TWIST just chatted with Willow Shields who plays Primrose Everdeen in The Hunger Games! She spilled the deets on her relationship with Jennifer Lawrence, who she grew close to on set and why she's Team Katniss! Check out our exclusive convo with her below and don't forget to pick up a copy of The Hunger Games, on DVD this Saturday, August 18!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: What's your favorite thing about Prim?
WS: I really loved that she loves animals so much, because I really love animals, too. I have three dogs, a cat and fish. I also used to have chickens, so you can see how much I love animals.

TWIST: Was it hard to get into such an emotional place for the reaping scene?
WS: Not really. Once you get into character and once you have such incredible actors and actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks around you, that really makes it a lot easier.

TWIST: Did you grow close to any of the actors who won't be returning to set?
WS: Yeah, I really grew close with a lot of the tributes 'cause we were actually there at the same time. I grew really close to Amandla Stenberg, who plays Rue, Jacqueline Emerson, who plays Foxface and Isabelle Fuhrman, who plays Clove. I'm really sad that they're not coming back, but I'm also excited to work with new people.

TWIST: How does it feel to be involved in one of the most popular franchises?
WS: It's a really exciting experience! We didn't know that it was going to be this huge.

TWIST: After playing Katniss' sister, do you feel like a sister to Jennifer Lawrence?
WS: Definitely. We're totally like sisters. We had so much fun on set together and we bonded right away.

TWIST: Team Gale or Team Peeta?
WS: I'm team Katniss. Everyone thinks of the book being such a romance and thinks that there's such a huge love triangle, but I don't think of it that way. I think of Katniss fighting for her family and being a strong character for young girls.

TWIST: When do you start work on Catching Fire? What can you tell us about it?
WS: I'm gonna be starting work on it this fall and I'm looking forward to it so much.

TWIST: What made you want to get into acting?
WS: It was actually my brother who first wanted to get into acting, but then my sister and I were like 'Oh that sounds like fun. Let's get into acting too!' And since we were twins, people would look at us and say 'Oh you should be actresses just because you're twins.' So we tried acting and then kept going because it was so much fun.

TWIST: Why should TWIST readers go out and buy The Hunger Games on DVD?
WS: Because there's a little bit for everyone! I think anyone's whole family would love it. If you like action, there's action and if you like romance, there's romance. Or if you just love movies with incredible actors and actresses in it, then you'll love The Hunger Games.

TWIST: Upcoming projects?
WS: Hopefully after Catching Fire I'll be doing some other stuff, but right now I'm just really excited to start Catching Fire!

When Taylor Swift revealed her new song "We're Never Ever Getting Back Together," "is to my ex-boyfriend," fans wondered which one. Now Joe Jonas, one of her exes, spills, "It's not about me! I don't think we've ever tried another time. That said, I think the song is great. Taylor does pop music really well and I'm happy for her." He also revealed that not only didn't they try to get back together, but recently their busy schedules have kept them from talking much at all. "I haven't really spoken to her recently," Joe shared. "But I was able to go to her concert last year, and her show live is so phenomenal. I would say anybody should go see it if they have a chance." We wonder who Joe thinks the song is about!

What do you think of Joe Jonas' denial? Who do you think Taylor's "We're Never Ever Getting Back Together" is about? Tell us in the comments below! For deets on how Taylor gives back to her fans, pick up the August issue of TWIST!

TWIST just got off the phone with Natasha Calis who stars in the new horror movie The Possession! Natasha spilled to us all about the film! Check out our conversation below, and be sure to check out The Possession in theaters tomorrow!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: Can you tell us a little bit about your new movie?
Natasha: The Possession comes out August 31st, and it's about this girl who finds a box at a garage sale that she becomes really obsessed with. The box contains a malicious demon, and the movie is about her family's journey to reunite and save her before it's too late.

