To no one's surprise, the highly anticipated "Hunger Games" opened last week to boffo box-office numbers, all but guaranteeing the second installment in Suzanne Collins' series, "Catching Fire," will set theaters ablaze come November 22, 2013.

Director Gary Ross, who will also helm the follow-up, has already begun formulating his vision for the 75th annual Hunger Games, telling MTV News, "I have some ideas about how to do 'Catching Fire' slightly differently, but I don't want to share them yet. Not because I'm being evasive, but just because they're not fully baked. But yes, I think it will look and feel slightly different from the first."

With its jungle-like setting, the next arena will be a much different beast than the forested first, so it's no wonder Ross is re-jiggering his approach. We can only speculate that some of his sequel planning will include reviewing "The Hunger Games" in great detail — what worked and what didn't. To that end, we've compiled a list of five "Hunger Games" lessons that can and should inform "Catching Fire."

DO keep the arena underwraps
This one isn't so much for Ross as it is for the Gamemakers at Lionsgate, but we have to recognize the studio's smart decision to use only pre-Games footage in their aggressive marketing campaign for the film. In fact, I'd go so far as to say my favorite parts of the movie were from the arena, largely because they were fresh and unexpected. With the Quarter Quell's intriguing new venue, Lionsgate would be wise to build anticipation by keeping the tropical death trap shrouded in mystery.

DON'T skimp on the CGI
If there was a consistent complaint I heard from "Hunger Games" fans following the film's release, it was that the Girl on Fire scene — in which Katniss and Peeta introduce themselves to the Capitol, riding atop a chariot and flaunting flame-licked jumpsuits representative of their coal-mining home — was ... underwhelming. The flame effect just didn't look real enough. With a slew of new sci-fi aspects introduced in "Catching Fire," including mutated monkeys, we hope Ross can invest a bit more in the film's digital technology.

DO capitalize on Stanley Tucci
Say what you will about Jennifer Lawrence's gripping, gritty performance as Katniss Everdeen, but if anyone could be categorized as the film's scene-stealer, it was most certainly Stanley Tucci, whose blue-haired, big-teethed Caesar Flickerman was nothing short of mesmerizing (and a handy exposition device to boot!). Heck, I'd pay to watch a Caesar Flickerman spin-off once all three (four?) "Hunger Games" films debut. "Caesar Flickerman: Not So Blue." Think about it, Lionsgate.

DON'T downplay the dangers of the arena
Between her 23 fellow tributes, tracker jackers and muttations, Katniss had plenty to contend with in the arena. But, as my roommate so astutely pointed out to me long after I watched the film and didn't notice, we never really see Katniss hungry or thirsty. Limiting the violence for a PG-13 rating is an understandable edit, but why dull down the deadliness of the Games otherwise? In "Catching Fire," we need to see Katniss and her fellow tributes truly struggle, not simply limp along.

DO make artful additions (especially if they're directed by Steven Soderbergh)
By shifting the viewpoint of the film from Katniss' first-person perspective, Ross was able to open up the world of Panem in a way we hadn't experienced before. The addition of the control room, Seneca Crane's implied death by berries and, most notably, the District 11 riot only added to the film.

What do you think "Catching Fire" can learn from "The Hunger Games"? Sound off in the comments below and tweet me @amymwilk with your thoughts and suggestions for future columns!

Ralph Fiennes Chooses His Most Villainous Villain

From Lord Voldermort to a Nazi officer, the 'Wrath of the Titans' star chooses the baddest of his bad guys.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

Few actors have been known for playing the bad guy quite like Ralph Fiennes. His career has introduced him to all different sorts of evil characters, from a Nazi officer, to the darkest wizard of our time, and most recently in "Wrath of the Titans," Hades, the lord of the Underworld.

With such a long list of villainous evil-doers to his name, could there be a most evil Ralph Fiennes character?

Even the man himself couldn't say for certain when MTV News spoke with him. "If they're fantasy figures, I don't know how evil they are, but I guess somewhere between Amon Goeth [in 'Schindler's List'] and Francis Dolarhyde in 'Red Dragon' would be really evil," he said.

But after playing the worst characters some fictional worlds have to offer, Fiennes said that his latest character could signal a new trend toward mortality.

