golden Boy written all over him—all tousled locks and mesmerizing smiles. But he's also a boy consumed by a mystery. He, along with his three begrudging friends, are searching for the body of a centuries-dead Welsh king who, once found and awoken, will grant one favor.
Despite her mother's protestations that she stay away from these Raven Boys, Blue finds herself entangled in their hunt, and what they find will change all of their lives forever.
Author Maggie Stiefvater is no stranger to the YA literati, having penned such notables as "Scorpio Races" and the "Shiver" series, and "The Raven Boys" (the first in a four-part series) is a high-flying addition to her already impressive canon. Equal parts thriller and mystery, with a measured dash of romance sprinkled on top, "The Raven Boys" is an intricately layered read that will probably leave you with more questions than answers. In fact, Maggie has woven such a unique, intriguing narrative that I struggled for comparisons. Its Southern, supernatural bent hearkens somewhat to Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's "Beautiful Creatures," but that's where the similarities end.
I guess you'll just have to meet "The Raven Boys" for yourself.

Переслать - 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower': Meet Candace
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite! ...Or at least, we will be, later, when we scoot into our local theater today and see "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" on the big screen at last. But before we go to the movies, we've got to get through our rundown of all the characters who surround Charlie the wily wallflower in his fictional world. And in the spotlight this time: his sister, a complex character who remains nameless in the book but got hooked up with a name (Candace) for cinematic purposes.
Who she is: Charlie's sister starts out as a cipher whose feelings toward her brother range from indifferent annoyance to flat-out hostility. Candace has all the hallmarks of a high school success story—she's smart, engaged and high-achieving—but inside her is a core of self-loathing so powerful and poisonous that she believes she's at her best when she's being treated badly. (You know Charlie's quote from the trailer about how "We accept the love that we think we deserve"? Nobody proves it better than his sister.)
Who's playing her: Nina Dobrev, best known as the smoldering star of "The Vampire Diaries," who took a break from supernatural small-screen showbiz to test her skills in a more realistic role. (Fun fact: Nina was so devoted to landing the part that when it turned out she couldn't make room in her schedule for an in-person audition, she faked a bathroom break during another production in order to try for the part via Skype!)
Nina on Candace: "I'm playing a different character than I've played before," Nina told MTV News when we visited her on the "Perks" set. "She's more frigid, and she's a schoolgirl, and she's got straight As, and she wants to be perfect, and she's the president of like 50 clubs." And if her role, and this film, seems like a departure from Nina's past projects... well, you're right: "Every hiatus [from "Vampire Diaries"], my goal is to try something different, and this is a small part in a great fun indie that has a great script," she said. "I'm really proud to be part of it."
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" opens today in New York and L.A. theaters, expanding to other select theaters on September 28.

Переслать - 'Glee' Recap: 'Brittany 2.0'
by Melissa Albert
It proves hard for "Glee" to justify a second Britney Spears tribute episode, especially one that relies so much on mash-ups. But we'll never argue with a Brittany S. Pierce episode, even though our repeated prayers to see Mr. Figgins performing "I'm a Slave 4 U" have once again gone unanswered.
The weak setup for this Spears ep isn't dental drugs, but Brittany's sad mood: Santana's too busy at college to scissor-Skype, Sue's unimpressed with the Cheerios' performance of Spears' "Hold it Against Me," and Brittany's attempts at doing a voiceover continually fail.
Worst of all, she gets kicked out of the Cheerios, because you can only complete your homework in crayon for so long before someone notices you're not fulfilling the academic requirements. Depressed, she trades in her cheer uniform for a "Grandma at the Mall of America" ensemble, inspiring "qualified" "counselor" Emma Pillsbury to step in. She and Schue decide that what Brittany needs is another Spears week.
And the timing couldn't be better: Glee is set to perform at the upcoming pep rally, because Principal Figgins literally never learns. How much projectile vomit and simulated sex will it take to teach him that the Glee club doesn't give good pep rally?
After a choir-room mash-up of Britney's "Boys" and Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend," and a lackluster performance of "3" by Tina, Sam and Dreadlocks Joe, it's rally time. Even though Brittany is displaying classic warning signs—trying to shave her head, attacking Jacob Ben Israel, screaming at bushes—the glee kids still let her go on as soloist.
She wanders around in a sequined bikini, flagrantly slugging orange soda while lip synching Britney's "Gimme More." Scandal! Everyone figures out that the glee clubbers aren't really singing, and Brittany collapses on a bed of Cheetos.
Schue's perfect hair remains intact, thank God, as he chews out the club for this debacle—which could cause them to be disbanded (we hope Sue Sylvester is taking notes). Shamed, Brittany resigns from glee club.
But at least nobody barfed!
