May the odds be ever in your favor – again! “The Hunger Games” franchise from author Suzanne Collins has entered a new era as its latest book, “Sunrise on the Reaping,” hit shelves this week.

The prequel novel follows a young version of Katniss and Peeta’s mentor Haymitch Abernathy, played by Woody Harrelson in the films, as he emerges as the victor in the 50th annual Hunger Games. A film adaptation from Lionsgate was announced at the same time as the book.

With five books, six films and even an upcoming stage adaptation set for London this October, there’s no sign of slowing down for this juggernaut dystopian franchise. The staying power of Panem was showcased at a midnight release party at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square in New York City on Monday, one of hundreds held across the country for the Scholastic launch.

Collins herself was not in attendance,...

Bodycam footage from a Jasper County, Indiana, Sheriff’s Office deputy released online shows the Jan. 6 Capitol riot defendant, Matthew Huttle, being pulled over and then shot to death.

In late January, Huttle, who President Donald Trump pardoned, was shot during a traffic stop at 4:15 p.m. by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy, authorities said in a statement.

The news release said he was pulled over by the deputy on Indiana State Road 14 near the Pulaski County line. It noted that the victim resisted arrest and had a gun in his car.

The newly released footage reveals that the deputy pulled Huttle over for speeding 70 mph in a 55 mph zone.

Lifelong Democrat George Clooney was undoubtably upset that Kamala Harris lost the presidential election. But the A-lister isn’t dwelling in his negative emotions.

“What am I supposed to do — storm the f–king Capitol? It didn’t work out, that’s what happens. It’s part of democracy,” Clooney told Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night. “Most of us still like each other. We’re going to get through it.”

Clooney then brought up his son, who loves to play chess but is often beaten by other kids. Whenever that happens, Clooney tells him not to get upset but to instead tell his rivals, “Good game and I’ll get you next time.”

“You’ve got to live by those rules, which is ‘All right, good for you. I hope you do well because our country needs it. And then we’ll meet you in three and a half years...

Due to cold temperatures on Monday, Donald Trump’s inauguration was moved indoors, rendering the tickets of thousands of fans who flew out to participate in the event useless. For Seth Meyers, that was pretty ironic, considering those same supporters had no trouble accessing government buildings when Trump left office.

To kick off his “A Closer Look” segment during “Late Night” on Monday, Meyers first danced around the subject of Trump’s inauguration, joking that the biggest story of the day was either TikTok returning after less than 24 hours, Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark hanging out at a Chiefs game together, or Timothée Chalamet receiving a fine for riding a bike to the London premiere of “A Complete Unknown.”

In the end though, he begrudgingly got into the events of the inauguration, immediately zeroing in on Trump supporters being left out in the cold, literally, when the event moved indoors.

The Hunger Games setting of Panem is split into The Capitol and thirteen districts. The Capitol houses the country's ruling class in lives of luxury, as well as their servants. By contrast, the districts are home to impoverished and oppressed people who produce all of Panem's goods and see to the nation's needs. Although Panem refers to itself as a democratic constitutional republic, its government can best be described as an authoritarian dictatorship.

In other words, Panem uses harsh conditions and limited contact between the districts to curtail the possibility of rebellion. Each district is responsible for one essential good or service provided to the Capitol, with limited opportunities outside these industries. As a result, each one has a solid cultural identity around their common trade, with some having hidden enterprises outside the public eye.

The land of soaps continues to mourn many great daytime drama stars who passed away in 2024. As fans reflect on the past year, the highs and lows, we take this opportunity to pay tribute to some of the incredible actors and actresses we have lost this year.

In Memoriam – Soap Stars We Lost At The Beginning Of 2024

Bridget Dobson, the co-creator of Santa Barbara, and also once a head writer for General Hospital (Gh), As the World Turns (Atwt), and Guiding Light (Gl), passed away in January 2024 at the age of 85.

Meanwhile, Days of Our Lives (Dool) legend, Bill Hayes, who played Doug Williams on the show passed away on January 12. Alec Musser, who was on All My Children (AMC) playing Del Henry (as well as other movie roles) passed away on January 12 as well, when he took his life at the age of 50.

