'Vanity Fair' Profiles the Young Cast of 'The Hunger Games' Movie


More excitement for The Hunger Games fans! Just last week we got a first look at the promotional posters of some of the main characters from the film. And today Vanity Fair has a beautiful photo spread and interactive profile of the young cast.

From VanityFair.com:
"While the odds may not be in favor of these actors in the arena, they certainly were in the casting room. In what was one of the most-watched casting calls for young actors since Twilight, auditions for The Hunger Games were a battle royale in their own right.

Video: Merhaba, Türkiye (Hello, Turkey)


Pat in Goreme, Cappadocia, Turkey

Last month Billy, five friends and I took a trip across the world to Turkey. It was all of our first time there and we had such an amazing adventure. We spent three nights in Istanbul, two days and one night in Goreme in the Cappadocia region of inland Turkey, and headed back to Istanbul for one final night and day of sightseeing and exploration.

Each of us took hundreds of photos -- the country is gorgeous! -- and we were all recording random moments on video, too. Check out the compilation video of our trip, including taking in the historic sites, exploring an ancient cave city, horseback riding through Love Valley and even a little clubbing.
