Watch: Zooey Deschanel's Hunger Games Audition Clip Is Hilarious
Last Updated: Sharing the video on her Instagram account, Zooey wrote, 'Give me an axe and you won't be disappointed.' With The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping in the making, the makers announced an official casting call for a role in the upcoming film through their official social media accounts. They asked the fans to post their videos, act out a scene, perform a song or surprise them with something completely different. And guess who just did that? Actress and musician Zooey Deschanel. Zooey, best known for her roles in 500 Days of Summer and The Good Girl, shared a hilarious video on her Instagram account, auditioning for the said role. Wearing a red striped shirt with black pants, the 45-year-old actress was seen cradling her cat. At the beginning of the clip, she said, 'Hi, I'm Zooey Deschanel. My height is between 5'4 and 6'4. You guess which side I'm on." She continued, 'I am auditioning for the role. I don't know the name of the role, but I'm also offer-only." Zooey then went on to list her skills like running, jumping and walking, hilariously enacting each one of those at her home. 'I have a lot of different skills. Running, jumping, walking, having long hair, having blue eyes, having three cats," she mentioned. In the video, the actress enacted being attacked by her cat, only to add that she was 'kidding." 'That's called acting," she said while facing the camera. Furthermore, the New Girl actress shared details on all the things she would be carrying to the arena. 'Some things I would pack for the arena. Like a change of clothes, like a concealer and a little lip gloss, just in case. Some cosy blanket, a cat, some electrolytes like maybe like a protein bar." Zooey then playfully admitted having an advantage over others because she was 'on television before." She added, 'But, like, I'm just the same as everyone else." After giving her fans a glimpse at how she would react if her name got called for the 'Reaping", she jokingly said, 'I'm not going to do it because I'm offer-only, of course. I'm only doing it if I'm being paid." In the caption of the post, Zooey wrote, 'Give me an axe and you won't be disappointed." Fans immediately started reacting to her hilarious audition clip, with one even saying, 'I'm literally like, where can we suggest that they put her? Haymitch's mom? She has a great story arc. Let's get this to casting. They haven't let us down yet…" Another added, 'Wow, this is so good. Have you ever thought about becoming an actress?" ICYDK, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will revisit the world of Panem 24 years before the events of the OG Hunger Games, which will begin on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games. Directed by Francis Lawrence, the film is scheduled to be released on November 20, 2026. First Published: June 09, 2025, 17:26 IST

Gleam's teeth whitening strips worked in less than a week – and they're a third off now
If, like me, you've watched your fair share of American sitcoms, then you'll notice one thing all the actors – from Zooey Deschanel to Matt LeBlanc – have in common: pearly white teeth. It's no secret that our neighbours across the pond (or at least the ones in the media) have superior gnashers but, in 2025, it doesn't have to be that way. Though regulations on hydrogen peroxide (one of the most popular ingredients in teeth whitening kits) are less strict in the US, it's still possible to achieve a brilliant smile here in the UK. In fact, I've been testing Gleam's at-home teeth whitening (was £39.99, now £24.99, and there's no doubt it's brightened the 'ole ivories – but more on that later. Knowing whether to try an LED kit, take a professional dentist approach or perhaps give a whitening toothpaste a go can be overwhelming, but I'm here to cut through the noise and offer you a simple and affordable option. Scroll on for my honest Gleam whitening review, plus where to shop for a third off now. How I tested While Gleam promises 'proven results in 30 minutes,' it provides enough strips for 14 sessions. Applying the strips in each sachet as directed (one on the bottom and one on the top row of teeth), I continued to use the treatments daily until I could see a marked difference. In my case, this was around five days, though I proceeded to apply the strips for a further eight days afterwards. I also followed the brand's advice for its LED kit in terms of whitening prep, brushing my teeth before use and rinsing out with water afterwards. Here's how I got on. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews Lucy Smith has experience of more than five year working across lifestyle, beauty and health. In particular, she's well-versed on oral health and has written The Independent's guide to the best teeth whitening kits. When it came to testing Gleam's teeth whitening kit, she knew which ingredients were (and weren't) going to work on tough food and drink stains. See her verdict, below.

Polka Dots Are Trending Hard for 2025—Here's Where to Shop
The hottest print of 2025 isn't stripes, checkers, or even cheetah print—it's polka dots! Yes, the spotted pattern has been laying low for the past decade. And yes, polka dots haven't had a really big moment since the twee era (think Zooey Deschanel) where quirky bow ties and hipster skater skirts reigned supreme. But now the pattern is back in a big way, taking over everyone's Pinterest feeds and the Fall/Winter 2025 runways, too. The comeback of polka dots is long overdue, in my opinion—and the 2025 version of the print has gotten a fresh makeover. The dots can be asymmetrical, oversized or micro, and colors are totally on the table, although black and white is a classic for a reason. Oh, and they don't just belong on retro styles, either. If you haven't seen wedding guest dresses, going-out tops, and midi skirts covered in polka dots cropping up already, you're about to start noticing them everywhere. Curious? I put together a curated list of some of the chicest polka dot dresses, accessories, and more, below.