Warning! Spoilers for Netflix's Uglies and Scott Westerfeld's continued book series ahead!

An interesting theory suggests that Netflix's new sci-fi movie, Uglies, is secretly a prequel to Katniss Everdeen's story in The Hunger Games. The 2024 dystopian movie is based on the book of the same name by author Scott Westerfeld, which was first released in 2005. Since The Hunger Games was written by Suzanne Collins, and the first book was released in 2008, these two stories can't actually be directly related. However, it's interesting to consider how they might fit together.

Like Netflix's adaptation, the Uglies book series follows a 15-year-old girl, Tally, who lives in a future centuries after the near collapse of human civilization. To combat humanity's destruction of the planet and itself, those who survived the apocalypse devised a plan to turn everyone into docile and compliant citizens, therefore allowing for a utopia. They achieved this through...

Gh’s Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) posted on X/Twitter about it, stating, “Rip to Janis Paige. Had the pleasure of working with her on a couple of soaps.

General Hospital Alum Janis Paige’s Acting Legacy

A veteran actress, who had an amazing career in Hollywood, Paige began in the 1940s with minor movie roles, and hit Broadway in 1954, starring in The Pajama Game. She did other Broadway shows after that, including Alone Together, Mame, and Here’s Love.

On Thursday, May 9 at 3:00 p.m. Et/12:00 p.m. Pt, podcaster Alan Locher will be joined by several friends and former co-stars of Marj Dusay, the beloved actress who portrayed such memorable characters as Alexandra Spaulding on “Guiding Light” and Vanessa Bennett on “All My Children,” among others, for a special tribute episode of “The Locher Room” dedicated in her honor.

Actors Vincent Irizarry, Ron Raines and Nicholas Walker, each of whom played a family member of one of Dusay’s characters throughout her daytime drama career, are set to appear on the live show.

On “All My Children,” Irizarry portrayed David Hayward, the eldest child of Dusay’s scene-stealing character. He played a similar capacity on “Guiding Light,” where he appeared as Alexandra’s twin boys, Brandon “Lujack” Luvonaczek and Nick McHenry-Spaulding. On the CBS soap, Raines portrayed Alan Spaulding, Alexandra’s brother.

With the company eliminating his position as Senior EVP of Programming, where he had overseen daytime dramas “Days of our Lives” and “The Young and the Restless” since 2007, veteran Sony Pictures Television executive Steve Kent will be transitioning to become executive in charge of production at “The Young and the Restless.”

According to Deadline, which first reported Kent’s new role, other members of the Sony production team will take over his former responsibilities going forward. In related news, the outlet also reported that another Sony executive, Nina Lederman, would be exiting the company amid a production slowdown impacting Hollywood following last year’s monthslong dual strikes. Lederman, who joined Sony as the head of global scripted development and programming in 2018, will exit the company next month.

The Young and the Restless...

Marla Adams, best known for her 37 years in the role of Dina Abbott Mergeron on the CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless, died Thursday in Los Angeles. She was 85 and the cause of death was not disclosed.

Born in Ocean City, NJ, on August 28, 1938, Adams’ love for the stage was ignited after winning the Miss Ocean City and Miss Cape May pageants. She also finished as a runner-up in the Miss New Jersey pageant and was the Miss Diamond Jubilee Queen during the 1954 celebration of the 75th anniversary of Ocean City’s founding.

A student at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Adams appeared on Broadway in the 1958 production of The Visit at the Morosco Theatre with Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. She also starred as June in the 1961 feature film Splendor in the Grass.

Marla Adams, the Emmy-winning soap opera veteran who starred as the scheming Dina Abbott Mergeron during parts of five decades on The Young and the Restless, has died. She was 85.

Adams died Thursday in Los Angeles, Matt Kane, director of media and talent for Y&r, announced.

When she was just starting out, Adams appeared in 1958 alongside Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne on Broadway in The Visit and portrayed June, the high school best friend of Natalie Wood’s Deanie, in Elia Kazan’s Splendor in the Grass (1961).

Her first prominent role on a daytime drama came on CBS’ The Secret Storm, where she played bad girl Belle Clemens from 1968 until the show’s 1974 demise. “I was the bitch of daytime,” she said in a 2016 interview. “I played a good bitch.”

