Divergent Star - Shailene Woodley Is Receiving The "MTV TRAILBLAZER" Award At This Year’s ‘MTV Movie Awards’

Hi Huneybees,

Shailene Woodley, the young and well built, 23-year-old Hollywood star from the Divergent series has been chosen to receive the "MTV Trailblazer Award" at this year's "MTV Movie Awards". She will be the fourth recipient of the award following Emma Watson, Emma Stone and Channing Tatum.

The award will be presented to her by her "Insurgent" co-star Miles Teller on the LIVE telecast of the 2015 “MTV Movie Awards” on Monday, 13 April from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California. 

Over the past few years, she has shot to fame, tackling all sorts of roles after a breakout performance acting across George Clooney in "The Descendants" in 2011, and then going on to "White Bird in a Blizzard", "Divergent", "The Fault in Our Stars" and her latest performance - "The Divergent Series: Insurgent".

“Shailene Woodley is one of the most talented actresses of this generation. Whether baring her soul in emotionally charged roles in “The Descendents” and “The Fault In Our Stars” or igniting our imagination in sci-fi blockbusters like “Insurgent"; Shailene has raised the bar for actresses navigating diverse and challenging roles professionally, while personally remaining down-to-earth and accessible to her fans.” --- Stephen Friedman, President of MTV

Among the many accolades, she received for her work in the film were a 2012 Independent Spirit Award® for Best Supporting Actress, the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe® nomination and a Critics Choice award nomination.

Just prior, Woodley starred in “The Spectacular Now” opposite Miles Teller. The co-stars shared the Special Jury Prize for Dramatic Acting at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013; and Woodley was nominated for a Gotham Award, and an Independent Spirit Award® for Best Actress. She also starred in the dramatic film “White Bird in a Blizzard” for director Gregg Araki, which premiered at Sundance in January 2014. 

Up next, Woodley will appear in Oliver Stone’s untitled drama based on the life of Edward Snowden.

The 2015 “MTV Movie Awards” will be hosted by the super funny Amy Schumer and it will once again officially kick-off the summer movie season, promising to deliver yet another epically funny, unpredictable, over-the-top show that features fan favourite films, actors and musicians, whilst honouring the best films and performances from the past year, while featuring exclusive, never-before-seen moments from some of the most highly anticipated upcoming films. 

2015 “MTV Movie Awards” will Air Live on Monday, 13 April at 7am (TH/WIB), 8am (PH/SG) and 9am (MY) from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California. It repeats on the same day at 6.30pm (WIB), 7.30pm (SG) and 8.30pm (MY).

Getting Into The Core Of Business At Ben & Jerry's Chunkfest 2014

Hi Huneybees,

On Saturday, I joined close to 10,000 Mooniacs at the 7th annual Ben & Jerry’s ChunkFest at The Meadows, Gardens by the Bay. It was an all day of fun, peace, love and ice cream as we all 'digged' into the 'core' business of creating joy!

Highlight for the day was the Ben & Jerry’s new Core line of ice creams - 'That’s My Jam’, 'Salted Caramel' and 'Hazed & Confused'. Packed to the brim in each Ben & Jerry’s Core pint is a rich gooey core centre right down the middle that is perfectly complemented by chunk-filled ice cream and not forgetting the big chunky chunks within the tasty ice creams...

• Hazed & Confused: Chocolate & Hazelnut Ice Creams with Fudge Chips and a Hazelnut Fudge Core
• That’s My Jam: Raspberry & Chocolate Ice Creams with Fudge Chips and a Raspberry Core
• Salted Caramel: Sweet Cream Ice Cream with Blonde Brownies and a Salty Caramel Core

Nothing can beat our love for Ben & Jerry's, not even the sun, not even the muddy fields!

Grab our Faircoins and off we go for our treat!

Together with the core ice creams, there were 20 ice cream flavours to choose from and several activities to do. 'Sundae School' was set up for fans to learn from the six social innovation heroes - Bjorn Low (Edible Gardens), Kenneth Foo (The Yellow Ribbon Project), Jay Che (Circus in Motion), Prasoon Kumar (Billionbricks), Richardo Chua (Adrenalin) and Terence Quek (Project Happy Feet). 

That was held for the first time as part of the global business competition - Join Our Core. It is Ben & Jerry's hunt for bright sparks (living in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Switzerland & the Netherlands, France, Japan and Singapore), who are creating cool new models for sustainable business which will help make a difference in communities around the world. 

There's even Tiger Radler here to cool us down. :)

Of course other than just eating ice cream for the whole day, we also had a great time taking pictures with the mascot, enjoying music from the band as well as checked out the Vermonster Challenge.

Chugging down 20 scoops of ice cream was no easy feat, ice creams were dripping and things got pretty messy as 29 teams tried to beat each other. But no one could beat Team “Thugz”  in record time of 1 min 4 secs. What did they win? One year supply of Vermonster Challenge (208 pints of ice cream)! Woohoo!

Team "Thugz" - Tristan (29), Kevin (26) Irvin (27) and Tomas (28).

And of course, not forgetting my favourite past time - SHOPPING! All it took was to exchange for the Faircoins and I could buy all the Ben & Jerry's merchandises home! 

The very first ever Ben & Jerry's Social Enterprise Marketplace made its appearance and 7 of the local core change makers - Bliss Restaurant, Bettr Barista, Edible Garden City, Emmaus Training Center, Project Happy Feet, Saught & Yellow Ribbon, set up stalls along the Chunkfest grounds. 

There was specialty coffees, manicures sessions going on , fun activities and even charming accessories to get whilst supporting for a good cause. I've got my eye on some of the accessories from Saught, especially the Éveil Bangle. Guess I can't break away from my love for fashion eh? :P

The amazing day ended with the movie screening of Divergent and heard there was even first ever Ben & Jerry's wedding but too bad I was feeling under the weather and missed it... Congrats to the couple - Thomas & Jamie!

Thanks Ben & Jerry's!

See ya guys at Chunkfest 2015!
