On working with Theo:
"Theo is fun, and his jokes are very crude, which I really respond to."

On dressing for the red carpet:
"My style is about earth tones, so I'll be in browns or greens, or black."

On acting in the action scenes:
"The fight choreography was scary. I have scars."

Theo

On playing jokes on Shailene on set:
"I pulled Shai's pants down during one of the action sequences."

On injuring someone during the action scenes:
"One time I had seven rapid moves and cut this guy's lip - he needed 25 stitches. I still feel guilty."

On his ensemble choices for the premiere night:
"Men have it so much easier [on the red carpet]. We don't get hassled as long as we're not wearing a clown suit."

Rolling Stone: Philip Seymour Hoffman

At the beginning of this month, Philip Seymour Hoffman had two films in the can — Anton Corbijn's thriller A Man Wanted and the crime drama God's Pocket — and plans to appear in the next two Hunger Games films. He was preparing to star in a Showtime series, Happyish, and to direct Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal in Ezekiel Moss. He was primed to launch into the next phase of his already-brilliant career. "He wanted to be done with playing the sad-sack loser, the guy who's jerking off," his close friend, the playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis, says. 

But all those plans went to dust on Sunday, February 2nd. That morning, Mimi O'Donnell, Hoffman's longtime partner and mother of their three children, texted David Bar Katz, another one of Hoffman's playwright friends, because the actor hadn't shown up to pick up their kids. Katz went to Hoffman's temporary apartment, where he'd been living for a few months after falling off the wagon, two blocks away from his family's home. That's where he found a generation's most brilliant actor — dead in the bathroom, a needle in his left arm.

Jessica Chastain - In Style

I loved her in The Help and can't wait to see her in Zero Dark Thirty. Does anyone remember her vaguely from Veronica Mars? I want to rewatch and see. (Loved Veronica Mars!)

Jessica Chastain is amazing and I hope to see more of her in the future... She is featured on In Style this month and the interview shows how sweet and awesome she is...

Fame and money have not been my goals. If they had, then this probably would not have happened, because this all happened from independent films. Not big pay cheques.

'Even The Help was an independent film. We were all cast before the success of the novel. Thank God, because they would have never ever given me Celia Foote [her character] had people known how big it would become.'

Although the actress has now become a Hollywood sensation, she admitted she initially struggled to make it on the big screen because of her somewhat unconventional looks.

Jessica added in her interview with InStyle: 'There were a couple of times when I thought, "Maybe I should dye my hair blonde?" I’m in LA and I’m thinking, "Why can’t I get an audition for a film?"

'Being a redhead and not having very conventionally modern looks, it was confusing for people and they didn’t know exactly where to put me. Most of the time, it was, "Why is this taking so long?"'

*UPDATED* Kristen Stewart Cheats on Robert Pattinson? Robsten No More?

**Scroll to bottom of this post for most recent info**

Posted when news first broke:

So here is the rumour... and the photgraphic "evidence"

Here are my thoughts:

1. IF it is true, Rob would be upset, devastated even, but likely forgiving.... non?

2. This could have been an old photo from SWATH rehearsals?

3. At SDCC her hair was very different, but her hair in the photo does resemble that of TCA's, allegedly this was taken July 17? Hmmm... ok seems more likely it could be true

4. Photoshop is an amazing thing. Ya never know...

5. How reliable are Perez Hilton and/or US Weekly USUALLY? Really?

I don't know if it is true or not, but honestly, if it is or is not, I don't think "Rosbten" is dead... he friggin' adores her and would probably forgive her... I mean, he has done his fair share of antics to annoy her, that is how relationships go.... but cheating... well, if this happened, it would deffo be a bump in the road, but I am not sure it would be the end...

Personally, I wouldn't stay with someone who cheats. So If Rob is anything like me, they both may soon be single.

Now, for Sanders, who is married with children.... eek! That is a whole other story... Completely disappointed Kristen would be the "home wrecker" in that situation... (if true!) *sigh*

I would never stay with a cheater and let's face it, Robert Pattinson wouldn't exactly have a hard time finding a date, so it won't surprise me (or upset me) if he dumps her cheating butt...

Thoughts?

ALSO, Gossip Cop (who is notorious for busting bad dish) reports:

Something did happen between Stewart and Sanders, although a source close to the actress tells us, “It’s not a relationship.”

“She made a mistake. She feels awful,” we’re told, but our source stresses, “She’s not with him.”

