Jennifer Lawrence is already an accomplished actress and screenwriter; but now J Law is set to become a director too. 

The Hunger Games actress has officially signed up to her first directing project, and it looks like it's going to be a good one. 

She told Entertainment Weekly, "It's based on an article about mental warfare in the '60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong. 

"It's funny, I've wanted to direct since I was 16 and always thought I should start making steps towards that. If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn't have been ready. Now I actually feel ready."

She also told the EW that the aspiration has been a secret of hers for a long time. 

"I've wanted to direct as long as I've wanted to act. I just don't talk about it because I'd rather just do it."

She is a mother-of-three sons – the youngest of whom was born a little over a year ago. So Jennifer Ellison certainly has her hands full. 

Shockingly, however, the 32-year-old actress was yesterday at the receiving end of numerous nasty online messages relating to her appearance. 

Appearing on Lorraine on ITV, Jennifer wore a pretty embroidered tunic, jeans and criss-cross platform sandals. 

And despite looking gorgeous, some social media users were quick to criticise – labelling Ms Ellison "fat," and "ugly". Others said they were "stunned," and that they simply "didn't recognise" the former Brookside star.

Still, the Liverpool-native is certainly standing her ground. In fact, Jen has now said that she's unfazed by the "trolls" and that as she's totally happy in her own skin – despite being the heaviest she's ever been at 14st (88kg).

“I don’t care about trolls. What I look like is not a priority," she said in conversation with Mirror Online

"My husband still looks at me the way he did when I was 9st, after doing my fitness DVD. I’m happy and feel so loved.

“He thinks I’m the sexiest woman in the world. So I’m not worried, because he finds me as attractive as he always did and he loves my bum and my boobs.

At 5ft 5ins tall, Jen admits, however, that her weight does fluctuate regularly. She now says she is giving herself two years to get down to her goal-weight of 10st, and that she is determined to stop yo-yo dieting.

"I don’t want to fluctuate all my life, I’ve done every fad diet under the sun – as soon as you start eating properly again, you put it all back on.

"I’m known as a yo-yo dieter."

In recent years, Jen has been everything from a size 8 to a size 18 but she has previously told OK! magazine: "I used to be obsessed with what I looked like, always in the gym, and now I just don’t care – there are other priorities."

We're not surprised Lily-Rose Depp has finally caught the acting bug – her father is a major movie star after all. 

And while Johnny is famous for his out-of-the-box characters (Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, the Mad Hatter), it seems that Lilly-Rose has signed up for her own unique role. 

The rising star has joined the cast of Stephanie Di Giusto’s directorial debut The Dancer, a 19th-century drama based on the life of American performer Loie Fuller.

According to Variety, the 16-year-old will be playing a dancing wonder woman named Isadora Duncan – a San Francisco native who grew up in poverty and became a dance prodigy, quickly achieving worldwide fame. 

And we're sure Lilly-Rose will be used to playing a role achieving worldwide fame, something she knows it only too well. 

Ms Depp has also been cast to play Natalie Portman's little sister in next year's 1930s-inspired Planetarium

It looks like this is the beginning of a very promising film career, Lily-Rose.

Immy Waterhouse is enjoying her last few months of being unknown.

Of course, the teen has had a few cameras in her face over the years, but it's mostly been in the vein of have-you-met-Suki's-sister?

As Hollywood is going crazy over star sister duos lately, (Dakota and Elle, Beyoncé and Solange, Cara and Poppy), it'll be no surprise that Immy could be the next big thing… and she's just landed a huge film role.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, Immy told them all about her big break, and how she's feeling about it all.

"I'm moving to Los Angeles soon, because I've gotten a small role in Tom Ford's next film, Nocturnal Animals," she explained.

"I've never met him, but I loved his last movie [A Single Man]. It was so beautiful and so well done.

"I auditioned through video tape so I've actually not met him yet. Should I be nervous?" 

But despite any possible nerves, the blonde beauty said she has only heard good things.

"My friend Georgia [May Jagger] worked with him on a fragrance campaign and she said he was super nice."

