The trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the anticipated sequel to one of the, if not the biggest, films of last year, premiered last night at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, which was hosted by Rebel Wilson. Just from the two minute sneak peak, we can see that this sequel definitely holds the exciting drama just like its predecessor!

Picking up from the last film, Jennifer Lawrence's character Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson's Peta Malark are announced as the victors of the 74th Hunger Games. But the winners don’t realize that with this win comes danger to their lives. "She just wants to save her skin, simple as that," says President Snow, played by Donald Sutherland. "She has become a beacon of hope to them. She has to be eliminated."

Check out the trailer below!






Woody Harrelson, who plays Haymitch Abernath, and Elizabeth Banks, as Effie Trinket, will make an appearance. And so does bold Gale Hawthorne, played by Liam Hemsworth (YES!), and Katniss's sister, Primrose, played by Willow Sheilds.

The line "Every revolution begins with a spark" flashes across the screen before Snow states that all of the victors have to be annihilated. "Because of her," he says, "they all pose a threat. Because of her, they all think they're invincible."

I’m too excited to see this movie!!! I literally sat through the entire show wondering when they would play the trailer. The storyline is definitely dramatic and captivating, the acting impeccable, and the set absolutely incredible! Plus a dash of hot Liam Hemsworth doesn’t hurt either!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters on November 22!

Comedian Kevin Hart took to Twitter to apologize after he was arrested and locked up for a night on suspicion of drunk driving charges in Los Angeles.

"Drinking & driving is not a game or a laughing matter," he tweeted. "People have lost lives because of stupid s--t. This is a wake-up call for me, I have to be smarter & last night I wasn't. Everything happens for a reason."

Police said that Kevin was pulled over on California's Highway 101 freeway around 4:30 a.m. Sunday. His black Mercedes, going about 90 m.p.h., almost hit a tanker truck as Kevin was driving. He then failed a field sobriety test, and was arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge and held on $5,000 bond.

The comedian that he is, Kevin made light of his arrest in the tweet. "When the cop asked me to take the sobriety test I said 'Why waste our time… I'm drunk man'… #Truestory." He added about his time spent behind bars: "I did 6,000 push ups & 13,000 sit ups while I was in the pin....shout out to my celly 'Mark' we exchanged war stories LMFAO.”

While the tweet is a little funny, being arrested for DUI is definitely not! Hope Kev learned his lesson and never does something that stupid again. Drinking and driving is not only dangerous to your life, but to others as well. Just a short PSA from me!

Yet another episode of The Game! Picking up from last week, Jason and Chardonnay have breakfast with Brittany so they will get to know each other better. Brittany, being the dramatic brat she is, is rude to Chardonnay. However, Chardonnay herself reveals that she has 80,000 in loans and Jason freaks out being the cheap wad he is. Chardonnay continues to defer her loans even though Jason will eventually end up paying for them himself as her husband.

Jason goes to interview Brice, and they eventually talk about relationships. While Brice mentions that his kiss on camera with Keira wasn't serious, Jason casually brings up his spur-of-the-moment marriage to Chardonnay. Brice quickly questions it, but then relaxes because he assumes that Jason was smart enough to get a post-nup. Not the case! The conversation got Jason thinking about who exactly he married.


That night, Jason wakes Chardonnay to talk about her outstanding loans. We realize how much this couple doesn't know about each other's lives and how they want different things (For example, Chardonnay wants kids, but Jason had a vasectomy so that's not really going to work out!). So word to the wise: don't get drunk married to anybody!

The next day, Tasha plans to bribe Chardonnay with clothes so she won't say anything about seeing Tasha and Rick kissing in the car. Chardonnay came to talk to her about Jason and that vasectomy though! However, she takes Tasha up on her offer to

Later, Malik meets up with an investor to talk about his bikini that gets rid of a wedgie for women. His stay-kini is a failure and is very uncomfortable for the model wearing it! It was a total waste of the investor's time, and he walks out, discouraging Malik.

That night, Chardonnay checks Jason's junk, and doesn't believe that he had a vasectomy. He confesses that he didn't. However, he wants to pump the brakes after finding out about her incarcerated brother and student loans on hold. It's clear that, as a couple, they have so much to talk about and get on the same page with. Chardonnay tells him that he better get on board with having a baby or she's walking out. In fact, she tells him that, while she's in the bathroom, he needs to make up his mind! Ultimatum!!

Later, Malik talks to Tee Tee about his failed idea. He's really discouraged because he has no investment or business for after he's through with the game. Tee Tee encourages him to push through and continue his path to a business. I'm actually proud that Malik is even taking this route, instead of focusing so much on girls and booze!

Meanwhile, Chardonnay marches out of the bathroom, demanding an answer from Jason. He always had his life planned out, and Chardonnay was completely opposite of the plan. Life doesn't always happen like we plan, but Chardonnay refuses to give up her dreams of having kids. Jason decides that he wants to step outside of what he knows, and reluctantly decides to have a baby with Chardonnay because he wants to keep her in his life. They decide to wait a few years until Brittany leaves the house, but they both are excited!

