Ariana Grande: Dating Josh Hutcherson!
Josh Hutcherson is no longer hungering for a girlfriend. Why? Because he's reportedly playing the game of love with Ariana Grande!
An insider tells Life & Style that the actor is romantically involved with Victorious star Ariana Grande. She plays Cat Valentine on that Nickelodeon sitcom.
"They've been seeing each other since the beginning of the year," a source tells the tabloid, adding that Grande even attended the Los Angeles premiere of The Hunger Games with her man, but didn't walk down the red carpet because "they've been trying to keep it low-profile."
Hutcherson previously dated Vanessa Hudgens.

The Hunger Games Premiere Fashion Face-Off: Liam Hemsworth vs. Josh Hutcherson
They'll do battle over Katniss Everdeen on March 23, so why not start a few days early
Both Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson - Gale and Peeta, respectively, in the big screen version of The Hunger Games - walked the red carpet of the hottest Hollywood premiere of 2012 last night, posing for photographers and looking generally handsome outside the Nokia Theatre.
But which looked the most handsome? That's the question. Study the stars below, cast your vote and then do the same between Jennifer Lawrence and Miley Cyrus at the premiere.
The HUNKer Games: Team Gale vs. Team Peeta!
I think I was [Team] Gale until he started getting a little too trigger-happy. Or maybe first Peeta and then Gale or Gale, then Peeta? I went back and forth. I flip-flopped.
So says Jennifer Lawrence in the latest issue of Seventeen, underscoring just how difficult it is for fans of The Hunger Games to decide between Gale and Peeta, the two young men right smack in the middle of Katniss Everdeen's dangerous life.
But decide Katniss and company must, as Liam Hemsworth takes on the key role of Gale in the upcoming big screen adaption and Josh Hutcherson plays Peeta.

Awkward Alert: Vanessa Hudgens and Josh Hutcherson Asked About Relationship
Vanessa Hudgens is currently in Australia, premiering Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, posing on red carpets, showing off various dresses. Oh, and answering awkward questions about her ex.
Indeed, the actress appeared yesterday on a local news show alongside Josh Hutcherson, her co-star in the film and, yes, her ex-boyfriend. Only no one told the anchors this relationship was over, leading to an awkward exchange.
"How long have you two been going out?" one asked, as Josh and Vanessa stared blankly at each other before handling the situation very, very well.
"We're not," Hutcherson said. "We were at one point, but she broke my heart... no, I'm just kidding."
Fast forward to the 3:30 mark if you wish to only watch this portion of the interview:
Happy Birthday, Josh Hutcherson!
Josh Hutcherson turns 19 today. And it may be the final birthday this actor celebrates before he makes the leap to A-list status.
The young star, previously best known for briefly dating Vanessa Hudgens, has been cast as Peeta in The Hunger Games, a role that is sure to bring him a legion of rabid fans. Most of the female persuasion.
Hutcherson has also appeared in The Kids Are All Right and Journey to the Center of the Earth. But neither of these films can compare to the popularity of The Hunger Games.
Wish Josh a happy birthday now and then view the first official trailer for the first movie in this planned trilogy.

Josh Hutcherson vs. Liam Hemsworth: Who Would You Rather...
We don't wanna spoil The Hunger Games, but allow us to say this: As Katniss Everdeen, Jennifer Lawrence will have to do choose between Josh Hutcherson's Peeta and Liam Hemsworth's Gale.
We got our first look at these actors in those roles via this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly. As you can tell, the decision won't be easy.
But you can help Katniss make it! Study both actors below and answer the most pressing question of them all: Who would you rather...
The Hunger Games First Look: Josh Hutcherson! Liam Hemsworth!
Two months ago, Entertainment Weekly gave readers their first look at Jennifer Lawrence in the main Hunger Games role of Katniss Everdeen.
Now, the magazine had done the same for Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, who will portray the two young man both pining for Katniss in the big screen version of this best-selling novel, Peeta and Gale, respectively.
Hemsworth, of course, is mostly known for dating Miley Cyrus. But director Gary Ross stands up for the Australian actor in an interview with the magazine and says:
“On first glance he’s such a hunk that it’s easy to just sort of ascribe a hunk-like simplicity to him. But this is a phenomenally subtle actor.”

Jennifer Lawrence on Hunger Games Co-Stars: Perfect!
Josh Hutcherson? He has brown hair.
Liam Hemsworth? The guy who dated Miley Cyrus?!?
These were the reactions many readers of The Hunger Games had upon learning who would portray Peeta and Gale in the movie version of these books. But co-star Jennifer Lawrence can ease the concerns of any hesitant fans.
"Josh is so charming,” the woman behind Katniss tells Entertainment Weekly. “And when you read in the books about Peeta being able to manipulate anybody - I mean Josh could get, well, I don’t know a metaphor for [this scenario] except for dirty ones. But he’s charming, he’s sweet, he’s down to earth, he’s normal. He embodies all of it and brings it all to Peeta.. he’s got all of these great qualities and every single one of them come across in every line he says out loud as Peeta.”