His most recent villain, Hades, turns out to be not much of one in "Wrath of the Titans." "Hades is full of resentment, and I guess he's pretty destructive initially," Fiennes said. "I like it in this film, he has a change of heart and joins forces with the brother he started off hating. So that was a bit more for me to play."

For his next role, in the upcoming James Bond film "Skyfall," no details have been officially shared about his character. But Fiennes did hint that it may be different from the villains he played in the past: "I don't think that qualifies as a villain. I think that my villain days are coming to an end, I think."

Who do you think is Ralph Fiennes' most evil character? Sound off in the comments section!

Most Overexposed Celebrities List

Forbes has released what they are calling a list of the most overexposed celebrities. It is quite a list with a few of my favorite celebrities on it. After conducting a survey in conjunction with E-Poll Research, the infamous Forbes magazine has come up with the most overexposed celebrities list. Now I am pretty sure as soon as you heard those words a good two or three people immediately popped into your head, well here is the Top Ten List of people. 1. Kim Kardashian 2. Lindsay Lohan 3. Nicole ?Snooki? Polizzi 4. Nadya ?Octomom? Suleman 5. Paris Hilton 6. Kate Gosselin 7. Mike. ?The Situation? Sorrentino 8. Kourtney Kardashian 9. Levi Johnston 10. Khloe Kardashian Along with the E-Poll Research that was conducted by Forbes also took into account 50 other factors that included things like awareness, personality traits and of course liability. In all honesty I don?t entirely understand how the magazine came up with this list of names but I will say this I am surprised by some of them. For example Levi Johnston I feel like he is so two years ago how did he make the list? Even Kate Gosselin for that matter hasn?t been [...]

'Anchorman 2': The Legend Of Ron Burgundy's Return

MTV News brings you a timeline of all the obstacles that once stood in the way of the now-greenlit sequel.
By Fallon Prinzivalli

Movie fans were overjoyed by Will Ferrell's announcement Wednesday night that "Anchorman 2" is finally happening.

The long journey since the release of the first film left us doubting whether a sequel would ever happen. With our doubts cast aside and our excitement on the rise, we've compiled a timeline of all the obstacles the team overcame to arrive at the ultimate destination.

August 14, 2008: Paul Rudd tells us he thinks "Anchorman" director Adam McKay and actor Will Ferrell were interested in doing a sequel. "Last I heard they were starting to write ['Anchorman 2']," Rudd says. The setting? Possibly the '80s or the moon.

May 27, 2009: Ferrell tells Aussie radio DJs Jono & Dana that he'll be meeting with the "Anchorman" creators to "figure out when and how" to get a sequel in the works.

August 28, 2009: In an interview with Empire magazine, "Anchorman" producer Judd Apatow suggests that in "Anchorman 2," Ron Burgundy, Brick Tamland and Brian Fantana will return as elderly men. "Those anchormen sometimes have their jobs until they're 75 years old," Apatow says.

September 1, 2009: Director McKay says that, due to the cast and crew's busy schedules, the sequel won't be available for another two years. He adds, "But we are definitely doing it." Whew.

April 6, 2010: Steve Carell confirms to our very own Josh Horowitz that the "Anchorman" cast "want[s] to do another one," but there is no script. "I don't think they've [even] decided on a story line yet," Carell says.

April 8, 2010: On the red carpet for his movie "Date Night," Carell lies about everything. He says "Anchorman 2" has already been shot in "just two days" while the cast was drunk. When asked if it was any good he says, "It's fantastic!" Honestly, with the talent in these comedians, we wouldn't be surprised if it was.

April 27, 2010: Adam McKay reveals that, aside from the actor's schedules, another holdup in the sequel is payment. Since the cast went on to become even more famous after the first movie, "Everybody's prices went up." Graciously, the cast agreed to take a pay cut, which is almost unheard of in Hollywood.

April 29, 2010: McKay dashes all our hopes and dreams in a single tweet: "So bummed. Paramount basically passed on Anchorman 2. Even after we cut our budget down. We tried."

May 3, 2010: Hope is restored! As it turns out, Paramount is eager to film the sequel. Deadline reports, however, the "Anchorman" team is forced to regroup as they have a budget gap of $30 million to overcome.