It’s worth noting that Stewart and Pattinson were seen out together just last Thursday – after the starlet’s alleged make-out session — when they held hands exiting a Los Angeles hotspot.

The two also attended Sunday’s Teen Choice Awards together.

Crazy....

People Magazine Article says:

The hookup with Stewart's Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders occurred recently, the source says.

"She wasn't having an affair with Rupert. It was just a fleeting moment that shouldn't have happened," says the source. "She never meant to hurt anyone. She's a good person who just made a bad choice."

*UPDATED*

The only "defence" was that Liberty Ross (Sanders wife) herself confirmed the photo was an edited version of her and her husband...We now know this is not true (I called the dang radio station myself!) but IMDB posted that Sanders wife Liberty Ross was on 105.3 fm Brisbane radio station saying that the photo is of her, with Kristen's head photoshopped.

However, an official statement at this time MAY be needed. Of course, since Rob & Kristen haven't really "officially" come OUT about their relationship, a statement would probably focus on the fact that Kristen did or did not have relations with Rupert Sanders or not.

Also, @RossLiberty is no longer available (deleted?) I just looked at it an hour ago and she had tweeted:

"RT @WomenOfHistory Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. _Marilyn Monroe"

and

"wow"

Also:

Before deleting her twitter account!

Also @lulurobsten tweeted details of inside the US Weekly issue saying:

"1. it is deinitely K. 2. they're intimate. 3. pics aren't photoshopped. sorry guys. xx"

UPDATED - I CALLED Brisbane Australia radio show

Twitter, IMDB and hear say is simply not my thing, so instead of feed into the rumour, I called the radio station myself to get answers!

They said they didn't have Liberty Ross on the show. They did say they posted the "cheating story" because they saw it on People Magazine. Then they tweeted the clarification / confirmation and FINALLY people realized it was false. The reality that this may indeed be Kristen set in

In reality Rob & Kristen may have an open relationship, Liberty & Rupert may too. Maybe this happened in a hippy-drug-induced-love-fest or as rehearsals for the next Snow White or just a friendly gesture misinterpreted... maybe it is true... really... does it honestly make a huge difference in your life?

Besides my intense curiosity, I don't really care one way or another, much like I didn't care if they were together or not... but time will tell!

This morning we learn...

While no official statement has been made yet, we learn that Kristen's Team knew Monday the story would break and had one day lead time to "get things in order" so to speak (assumingly tell Rob, Liberty, Rupert, whoever, that a storm was brewing)

Lainey Gossip writes a great piece on the whole story confirming it is true and it went down like this:

A very fortunate paparazzo jackpotted the photos last week. Us Weekly secured them for an exclusive and let Stewart’s rep know in advance on Monday, before the magazine closed, that they would be running the story. Stewart’s team had a one day lead to make their preparations which also gave Stewart the opportunity to let Sanders know herself and of course her boyfriend Robert Pattinson. If that’s any consolation, Twi-Hards, he heard it from her and not from the internet.

Stewart is not denying the story. If there were no photos, the strategy might be different. But it’s hard to argue with those shots. Instead then, she and her team have decided to acknowledge her mistake, giving up source quotes through PEOPLE and Gossip Cop, mouthpiece outlets for publicists:

"Kristen is absolutely devastated. It was a mistake and a complete lapse in judgment. She wasn't having an affair with Rupert. It was just a fleeting moment that shouldn't have happened. She never meant to hurt anyone. She's a good person who just made a bad choice."

The play here then seems to be to own up to the error but also suggest that it was a one-time stray, a “fleeting moment” in a parked car in broad daylight and not some regular f-cking in a hotel room under a code name. The honest move is a good one. Most of celebrities, as we’ve seen, would have denied it. John Travolta keeps denying it, even when there’s practically a dick in his mouth.

The other side of her game plan of course is to call for sympathy while admitting she screwed up. “Kristen is absolutely devastated” is a direct appeal to her fanbase, her Twi-Hards: she’s crying herself to sleep and you have to forgive her!

Fine. But who’s consoling Mrs Sanders?

OK, Lainey usually has her info before posting.... and I just have to say that if this truly happened this way, it explains why they were so happy at TCAs (news hadn't broke), but, I do NOT believe for ONE SECOND that this was a fleeting moment on July 17th, exposed Monday July 23... if they worked together for months, something would have happened then... not randomly in a "fleeting moment" July 17.

