It's been an intense, horrific, and truly tragic week, but finally, the American public can start to breath a sigh a relief, knowing that after a 24-hour manhunt through suburban streets, the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, has been arrested.

And while President Barack Obama held a press conference from The White House last night to address the nation and congratulate not only the local, state and federal authorities, but also the people of Boston for their bravery, resole, and determination in this time of crisis, all sorts of celebrities descended to Twitter to join in the celebration…and give their own, personal thanks for a job truly well-done!

Ch-ch-check out what the likes of Kim Kardashian, Watertown native Eliza Dushku, Olivia Wilde, Charlie Sheen and many more had to say…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

And here we were, thinking that we'd just be getting our Catching Fire fix when a new trailer for the much-anticipated Hunger Games sequel when it premieres tonight at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards!

Guess what? We were wrong!

While we'll be sure to freaking out with excitement in just a few short hours, our heart is already a'flutter, as a brand new production still has moseyed its way onto the internet, featuring our brave tributes Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, with our beloved Elizabeth Banks sandwiched between them!

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

Looks to us like the Capitol's FASHION SENSE has gotten even MORE avante garde since we last saw it!

And believe us! That is a VERY good thing!

What do U think?? Are U excited to see even MORE where this came from at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards?!

If you've always wondered why they cast Elizabeth Banks instead of Tara Reid as Effie Trinket in the Hunger Games… well, we don't have an answer for you. Sorry!

What we DO have, though, is what she would've looked like!

Ch-ch-check out Tara as Effie in the pic she posted to Twitter (above)! Not bad at all! She's dressed this way for a new project of her own, an untitled comedy produced by Jamie Kennedy!

Here's what she had to say:

Ah, the silky smooth master of style!

He could play dress up with us any time, LOLz!!

As Lionsgate's latest Capitol Portrait so obviously displays, Lenny Kravitz is PERFECTLY cast as Cinna in the Hunger Games films!

Like Stanley Tucci's craftily coiffed Caesar Flickerman, Lenny's badass character basically blends in with the backdrop, but his eyes remain fiercely rebellious!

Well hello again Miss Effie Trinket!

Hunger Games fans (AKA everyone ever LOLz), prepare to feast your peepers on a slice of tasty Catching Fire pie in the form of a "Capitol Portrait" featuring District 12's official representative, Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks, above)!

This stylized image was posted today on Catching Fire's Facebook, and was accompanied by the caption:

What a weekend it's already turned out to be, folks!

Well, at least for you folks currently waking up to find yourselves trapped beneath pounds and pounds of SNOW!

As we all know, Blizzard Storm Nemo has swum itself right up the east coast of the United States, and pretty much wreaked havoc for everyone living in its path!

But don't worry! The worst of it seems to be over…and now, we can enjoy MORE of the HIGHlarious things celebrities wrote on Twitter while dealing with the winter craziness themselves!

Excuse us! Not everyone just wrote!

Our beloved Snooki Snickers, for example, went so far as to SHARE a photo of herself attempting to shovel herself out of the snowpacolypse!

Ch-ch-check out the photo (above), which she captioned:

That's right! My ass shoveling the driveway 👏👏👏💪 instagr.am/p/Ve13ZkBjne/

Oh MAN!

We just are curious as to how long it took you to complete such a difficult task, compared to how long it took for the snow to cover back up all of your hard work!

Well, either way, at least you look absolutely FEROSH the entire time, gurl!

And THAT is what counts! Hope you're staying warm…and SAFE!

No, it's not a legit Twilight/Hunger Games mashup, although, now that we think of it, that idea neeeeeeds to happen!

BUT, we're getting as close to a Twi-Games collision as possible as Kristen Stewart has finally signed on for her next big role with none other than Effie Trinket herself, Elizabeth Banks.

The two will star along Jim Starguess in the new film The Big Shoe, which is a story about a shoe designer trying to break apart from his family.

Sounds intriguing… And what's curiouser and curiouser is neither KStew nor, er, EBanks will playing in the lead part.

If they really wanted to make our casting wishes come true, perhaps they could throw in a little R-Patz and J-Hutch as well??