June 6, 2010: With financial issues in the way, Paul Rudd jokes that if "Anchorman 2" doesn't happen, "We'll look to do 'Anchorman 3.' "

July 19, 2010: Yet again, it seems as if "Anchorman 2" is never going to happen. The saddest part? Neither is the proposed "Anchorman" musical. A few days later, Christina Applegate says she feels let down by the news.

May 2, 2011: All hope is officially lost when Ferrell tells Collider that the sequel "is a brick wall right now" and they're "playing around with the idea" of a "Step Brothers" sequel instead.

And suddenly...

March 28, 2012: Ferrell announces on "Conan" that "Anchorman 2" is officially happening with the original director, Adam McKay, and most of the principal castmembers, including Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. The stars have aligned. It's finally happening. Cue celebration!

Box Office: "The Hunger Games" Tops "Titans" & "Mirror Mirror"

Holding off strong showings by two newly released contestants, "The Hunger Games" continued its dominant performance by remaining in the top spot at the box office over the weekend of March 30-April 1, 2012.

The Jennifer Lawrence starring Sci-Fi/Action/Drama film based on Suzanne Collins' best-selling book raked in an estimated $24 million on Friday with its second weekend total predicted to wind up at a solid $75 million - which puts its grand total past the $190 million mark.

Pitching in on another big weekend for Hollywood is runner-up "Wrath of the Titans," as the Sam Worthington starring action/adventure film is on track to score a $11.2 million opening day while trending towards a debut weekend gross of $29 million.

Rounding out the top five at the box office in estimated totals are the Julia Roberts/Lily Collins led Snow White tale "Mirror Mirror" ($22 million), followed by a style="color: #FF5AAD; text-decoration: none" href="/channing-tatum/story" target=""> Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill's comedy caper "21 Jump Street" ($11 million) and the animated Dr. Seuss family flick "The Lorax" ($8.5 million).

Titanic 'Still Sinks' In 3-D, James Cameron Confirms

'Jack still dies,' director says of the 3-D re-release which he says 'reinvents' the 1997 flick.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

James Cameron

When "Titanic" hits the big screen again on April 4, the ship will be changing course and heading directly into the audience. Director James Cameron has been one of 3-D's biggest proponents for years now and has suggested in the past that any film is open for a three-dimensional makeover. It only makes sense, then, that he put his money where his mouth is and converted his own "Titanic."

Cameron spoke with MTV UK about the process and why the real reward of the re-release is the chance to see his blockbuster on the silver screen again after 15 years.

The director insisted that the movie remains as it was back in 1997, except for the added dimension. "It ends the same way. The ship still sinks. Jack still dies. Oops, I hope I didn't spoil it," he said.

As Cameron has said before, he believes that the 3-D element of the re-release plays a supporting role. He simply wants people to see "Titanic" as it was meant to be seen: in a theater. "I think the first thing you should think of, the most important thing, is that you're going to see it in a movie theater, which is really fundamentally different for anyone who is under a certain age. It hasn't been in a theater for 15 years, so people know it from video. But they haven't taken that ride where you commit to the three hours, and you're going to go on that emotional rollercoaster, and you're going to come out of the end of the movie in a certain mental, emotional state. It's very different."

That isn't the say that the 3-D doesn't add anything. Cameron sees the conversion as a way to reinterpret the experience. "The 3-D is a kind of way of doing that, a way of reinventing the film, and the 3-D does add something to the experience that was never there before, an immediacy, even an intimacy, which is interesting."

Luckily for Cameron, he had originally shot "Titanic" in a way that was conducive to a 3-D conversion. "Even though I wasn't shooting it as a 3-D movie 15 years ago, my particular style is to use wider lenses and to wrap the actors in the scenery," Cameron said. "Because the ship — I don't like to use the term that it was a character — but the environment was constantly informing what was happening, the elegance, the beauty of the ship, the gilt-edged luxury juxtaposed with steerage third class. All those themes are really manifested in the physicality of the ship. The style of seeing all of that when you convert it to 3-D, it just has this lucidity. You just feel like you're there."

Are you planning on seeing the 3-D re-release of "Titanic"? Leave your comment below!

