Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis share presidential dreamsThe stars of "The Campaign" are doing a great job "campaigning" for support of their comedy this weekend - exhibit A: Will Ferrell crying on "Conan" about Kristen Stewart - but those same antics confirm for us that we'd never vote them into office. While talking to CNN, Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell, who portray dueling congressional candidates in their new film, mull over what they'd do if they were ever elected to be president. For Ferrell, candy would become currency, whereas Galifianakis would use his power as leader of the free world to randomly walk in the homes of the unsuspecting. Check out the video above to hear the reason the two are concerned about Congress - trust us, it's not at all the reason you'd think.

Beyonce, Jay-Z world's highest-paid star couple9:54 p.m. Update: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Victoria Beckham earned $54 million from her clothing line and other business ventures.

As Ludwig points out, their costumes didn't help, as each actor portraying a tribute had a jacket to wear which, as a North Carolinian would tell you, isn't optimal in high Southern temps. Check out the video above to hear more behind the scenes details about filming in North Carolina. "The Hunger Games" will also be available as a digital download as well as on demand in addition to its physical forms starting at 12:01 a.m. on August 18.
