American teen magazine Seventeen recently featured an article entitled "10 Secrets from the Catching Fire Cast."
Josh and Jennifer Swapped MAJOR Kiss Spit!
"When I watched the playback of the kiss between Jennifer and me, there was this slobber string and it was so gross! In the moment, I didn't realize what was going on."

They Played a Goofy Game!
"We had this funny game we used to play on set. I don't even know how it started! Basically, somebody would make the 'OK' sign with their hand and would hold it down real low, and if somebody saw it, they stuck their finger in it. It sounds ridiculous, but it went on the entire shoot!

What Josh Brought Everywhere
"I don't have a good luck charm I bring on set, but I did bring my speaker set! I brought my portable wireless speaker set because I have to have music everywhere."
—Josh Hutcherson, Peeta

How the Tributes Trained
"We did a lot of martial arts training. There's a lot of choreography where I'm spinning around and whipping these [knives] and rolling around. It was taxing, but it was a lot of fun!"
—Alan Ritchson, Gloss
The Costume Lenny Kept!

The Costume Lenny Kept!
"I kept one thing from the set. There's a leather jacket that Cinna wore in some scenes, and I had to have it. I made sure that it went with me."
—Lenny Kravitz, Cinna
Peeta's Makeup Prep Routine

Peeta's Makeup Prep Routine
"It took 20 minutes [to do my face makeup] on days where I had a bad breakout—which happened a lot on set! Covering up my tattoos adds another hour and a half.
—Josh Hutcherson, Peeta
—Josh Hutcherson, Peeta
How They Bonded Off Camera
"We had a lot of down time on set, so the Tributes and I would all hang out together and watch movies. Alan Ritchson [who plays Gloss] and I shared a trailer, so people migrated toward us. Our trailer always had someone in it!"
—Stephanie Leigh Schlund, Cashmere

The Longest Scene to Film
"The Cornucopia scene took us weeks and weeks to shoot. It's kind of funny because what could be just five seconds on-screen in the movie probably took us a week and a half to film. For me, it's a month of memories, but some of the segments are going to go by so fast!"

Our Cinna and renaissance man, Lenny Kravitz was just featured in an article on THR.com in which he discusses his design firm Kravitz Design, Inc and his new set design for Queen Latifah's upcoming talk show. While we absolutely LOVE Lenny's design sensibility, we were REALLY intrigued by the tiny Catching Fire tidbit at the end of the article. SPOILER ALERT!
In Catching Fire, out Nov. 22, his fashion-designer character, Cinna, will meet a violent end.
"After my death scene, everyone's like, 'Oh shit, you're not coming back!' But you move on," he laughs. "It was fun while it lasted." While filming, he also was recording a new album, due out in the spring, at night. "Basically, I didn't sleep for about a month. But I was high off of the creativity," he says. "That sustained me."
Be sure to read the rest of the article and catch up on all of Lenny's design projects here.
Lenny Kravitz stopped by GMA this morning to talk about his role in The Butler.
He doesn't get a chance to talk about Catching Fire, but does say being a part of The Hunger Games franchise is "an amazing gift."

He'll be a guest on LIVE With Kelly & Michael on Thursday, 8/8 and will headline the opening ceremonies of the US Open tennis tournament on Mon, 8/26.
Lenny Kravitz (Cinna) made an appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night and played an all-star version of Pictionary with Jimmy, Jennifer Aniston and Cee-Lo Green. He also sat down with Fallon and talked about his acting career and got a surprise viewing of a very old commercial he did as an adorable little guy.
We all know that Lenny Kravitz is one stylish man. The singer and actor opened up about his costumes for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire as he returns to the role of Cinna. And it sounds like Cinna is a lot more like Lenny Kravitz, as far as the "look" goes.
"The clothing this time was more in line with how I dress," he told HitFix during Comic-Con. "I felt like I was wearing my own things throughout the film."
Our Cinna, Lenny Kravitz, will be featured on a new episode of Oprah's Master Class on Sunday, June 2nd.
From Zap2it:
The multi-Grammy Award-winning artist, producer and actor Lenny Kravitz talks about how his mixed cultural background influenced his signature retro music style and how he challenged the industry with his unconventional image. Raised in a biracial family (his mother is Roxy Roker known for her character Helen Willis on the hit 70’s sitcom “The Jeffersons” and father is Sy Kravitz NBC news producer of Russian-Jewish descent), Kravitz opens up about his upbringing and how his father’s infidelity affected him as a young boy. Plus, he reveals more about his marriage to actress Lisa Bonet (“The Cosby Show”) and his relationship with daughter, Zoë.
And hopefully he'll have something to say about The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, too!
