in case you missed it...

so...
the MTV movie awards were last night.
and of course, anything that had to do with "hunger games" won something.

and after winning "best shirtless performance" (ah, only mtv), zac efron got his shirt ripped off by rita ora.

or does he just walk around that spray tanned and contoured?!?!

your first look...

congrats, sparkle bunny!

hollywood "it girl" (ugh, i really hate that term) lupito n'yongo graces one of the five covers for the may issue of marie claire.
FABULOUS.

she shares cover honors with kate mara, elle fanning, emilia clarke, and elizabeth olsen.
the other girls are of course fresh faced and pretty, but there's just something about miss lupita.
flawlessssssss.
(and is it just me, or do the rest of these chickies look like they haven't slept in a few days?? just saying...)