What gets me is that at Comic-Con we saw them and only a couple days later, she is doing this? With him? After being so secretive about her relationship with Rob, she gets caught making out with Rupert? So Strange! I mean for year we have wanted a photo like that of her and Rob non? Then TCAs as if nothing has happened, her proud look at Rob as he gave away his surf board. The very next day "news breaks" ouch!

This whole thing is crazy, but it does happen all the time in Hollywood and I think Lainey is right, what happens from here will determine a lot about everyone in volves reputation...

Robert Pattinson is Kristen Stewart's 'F#cking Boyfriend' - Elle June 2012

So I was asked on twitter about the new interview where Kristen Stewart refers to Robert Pattinson as her "fucking boyfriend"

News to me, but I have been emerged in real life lately and thought I either missed it somehow (who misses news THAT big, they NEVER openly talk about their relationship) or it was just another random rumour/hope/dream of the Robsten clan (I agree they are together - I just don't see them discussing it openly, why would they? In fact, I don't even WANT them to win best kiss for MTV awards because I can't endure another game of how not to kiss when they win... moving on...)

I found the interview.... it is real... She is looking at books on a shelf and talking about them and then...

“Oooh, Martin Amis.” Stewart plucks Money from the shelf. “My copy just got soaked – my toilet overflowed.” And then, “Oh my God, my fucking boyfriend just did this movie,” she says, referring to Robert Pattinson while pulling down a copy of Bel Ami. “The French, they’re up in arms that he did it.”

ha ha awesome, but until a sex tape leaks - I won't be impressed ;)

Still it is intriguing that she is finally starting to "break" the silence.... here is another interesting excerpt:

Stewart taps her hands on the steering wheel, her short nails lacquered in bloodred. On her thumb is a silver spoon ring. “All four of my brothers and my mom and dad have these,” she says. “My mom went and got them for Christmas.” And the gold ring circling her index finger? “Everyone wants to know,” Stewart says slyly. She shakes her head. “Everyone knows already – it’s ridiculous.” As painful as it is to be so publicly pushed and prodded, how does she square wanting to be projected on a 40-foot screen? “Laurence Olivier was asked, ‘Actors, what’s the impulse? Why?’ And he was just like, ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me, …’ That was his answer. But at the same time, it’s like, ‘Nooo, don’t look at me. Look at some version that I’m going to present to you. Let me control it.”

Anyways - here are more scans and below the entire article/interview written.







Transcipt:

Winding her way through a forest of dead trees that have become books, Kristen Stewart is on the hunt for her next read, having just devoured Alberto Moravia’s Contempt: “I loved it. Funny though, the movie is a comedy, but the book is so down.” In black Keds, black skinny jeans, a dark hoodie, and a well-worn green tee, Stewart could pass for one of the literary hipsters working in this cozy Sunset Boulevard bookstore.

She runs a finger along the countless spines of potential suitors lining the tall, dark shelves – a tight maze of plot twitsts and turns – and stops at John Steinbeck. “East of Eden is my favorite, it’s big, and then Cannery Row. I’ve read them all.” Nestled next to Steinbeck is William Styron. “Have you ever read Lie Down in Darkness?” Stewart asks excitedly. “I want to play Peyton more than anything I can possibly taste or touch in my life. I want to play her so bad. Peyton is bright, beautiful, suicidal narcissist, preyed upon by her father. But Stewart, 22, sees it as more complicated than that. “Oh, dude, she fuckin’ loves it! She’s in love with him. I mean, I think she’s in love with him. It’s not his fault. They’re the most fucked-up family!”

More...


“There’s a script adaptation I’ve read and it’s good,” she says, continuing down the aisle. “Two people vying for the part of the father are Daniel Day-Lewis and Colin Firth. Daniel would be perfect.” Stewart stops suddenly and smiles, picking up an autobiography. “Let’s not be pretentious – let’s buy Snooki.” (She doesn’t.)

Rounding a corner, Stewart taps Jeffery Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides. “I fucking love that movie so much. I love teenage girls.” To say that they love her back would be a gross understatement. Stewart’s embodiment of Bella Swan in the billion-dollar Twilight franchise has made her the object of Bellamania, an obsessive condition afflicting teenage girls and, according to the star, middle-aged women. In other words, every female who’s ever felt the breathless exhaultation of unguarded, mad, sexually-charged 4-ever love with a beautiful, mysterious, intense, withholding boy who turns out to be a bloodsucking vampire on a limited diet with a dysfunctional family and wolves howling at his door, and who requires that you give up everything to be with him. Been there. Done that. Read the books. Saw the movies.

