Dwyane Wade was recently at a book signing in Coral Gables Florida.

He was at a book store called Books and Books (great name for a bookstore) and he wasn't just in there sneaking around, signing copies of random books like Twilight or The Hunger Games.

He was signing copies of his book, A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball!

He luckily walked stumbled away with only a minor concussion.

In Manhattan, a fusion sushi shop called Sushi Shop (great name, right?) has a sushi box designed by Lenny Kravitz.

So, when Liam Hemsworth found out that he landed The Hunger Games, he went out for pizza and beer with friends.

This seemed counter productive to his brother Chris, so Liam said this happened:

Josh Hutcherson may have introduced co-star Liam Hemsworth to White Castle while filming, but he had to maintain a strict high-protein diet and intense exercise regimen before traveling to Kentucky to shoot The Hunger Games.

At a press junket for the film, which is hitting theaters on Friday, the young actor said he had to endure a lot more changes in his life than the color his hair, explaining:

"I had to put on a lot of weight, so I was in the process of eating chicken, eggs and protein and all that fun stuff."

The fun stuff he's referring to is probably the intense workouts he completed five days a week with his ex-Navy Seal trainer Logan Hood. The 19-year-old revealed that the "unconventional" training sessions left him "sore for four days afterwards." Since the duo, along with Hemsworth, worked out the majority of the week, he was "in a constant state of soreness!"

Hemsworth backed up his co-stars claims when he chimed in to add:

"I worked out with him for an hour and literally I would have to lay down for 20 minutes because I couldn't drive away. It would be dangerous to drive away straight afterwards! I was going to pass out."

So what was so tough about this workout? Hood had his clients "flipping tires in the parking lot and slamming baseball bats against body bags," which worked out muscles "you didn't even know you had." At the end of the day, the intense training sessions left Josh wondering, "How am I possibly this sore?"

It looks like all of his hard work will pay off though because analysts are predicting that the film is going to be a box office smash!

Liam Hemsworth admits he did not have to go through nearly as much training as his co-star Jennifer Lawrence did to prepare for her role as Katniss, but he did have to slim down to look his Hunger Games part.

While attending a New York City screening the of the film, which hits theaters on Friday, the actor told sources:

"There weren't too many stunts or fighting in this one for my character, but my character lives in District 12, which is the poorest district, and I had to lose quite a bit of weight for it."

Once on set in Kentucky, however, Liam and his co-star Josh Hutcherson were able to splurge a little bit. Being from the state himself, Josh introduced Liam to one of his favorite fast food joints — White Castle!

It turns out that greasy burgers and fries aren't the best thing to eat before playing a game of basketball (who knew?), as Liam explained:

"When we were shooting the film, actually, me and Josh went to Kentucky. He's from Kentucky. And we had a few days off from shooting and we decided to get White Castle which I'd never had before, and then we played basketball after eating the White Castle and we threw up a little bit so yeah, that was interesting."

Sounds more disgusting than interesting, but boys will be boys! Ha!

Glad you got to eat some quality new food while spending time in Kentucky, Liam!
