Come and hang out with us today at the Victory Tour 2013 Fansite Overload panel. We are honored to be included with some of our favorite fansites: Victor's Village, Mockingjay.net, HGGirlOnFire, and DownWithThe Capitol. Molly (aka Lollia Grey) will be on the panel taking questions.
Molly Fri, June 21, 2013 PopSugar put together their annual fan-voted list of the top 100 stars across music, movies, TV, politics, and more. Jennifer Lawrence came in at number 2 behind Robert Pattinson and Liam Hemsworth is number 91.
It's no big shocker that Jennifer Lawrence almost topped the list with the year she had! She rode the success of The Hunger Games into the second half of 2012 with Silver Linings Playbook, which earned her multiple accolades, including her very first Oscar for best actress. Jennifer was the darling of award season, getting glamorous on the red carpet, showing her candid side in interviews (who can forget her chat with Jack Nicholson after the Oscars?), and even maintaining composure after tripping up the Academy Awards stage steps.
Even after award season wound down, she held onto her spot as one of Hollywood's favorites with filming for the much-anticipated second Hunger Games movie, work on American Hustle, her return to the X-Men: Days of Future Past set as Mystique, and her first appearance at the Met Gala.
Jennifer Lawrence ranked 1st in the Phenoms category.
Liam Hemsworth has been getting a ton of attention ever since The Hunger Games catapulted him to major fame last year. In addition to filming the Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, with costars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson in Hawaii, Liam has also been working on several upcoming projects, including Arabian Nights and Paranoia. Liam and his fiancée, Miley Cyrus, announced their engagement last Spring, and despite a few rocky steps earlier this year, the two still remain committed to one another.

Molly Fri, June 21, 2013 Molly Fri, June 21, 2013 Fans of Woody Harrelson (Haymitch) know that the environment is a cause near and dear to his heart. He's joined forces with Prairie Pulp & Paper to launch an new wheat based, tree-free paper called Step Forward Paper. Step Forward Paper is the first paper of it's kind to hit shelves in North America and is one of the most environmentally sustainable papers available.
MTV Act spoke with Woody about his new product and snuck in a bit about The Hunger Games:
ACT: Do you try to encourage recycling and other good things for the environment while on set?
WOODY: That’s interesting you say that, because it’s my big dream, and I think it’s going to happen … that The Hunger Games 3 and 4 are going to be the most ecological sets ever. I’ll talk to you more about that when it becomes a true reality, but I think that’s what is going to happen.
It’s difficult, because I’ve got to tell you that the film industry … there is a lot of waste, and it’s not the most ecological industry, I’ll tell you that. I’ve been really wanting to see that shift, and I’m trying to do my part.
ACT: Do you think you’ve encouraged the other actors on set to be more environmentally friendly?
WOODY: Yeah, I think so. It’s all about recycling, doing composting, and instead of everybody using paper or plastic cups, for everybody to have their own individual cup, to use this non-wood paper to make all the scripts and all the rewrites and everything like that. Using biodiesel for the generators. ... It’s a big, big thing. It’s a huge production, and it’s a lot to do to try to make it green, but it’ll happen.
ACT: If you were dropped into a Hunger Games-type arena today, do you think your love of nature would help you come out as the top tribute?
WOODY: Well, yeah, of course it would. Mother Nature is going to help me out in that context. Hopefully that never happens, though!

Molly Wed, June 19, 2013 Josh Hutcherson called in to "On Air With Ryan Seacrest" this morning and one of the first things they discussed was Catching Fire!
"I think on this movie the story kind of opens up a lot. There's a lot more interesting plots that start to develop and thicken. We up the overall feel of the movie. We came the same idea of the first with, like, the overall world but just kind of bumped it up a little and made it more immersive. We stayed true to the book, as always, the characters are all fantastic. We got some amazing actors to come in - Phillip Seymour Hoffman, you know it was pretty incredible to work with all these guys."
Seacrest asked, "Fans want to know about this Katniss and Peeta relationship. Does it develop in a way that's going to have me on the edge of my fabric seat in the theater?"
"Absolutely!Absolutely! I can't divulge any kind of plot details but it's up and down. Katniss and Peeta's relationship is very complicated. It has a lot of little things that have to be worked out. It's good. People will be very, very satisfied with it and that's all I'm going to say about the relationship."
He wouldn't admit if they kissed but admited that when he kisses actresses professionaly there is a "natural stirring." Who just died?
Josh also talked about his charity basketball tournament benefitting Straight But Not Narrow and a contest he's running to for two winners attend the tournament, hang with him, AND film a PSA for SBNN with him.
