Oh No They Didn’t: The Hunger Games Casting for ‘Underfed’ White Teenage Girls

There’s a little something wrong with the casting breakdown for Lionsgate’s upcoming adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ YA smash The Hunger Games . Or rather, a few little somethings: in a widely circulated casting call for the central part of Katniss, the fiercely independent young heroine of the dystopian survival trilogy, filmmakers are seeking girls who are Caucasian and look “underfed but strong.” Is this fantasy franchise off to the wrong start?

VIDEO: Latest Oscar Promo Turns Anne Hathaway Into a ‘Rump Shaker’

James Franco and Anne Hathaway (and the ABC promo department) have done well in creating a sense of guarded optimism about the job the pair will do hosting the Oscars on Sunday night. Which is why you should think twice before watching the latest promo for the show. No, it’s not romantic and beautiful, like the 19 seconds of the Grease parody that James Franco sent out to Twitter on Wednesday; it’s awkward and cringe-worthy. Unless the idea of seeing Anne Hathaway-as-Madonna-as-Evita singing “Rump Shaker” is your idea of a party. Then, watch away! Popping and locking at your desk is optional.

Miguel Arteta on Cedar Rapids and the Bullying of Michael Cera

If there’s one thing to be said for Cedar Rapids director Miguel Arteta, it’s that he defends his actors. If you come after one of the stars of his films — say, Michael Cera in last year’s criminally underrated Youth in Revolt — you’re going to hear about it, which Movieline did during this interview. The Puerto Rican-born Arteta is also apt to defend is his own bona fides: While he readily admits that he’s not the first person you would think of to direct Cedar Rapids — a film about a fish-out-of-water Midwesterner — he knows what it’s like to be a new person in a strange land.

Gleebasing: The Rachel Berry Train Wreck Extravaganza

Last night’s episode of Glee , “Blame It on the Alcohol,” was not just — as Will Schuester would call it — an “elaborate booze dream.” Schue did in fact drunkenly ride a mechanical bull and line dance with McKinley High’s brute football coach. The New Directions did projectile vomit a purple drank-derivative during a school assembly performance of Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok.” And finally, Rachel Berry did make out with a gay dude while wearing a pistachio- colored housecoat. So steel your stomachs, dear Glee basers, and join us below for a more detailed recap of last night’s inebriated events and a pop quiz!