Adams joined Y&r in 1982 but left when her three-year contract was up. She returned to Genoa City for brief...

Ron Harper, who starred in iconic science-fiction series like Planet of the Apes and Land of the Lost, has died at 91. His daughter, Nicole Longeuay, says her father died of natural causes at his home in West Hills on Thursday.

Ron Harper, with his golden hair, piercing eyes, and suave demeanor, was an understudy for Paul Newman on Broadway before playing notable roles like Alan Virdon in the Planet of the Apes series, Uncle Jack in Land of the Lost, and Peter Whitmore in the TV series Generations. Before striking it rich with roles that would increase his star power, Harper appeared in four series that never got a second season, including 87th Precinct, Wendy and Me, The Jean Arthur Show, and Garrison’s Gorillas.

Thankfully, Planet of the Apes helped put Harper on executive’s watch lists. While Planet of the Apes didn’t last long on the air, Harper...

After understudying for Paul Newman on Broadway, Harper portrayed Det. Bert Kling alongside Norman Fell, Robert Lansing, Gregory Walcott and Gena Rowlands on the 1961-62 NBC cop show 87th Precinct, based on the novels of Ed McBain.

He played Jeff Conway, the husband of Connie Stevens’ character, on the 1964-65 ABC sitcom Wendy and Me, also starring George Burns, who produced the show and appeared as the owner of the apartment building in which the young couple lives.

Best known for portraying the role of Dr. Jamie Frame over a three-year run on “Another World,” actor Russell Todd will enter “The Locher Room” alongside host Alan Locher on the show’s Wednesday, February 28 episode, taking place live at 3:00 p.m. Et/noon Pt.

Russell will take a trip down memory lane as he looks back on his career as an actor, model, and agent. Outside of his roles on such soaps as “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Capitol” and “The Young and the Restless,” Russell is also known for starring in the films “Friday the 13th: Part 2” and the remake of “Where the Boys Are ‘84,” playing as Scott Nash, a role originated by Jim Hutton.

Russell’s other credits include the CBS series “High Mountain Rangers,” the TNT Western “Border Shootout,” “Jake and the Fatman” and “Riptide.” More recently, Russell wrapped production on the upcoming thriller “Stiletto,...

The dystopian sci-fi film "Logan's Run" is set in a supposedly idyllic future society where residents above 30 mysteriously disappear. The hedonistic metropolis is enclosed by a dome, and those who choose to explore the world outside — and the secrets that it holds — are labeled "runners." Michael York stars in the film as the titular protagonist, an undercover police officer who infiltrates the runners only to find that he, too, opposes the laws that he once worked to uphold and helps them lead an uprising.

"Logan's Run" was nominated for its cinematography and set decoration in the 1977 Academy Awards. It even received a special achievement award for its visual effects. The futuristic set and costume design were almost identical to the smash-hit sci-fi adventure film "Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope," which was released the following year. It's possible that "Star Wars" even drew inspiration from the 1976 film. However,...

Donald Trump announced his next piece of memorabilia last week, this time coming in the form of golden sneakers, priced at almost $400. And though “The View” hosts were gobsmacked at the price, Joy Behar did guess at one perk of the shoes.

“Well, maybe his supporters who buy them will be able to run faster from the Capitol Police in these sneakers,” she joked.

The shoes came up as part of the first Hot Topic of the day, in which the women discussed how Trump was ordered to pay $355 million in the verdict of his New York civil fraud trial. But, looking at the footwear, host Sunny Hostin couldn’t help but notice that they looked awful familiar.

Putting up a photo of Trump’s sneakers side-by-side with a pair of gold Gucci sneakers, Hostin pointed out the similarities, with moderator Whoopi Goldberg adding on that the red bottoms of...

Quick Links What Is the History of Panem in The Hunger Games? The World of The Hunger Games Beyond Panem Life Outside Panem Remains Untouched

Popular series The Hunger Games is set in the dystopian nation of Panem, which is composed of numerous districts. Ruling the country is the tyrannical Capitol, which enforces its will upon the less-than elite. This manifests in the Hunger Games themselves, with the citizens of the districts forced to engage in this barbaric practice at the behest of The Capitol. Though the bloody arena of these battles are frequently focused upon, the series never really explores what's outside the sovereign state.