NBC has announced that Jay Leno will ending his run as host of The Tonight Show! After 22 years, Jay will be stepping down in spring 2014, with Jimmy Fallon replacing him. NBC confirmed reports of the switch in a statement today.


"Jay Leno is an entertainment icon, making millions of people laugh every weeknight for more than 20 years. His long reign as the highest-rated late-night host is a testament to his work ethic and dedication to his viewers and to NBC," said Steve Burke, Chief Executive Officer of NBC Universal. "We are purposefully making this change when Jay is no. 1, just as Jay replaced Johnny Carson when he was no. 1."

"Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time," he continued. "I'm thrilled he will become the sixth host of The Tonight Show at exactly the right moment, in conjunction with our coverage of next year's Winter Olympic Games from Sochi, Russia."

Both Jimmy and Jay were in good spirits about the move. "Congratulations Jimmy. I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy," Jay, who took over the show from Johnny Carson in 1992, said. "If you need me, I'll be at the garage," he added.

Jimmy joked of his new time slot, "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow."

NBC says plans for Jimmy’s Late Night show at 12:35 a.m. are "currently in development and will be announced soon."

I think it's great that Jay is stepping down while he's still out on top. He's a legend in TV, and I don't want to see him going out at anything less than his prime. Jimmy will be a great host for the show when he takes over, I'm sure!

Players come and go, but The Game goes on! Picking up from last week, Pookie and Tasha have FaceTime. She is still in New York, even though the draft is over, which is weird. Pookie can tell a little bit that something's up, but plans to see her in San Diego in a few days. Then it's revealed that Rick Fox is laying right beside her, and they definitely slept together! Which isn't all that surprising, seeing as though he showed up at her door last week.

Tasha freaks out on Rick, who still clearly loves her. This wasn't random sex for him, and he wants to work things out. Tasha thinks she's made a huge mistake messing with him, but Rick calls her out, saying if she was so in love with Pookie, then what was she doing with him? TRUTH!

At the bar that night, Keira and Malik sip on ginger ale, and toast to being rich and famous. Blueprint comes in with Jason, and Keira clearly wants him nowhere around because he messed around with Ciara. Meanwhile Jason tells Blue to enjoy being young and new in the game. They chat and enjoy the night, with everyone eventually migrating over to their table, even Malik, leaving Keira behind and irritated.

The next day, Pookie surprises Tasha in her hotel room. He tries being intimate, but she pushes him away. She tries to pick a fight saying that she needs "consistency" in her life, since Pookie is a security guard for Too $hort. Pookie reiterates that he is committed to their relationship, and they both go to get tattoos of the other's names on them. It's all so stupid, and Tasha is way too old to be trying to force her feelings like this. If you love someone, be with them. Don't lead someone else on, and definitely don't get their name tattoo on you thinking that will bring y'all closer! Pookie definitely feels like something is wrong, and doesn't want to jinx it with a tattoo. He wants to be around her every day, and plans to move his security business to San Diego for her.

At the grocery store, Blue and Keira run into each other (such a coinky dink!). Blue tries to talk to her about New York, and Keira feels like he embarrassed her by sleeping with her friend. She wants them both to go their separate ways, and he agrees. However, later, she sees him moving into her building!

That night, Pookie and Tasha go back to her hotel room. Tasha gets flowers from Rick, and hides it from Pookie. She calls Rick, and tells him to meet her in an hour. She shows Rick her "Pook" tattoo, and they end up making out and having sex in the car regardless. Tasha keeps telling him that she loves Pookie, but she's only trying to convince herself, knowing that she still loves Rick. The ball is in her court. Chardonnay sees her and Rick Fox in the parking lot, and it's not clear if she plans to run her mouth about it or not yet!

In the garage, Keira's car is stuck right when she has to make it to an audition. Of course, Blue sees her as she is trying to change her tire, laughs, and seemingly drives off. However, he comes back to help her out, and gives him her jacket to wear too. He tells her that he understands that she's pissed, and tells her it was just one night. Keira, at first, doesn't want to hear it, but tells him that if he fixes her tire, they can throw in a couple of "pleasantries" here and there. Eventually, they'll get together, but I actually like seeing their progression towards being a couple. They're cute together!

 Glee's Heather Morris is going to have to chill out with her dancing for a while! The former Beyonce backup dancer turned actress is pregnant with her first child, a source confirms exclusively with Us Weekly. "She's a little more than three months along and starting to show," the source said.


The dad-to-be is the star's longtime boyfriend Taylor Hubbell, whom she met in high school.

"It was totally unexpected, but they are incredibly happy and excited," the source said.


Heather, who plays ditzy yet lovable cheerleader Brittany on the FOX hit show, has talked about starting a family with her man for a while, even if it means giving up her career. "I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him,"she told Fitness in 2011. "I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue."

A second friend says the couple have no plans to wed just yet, but a march down the aisle might not be that far away. The source said: "I see it in their future."

Congrats to Heather and Taylor and their families!