Adele: March 2012 cover girl of Vogue

Adele posed for an elegantly put together Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot spread while talking about everything from ridding of the booze to her highly publicized vocal cord surgery. Highlights from Adele's interview are as follows.

On her 'loud' personality: ?I am quite loud and bolshie,? she says (British slang for unruly and clamorous). ?I?m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.? Indeed. There is no doubt when Adele is in the building. The rule of thumb for protecting one?s vocal cords, she tells me, is: If people are more than an arm?s length away, you shouldn?t talk to them. ?But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,? she says, laughing. ?It?s really bad.?

On giving up drinking last May: ?Don?t like drinking anymore. I think I got it out of my system. D?yaknowhaImean??

On her vocal troubles: ?I?ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I?ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.? She flew to London the next morning to see her doctor and was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. After a couple weeks? rest, she continued her European tour, came to America, and then her voice went again in May. ?That was a hemorrhage... a burst blood vessel on my vocal cord. That healed, I did a tour, and then it happened again at my best friend?s wedding on October 1.?

On getting support through her surgery from other artists: ?John Mayer had it done at the same time as I did and he really helped me be chilled out about it. Roger Daltrey?s had loads of stuff done; Steven Tyler reached out; Elton John. Lots of artists have had problems with their voices, but you don?t know about it. And they are still singing incredibly well in their 50s and 60s.?

On her six Grammy nominations: ?I burst into tears when I found out. And I would love, absolutely love, to win. This record is coming to an end, and that would be the final brick on it.? [gallery=821]

Ashley Greene Hits Herald Square for DKNY

Tending to her DKNY brand ambassador obligations, Ashley Greene was on-hand for a fan greeting at Macy's Herald Square in New York City on Thursday evening (March 29).

Decked out in a red blouse with a burnt orange skirt and matching heels, the 25-year-old "Twilight" actress posed for pictures before taking a seat and signing autographs for the long line of attendees.

The appearance comes after Miss Greene spent the previous day as DKNY's guest blogger, in which she shared tidbits about her routine.

As for maintaining her svelte figure, the Alice Cullen cutie wrote, "To stay fit, I work out 2-3 times per week at either Tracy Anderson's studio or Physique 57."

She also dished about her reality TV guilty pleasure, posting, "I'm loving 'American Idol' these days. Such amazing talent on that show."

Jason Hoppy Moves Out

A few days ago I reported that Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy’s marriage was on the rocks. Well, now new reports are out claiming that Jason has moved out of their $5 million Tribeca apartment. Jason has traded his newly renovated apartment for a hotel nearby because Bethenny’s “energy has been nervous and neurotic. He can?t take it anymore, so he?s been doing everything on his own.? Jason is telling friends that he moved due to renovations, but why would mom and baby stay behind while daddy leaves? that is a typical break up move. Bethenny isn’t letting on if they have split, tweeting about their 2nd wedding anniversary. Bethenny is the first one to admit that she struggles with relationships, so I am not a bit surprised. I do hope they can work it out. Seriously after watching their reality show, it is not ALL Bethenny. Sure she can be difficult, she is a woman, we all are;) but Jason is a big baby. He is so attached to his parents and so quick to judge Bethenny, who could deal with that? Meanwhile it seems Bethenny’s Bravo reality series is taking a back burner while her new talk show [...]

'Titanic' Looks 'Spectacular' In 3-D, James Cameron Says

Film's 3-D conversion 'takes it to a whole different level,' director tells MTV News at U.K. premiere of re-release.

Nearly 15 years after "Titanic" became the biggest movie ever to grace the silver screen, director James Cameron has expanded his blockbuster into the third dimension.

On April 4, "Titanic" sets sail in 3-D after a painstaking conversion that Cameron believes enhances the picture's overall effect. MTV News spoke with the director in London, on the red carpet for the U.K. premiere of the re-release, which hits theaters days before the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking.

"It's really a dream come true to get this film back into cinema because it just has a whole different effect on people when they take three hours out of their life to just sit and have the unbroken experience and let the story take them along," Cameron said. "It can be quite a profoundly emotional experience, and you're not going to get that watching it on video. The 3-D just enhances the whole thing. It takes it to a whole different level. "

Cameron decided to begin the process in 2005, while he was prepping his next ambitious project, "Avatar."

