"The Hunger Games" fandom was dealt a Cato-sized blow Monday when director Gary Ross confirmed rumors that he would not direct the franchise's follow-up "Catching Fire" (set for a November 22, 2013, release).
"Despite recent speculation in the media, and after difficult but sincere consideration, I have decided not to direct 'Catching Fire,' " Ross said in his statement. "As a writer and a director, I simply don't have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule."
With roughly 19 months to cast, film and cut the sequel, Lionsgate is no doubt in hot pursuit of a worthy contender to Ross' throne. The movie experts at MTV News have put plenty of thought into the studio's predicament and have a few director recommendations of our own for what will surely be a highly coveted gig. Check them out below and weigh in with your suggestions in the comments!
J.J. Abrams
I'd love to see J.J. Abrams take on "Catching Fire." He's more than proved himself with films like "Super 8" and "Star Trek" — although he went a little overboard with the lens flares. He has a unique eye for filming, and from "Lost" to "Alias," the projects he's involved with become a huge success. — Fallon Prinzivalli
Danny Boyle
From the big bowl of Hollywood directors, I'd like to pluck out Darren Aronofsky's name, whose handheld-cam aesthetic and knack for bringing intimate, first-person stories to the screen are perfect fits for "Catching Fire." But he'll be occupied with Russell Crowe and "Noah" later this year, and anyway, who can imagine He of a Thousand Scarves taking the gig? So I turn to "127 Hours" helmer Danny Boyle, who might be free after completing a rather interesting (and certainly patriotic) assignment to direct the opening ceremonies for London's summer Olympics. Boyle's got it all: pop sensibility, gritty instincts, familiarity with a tropical setting (recall "The Beach") and, like "Breaking Dawn" director Bill Condon, an Oscar on his mantle. — Eric Ditzian
John Hillcoat
I don't think Lionsgate would jump at the opportunity to hire the director of the incredibly graphic "The Proposition" and "The Road," but there's some reasoning here. Hillcoat's a few months away from a lot of buzz around his next movie "Lawless," with Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy. "Catching Fire" could be a way to test him out in mainstream waters, plus the man has a knack for directing the outdoors in a dystopian setting. — Kevin Sullivan
Steven Soderbergh
I realize this one is a bit of a longshot and some might doubt that a filmmaker of Soderbergh's pedigree would deign to pick up someone else's leftovers. And then there's the matter of him potentially retiring from filmmaking (but does anyone really think that's going to happen?). Soderbergh has truly built the most eclectic filmography for a "mainstream" filmmaker in the known universe. Actors love him, he's an intellectual who also knows how to shoot anything (he's coming off a crazy action film in "Haywire"), plus he's already a part of "The Hunger Games" universe having shot a day of second unit for his friend, Gary Ross. How crazy and awesome and unpredictable would it be to have someone of Soderbergh's caliber bring his vision to the series? — Josh Horowitz
Soderbergh was among my top picks last week when rumors began swirling about Ross' departure, and I'm going to second his reaping here. Ross wasn't necessarily the obvious candidate to helm "The Hunger Games," but he won fans over with his undying adoration, enthusiasm and respect for Suzanne Collins' source material. These same fans are hungry for a helmer they can trust with the franchise, and with Soderbergh's brilliant second-unit work on the District 11 riot, he's already won support among Panem's faithful. Plus, his movies are just so cool-looking. Here's hoping he'll shout triumphantly, "I volunteer!" — Amy Wilkinson
Gary Ross did such a phenomenal job with "Hunger Games" that it's close to impossible imagining anyone occupying his seat — close, but not quite. Soderbergh is my pick for the "Catching Fire" gig. A few reasons: One, he already directed portions of the first "Hunger Games" movie, so he's familiar with the world. Two, the man has a very distinct style, but no two Soderbergh films are exactly the same; giving him free reign over Panem would be pretty crazy to see. Finally, if you saw "Haywire," you know Soderbergh can craft a heck of an action film around a compelling female lead. Not that Jennifer Lawrence needs any help being awesome, but teaming her up with a post-"Haywire" Soderbergh is a guaranteed recipe for success. Lock him up, Lionsgate, and the odds will absolutely be in your favor. — Josh Wigler
Joss Whedon
I think Joss Whedon would be the perfect choice to direct "Catching Fire." He's got all the prerequisites: He's good with kick-ass heroines. He can do big-budget. And he has no problem killing off major characters. Plus, he's got a devoted fanbase that treats him and his projects with a reverence that's unmatched in Hollywoodland. I'll see "Catching Fire" no matter who directs it, but boy would I be excited if Joss Whedon worked his magic on this film. — Tami Katzoff

Sherri Shepherd isn't the only was disappointed by her surprising elimination on last night's Dancing with the Stars: The View co-host says that her 6-year-old son Jeffrey is also "pretty devastated."
"He loved being there," Sherri says of her son, who joined her on the set each week. "He also doesn't quite understand that they won't be going back."

