The US Weekly Catching Fire Collectors Edition is on newsstands NOW! While you're waiting to get our hands on a copy, here are a few of the issue's tidbits from US Weekly.com:

For those disappointed with the lack of romance in the first installment, fear not! Hutcherson, 21, who plays tribute Peeta Malark, tells Us, "The kissing scenes are really hot!"

Peeta fell for Katniss Everdeen (played by Lawrence, 23) in the first film, but later learned that she played up her emotions for the cameras to help keep them alive in the arena. Peeta is hurt by Katniss' lack of emotion, and that will drive much of their characters' stories in Catching Fire. 

"Peeta and Katniss' relationship is not all good. But you get to see more of it -- which I like a lot," Hutcherson reveals. 

"I'd never want my bride to wear that dress," Hutcherson told Us. "It's so over the top! But for the Capitol, it's perfect."

Lawrence loved the dress, though it did pose some difficulties. The Oscar-winner required the help of seven people to help her get dressed and move around. 

"It was 5 feet in circumference, and I'm not good at walking in giant dresses, as we all know!" she joked with Us. 

Lawrence famously tripped up the stairs in her Dior Couture gown while heading to accept her 2013 Oscar award for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. 

We'll post HQ scans here as soon as we get the issue.
