Lena Dunham is urging her fellow "Obies" to stick together as her alma mater in Ohio wrestles with reports of racism. The creator and star of HBO's "Girls" wrote on her Twitter account Monday after learning about racist graffiti at famously liberal Oberlin College.

The school about 30 miles from Cleveland was among the first to admit blacks. And the city of Oberlin was a stop on the Underground Railroad that aided escaped slaves. Dunham tweeted: "Hey Obies, remember the beautiful, inclusive and downright revolutionary history of the place you call home. Protect each other."

Racist and anti-Semitic messages have been found on campus, and classes were cancelled Monday after a report of someone wearing a Klan-type hooded robe.

"Girls" features several characters who met while attending Oberlin.

There is still nine months until the release of Catching Fire, but there is some good news for the fashion forward fans of the Suzanne Collins book series.

'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire': New Stills of Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson
Lionsgate, the studio behind the highly anticipated sequel to 2012’s The Hunger Games, has launched a Tumblr blog, Capitol Couture, which will enable fans to more intimately interact with the vibrant world of Panem.

Capitol Couture is dedicated to the eccentric fashions of Capitol City and allows fans to post their own Hunger Games inspired clothing, shoes, hairstyles and nail art.

The site provided the first look at Effie Trinket’s (Elizabeth Banks) official Capitol Portrait on Monday, featuring the notorious fashionista decked out in head to toe ruffled chiffon, wearing heelless boots.

Catching Fire will follow Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Huctherson) as they visit the 12 Districts on their Victor’s Tour, and are forced into the Hunger Games for a second time.

The film also stars Liam Hemsworth, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Clafin and Jena Malone.

Rumors have been swirling that Oscar winner Rachel Weisz could make her Broadway debut alongside her Bond star husband Daniel Craig in a Broadway production of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal. During a recent appearance on the U.K. morning show Daybreak, Weisz spilled the beans!

“I am going to do a play on Broadway,” Weisz told host Aled Jones. “It’s confirmed. I’ve never done Broadway [so I’m] very excited. [Broadway has] this mythical shine about it.” Although Weisz didn’t confirm that the play she’d be starring in would indeed be Betrayal, it’s safe to say a revival of Pinter’s acclaimed 1978 play is the project she’s alluding to. No word yet on if Craig is definitely attached to the project as well.As previously speculated, Mike Nichols (Death of a Salesman) is in talks to direct.

Telling a story in reverse chronology, Betrayal follows Robert (presumably Craig), whose wife, Emma (presumably Weisz), is having an affair with his friend Jerry, a literary agent.

Weisz starred in the West End production of A Streetcar Named Desire. She earned the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Tessa Quayle in The Constant Gardener. Additionally, Weisz’s film credits include The Lovely Bones, The Fountain, Constantine, About a Boy, The Bourne Legacy and The Mummy.

Craig appeared on Broadway in A Steady Rain. Best known as James Bond in Skyfall, Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale, his additional film credits include Defiance, The Golden Compass, The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo, Munich, Layer Cake and Road to Perdition.

Once again, Time has published their list with the Oscar 2013 Great Performances and Jessica is, of course, one of them. For this year’s Great Performances portfolio, TIME asked fashion photographer Paola Kudacki to take portraits of 11 actors, all of whom appeared in 2012 films that captured key moments in history, and several of whom portrayed real-life people.

Jessica Chastain – Performance: Maya in Zero Dark Thirty (Oscar nomination, Best Actress)
“Because we’re playing characters that really exist, it was important to show the utmost respect when portraying them,” says Chastain, who has never met the real-life inspiration for Maya, the CIA tracker who hunts bin Laden.

Well, it's official: Megan Fox makes beer look hot.

The stunning actress is starring in a new commercial for the Brazilian brand Brahma, serving as a spokeswoman for the beverage and promoting the beer in an, er, interesting ad campaign.

Of course, the former Transformers star makes sipping on a brewski look sexy in short-shorts and a tiny yellow tank (without any beer belly or baby weight in sight)

In the commercial—which is filmed entirely in Portuguese with the exception of Fox's one line— the brunette beauty winks seductively at the camera, pretends to take off her clothes and jumps around, clearly elated to be drinking the lager. Oh, and she also reveals a secret identity or two underneath it all.

Brian Austin Green's other half joins Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro in promoting the product ahead of Rio's famous Carnival festival. Check out the full commercial or Brahma beer and then hit the comments with your thoughts!

And if you're confused? Just remember, sex sells.

Guy talking: During Carnival, you can be whoever you want to be.
Guy talking: Like Peter that is an engineer, but in Carnival, he is The Chairman.
Guy talking: Or you can be a Brahma truck and bump into Megan Fox.
Guy talking: But beware, because Megan Fox can actually be Gus.
Guy talking: (laughing) This is Carnival my friend, where everyone can be who they want.
Megan Fox: Including me.
Voice Over: Imagine Carnival. Brahma. Imagine the party.
