Repainted Katniss Barbie Sold for Almost 2k

Maybe you've never seen the work of master doll repaint artist Noel Cruz because realistic dolls just creep you the hell out. OK, maybe that's just me. But we'll get over our fears (and see our therapist) to show you his AMAZING repaint of the Katniss Barbie. Cruz took the pretty decent to-begin-with doll and turned her into a lifelike masterpiece, complete with a new, realistic-sized braid. Remember the Braid of Unusual Size she was sporting before?

Want one? Well, sorry, you can't have one. She sold yesterday for $1980.55 on eBay. Holy CRAP.

See more of Mr. Cruz seriously unbelievable work HERE. Yep, now I'm fascinated. He even has other Jennifer Lawrence dolls.

Photo courtesy El UniversalSeveral costumes from Catching Fire are on display at the FIDM 'Art of Motion Picture Costume Design' Exhibit in Los Angeles, including Katniss' dress from the party at Snow Mansion and Johanna Mason's Catching Fire chariot costume. The costumes, designed by Trish Summerville, are featured in the annual exhibition of over one hundred costumes from 2013 films. This year's exhibition features costumes from more than twenty films, including all five 2014 Academy Award nominees for Best Costume: American Hustle (Michael Wilkinson), The Grandmaster (William Chang Suk Ping), The Great Gatsby (Catherine Martin), The Invisible Woman (Michael O’Connor), and 12 Years a Slave (Patricia Norris).

Costume Illustration by Robin RichessonSummerville says about working with Jennifer Lawrence, "She's great, she has a tiny little waist, she's curvy and lean. She's a joy to dress, great in period pieces as well, great strong shoulders. She's very open to dialogue on the different consumes, open to trying things as you try and cram in as many shapes and silhouettes as you can."

Mockingjay dress illustration by Robin RichessonOne of the dresses on display is Katniss' mockingjay dress which is made of layers of silk chiffon and printed bird feathers-- blue birds, peacocks, bluejays and mockingbirds. Summerville worked with an illustrator as they laid out photos of feathers, compiled then into a print and transferred that onto fabric to assemble the dress.

If you're a costume buff, you can see the exhibition for free through April 26th:

Philip Seymour Hoffman's Funeral Held Today in New York

According to The Guardian, the private funeral for Philip Seymour Hoffman was held in Manhattan today and attracted a sombre audience that included Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Ethan Hawke, Louis CK, Ellen Burstyn and Spike Lee. The list of mourners also included Michelle Williams, Julianne Moore, Joaquin Phoenix, Mary Louise Parker, John Slattery, Jerry Stiller, Marisa Tomei, Diane Sawyer and her director husband, Mike Nichols.

The ceremony was being held at the Church of St Ignatius Loyola, the same limestone church that hosted the funerals of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Lena Horne and Aaliyah. The 1898 Baroque-style marble interior is reminiscent of a Roman basilica.

A larger memorial service is being planned for later this month. On Thursday evening, family and close friends gathered for a private wake at the Frank E Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan.

The theatre community mourned the actor on Wednesday with a candlelit vigil outside his beloved Labyrinth Theatre Company and Broadway’s marquee lights were turned off for a minute.