Keeping herself fit and fabulous, Ashley Tisdale was seen leaving her gym in West Hollywood on Wednesday morning (April 11).
The ?High School Musical? hottie rocked a messy bun and a crewneck sweatshirt while adding some heather grey spandex and running shoes with bright, turquoise laces to complete her workout ensemble.
On the career end of things, the 26-year-old actress is getting ready to launch her new project ?Miss Advised? on Bravo - which is a new reality show that will follow three single relationship experts who work in radio, journalism, and blogging, on and off their jobs.
?So excited to announce our first show from Blondie Girl Productions ?Miss Advised? airing later this year on Bravo!!! so cool being an executive producer. Lucky to have my partner Jessica Rhoades. To form an idea and see it become something #weredoinit,? Miss Tisdale recently tweeted of her gig.

We forecast the year that will be for your favorite stars, in Bigger Than the Sound.
By James Montgomery
<P>Welcome to 2012, the year that will either bring us the end of civilization as we know it or perhaps flying cars (finally!) Of course, between those two events, there's also going to be a presidential election, the London Olympics and that last "Twilight" movie (finally x 100!), not to mention a whole lot of activity within the lives of your favorite stars, too: Babies, weddings, honorary doctorates in nanotechnology; <i>this</i> is the year it'll all happen. </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="2012 Star Predictions" id="vid:722495.id:1672369" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>Which is why, with the new year upon us, I've decided to get my Kreskin on with these predictions for 2012. Don't ask me to gaze deep into my crystal ball and try to foresee who'll win the White House or the World Series, because, seriously, if I knew that, don't you think I'd be wagering right now? Instead, I'm tackling the <i>important</i> topics. Here's my 2012 forecast for the Beyoncés and Britneys of the world ... partly cloudy, with a zero-percent chance of accuracy. </P><P> </P><P>» Beyoncé and Jay-Z will welcome a daughter, who, upon her, uh, <i>release,</i> will also release her debut single, "Run the World (Me)." </P><P> </P><P>» Adele will win every single Grammy, including a stunning upset of <i>Eres Un Farsante</i> in the Best Regional Mexican Or Tejano Album category. </P><P> </P><P>» Britney Spears and Jason Trawick will tie the knot in an elaborate, multi-denominational ceremony held — eh, I don't even care enough to finish this one. </P><P> </P><P>» Katy Perry, having finally run out of singles to release off <i>Teenage Dream,</i> will spend the entirety of 2012 shooting videos for objects around her house. Her hits will include "Toaster," "KitchenAid Tilt-Head Stand Mixer" and "This Towel Set Someone Gave Russell and I for Our Wedding That We Keep in the Guest Bathroom." </P><P> </P><P>» Dr. Dre will indefinitely scrap <i>Detox</i> and instead drop a more age-appropriate album called <i>The Chronic Arthritis.</i> </P><P> </P><P>» Lady Gaga will wear a crazy hat or something. </P><P> </P><P>» Rihanna will release six albums in 2012, each more raunchy than the last. Titles include <i>Speculum,</i> <i>[Censored] [Censored] On My [Censored],</i> and <i>Songs About F---ing,</i> which, oddly, will be a note-for-note remake of Big Black's <i>Songs About F---ing.</i> </P><P> </P><P>» Dave Grohl is sure to do something awesome. </P><P> </P><P>» Drake's sweater game will become so advanced that he will surpass Bill Cosby as the world's foremost expert on multi-hued knitwear. On a related note, he will also release a comedy album called <i>To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With.</i> </P><P> </P><P>» Nicki Minaj will stun the fashionistas when she appears at the annual Met Ball wearing a nice pantsuit she bought at Bealls. </P><P> </P><P>» Justin Bieber will finally get that bike without the training wheels, since he's a big boy now. </P><P> </P><P>» The Black Keys, buoyed by the success of their "Lonely Boy" video, will shoot another dance-only clip for "Gold on the Ceiling," this one set at Gallagher's 2000 and featuring nothing but topless women. Surprisingly, it will become the most-viewed music video in the history of everything. </P><P> </P><P>» Lil Wayne will come full circle, get a tattoo <i>of</i> his face <i>on</i> his face. </P><P> </P><P>» Guns N' Roses will reunite at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in April, only with that dude who plays a guitar shaped like a foot filling in for Slash and Tommy Stinson replacing Duff on bass. So, actually, it won't be Guns N' Roses at all. </P><P> </P><P>» Coldplay's Chris Martin is just going to be fingerpainting everything. </P><P> </P><P>» Rick Ross will be named the Memphis Restaurant Association's Restaurateur of the Year for his tremendous achievements in Wingstop-ery. </P><P> </P><P>» Kanye West will <i>literally</i> explode. </P><P> </P><P>» Fans of Skrillex will stop and realize that, in 1997, EDM was poised take over America too, and we ended up with Limp Bizkit as a result.</p>