TWIST: How did you relate to your character, Em?
Natasha: Well one of the things that we really had in common is that she is super close with her family. Her family is kind of going through a hard time though. Her parents are separated and that's really affected her. I couldn't relate to that specifically, but I could really feel for her and what's she is going through. I feel bad for her, so I really tried to play that in the character.

TWIST: What was your favorite scene to shoot in the movie?
Natasha: I had to do all of my own stunts, and I loved doing that. But one of gross things that happened was I had to have hundreds and hundreds of moths all over me. They just dumped a bucket on me, and they were crawling in my pajamas and my hair. I mean, at the time, I probably wouldn't say that was fun, but after it was finished, I was like, 'Yeah, that was kind of fun.'

TWIST: Cool! What other kinds of stunts did you get to do?
Natasha: I had to like hang from the ceiling. I was all harnessed in, and we had an amazing stunt coordinator and stunt double that would demonstrate before each scene. So that was really fun.

TWIST: Had you done that kind of work before?
Natasha: No I hadn't. This was my first really hands-on job that I got to really participate in my own stunts, which is really cool.

TWIST: How did the cast get along?
Natasha: The cast got along so well. We became like a real family, and in between each scene, we'd joke around and make each other laugh. It was a really heavy movie, but it didn't appear to be on set because everybody was just so friendly, and it was such an amazing atmosphere.

TWIST: That sounds fun! Do you have any other upcoming Projects?
Natasha: I've auditioned for a few projects, and we're waiting on those. In the meantime, I'm hoping to go back to normal school, hang with my friends, and I love to play soccer. I'll continue doing that and being a normal 13-year-old girl.

TWIST: Awesome! Thanks for chatting with us, Natasha!
Natasha: Thanks, TWIST!

According to an inside source, Selena Gomez is thinking about breaking up with Justin Bieber! The source spills, "Selena's seen a change in The Biebs. He's less kind to others, and to her, and gotten more full of himself." Justin's paparazzi drama this summer didn't make Selena too happy, either. "His escalating, wild-card behavior worries her. Selena's searching for a way to break it off, remain friends - and even continue working together on projects, as they've done with tracks for her upcoming CD." TWIST will keep you posted with an developments, but Jelena's def still together for now.

TWIST just sat down with Isaiah Pittman V, a.k.a IP5! He spilled all the deets on how he got his start in the business, his musical influences and if he plans on touring! Check out our exclusive convo below and an exclusive performance!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: How did you get your start in the business?
IP5: I started singing when I was two and I started taking dance lessons when I was four. A guy named Mark Calderon discovered me at a music festival in St Louis and he connected me with my manager Johnny Wright.

TWIST: Which song is most personal to you?
IP5: 'Just Got Over You' and 'Come Go With Me.' They're two of my favorite from the album. While we were recording them, I just felt a certain connection with the songs. It's just one of those things where you do a song and it sticks with you.

TWIST: Do you write your own music?
IP5: I actually co-wrote tracks for my older stuff, but now I'm working with a producer. Right now we're looking for new songs to put together a project for next year.

TWIST: How was the writing process?
IP5: We'd just have writing sessions, where we'd sit for a while and think about what it meant for each person individually and how we wanted to write it.

TWIST: Who were some of your musical influences?
IP5: I listen to the oldies like Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and Michael Jackson. Plus, newer artists like Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Train, One Direction and Carly Rae Jepsen.

TWIST: Do you have plans to go on tour?
IP5: Once we finish our new project, we're putting together a show for it.

TWIST: Who would be someone you would love to tour with? Or even just collab with?
IP5: I would love to work with Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake. I just really love them as performers.

TWIST: So many people call you a triple threat. Which talent is your favorite?
IP5: Honestly I don't really have a favorite because I've been doing them all for so long that they kind of feel like three skills combined into one.

TWIST: What's next for you?
IP5: I'm working on my new project and my fans can stay in contact with me on Twitter.

TWIST: Thanks for the chat!
IP5: No problem!