As the only known home for humanity following the nuclear wars and climate change that decimated the planet, Panem's citizens believe life simply does not exist outside their walls. In both the Hunger Games novels and movies, the world outside of Panem is rarely mentioned.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

New artwork for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes depicts the 10th Hunger Games as a spectacle with a towering statue, buildings covered in television screens, and Capitol iconography. The 10th Hunger Games introduces changes that lay the foundation for the future Games, including narrating the events like entertainment and implementing a sponsorship system based on viewer support. The mentorship program in the 10th Hunger Games involves Capitol students as mentors, while later Games feature former victors as mentors, ensuring continued division among the Districts and control by the Capitol.

New artwork for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes showcases how the Games become a spectacle in the prequel adaptation. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes focuses on the 10th Hunger Games, 64 years before the 74th, which Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark win together.

The Hunger Games franchise's success has sparked renewed interest in the series' mythology, including the Panem map and its 13 Districts. Most of the information about the Districts comes from Katniss Everdeen's point of view, resulting in some gaps in knowledge. Panem is a dystopian nation that rose from the ashes of natural disasters and wars, governed by President Snow and characterized by a stark divide between The Capitol and the outer Districts.

Things once again got physical in Congress this week, so “The Daily Show” decided to report straight from the middle of the action on Wednesday night. Unfortunately for correspondent Desi Lydic, that meant some torn clothes and a clear black eye, because you “can’t report on congressional fight club without joining it.”

Before Lydic entered the scene though, guest host Leslie Jones shamed the near-brawls, and specifically called out Kevin McCarthy, who purportedly elbowed a Republican congressman who voted him out in the kidneys.

“Oh my God, you guys are such children. You act like 5-year-olds, this is insane,” Jones scolded. “Listen, I know what it’s like to want to fight a co-worker. But don’t do that at work! You wait for them in the parking lot like a responsible adult!”

From there, Jones handed things over to Lydic, reporting from the halls of the Capitol. But the moment she appeared on-screen,...

“I went with my sister and my mom to the theatre to see it,” Zegler said of her movie-going experience, reports People magazine. Although she was prepared, she couldn’t say the same for another audience member. “The woman next to my sister had never read the books or seen the film before, and when the mutts came out, she started screaming, ‘What’s gonna happen next?’” she shared.

The Morning Show season 3 reveals a shocking secret that Bradley and Cory are hiding, which exceeds all expectations. Bradley covers up footage of her brother storming the Capitol on January 6, putting her and Cory, who helped her, in a difficult position. If their secret is exposed, Bradley and Cory could face serious legal consequences such as felony charges for tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice.

The Morning Show season 3 spent its first few episodes teasing a secret that Bradley and Cory were hiding, and episode 5 confirmed that it’s worse than viewers could have ever expected. The reveal of Bradley and Cory’s secret helped explain just why they were so concerned about it getting out with the Uba cyberhack and the lengths they were willing to go to keep it hidden. There have been many shocking secrets in The Morning Show with serious implications if they ever got out,...

Copycat movies have been a thing forever. You can look at the broader scope and consider that most slasher movies became copycat in one way or another. A supernatural killer, excessive gore and nudity, and even the high body counts. That style of horror movies could become a dime a dozen. Twin films are similar, but they are made at roughly the same time and actually trying to release first to beat the other to market so as to not be seen as an attempted clone of the other studios idea. Boiling it down even further, some copycats go beyond just the themes and even try to take direct elements from the previous movie that made money.

In a riveting interview that has sent shockwaves through the nation, Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has revealed a stunning account of how vital intelligence was kept from him in the lead-up to the fateful events of January 6, 2021. Speaking exclusively to Tucker Carlson, Sund peeled back the curtain on a jaw-dropping revelation […]

The Hunger Games pays unusually close attention to propaganda, and how it sways the masses in its future dystopia. It's a common part of such stories -- George Orwell devoted a great of time to it in his seminal novel 1984 -- but The Hunger Games adds a fascinating wrinkle: celebrities, not all of whom wish to be the center of attention. That connects its story more closely to the contemporary world, where everyone really is famous for 15 minutes.