Immy will appear alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams in the new flick – but before she was confirmed for the gig, she had to show Mr Ford her best American accent. 

"Do you know how all British actors learn how to speak American?" she asks.

"From Friends."

"If you listen to any British actor, even the really big ones, when they're playing American people, they probably sound like Rachel or Monica. 

"Friends is so huge over here that we just watch it all the time."

She finished the interview on a rather strange, but charming, note.

"I love facts and I love sharks. Like, did you know there's a really cool shark named the Greenland Shark?

"It lives its whole life with a parasite in its eye, and eventually, the parasite turns the shark completely blind. There you go. That's something I bet no other actress can tell you."

Something tells us we're going to be seeing a lot more of Immy Waterhouse… and her shark obsession.

Two months ago she was spotted at a West Hollywood eatery with her life coach… and now Amanda Bynes has emerged once again.

And while back in May she certainly appeared noticeably happier and healthier – yesterday, the 29-year-old actress positively shone at an LA fashion event.

Wearing a tight white lace dress, she completed her outfit with leather stilettos and a small leather shoulder bag. She also had on oversized sunglasses and her trademark long, blonde wig.

Ms Bynes was attending the launch party for Project Runway star's Michael Costello's capsule range in Los Angeles – seemingly the first bash she’s been a guest at since her much-publicised breakdown and mental-health issues.

Also attending the same soiree were former Danity Kane members Shannon Bex and Abrey O'Day, as well as singer Nicole Scherzinger.

Earlier this year, a spokesperson for the star said: "Amanda is doing great. She appreciates all of the love and support she receives from family, friends and fans."

Legal representatives for her parents, Lynn and Rick, also said at the same time: "She is doing great, working on her fashion design and staying focused on living a balanced and healthy life."

It has been furthermore reported that Ms Bynes has made sufficient health improvements to move out of her parents’ home and into her own apartment.

It is believed that Amanda’s relationship with her mum and dad, which at times has been hugely strained, has also improved significantly since late last year.

As recently as last October, the star was being treated in a psychiatric facility.

In 2012, she was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, and two years ago she was involuntarily hospitalised because of her erratic behaviour.

Two sets of hit and run charges against her were dismissed when she made financial settlements out of court.

She has also been caught shoplifting and in a series of worrying tweets, she made several incredible accusations – including that she had been sexually abused by her father.

It was a comment she later retracted, saying that a "microchip made her say it".

The former Nickelodeon star remains under the temporary conservatorship of her parents.

Arguably, she hasn't had a hit in Hollywood in close-to a decade.

Certainly, her last role of any note in a major feature film was playing Diane Howser in the moderately successful Bobby. Released in 2006, it also starred Ashton Kutcher, Helen Hunt and William H Macy. 

Since then, Lindsay Lohan has had bit parts in independent films, as well as various cameo appearances. She even nabbed a West End role late last year, but that has now concluded – leaving her, once again, unemployed.

Often seen in London in the company of wealthy men, a source told the New York Post's Page Six that the 29-year-old is "broke," and "sleeping at different guys’ apartments." They added: "But she thinks she’s Elizabeth Taylor."

The same website also says that Lindsay was recently approached by Burger King, which wanted her to star in one of its ads.

Apparently, she was asked to wear a Spicy Chicken Fries box, smoke a chicken fry like a cigarette, and vamp a “spicy” monologue.

Understandably, her management company weren't happy with how the advert set out to mock her, but they also know she isn't in a position to turn down work.

"Lohan and her managers at Untitled Talent suggested some alternate concepts to no avail," Page Six explains; meaning her representatives were eventually forced to politely decline the fast food chain's offer.

Earlier this week, Lindsay posted a bizarre image to Instagram to mark her 29th birthday.

The shot showed the bottom half of the New York native's body. She is pulling down her white under-pants, and also has on a white shirt and black strappy sandals.

 

My birthday is tomorrow!!!!! Where shall I go to soak up the sun and be with my sister!!!???

2015 should represent new beginnings of sorts for Li-Lo. The ongoing legal troubles which dominated her 20s – she has been arrested, charged and even jailed on several occasions – are finally behind her. 

