Amandla Stenberg, Hunger Games Star, Responds to Racist Tweets

Amandla Stenberg, the 13-year old actress who plays Rue in The Hunger Games, has spoken out on the unexpected, ignorant, racist controversy that has somehow enveloped her beloved character.

In response to posts on Twitter that dared to wonder why Rue was portrayed by an African-American on screen - one actually wrote: "Why did the producer make all the good characters black?" - Stenberg has taken the mature road and released a statement that reads:

"As a fan of the books, I feel fortunate to be part of The Hunger Games family. It was an amazing experience; I am proud of the film and my performance. I want to thank all of my fans and the entire Hunger Games community for their support and loyalty."

Cosmopolis Trailer: Released, Intense

Robert Pattinson will return to the familiar role of Edward Cullen this November, as The Twilight Saga wraps up with Breaking Dawn Part 2.

Prior to that blockbuster's release, however, fans will get a look at this actor like they've truly never seen him before: lying naked in bed; shooting his own hand with a gun; acting like a 28-year old billionaire in Manhattan who is in for one seriously messed up day in the film Cosmopolis.

It's an intense starring role, one originally meant for Colin Farrell before he dropped out due to a scheduling conflict. Watch the first official Cosmopolis trailer and keep an eye out for the movie U.S. release date. It hits theaters in France on May 23.
