Jena Malone Gets Emotional Performing The Shoe's "I'm Okay"

We just want to give Jena Malone a hug after watching her emotionally raw performance of The Shoe's 'I'm Okay" with Lem Jay Ignacio for National Post Sessions.

Four minutes into the first recorded performance of I’m Okay, the title track of The Shoe’s debut LP, the actress and singer Jena Malone tilted her head, closed her eyes and let a tear gently stream down the side of her face.
Asked about the emotional moment later, Malone says the spirit simply took her. “Sometimes his instrumentals kill me. It’s a beautiful thing for a song to bring you to a place that’s so authentic you get moved by it.”

Join Jena and Lem Jay for a Google Hangout tomorrow (Friday, June 27th) at 10:00am PST. You can buy The Shoe's debut album here.

President Snow Addresses Panem (aka the 'Mockingjay' Teaser Trailer)

Panem Today. Panem Tomorrow. Panem Forever. Check out the loooong awaited Mockingjay Part 1 teaser trailer! A stark white set and a very serious Donald Sutherland as President Snow addresses Panem on Capitol TV. And look who's next to The Snowster! Hijacked Peeta! Well, maybe not quite hijacked yet, but Josh Hutcherson as Peeta looking more than a little lost, eluding to much of what's been going on since we left the arena in Catching Fire. Who didn't LOSE IT when Peeta looks into the camera on the last beat?

We adore that Lionsgate is going full in-universe propaganda on this teaser and we can't wait to see what they have in store for the rest of the campaign. Yay! We LOVE it!

Please Stand By For an Important Announcement From President Snow

CITIZENS: Prepare for an important announcement. Your President addresses the nation of Panem, tonight on Capitol TV.

Stanley Tucci Talks 'Mockingjay' and Caesar Flickerman With MTV

Get More: Movie Trailers, Celebrity News

Stanley Tucci finished his work on the upcoming two-part Mockingjay a few months ago, only on set for a handful of days before putting the role of flamboyant talk show host Caesar Flickerman to bed for good. He talked with MTV's Josh Horowitz about Mockingjay, the cast, and saying goodbye to Caesar.

“In the last two, he has a bit less to do,” Tucci said. “But it was great nonetheless. They’re great movies.”

Even though his final moments with the character were brief, Tucci cherished the opportunity to sink those pearly-white teeth into Caesar one last time. 

“Those are great people, and it’s such a fun character. So much fun,” he said. “I got to know Woody Harrelson, who I adore. Josh and Jennifer, of course. The loveliest people. Lovely people.”

“I was very sad to say goodbye to them,” he continued. “You don’t always feel that way when you finish a movie.”

LISTEN: Josh Hutcherson Talks 'Mockingjay' & His Celebrity Basketball Game on Seacrest

Josh Hutcherson called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to talk about the last two installments of Mockingjay, as well as The Josh Hutcherson Celebrity Basketball Game, which takes place on August 8. This must've been pre-taped because we all know Mockingjay wrapped on Friday.

“Tomorrow is our final wrap day for all the Hunger Games,” explains Josh. “One more day, and it’s a very bittersweet ending.”

And when the wrap celebration happens, he jokes, ”I think people are going to party pretty hard. They’ve been shooting this for nine months now … we started in October last year.”

As for Josh’s Celebrity Basketball Game, the 5’7″ actor — who plays for his gay-straight alliance, Straight But Not Narrow – explained how he makes it to the hoop. “It’s a low center of gravity thing, I just make it work. You’ve got to be quick … It’s the third year we’ve done this event. And it’s getting bigger and bigger every year. And so much fun every time.”

Tickets for The Josh Hutcherson Celebrity Basketball Game go on sale today at 10 a.m. at Nike3On3.com.

And did you notice how he avoided confirming that hiccup story?
