Suzanne Collins Named one of the 50 Most Powerful Moms

Just in time for Mother's Day, Working Mother has put The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins on their 50 Most Powerful Moms list.

From Working Mother:

Suzanne Collins

[Entertainment/Literature]

Author of the Hunger Games Series

Children: 2 Kids

A former writer for children’s television, this talented and wildly successful writer mom worked on Clarissa Explains it All and Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! before trying her hand at children’s books. Her first series, The Underland Chronicles, sold well enough to pave the way for her next series, the multimillion-selling book and movie series, The Hunger Games. Now living in Connecticut with her husband and two children, Suzanne seems to favor a low, grounded profile. We’ll see if she can keep that going when her new book, Year of the Jungle, hits shelves sometime this year!

Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks attended the Costume Institute Gala for the PUNK: Chaos to Couture exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2013 in New York City.

Our favorite Jennifer quote of the night? When asked if she'd ever gone through a punk phase Jennifer replied, "No, I didn't have a punk phase. I'm supposed to say yes but, no. I was a cheerleader."

Sam Claflin one of VH1's 20 Hot Guys You Need to Know in 2013

While we think he's much more than just a pretty face, VH1 Celebrity has named Sam Claflin one of the 20 Hot Guys You Need to Know in 2013.

From VH1 Celebrity:

2013 Projects To Watch: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Nov 22) 

Why Is He Hot This Year?: He's playing fan favorite Finnick Odair in Catching Fire, which is a role that could make him the most beloved teen heartthrob since Robert Pattinson, or could invoke the ire of fans everywhere if he messes it up.

Things To Know About Him: He has a history of playing the "blank" hot guy in action films like Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Snow White and the Huntsman, but his performance in the BBC's Any Human Heart suggests he can go deeper than just being the "hot guy" if given the chance and material.

Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks To Attend Met Costume Institute Gala

Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks are rumored to be on the exclusive guest list of the annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, fashion’s party of the year, Monday, May 6, 2013.

From The New York Times:

While the museum will not confirm who will attend until Monday night, things do tend to leak. As usual, the star power will be overwhelming, and while things can always change, those rumored to be coming (spoiler alert!) include Jennifer Lopez with Michael Kors, Gwyneth Paltrow with Valentino, and Jennifer Lawrence and Marion Cotillard with Dior. Alexander Wang is said to be working on a custom Balenciaga look for Julianne Moore.

Some dates are sure to become talking points, like Debbie Harry and Nicki Minaj with Tommy Hilfiger, or the Fanning sisters, Elle and Dakota, with the Mulleavy sisters, Kate and Laura, of Rodarte. Joseph Altuzarra is bringing Allison Williams, Brian Atwood has Elizabeth Banks, Christopher Kane has Stella Tennant, and Peter Copping has Carolyn Murphy. Emma Roberts is attending with Diane von Furstenberg, Jessica Alba with Tory Burch, and Jaime King and Julianne Hough will be the guests of Topshop.
