Jennifer Lawrence Shakes Her Groove Thing

In The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence is rarely seen without a bow and arrow close to her side, while she wears her casual clothing and goes make-up free. So now that the actress is on the promotional trail, launching the film across the world, she is ensuring she looks her best.

The 21-year-old made a visit to Madrid earlier today to appear on TV show El Hormiguero. Jennifer looked stunning as she stepped on to the studio floor and matched the frock with some black strappy heels.

She wore her hair up and happily waved to the audience as she made her way on set. But she clearly hadn't intended to have to relive the drama of the film during her appearance as she had dressed demurely for the chat.

Jennifer plays Katniss Everdeen in the movie, a teenager who has to fight for her life on TV after volunteering to step in for her younger sister. In the trailer and stills for the film, the actress is shown expertly showing off her archery skills. And despite wearing unsuitable clothing for the activity, she had to demonstrate her skills again by using a bow and arrow on set to aim at a watermelon.

A bemused Jennifer played along and still managed to look stylish and collected as she pointed her bow. But as she was asked to carry out other odd activities she screwed up her face or laughed at what was put in front of her.

She was also handed plastic action dolls of the characters in the movie. And she showed off her acting skills once more as she joked around and played with the figurines in front of the audience.

The movie doesn't get released in Spain until Thursday, but it has so far received rave reviews at the American box office. Based on the first book in Suzanne Collins’ hugely successful trilogy of the same name, the film grossed $155million in the U.S. and made $214.3 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

It stars Jennifer, as heroine Katniss Everdeen, Woody Harrelson as her drunken mentor Haymitch Abernathy, and Donald Sutherland as the evil President Snow.

Some parents have complained the film scenes of murder and bloodshed were too graphic to be appropriate for children and suggested an R rating.

China Glaze Capitol Colours Stone Cold!

A couple of weeks ago I got my hands on two of the three polishes that I wanted from the China Glaze Capitol Colours collection, and I have one of those for you today.

 

Stone Cold, two coats. This is a matte dark grey with silver shimmer. This color represent District 8 which is Masonry, and it definitely represents it well. It looks a little glossier here than it actually is because I think I had used lotion and probably shouldn't have lol

The formula on this was good, some people have said that it is a little thick but I did not have any problems with it. The best part is that is dries super fast because it is a matte. 

I feel like it might be similar to Manglaze Fuggen Ugly, but I'll have to do a comparison to be completely sure. It seems similar, yet different.

I actually just read the first two books of the Hunger Games and I'm looking forward to the movie. After reading the books, the colors make a lot more sense! I was pretty confused when I first saw the collection, but reading the book made me like them even more!

Jennifer Lawrence to Kick Some Post-Apocalyptic Ass

Lionsgate released the latest trailer for Hunger Games, based on the popular trilogy by Suzanne Cullins. With about five sentences, three explosions

, and a one minute peek into the anticipated film, the trailer may temporarily soothe the anxiety and crazed twitches of YA literature fans after the end (?!) of Harry Potter and almost never-ending Twilight.

The trilogy's main character, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), is certainly less geeky and a little tanner than our favorites from the cinematic wizard and vampire worlds. Plus, she has to fight for her life. Without magic or a buff werewolf.

On national television. We got a first glimpse of Cullins' and Director Gary Ross' post-apocalyptic and game show-inspired world at the MTV VMAs on Sunday, but Lionsgate is ramping up its marketing campaign, and connecting its fans to one another through Facebook pages, Twitter scavenger hunts, and a virtual environment with District-formed teams from the Hunger Games storyline and District Identification Passes for followers.
