Jennifer Lawrence Makes Forbes' 30 Under 30 List

Jennifer Lawrence is on about a million "Best" lists this awards season for her turn as Rosalyn Rosenfeld in American Hustle and also her general awesomeness (not to mention this little movie she stars in, Catching Fire. Maybe you've heard of it?). She's landed on yet another list  - Forbes' 30 Under 30, their annual tally of the brightest stars in 15 different fields under the age of 30. Here's what Forbes had to say about Jen.

In 2013 the Academy crowned her Best Actress and the Internet crowned her "our best friend." Her candor made her a sensation, and her girl-next-door relatability didn't dampen her earning power. She's officially one of the highest-paid women in Hollywood, reportedly earning $10 million for "Catching Fire." Fans who can't wait for the final two installments of "The Hunger Games" can see Lawrence in "American Hustle" and next year's "X-Men" flick.

Costume designer Trish Summerville revealed some of the inspiration behind the looks she created for Catching Fire in a recent THR.com article.

Photo by Joe PuglieseSummerville jumped from styling music stars (Pink, No Doubt) to big-budget movies in 2011, when she nailed the punky garb for David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, for which she won a Costume Designers Guild Award. Now she's gone futuristic for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, with jaw-dropping ball gowns for Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), Cerre leather moto jackets for Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and hyper-designed Alexander McQueen dresses (including one with trembling butterflies) for Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks). The biggest challenge? Outfitting the Games contestants, who all are in unitard-like sweatsuits that had to fit 24 different body types ranging from age 19 to 79. Says Summerville, "The shoes also had to be things they could swim in and run on lava rock."

Sam Claflin and Jena Malone Talk Mockingjay in Empire's 2014 Movie Preview Issue

Sam Claflin and Jena Malone talk about Mockingjay and their characters Finnick Odair and Johanna Mason in Empire Magazine's 2014 Movie Preview Issue. Check out the article by Olly Richards:

When you're appearing alongside the most famous actress in the world right now, it's hard to steal much glory for yourself, but in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire both Sam Claflin and Jena Malone managed to wrestle just a little limelight from Jennifer Lawrence to become the sequel's breakout stars. And without warning to spoil anything, both are about to become even more significant in the final two films, in very different ways. Not that any of this is quite registering with Claflin, who plays the studly Finnick Odair, just yet.

"I'm still surprised they've picked me," he says, with a very British self-deprecation that is likely to serve him well in America. "Every time I see Francis I'm convinced he's not going to know who I am... I mean, I'm not the Finnick in the book. I've got brown hair, a beard, I'm a bit overweight, not 24 and I'm not seven foot... I was fully ready for the fans to hate me!"

Claflin has had a good warm-up to becoming a household name. After the old actorly cliche of a burgeoning football career truncated by injury, he slipped fairly easily into the romantic role in Snow White and The Huntsman, before The Hunger Games came calling. "It is weird that all those films are big, but I've done very little things that nobody's seen too," he says, absolutely determined that he not at any point celebrate his own achievements. "And honestly, nobody's recognizing me. Maybe it's because Finnick always has his top off. I've not been walking round much with my top off."   

Mockingjay will see less nudity and more neurosis from Finnick. "I'm honestly so scared about saying anything at all, even though, as you say, the books are out there," say Claflin. "But you see more of Finnick. No, not like THAT. More of his reasons for being how he is. Oh, you know what I mean!"

Unlike Claflin, Jena Malone has had almost two decades of being recognized, starting her acting career at the age of 11 and working consistently since in everything from Stepmom to Donnie Darko to Sucker Punch. But more often than not she's been the good, sweet girl - something her Hunger Games incarnation, Johanna Mason, would find deeply off-putting.