“Oooh, Martin Amis.” Stewart plucks Money from the shelf. “My copy just got soaked – my toilet overflowed.” And then, “Oh my God, my fucking boyfriend just did this movie,” she says, referring to Robert Pattinson while pulling down a copy of Bel Ami. “The French, they’re up in arms that he did it.”

The actress met the British actor in 2007 during a chemistry test of sorts. She was already cast in Twilight, but the role of her vampire love interest – the eternal teen Edward Cullen – was still up for grabs. Director Catherine Hardwicke narrowed it down to four actors. “Every two hours, I had another guy come over to my house,” Hardwicke recalls. “Rob and Kristen sat down at the table and did the biology scene. I felt the sparks. I could see the attraction. Kristen was very vocal – she knew she had the strongest connection with Rob. I said ‘Let me have a day to see if it translates to screen.’” Hardwicke laughs. “I warned him. ‘She’s underage, don’t even think about it! It’s a law in our country.’’

Stewart’s private life is a no-fly zone. She’s known to shoot down inquiries with a death-beam stare and vaporizing replies. What’s there to say, anyway? It is whatever it is. The irony being that for all the alchemy she conjures with Pattinson on screen, there’s an underlying disconnect. Maybe it’s the bizarre Bella brown contact lenses obscuring Stewart’s sage green eyes. (“It’s like I always have sunglasses on – soulless, googly-eyed sunglasses. You can’t feel your eyeballs. They ruined me.”) Or a subconscious refusal to lay bare her personal life for public consumption.

She’s far more emotionally exposed in her smaller films, casting prisms of light and dark feelings at the same time. It was her performance as a lonely, longing, falling-in-love teenager living off the grid in 2007’s Into the Wild that announced the much-needed arrival of a serious young actress in Hollywood. It put her on Hardwicke’s radar, and director Jake Scott’s, too. The moment Stewart appeared on screen, Scott says, “I jumped out of my seat and ran into the lobby – I didn’t even finish watching the scene. I made a phone call and said, ‘She’s the one! Find her!’ Two days later, Stewart was cast as Mallory, the wounded, underage, foul-mouthed stripper in the heartbreaking exploration of grief Welcome to the Rileys. Following that came The Runaways, in which she portrays Joan Jett, pulling of a no-holds-barred take on the legend who loves drugs, women, and rock ‘n’ roll. “It was a tough one,” Stewart says of making the film. “But I love Joan. I’d jump off buildings for her, splatter on the ground.”

The extreme loyalty and passion she has for all her characters extends to the scripts. “We worked every day rewriting, trying to make it more real,” Hardwicke says. “Kristen’s an intense person – she’s a searcher for the truth in a scene, in reality. Even if we were supposed to start shooting and there was an entire crew of a hundred people standing around, if she didn’t feel something, we would step aside and find a way to make the lines better, make the emotion feel real. And it shows. She’s compelling in every scene.”

Scott went so far as to let Stewart just wing it. “I enjoyed that she went ‘off book’ a lot,” he says. “Because she does, you know? She would get the gist of it, the essence, the important point, and do it in her own way. I’d stick her in the scene, and she’d do something interesting.” While “every take was different, which was tricky in the edit room, the character she was playing was so erratic, it worked.”

It speaks to her talent that Kristen is given so much latitude. She learned to assert herself while working with William Hurt in 2008’s The Yellow Hankerchief. “He was the first guy I ever saw take a script and fucking turn it on its head. He threw us all up into the air,” Stewart says fondly. “It was so cool working with him. He is so beat – he’s like, On the Road. Incredibly intense. Dude!” You have that sense that Stewart has first dibs on projects – she seems peerless at this point. (It’s hard to believe Lindsay Lohan is just three years older.) “The thing that makes Kristen so interesting to watch is that she’s willing to play a character who has moments of unsympathetic behavior and commit to it – not undercut it for the sake of vanity, like some actors,” says Greg Mottola, who cast Stewart in Adventureland as Em, the confused, conflicted teen two-timing with super cute Jesse Eisenberg and married cad Ryan Reynolds. “Kristen’s not interested in putting out some ‘please me love’ vibe.”

