Gossip Teen

Fans are finally getting a peek at how Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth will look as Peeta and Gale in The Hunger Games.

The two actors have been subject of much speculation for looking so different from the way author Suzanne Collins described both characters in the books, but now that should change.

Hutcherson dyed his hair blonde and bulked up his arms to play the son of a baker who must compete in the annual games. The 18 year-old told EW he worked on his arms so he could believably play a guy who lifts heavy bags of flour and sugar as his father’s assistant.

Hemsworth also changed his hair color to a deeper shade of brown and is thinner than we’ve seen him in the past.

Director Gary Ross said people will be very surprised about Hemsworth in the film.

“On first glance he’s such a hunk that it’s easy to just sort of ascribe a hunk-like simplicity to him,” says the director. “But this is a phenomenally subtle actor.”

Hemsworth and Hutcherson have really bonded while filming in North Carolina and became great friends. Josh even invited Liam to head to Kentucky for a dinner with his family at his grandmother’s home and the two may decide to share a house in Los Angeles.

The Hunger Games is due in theaters in March of 2012.

Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon grace this week’s cover of EW magazine and wow! do they look great – especially Rob!

The Twilight star says he’s ready to be able to live a more normal life once the vampire film franchise ends.

“It’s funny how it’s ending in 2012. This is how the world will end. But, um, I don’t know. I think most of people’s recognition is based on the magazines and stuff. All the gossip stories won’t work— they’re always combined with Twilight, so once that’s done and it can’t be combined with the promotion of the film, I think it will end. Because I have an obscenely boring life.”

But there is one thing in particular he really hates – those contact lenses!

“My God, I’ll be glad to see the last of those,” Pattinson says. “I actually want to get some kind of plastic explosive. I want to reanimate them into something so I can kill them. It’s so embarrassing for me — after so many years, it’s still a process every single morning. Everybody else has figured out how to do it, and then there’s two people holding me down because I can’t do it myself.”

In Water For Elephants, no contacts were involved for the 24 year-old but he did have a very romanticized vision of hoping on trains, joining a travelling circus and seeing America like his character does.

“I liked the aspect of living on a train,” the English actor says. “Just that whole frontier thing. It seems to me the definition of America.”

Water for Elephants is based on the novel by Sarah Gruen and will open in theaters on April 22nd.

Paul Wesley was in New York City over the weekend and hit up the opening of the new Broadway play Elling, starring Brendan Fraser and Jennifer Coolidge. The Vampire Diaries star was dressed in shades of gray again, (why Paul, why?) as he mingled with the NYC theater crowd for the celebration.

Wesley is also into round three of EW’s Under-Appreciated Entertainer poll (he is definitely overshadowed by Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev and their possible off-screen romance, but he is just as integral to the storyline.) Want to vote for him and show him some love? Hit the link and maybe he will take the prize, as costar Somerhalder took EW’s Sexy Beast win this summer.

Entertainment Weekly is rounding up the most anticipated fall flicks and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1 is front and center on the cover. Daniel Radcliffe shows off his wand and gives us the scoop what the final days of filming was like for him:

“This film has been hard to make, and I’ve had some of the most trying moments, both physically and mentally, than ever before. I wasn’t entirely thrilled with my performance in Half-Blood – I found it quite same-y, and didn’t think there was enough variation in it – so I’ve worked hard to make sure that if the seventh film comes out and I’m still unhappy with it, I’ll know it won’t be from lack of trying. We’ve got a long way to go, but to be honest, I don’t mind. I love being here. There is no place else I’d rather be.”

Check the behind the scenes video below with Daniel and his costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

This film is gonna be epic!

WOW! Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) and Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) cover the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. The two posed for one spectacularly beautiful photo shoot and you can totally see there is a lot of chemistry between them too!!

In the interview, Kristen claims she would literally kill for her good friend Taylor. I’m starting to wonder if all the Robert Pattinson and Kristen’s romance rumors aren’t just a decoy to keep Kristen and Taylor’s relationship a secret… I know I’m a bit paranoid, right!?!

You have to check out the behind-the-scenes footage of their sexy intimate photo shoot -> video! Here are some highlights from Kristen and Taylor’s EW interview here:

Stewart, on playing other roles: “If it was Twilight all the time, I would go mad. To just play one character for four years, it’s not what I do. I like to have variation. I like to change it up… I’m so not Bella. Thats just a different aspect of me.”

Lautner, on playing Jacob: “It’s challenging, because he’s not human. I mean, what human walks around with a frown, looking like he wants to kill something?”

Lautner, on his friendship with Stewart: “[Jacob and Bella] are so open, and they can tell each other everything. So it was very important for me and Kristen to grow very close before doing this.”

Stewart, on Lautner: “I love that kid. I would do anything for him. I would kill for him, literally.”

Stewart, on Lautner almost being replaced as Jacob: “I knew he had [to do] it. Just because of how I felt around him… We have that [BFF] relationship. It’s lamely cute.”

Lautner, on bulking up for his increased role: “My body fat got so low that we actually needed to increase it a little bit. My trainer would be like, ‘Go have a huge milk shake just so I can get a thousand calories into your body.’”

Here is one of the behind-the-scenes videos with Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner for the EW Fall Movie Preview cover shoot. In this one, Stewart talks about the clothes she gets to keep and how some fans have a hard time seeing her in any other role than Bella. There also is a playfulness to Stewart and Lautner that comes across between the two – very brotherly/sisterly. It’s cute – check it out.

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart are on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s Fall Movie Preview issue. As it turns out, Stewart was Lautner’s biggest supporter, way back when it was possible Taylor could get the boot by Summit - just as what happened with Rachelle Lefevre recently.

“It’s completely understandable why they wanted to make sure he was right,” says the actress. “He was so young, 16, so I got it. But I knew he had [to do] it. Just because of how I felt around him.” And how did the Bella-Jacob best-friend chemistry play out on set? “We have that relationship,” she says. “It’s lamely cute.”

More outtakes, photos and quotes will be coming from the article.

Confirmation for the final music list is still probably a month or two away, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from working overtime. Which artists are making the fall’s hottest soundtrack?

MTV.com has this to say about Lee Safar’s possible inclusion:

The Facebook pages of both Lee and “Twilight” make reference to the possible inclusion of Lee’s song, “I’m Here,” on the soundtrack. Lee describes her sound as “Evanescence meets Sarah McLachlan,”

Check out Safar’s MySpace page to hear ‘I’m Here.’

EntertainmentWeekly is listing Thom Yorke of Radiohead as a possible songwriter and maybe even super hot band Kings Of Leon.

Other artists thrown around are Madonna, The Jonas Brothers, Kelly Clarkson, and Coldplay. One of the only things certain is that Paramore is out. October 6th is the official release date for the movie music so it won’t be long before the final cuts are made. I gotta say it would be sooo sweet if Thom Yorke did something for New Moon.

Harry Potter mania is in full swing once again as the sixth film, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince is finally headed to theaters after a very long wait between The Order Of The Phoenix and this one. Since this is the last film to take place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, the actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are glad to be done with the maroon and gold of Gryffindor House uniform:

“I was like ‘Burn it!’ Oh my god, to be done with those shoes and that uniform — that was an exciting day,” says Watson. Radcliffe adds, “When you’re 18, one of the worst things to be wearing while trying to chat up a girl on the set is a school uniform. You look like a kid! You’re not going to score dressed like that!”

Looking forward to the film – how about you?