But it seems her once-promising acting career has been largely killed off.

One industry insider recently commented: "A couple of years ago she was the train-wreck that no one could get enough of – the world was fascinated by how spectacularly she'd come off the rails. She was paparazzi gold.

"But now? She doesn't even have that. Her tabloid appeal has really worn off.

"She's been relegated to the same status as a one-time soap actress or former reality TV star."

It’s no surprise that the daughter of Johnny Depp and his ex-partner, model-musician Vanessa Paradis, has grown up to be an absolute beauty.

Lily-Rose turned heads recently when she made an appearance with her mother at Chanel's Paris-Salzburg fashion show in New York.

The 16-year-old also recently made her modelling debut in the Australian Oyster magazine.

The publication’s website posted photos of Lily-Rose posing in several outfits which included a strapless, black cherry-printed peplum top and matching skirt and in close-up shots wearing a denim jacket and a pink-brimmed hat.

Oyster described Lily-Rose ah having “the face of an angel and a magnetic presence beyond her young years”.

Johnny and Vanessa split in 2012, after 14 years together. The couple kept their children, Lily-Rose and son Jack, 12, totally out of the spotlight while they were growing up. But now Lily-Rose is breaking out on her own.

The blonde beauty is making her acting debut in Kevin Smith’s upcoming film Yoga Hosers staring alongside her dad.

Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny admits that he was nervous about his daughter’s first role, “until I saw her – about three seconds of her in a scene – and I saw she’s amazing.

 

My Sour Sixteen

Lily-Rose celebrated her sweet 16, or “sour sixteen” as she called it, last night. The birthday girl was joined in California by her mum, Johnny, and his new wife, Amber Heard, to celebrate.

The birthday girl posted heaps of pics on her Instagram, showing every step of her birthday week.

The celebrations kicked off with a fun costume party with her friends earlier this week and ended last night on her actual birthday with her family.

Lily-Rose is definitely about to blow up – we envision her creating her very own Gigi-Cara-Kendall clan in a couple of years.

It’s no secret that Divergent actress Shailene Woodley is a huge fanatic for eating healthy and well.

Now, she has divulged her ultimate health food tip – and it is NOT what we were expecting.

It would seem that the actress has jumped on the recent bandwagon for drinking bone broth – yes, that is exactly what you think it is.

Speaking to MTV News, Shailene describes how she makes bone broth in a slow cooker, simmering animal bones for 24 hours with onion and herbs. Erm, yum?

However, not everyone is a fan of Shailene’s tips, as her co-stars describe how she often gives them advice – but not all of them listen to it!

So there you have it, a healthy body is just one bone broth away, according to Shailene Woodley!

It’s the end of the road for Susan Sarandon and her boyfriend of five years, Jonathon Bricklin.

Their split is said to have been caused by a reality TV show the couple were involved in called Connected, with Susan said to have grown irritated by their private lives being invaded.

A source for Page Six explained the couple are working on things: “It [the TV show] caused a lot of strain in the relationship. It’s documented for the show that Susan breaks up with him because she doesn’t want to be involved with the show. She says, ‘You’re a cast member, I’m not’ … As of now, they’re working on things.”

Susan got together with Jonathon after the pair met on a road trip in Chile, a year after she split from her long-term partner of 21 years, actor Tim Robbins.

Have you ever thought: ‘God, my vagina could seriously do with a good steam?’ No, we haven’t either – but Gwyneth Paltrow has, because of course she has!

The actress, whose movie Mortdecai is out in cinemas this week, wrote a bit on her website Goop about a Korean spa in Los Angelas called Tikkun, which she calls the ‘next level’. Of what, we’re not sure but it sounds lovely.

However, the treatment Gwyneth is most interested in is the V-steam, writing about it she says: “the real golden ticket here is the Mugworth V-steam: you sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al. It is an energetic release – not just a steam douche – that balances female hormone levels. If you’re in LA, you have to do it.”

Now we’ve heard it all! If you’re interested in knowing more about a V-steam, and don’t lie we know you are; here’s a video of someone who went to try out Tikkun’s V-steam!