"I was pretty convinced at that time that 3-D was really going to transform the cinema experience. I wanted cinema owners, the exhibitors, to embrace the conversion to digital projection, so that there'd be a place to show 3-D movies," Cameron said. "I was thinking of 'Avatar,' but I was also saying, 'Look, we can do films like "Titanic." We can take "Jaws," "Star Wars," whatever your favorite movies are, we can convert them to 3-D and give them a whole new life.' So we started doing test to see what a conversion of 'Titanic' would look like. We did a minute and a half of it, and it looked spectacular. "

The 3-D re-release offered Cameron the opportunity to reflect on what made "Titanic" a worldwide sensation. Cameron said he feels that it didn't have everything to do with the movie's young star Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Women could relate to it, not just because of the Leo-mania thing, but because a lot of young women struggle with the sense of identity in societal expectation. The character of Rose was really written very much about those ideas," Cameron said. "I think it was a simplification after the fact that [DiCaprio] is why women were so attracted to the movie."

Check out everything we've got on "Titanic."

'Game Of Thrones' Season Two: Where Is Everybody?

Jon Snow goes beyond the Wall, Daenerys Targaryen continues her trek eastward, and the Starks are still all over the place.
By Josh Wigler

Westeros is a big, bad place filled with big, bad people. It's hard enough to survive out there in the expansive Seven Kingdoms, and it can be just as difficult to know exactly where everybody is. Even though "Game of Thrones" ended its first season in a rather decisive manner, it's not easy keeping track of who's in King's Landing, who's up north and who's somewhere in between.

Can't remember where Jon Snow is currently journeying? Wondering where the various Starks have gone to? We've got you covered. Keep on reading for our handy guide to where all the major "Thrones" players are hanging out when season two begins.

King's Landing
Who's there, other than Ned Stark's head? Oh, relax, I kid, I kid. (But seriously, it's there, on a spike.) Clearly, this is Joffrey Baratheon's home turf, and lots of the regular fixtures are still around: Varys, Littlefinger, Grand Maester Pycelle, the Hound, Cersei and more. There are a few notable newcomers, too: Tyrion Lannister, for one, strolling into town to serve as Hand of the King in his father's absence. Along for the ride are Tyrion's lover Shae, his trusty but not-at-all trustworthy sellsword Bronn, and a few of those vicious tribesmen he met while traveling near the Eyrie. Oh, and let's not forget poor Sansa Stark: She's still in King's Landing, too, and none too pleased about it.

On the Road
The other Stark daughter, Arya, is running for her life and headed north on the Kingsroad, posing as a boy alongside a ragtag group of bastards, street rats and prisoners who have been recruited for the Night's Watch. Leading the party is Yoren, the sworn brother who traveled south to King's Landing to shore up some new recruits. Also in the mix is Gendry, one of Robert Baratheon's many bastards, and Jaqen H'ghar, a twisty-tongued convict who is much more than meets the eye.

Stark Camp
King in the North Robb Stark and his bannermen have set up camp in the Riverlands, shockingly close to where Arya is currently traveling — though the odds of them running into each other are about the same as finding a needle in a haystack, pun intended. Along with Robb are some of his most loyal advisers: his mother Catelyn, the massive Greatjon Umber and the squirrelly Theon Greyjoy. Also part of the head count: Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, who was taken prisoner by Robb late last season. Jaime doesn't have much in the way of company, though he will get to know Robb's direwolf Greywind a bit better before the season premiere's end.

In the North
There must always be a Stark in Winterfell. To that end, Bran is the lucky lord filling in while Robb's away at war. The broken boy relies on simple-minded Hodor for transport and the wildling girl Osha for her storytelling. There are also the other Winterfell regulars, like Maester Luwin and Old Nan. Oh, and Rickon. Almost forgot about that one...

Way, Way North
Even further north than Winterfell — heck, even further north than the Wall itself — are Jon Snow and the men of the Night's Watch, ranging onward into the great icy unknown. Their purpose: to find out who or what is responsible for making dead men walk again. Jon is joined by sworn brothers Gren, Pyp and the cowardly Samwell Tarly. Lord Commander Jeor Mormont is with the crew as well, lending gravitas to their unbearably cold expedition.