Drifting over to the graphic novel section, Stewart gasps at seeing Black Hole.

“This fucking store is like kismet!” she says. “I want to do this movie!” The book, about a sexually transmitted plague, “is disgusting, so gross,” Stewart enthuses. “I love the first image” – she turns to a completely black page with a white vagina-shape opening in the center – “a slit. You just grow, like, holes in your body. The imagery is so weird. See” – she flips to another page – “he’s looking at her hand and soon there’s gonna be a little mouth in there. It’s so sexual the desire is so fucking palpable, but it feels so dirty, like [the characters] are so ashamed because they’re diseased, they’re literally getting these holes.”

Is it any surprise that Stewart’s next project is inspired by Grimms’ fairy tale? In this month’s Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart plays the titular character possessing “skin white as snow, lips red as white, hair black as ebony…” but that’s as much as she has in common with the classic. That and the fact that the evil queen wants to eat her heart out. Promising to go fetch it, the Huntsman reneges, sides with Snow White, and turns her into a warrior princess. “She’s not a damsel in distress relying on the handsome prince to save her,” says director Rupert Sanders. “She’s someone who bonds with the men together to reclaim the kingdom. And Kristen was exactly what she personified: tough, independent, resilient.”

Chris Hemsworth, who plays the hunky huntsman, recalls a day in the midst of shooting a key moment when “halfway through it, Kristen said, ‘No, this is a disaster, this is shit, this is not working. Oh, fuck, we’re missing something! We’re missing something.’ The lines we had weren’t hitting it. Thankfully, she voiced it. So Rupert let us improvise. And the whole scene took a life of its own. It was like, wow, she’s onto something.”

Despite being terrified of horses, Stewart saddled up to lead an army of 250 mounted men charging down a beach in the rain. “I hated it,” she admits of riding. “I didn’t take to the whole mentality of fucking ordering that thing around – ‘Go now!’ You have to be an asshole, basically. Not to say that horse people are assholes to their horses. But you have to basically tell that thing who’s boss, and I didn’t want to do that. I was like, ‘No, do your thing. I don’t even want to be up here.’”

“Let’s find Bukowskit. I love his poetry.” Stewart heads off, her voice trailing behind her. “You should read his Ham on Rye. It’s autobiographical from his first memory sitting under a table, poking at people’s shoes. It’s like, so visceral. And so in a kid’s head. It’s firsthand, second-nature writing. It literally just falls out of him.” Her own first memory is of her mother, Jules, a script supervisor, coming home from work late at night. “I would stay up and wait for her. I wasn’t even big enough to hug her yet. I would just run and wrap myself around her leg, which felt like a tree trunk because I was so tiny. And she’d bring craft service and stuff – I love going through her bag. There was such a partifcular smell. That’s a real sensory memory for me. I was always wondering, like, Where were you today? I know that’s why I’ve always been like, Wow! Movies!”

Growing up in the Valley, the daughter of two “eccentric, weird, hippie parents” (her father, John, is a stage manager), Stewart had the kind of secure childhood that’s rare among young stars. Discovered at age nine singing in a school play, she was cast in small films and then, at 10, in David Fincher’s Panic Room, as Jodie Foster’s diabetic daughter. One role begot the next, and from seventh grade on Stewart was homeschooled, something she regrets, in a way. “Because I didn’t go to fucking school, I feel I would have had a bit something extra if I had,” she says. “Maybe because my life is so perfect, when I see the other side of life, it just seems like, almost like I want…” Stewart struggles for words. “You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can’t wait for something crazy to fucking happen to me. Just life. I want someone to fuck me over! Do you know what I mean?” That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger? “Exactly. It’s one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy.” Asked which character in literature she’d most like to play, she picks East of Eden’s Cathy, the murderous mother who abandons her twins to run a brothel. As Stewart puts it, “She’s a psychopathic, evil c–t! I haven’t done that yet.” And how much fun would that be?

