Elizabeth Banks is getting ready for the Hunger Games!

More importantly, she's getting her son Felix ready!

The HIGHlarious Pitch Perfect star was spotted teaching her adorable boy to ride a scooter on the NYC streets on Monday.

The balance he learns just might save his life! You know, if he ever has to spend a day in a tree while ruthless District 1 kids wait below!

The little guy didn't seem to pick up on it right away, but you better believe Elizabeth is going to keep coaching him until he's riding on his own!

And you can take that to the Banks!

Josh Hutcherson is so cute! Even when he's covered in weird tree makeup!

But especially when he's doing something this adorable!

The Hunger Games star was spotted in Studio City this week stepping out for a little bowling with a hot date- his mom!

Michelle Hutcherson was looking fantastic too! She probably needed her little Peta to fend off all the suitors!

Taking Mom to the Oscars is one thing, but to play team sports? Love it! Your move, Ryan Gosling!

She isn't pregnant, yet.

But any man whom entertains the idea of dating this action movie star will have to keep this tidbit of information in the back of their mind.

Jennifer Lawrence minced no words when it came to describing what her purpose is in this life.

And it has nothing to do with Hunger Games - gasp!

Here's what she said:

Elizabeth Banks & Ben Falcone were spotted taking out their kids for a baby stroll!

The Hunger Games star & the Bridesmaid actor became close on the set of a movie, recently and seem to be inseparable ever since.

They're not just friends, they're best friends!

We love how cute their kids are, and we wish they would parade them around more often.

They deserve to be seen!

Hopefully, we'll see them more.

May the odds be ever in our favor.

Lolz!

Don't hate The Games!

American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom has announced that The Hunger Games trilogy is among the most controversial books for schools.

This means of all the books in America this year, Suzanne Collins' three young adult novels have received the most formal, written complaints filed with a library or school requesting it be restricted or removed.

Most of the objectors say the books are "sexually explicit" and "unsuited to age group and violence."

Collins response to these complaints:

"That's not unreasonable. They are violent. It's a war trilogy."

Well, she's got a point!

Duh! Of course the book has violence, HOWEVER one of the series' most obvious themes is anti-violence.

What do U think? Should The Hunger Games should be allowed in schools?

Thinking of naming your child Rue, Emmett, or Arya??

You're not alone.

According to the baby naming website Nameberry, three of the hottest series in pop culture right now are having quite the effect on new parents.

The most popular names of 2012 include Rue, the cute little doe-eyed heroine from The Hunger Games, the sideways-hat-wearing Emmett Cullen from Twilight, and Aria (a play on Arya, the adorable little bad*ss from Game of Thrones).

Check out the rest of 2012's most popular baby names BELOW!

1.) Rue
2.) Emmett
3.) Ivy (as in Blue Ivy) and Adele
4.) Grayson (from Revenge)
5.) Aria (Arya)
6.) Cato (the brutal character from The Hunger Games - weird)

Some kids don't have to skip school to see Katniss Everdeen fight for her life — their schools are letting them miss class AND even buying the tickets!

Apparently now The Hunger Games is part of high school curriculum. (And we had to read Turning of the Screw!)

Thousands of schools assigned the first book in Suzanne Collins' best-selling trilogy as mandatory reading for English class. Now that the movie has come out, it's only natural that students should be allowed to miss class to see it, right??

UGH! How come our schools were never that cool?!

It's not we're the only jealous. 15-year-old David Schwartz, who got to see the flick on a school outing, bragged:

"All of my friends who don't go to my school are all really jealous."

And, if you think the kiddies aren't learning much from this "educational" field trip, English teacher Brigid Barry has a message for you:

"Sometimes you get a kid in the program who has never read a full book, so to see them excited to read this one, to accomplish that, is really something."

HA! Riiiiiiight!

Obvi, these teachers just wanted to see The Hunger Games for free. JK!
