Liam Hemsworth leaving the after party at Kensington Roof Gardens

Various sources are reporting that Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth were at the Coldplay concert at Royal Albert Hall in London last night. When the concert was over the crew moved over to Kensington Roof Gardens for an after party. Liam and Jen were photographed leaving Kensington Roof Gardens but we haven't spotted any pics of Josh there yet. We're not posting the pap pics of Jennifer here as she clearly looks very unhappy to be photographed in the photos.

Jennifer Lawrence Tops Forbes List of Most Powerful Actresses

Photo by Arthur Mola/Invision/APJennifer Lawrence ranks 12th on Forbes annual Celebrity 100 power list, and #1 on their Power Actress List this year. Forbes' Celebrity 100 measures earnings and fame to rank the 100 most powerful celebrities in the worlds of movies, TV, books, sports, music and modeling. Earnings estimates are based on dozens of conversations with agents, producers, lawyers and other in-the-know folks. The Power Actress list is derived from the Celebrity 100.
From Forbes:
Action heroes don’t always have to be men. That’s the lesson actress Jennifer Lawrence is teaching Hollywood, $1 million at a time. As Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movies, she fights for her life against a tyrannical government without spending much time worrying about which boy she’s going to choose. Her butt-kicking ways have helped the franchise earn $1.5 billion so far with two more movies on the way.
She also showed off her action chops in the recent X-Men: Days of Future Past. As shape-shifting mutant Mystique, Lawrence had plenty of fight scenes and her star power helped make the movie the highest-grossing of the X-Men films with $700 million at the global box office so far.
Oh, and Lawrence can also act. Just 23 years old, Lawrence has been nominated for three Academy Awards. She won the Best Actress award in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook.
That combination of action hero and award-winning actress makes Jennifer Lawrence the most powerful actress in Hollywood right now. We estimate that she earned $34 million between June 2013 and June 2014. Lawrence ranks 12th on our Celebrity 100 power list, which makes her the highest-ranked actress.

The Capitol PN Releases a New Still of Peeta + Introduces Capitol Concerns

The Capitol PN added an eerie image of Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark to their formerly solo portrait of Donald Sutherland as President Snow. It was chilling to check the site this morning and see Peeta added! We're loving the way they're marketing this film. It's truly making us feel like a citizen of Panem, getting propaganda straight from The Capitol. And if you've been with us from the beginning and have explored our site, you know that's RIGHT up our alley.

The Capitol PN also introduced a new feature today: Capitol Concerns, "an open forum to submit questions, suggestions, and concerns for immediate review and timely resolution" from The Capitol and President Snow himself. We have a feeling that your concerns will be given the UTMOST attention. Perhaps after submitting your concern you'll be brought directly to The Capitol for further "discussion." Hmmm.

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!

Stanley Tucci Talks 'Mockingjay' and Caesar Flickerman With MTV

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?

The Capitol PN Relaunches With District Heroes Propaganda

 

TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE PROUD MEN AND WOMEN WHO LIVE AND BREATHE THEIR DISTRICTS. TODAY WE ARE ONE PANEM

We've been waiting to find out what was going to happen at The Capitol.PN since that hypnotizing spinning Capitol symbol first appeared there last Friday. Today, TheCapitol.PN relaunched with a bang - and some incredibly well-done Mockingjay propaganda District Heroes posters.

Our initial thoughts of, "Where are the pictures of the cast?" were quickly replaced once we looked a little deeper into the campaign. Isn't this just what The Capitol would do? Use propaganda during a rebellion to try to unify the country? And use (probably) Capitol citizens to stand in for the people of the districts - including District 12- which fans would understand, didn't exist at the end of Catching Fire

We're excited that this might be just the start of a larger Capitol propaganda campaign that might end with some rebel hacks, some beautiful posters of our cast and, at least by Comic Con, a trailer. If the district heroes look this good, imagine Peeta in Capitol propaganda.

Bring it on!

Be sure to read more about each District Hero at TheCapitol.PN and sign up for updates from CapitolTV. See the full size pics in our Gallery.