A determined-looking clerk with a boatload of book approaches. “May I offer suggestions?” the woman asks without hesitation. “Have you ever read Jean Genet’s Our Lady of the Flowers?” She hands it over. “He wrote it in prison on brown paper that he used to go to the bathroom with. They burned it, and he rewrote it from memory. It’s so passionate…This is a young poet who lives in Portland,” she says, laying another one on her. “He’s a surrealist poet, but like, really sincere about it. He’s actually traveling right now with a puppetry troupe. I’ll read the first poem to you…” Meanwhile back at the ranch… “This guy is the Persian Dostoevsky… Y: The Last Man is a graphic novel that is really a graphic novel. It’s about a disease wiping out all of the men in the world except one man and a monkey. This is my favorite writer, Aleksandar Hemon. His Bosnian immigrant fiction is imbued with a sense of helplessness and loss…”

“All of this shit sounds really good,” Stewart says, taking on the load. “Okay, I think we’re ready to bounce.”

By the checkout line is a stack of new releases. Among them, Jack Kerouac’s lost first novel, On the Road in which she plays the sexually game Marylou. Like the famous writer, “Kristen’s someone who marches to the beat of her own drum, and I appreciate that,” says co-star Kirsten Dunst. “On the Road is a big step for her; after being so widely known as someone who was in the Twilight films, it’s going to be the perfect stepping stone to her adult career, almost like Virgin Suicides was for me.” Interestingly enough, On the Road director Walter Salles cites his favorite Stewart moment in the film as one in which the actress has absolutely nothing to say. Her heart broken, Marylou listens to a song playing on the radio. “The camera was on Kristen all the time, catching the transformation of her feeling all these feelings,” Salles remembers. “It was so utterly moving.”

As the cashier rings up the stack, a woman pats Stewart on the shoulder. “Excuse me,” she says, pulling a chubby girl toward the actress. “Do you mind if I take your picture with my daughter? Her sister is at home and she’s a huge fan and she’ll kill me if I don’t.” Stewart smiles and puts an arm around the child, who looks confused. Flash! Mother: “Thank you!” Stewart: “No problem.” Child: “Who is that?” Mother: “Shh! She’s in those Twilight movies.”

“We were so close, we almost got away,” Stewart says of being recognized. She unlocks a nondescript rental car (she can’t drive her Mini Cooper without being followed by paparazzi), drops the books in back, slides into the driver’s seat, starts the engine and offers up a Camel. Pushing the cigarette-lighter button, she says, laughing, “I went for the high-class rental. This car’s got all the fixin’s!”

Scattered on the passenger side floor are a pair of plaid Van sneakers, an empty protein drink, a Coca-Cola can, and a plastic to-go container with a half eaten sandwich covered in mold. A nearly empty Snapple sits in the cup holder, cigarette buds floating in it.

Stewart taps her hands on the steering wheel, her short nails lacquered in bloodred. On her thumb is a silver spoon ring. “All four of my brothers and my mom and dad have these,” she says. “My mom went and got them for Christmas.” And the gold ring circling her index finger? “Everyone wants to know,” Stewart says slyly. She shakes her head. “Everyone knows already – it’s ridiculous.” As painful as it is to be so publicly pushed and prodded, how does she square wanting to be projected on a 40-foot screen? “Laurence Olivier was asked, ‘Actors, what’s the impulse? Why?’ And he was just like, ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me, …’ That was his answer. But at the same time, it’s like, ‘Nooo, don’t look at me. Look at some version that I’m going to present to you. Let me control it.”

As opposed to being controlled. “That’s what I like about Kristen,” says Charize Theron, her Snow White co-star. “All that fame and all that spotlight stuff is not her life. Her privacy is not going to be up for grabs. But man, because of that she’s going to be okay. She’s one of the few who will have a very long, steady, amazing career.”

Stewart yells at the honker. “I didn’t realize you were turning because your fucking blinker wasn’t on!” Luckily, all the windows are up. He can’t hear her, or, more importantly, see exactly who she is. Who really can? She’s young, she’s famous – she’s still figuring it out herself.

Alexander Ludwig on cover of 'Da Man'

There is a brief interview with Alexander:

On bulking up to play Cato in The Hunger Games: “I gained almost 40 pounds of muscle for this role. I’m currently working on getting back to how I was before Cato. As an actor, I feel that it’s important to make a physical commitment to create a character and it’s also important for me to return to my normal self.”

On his music career: “Check out my new song ‘Liv It Up’ currently available on iTunes! I’ve always been very passionate about music and am currently working on creating an album. [My favorite musicians are] Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, a variety of country artists including Rodney Atkins.”

On making films: “My parents know how passionate I’ve always been about acting. I convinced them this was something that I was going to put my heart and soul into. They encourage me 100 percent. I couldn’t do it without their support.” See more photos at Source
