Katniss Everdeen Wax Figure Launches at Madame Tussaud's

Madame Tussaud's London outpost debuted their Katniss Everdeen wax figure today. The extraordinarily lifelike representation of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss is wearing the hunting jacket and cowl that we all recognize (and love) from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Wonder if Jennifer has seen it and what she thinks of it?

The New York and Los Angeles locations also have new Katniss Everdeen displays. The New York Tussaud's location has Katniss in her arena outfit for the 74th Hunger Games in an arena setting.

The Hollywood Tussaud's location has a very similar display to the London location, with Katniss in her hunting outfit from Catching Fire and the projection mapped burning mockingjay:

Josh Hutcherson Named One 2014's Coolest Straight People In Entertainment by The Advocate

The Advocate has named Josh Hutcherson one of the "Coolest Straight People in Entertainment" in their year in review. Their list includes those who have raised the bar on what it means to be an LGBT ally in entertainment.

From Advocate.com:

Josh Hutcherson
The 5-foot-7 star of the Hunger Games saga stands head and shoulders above many other heterosexual males of his generation who count themselves among the growing number of LGBT allies. At the age of 19, Hutcherson became the youngest person to ever receive the prestigious Vanguard Award from GLAAD for his dedication to equality for LGBT youth through his heavy involvement with the Straight But Not Narrow Campaign — a branch of the gay-straight alliance movement. This year the 22-year-old continued adding his star power to the crusade, and brought several of his famous friends to the fight as well. He hosted the third annual celebrity basketball game benefiting Straight But Not Narrow in August, where he weighed in on why he believes the need to support LGBT youth won’t fade simply because civil rights like marriage equality are becoming a reality across the county. “Marriage equality is great, but it doesn’t help a lot of people, especially young people who are in school,” he told The Advocate. "They can’t even get married yet. So those are the ones who are dealing with [bullying] and at such a formidable age well.”

With allies like Hutcherson on our side, there’s no doubt the odds are in our favor.