That includes a camera crew and director who follow Katniss Everdeen around during the saga's final act, recording her engagements with the forces of the tyrannical Capitol. Messalla, played by Evan Ross, works as a production assistant and helps keep Katniss safe during The Hunger Games' climactic revolt. The actor does the same job that so many of the movies' supporting figures do: create a fleshed-out character with just a few precious minutes of screen time.

“Morning Joe” slammed the GOP’s “deeply unserious” calls for a red state secession, calling it a money-making ploy to appeal to far-right donors.

On Monday morning, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted that “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” drawing furious responses from the left and more moderate right.

“This is so laughable because blue states as we all know are the donor states, or the states where taxpayers take it on the chin to take care of districts like Marjorie Taylor Greene’s, to take care of districts across taxes where Ted Cruz talks about secession,” host Joe Scarborough said on Tuesday’s episode of “Morning Joe.”

“What is it that so deeply offends [Republicans], like three trans athletes in Utah want to swim? Is that real?” he asked guest commentator Charlie Sykes.

Twenty minutes after ending his State of the Union address Tuesday, President Joe Biden was still shaking hands in the double doorway of the House chamber, even though many members having already left, much of the room was already cleared and Speaker Kevin McCarthy had already called it a night.

One year after the fact, the uprising that took place, before millions of horrified and amazed eyes, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021 — a protest, an insurrection, a riot, an act of mass vandalism, a piece of made-for-the-media guerrilla theater, and a primal assault on democracy — looks, if anything, even scarier now than it did then.

A group of anarchists posing as freedom fighters, busting into the Capitol, threatening and committing violence, taking cues (one almost wants to say orders) from on high — that is, from the President of the United States. However ramshackle it may have been in execution, this was an attempted coup, and the meaning of it should never be far from our minds. The reason you could say it’s scarier now is that the riot, at the time, was contained; it was a slipshod coup that failed. But with a year of hindsight,...

Lt. Michael Byrd, the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 insurrection, is telling his side of the story.

Byrd sat down with NBC’s Lester Holt for a revealing interview that aired on the network on Thursday. In it, he recounted the events of the fateful day a horde of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and opened up about the fallout he’s faced afterward.

Byrd said that the shot he fired at Babbitt’s shoulder was the first in his 28 years as an officer.

“I spent countless years preparing for such a moment. You ultimately hope that moment never occurs but you prepare as best you can,” he told Holt. “I know that day, I saved countless lives. I know members of Congress, as well as my fellow officers and staff, were in jeopardy and in serious danger and that’s my job.

CNN has made it official, announcing that NBC News and MSNBC vet Kasie Hunt is joining the WarnerMedia news network as anchor and chief national affairs analyst.

Hunt is also the first official anchor for CNN+, the streaming service launching in the first quarter of 2022. She will host a daily politics-themed show on the new outlet and will also appear on and report for CNN U.S., covering national and breaking news.

Hunt’s NBC exit was reported last month, with sources indicating CNN would be her next stop. She will be based in Washington and start work at CNN on September 7.

The forthcoming CNN+ show show will draw on Hunt’s experience covering presidential campaigns, Congress and establishment Washington to the platform. Before her eight-year run at NBC, she was the lead Associated Press reporter aboard Mitt Romney’s campaign plane in 2012 and was a health policy reporter for National Journal’s CongressDaily.

Updated, with details on Hunt’s move to CNN: MSNBC host and NBC News correspondent Kasie Hunt announced her departure at the end of Way Too Early on Friday, promising that she would announce her next move “in the next few weeks.”

Hunt plans to join CNN, according to a source familiar with her plans. Variety, which first reported the move, also reported that she would focus largely on streaming content as the network develops a streaming service, with reports that it will be called CNN+.

Hunt did not immediately return a request via Twitter for comment.

“This is going to be my final broadcast with all of you,” Hunt said, adding that she would have more on her “next adventure” in “the next few weeks.”

She added, “I just want to thank everyone at NBC News, at MSNBC, of course to Mika, for always insisting that you should know your value.