Over at NYADA, Rachel's rivalry with Cassie continues when she's told she's not sexy enough to dance the tango. But everything is easier to handle when you've got Kurt and a new Bushwick loft to come home to! The New York dream team gossips by the light of a candle stuck in a wine bottle, and Kurt shares his hopes of working for Vogue while waiting to reapply at NYADA. Only on primetime is a job at Vogue considered a backup plan.
Rachel learns that embittered teacher Cassie might have another motive for hating her students: Her own career is dead. She killed it the night she attacked a man with a prop bat after his phone went off during a performance of "Damn Yankees." So when Rachel's "I can do sexy!" revenge performance of "Oops!...I Did it Again" fails to wow Cassie, Rachel calls her out for being jealous and a YouTube joke.
There's that queen bee Berry we all know and love! Always winning friends and influencing people. But this isn't McKinley High. Cassie tells her she's done and kicks her out of class.
...but not for long, as it turns out NYADA isn't run entirely by alcoholic divas. Rachel gets to stay, but on probation—and Cassie reminds her that having a thin skin in theater is a one-way ticket to YouTube infamy. We sense relations thawing between Queen Cassie and Little Miss David Schwimmer.
And things are definitely heating up between Rachel and Brody, who shows up at her place with orchids, oddly unworried by the giant "FINN" heart the lovelorn Rachel's painted on the wall. He's also not too worried when his attempt to kiss her is rebuffed—he's just waiting for her to come around.
Sweetheart Marley's got it bad for dangerous Jake, even as Unique and the rest of the female student body warns her off with Britney's "Womanizer." Yep, Jake's a true mini-Puck.
Despite all the warnings, Marley meets up with him to perform an acoustic Spears/Aerosmith "Crazy" mash-up. He gives her his leather jacket after she pulls the old "I'm cold" move—which he fails to counter with the equally classic "Babe, my pants are chafing me" move. Rookie mistake, mini-Puck.
Perhaps ruing his pants failure, Jake steps up when the football jerks make fun of Marley's mom, pushing a dude's face in a vat of cafeteria food and yelling, "It's part of a balanced breakfast, bitch!" (We might have made up that last part.)
Schue hustles Jake off to the choir room...where Puck is waiting! The two brothers have a strangely non-awkward first meeting, in which Puck convinces Jake to join New Directions—because it'll make him a man in a way that even beating up a police horse will not.
Then Puck swaggers out the door and back to L.A., only mildly interested in meeting the brother he never knew he had. Classic Puckerman.
Is it just us, or is Sam crushing on Brittany? Between the two of them, they have almost half a brain, and they could combine their blond locks into one helluva mullet wig. Sam is also the ally Brittany needs with Santana out of the picture. He convinces her to begin her big comeback, which starts with demanding reinstatement as head cheerleader.
But Marley's getting nowhere with Jake—who's suddenly dating mean girl cheerleader Kitty. We don't buy those two together, but somebody's got to be the third side of the love triangle.
Marley sadly sings Britney's "Everytime," as Brittany gazes longingly at Santana's video-chat away message, Marley gazes longingly at Jake and Rachel gazes longingly at...her painted "FINN" heart. Which she finally paints over in the end.
Song of the Episode: "Womanizer" by a landslide, 'cause us and the girls of McKinley can never get too much Puckerman.
What did you think of last night's "Glee"? Are you shipping Rachel and Brody? Will Jake see the error of his ways and date Marley? Wasn't it totally weird that Puck flew all the way from L.A. for a two-minute conversation? Tell us all of your thoughts in the comments and on Twitter!
Переслать - Style Superstar: Anne Hathaway Blooms
Everything's coming up roses in this week's fashion spotlight, as some of Hollywood's finest brought out adventurous fall florals for their red-carpet appearances. From embroidered, body-climbing roses to a sheer-and-shimmering autumnal print, these fashion-forward ladies made joining the garden club seem like a chic idea. But only one can take the Style Superstar honors! Who is it?
Anne Hathaway, who showed up to the New York City Ballet gala and showed all the bunheads present just how to work a pixie cut to its elegant max. This busy print might invite "grandma's couch" jokes on another actress, but with Anne's short hair, smoky eyes and long, long neck, her Valentino Couture gown in an autumnal palette was sheer glamour—and a peek-a-boo back plus shimmering silver embroidery (you can't see it, but trust us, it's there) made this a uniquely gorgeous nighttime look.
Also working a floral look by Valentino this week: Olivia Palermo, who was pretty in pink at the Brazil Foundation Gala in New York. But while the lace overlay and delicate embroidery on her gown is stunning, the color left her looking a little washed-out, and the abrupt mid-thigh cut-off of her underslip is distracting. We admire her for trying—it's challenging to wear a dress this sheer without looking either naked or dowdy—but a full-length slip in a gauzier fabric would've really let this look shine.