Across The Narrow Sea
Looking beyond Westeros, exiled princess Daenerys Targaryen continues her trek through the mysterious land of Essos with her starving, dwindling khalasar. Her most loyal servent, Jorah Mormont, is still with Dany, as are only her most loyal servants, handmaidens and blood-riders. It isn't all bad news, of course: Dany has three dragons to keep her company now. That's three more dragons than anyone else in the world has!

Dragonstone
Speaking of dragons, a brand-new location emerges in season two: Dragonstone, former seat of House Targaryen, current home to Stannis Baratheon. We've introduced you to Stannis already, but to quickly recap, he is late king Robert's younger brother, and therefore believes himself to be the rightful ruler of Westeros. With him are faithful advisers Davos Seaworth and Maester Cressen, as well as a mysterious new ally, Melisandre, the red priestess of Asshai. A dangerous, deadly group of individuals, as you'll soon see.

Adele: March 2012 cover girl of Vogue

Adele posed for an elegantly put together Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot spread while talking about everything from ridding of the booze to her highly publicized vocal cord surgery. Highlights from Adele's interview are as follows.

On her 'loud' personality: ?I am quite loud and bolshie,? she says (British slang for unruly and clamorous). ?I?m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.? Indeed. There is no doubt when Adele is in the building. The rule of thumb for protecting one?s vocal cords, she tells me, is: If people are more than an arm?s length away, you shouldn?t talk to them. ?But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,? she says, laughing. ?It?s really bad.?

On giving up drinking last May: ?Don?t like drinking anymore. I think I got it out of my system. D?yaknowhaImean??

On her vocal troubles: ?I?ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I?ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.? She flew to London the next morning to see her doctor and was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. After a couple weeks? rest, she continued her European tour, came to America, and then her voice went again in May. ?That was a hemorrhage... a burst blood vessel on my vocal cord. That healed, I did a tour, and then it happened again at my best friend?s wedding on October 1.?

On getting support through her surgery from other artists: ?John Mayer had it done at the same time as I did and he really helped me be chilled out about it. Roger Daltrey?s had loads of stuff done; Steven Tyler reached out; Elton John. Lots of artists have had problems with their voices, but you don?t know about it. And they are still singing incredibly well in their 50s and 60s.?

On her six Grammy nominations: ?I burst into tears when I found out. And I would love, absolutely love, to win. This record is coming to an end, and that would be the final brick on it.? [gallery=821]

Piers Morgan Black Lists Madonna From Show

Piers Morgan has joined the growing list of people who aren?t exactly thrilled with Madonna. She has apparently earned herself an all out ban from his CNN show and even his UK show. Earlier this week we reported that some people in the music industry were a little miffed by Madonna?s comments on stage at a recent electronic music festival. At that show, she jumped on stage and made a drug-related reference to MDMA by asking the crowd if they have ?seen Molly.? This caused electronic music heavyweight Deadmau5 to completely destroy her on Twitter, by saying she was a bad influence on the young crowd. Now apparently Piers Morgan has beef with Madge. TMZ reported today that he has totally banned her from his talk show. The strangest part is that Piers did not give a reason, but was clear about his stance. He sent the following to her on Twitter: ?Welcome to Twitter. You’re still banned from my show. Love Piers X.” The only trouble is that she was recently invited on his UK show. Her manager even sent the invite back to him via Twitter. Piers then zapped the following response: ?Madonna has only been banned from [...]

Emma Roberts' Fashionable NYC Cab Dash

Spotted acting like a true New Yorker, Emma Roberts made a mad dash after a taxi cab in the Big Apple on Tuesday (March 27).

The "Adult World" cutie pulled off a fashionable cab hail in skinny jeans, black booties and a leather jacket all while checking her phone.

Anytime we see the 21-year-old actress out and about she always looks fab, but according to her, style and comfort go hand in hand.

In a recent interview with Hollywood Life, Miss Roberts shared her fashion tips, saying, ?When you?re going out at night, be comfortable. Because there?s nothing worse than ending the night because your feet hurt or something.?

Emma added that the Big Apple is no different, as she told, ?So I always, especially when I?m in New York, I never wear a heel, I always wear like an ankle boot or a knee high boot or just flats because I know by 9 o-clock I?m going to want to go to bed if I?m in stilettos.?
