When Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper got together in Silver Linings Playbook, we couldn’t take our eyes off them. Their on screen romance was, quite frankly, one of our favourites, so we are SO happy to see them together again for their upcoming film Serena.
Based on a novel by Ron Rash, this film is set in Depression-Era North Carolina, and tells the story of George Pemberton as he struggles to keep his timber empire going. Life gets even more difficult when he finds out that his wife can’t bear children.
People are saying this could be worthy of a few Oscars, and we’re not surprised. It sounds like a great story, and it’s got some great actors. What’s not to love?! Check out the trailer to see for yourselves!
Jennifer Lawrence might be getting loved up with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin these days, but she also has some great friends to watch her back.
Her Hunger Games co-star Josh Hutcherson has spoken out about the recent leaked nude photos scandal – defending J-Law and the other actresses caught up in it.
“I just think all that stuff is so ridiculous," Josh said. "We're people too, man; we just want to live, we want to be normal people. It's not fair."
Josh was caught up in a leaked photo scandal himself last year, and he said he understands the difficulty of what Jennifer is going through.
“I think everyone has their own way of getting through it. It's something you obviously don't want to happen to you and it’s really unfortunate that it happens but, I don't know. I hate the way the world sort of views those sorts of issues,” the actor said.
He also criticised the negative reaction to the recent leak. “"We want to live our lives and be actors and like Jen and I always say…people say, 'Well, you chose to be an actor, you are going to have to deal with this kind of thing.' Well, no… it's not very fair.”
We agree, Josh! Maybe we could all be friends too??
Lena Dunham has graced us with what is most definitely the best no make-up selfie of all time – sorry Nicole Richie!
Showing us that we can’t all look as Flawless as Beyoncé or Michelle Keegan, we applaud Lena for her honest account of what our mornings actually look like.
The creator and star of Girls shared the photo on her Instagram account, writing: “Is this what Beyonce was singing about? (Also, pretty depressing that this look isn’t even fuelled by one ounce of alcohol)."
Welcome to our Monday mornings, Lena – we welcome you with open arms.
Lena has also been sharing her opinion on the current hacking scandal which has seen celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and more have their private photos shared online.
The Girls star has been vocal in how wrong these leaks are, writing: “Remember, when you look at these pictures you are violating these women again and again. It’s not okay … Seriously, do not forget that the person who stole these pictures and leaked them is not a hacker: they’re a sex offender.”
Former star of Downton Abbey, Jessica Brown Findlay, is the latest famous face to fall victim to the hacking scandal.
The scandal has been unfolding since Sunday, with nude photos and videos of over 100 celebrities being hacked from iCloud and leaked to the public.
The FBI are currently looking into the incident, which has seen nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and many more celebrities having their private photos shared online.
It is now alleged that numerous sex tapes featuring Jessica have been leaked online, with her spokesperson saying that there will be no statement made as it is a “criminal investigation.”
Other celebrities such as Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice have denied that the photos online are them, with Ariana tweeting: "to every1 going on about my "nudes" & my "m&g prices" neither are real! my lil ass is a lot cuter than that lmao & tour details r comin soon."
Kelly Brook also denied that any photos leaked online would be real, tweeting: "The only nude photos you'll ever see of me are the ones that I "Leak" and the ones that my head are superimposed on! FYI."
Jennifer Lawrence was trending on Twitter last night after nude photos of her were leaked online, along with 100 other celebrities.
A hacker obtained old cell phone photographs of different stars through iCloud and published them online. He/she also said they were accepting Paypal donations for a video which apparently showed J-Law carryring out a sex act.
While other stars who were targeted have denied the authenticity of the photos (Disney star Victoria Justice tweeted: “These so called nudes of me are FAKE people. Let me nip this in the bud right now. *pun intended*”), Jennifer’s representatives have confirmed that the photos are real:
“This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”
Other celebrities who were victims of the hacking include Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Cat Deeley, Kim Kardashian, Michelle Keegan, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Kelly Brook and Final Desitnation actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Winstead took to Twitter to comment on the leaked photos:
Actor Seth Rogen also showed his distaste for the hacker in a couple of tweets:
Whoever is behind the act of invasion must have A LOT of time on their hands, as they targeted so many celebrities. Check out the list of victims:
We can only imagine how awful these women must feel knowing private photos are circulating the web – we hope they get whoever is to blame. Though, we're glad Anna Kendrick got the opportunity to post this fantastic reply to her brothers text!
Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are no strangers to working together on screen.
Both Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle were huge successes for both stars, which makes it odd that they would keep so quite about the OTHER film they made together, the Depression-era love story, Serena.
Never heard of it? Neither have we! Though the film has just announced a release date of October 24th, it doesn’t yet have a trailer, a US distributor or even a film festival slot. Weird, given the two big-name actors that are involved in it.
Filming apparently wrapped two years ago but there’s been absolutely no word since. Director Susanne Bier reportedly took 18 months to complete the film’s production process, which many are taking as proof that the film isn’t all that great.
Serena does have a Twitter account, but it currently has a meagre 294 followers, despite the fact that they’ve tweeted the odd promotional shot of J-Law and Bradley together on set and in costume.
Bradley did say a few words about the film in a recent interview, however, saying that the role was an opportunity to work with “one of the world’s outstanding filmmakers.” He added that his main motivation for taking the part was that he “wanted to learn to ride a horse.” Well… that’s as good a reason as any, we suppose!
Apparently Jennifer Lawrence is in talks to team up with Quentin Tarantino for his latest film The Hateful Eight.
The first trailer for the film was leaked last night (but has since been removed) and there seemed to be only one woman in the ‘Hateful Eight’, who goes by the name of Daisy Domergue – and there are rumours that this will be Jennifer’s role.
As the film hasn’t gone into production yet, the trailer didn’t actually show any of the cast. Instead it just showed a snowy landscape with text about strangers being stranded and the tagline: “They soon discovered they shared a deadly connection”.
Ooo, sounds like a good old fashioned Tarantino film! We bet J-Law would be amazing in one of his films – she’s definitely got the attitude down!
Her reps are trying to squash the rumours – but until we are sitting in the cinema and Jennifer doesn’t appear on screen, we’re choosing not to believe them!
She’s a classy bird, Gwyneth Paltrow.
The internet may have almost exploded with the news that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is now dating Jennifer Lawrence, but it turns out Gwyneth’s reaction was a little more toned down.
Gwyneth and Chris chose to “consciously uncouple” earlier this year, after nearly 11 years together. Despite what we’re sure was a very difficult adjustment period, the actress has taken the news of Chris’ new leading lady very well, by all accounts.
A source revealed to Us Weekly that Gwyneth has only good wishes for Chris. “She just wants him to be happy,” said the insider. “Her take is, ‘Hey, he could do worse.’”
The former couple have remained close since their split. Speaking in a radio interview about how things were going, Chris said the two were “friends and proud parents. There's lots of love, and that's it.”
Gwyneth even went so far as to nominate the singer in her Ice Bucket Challenge video – though we can’t be sure if that was an act of friendship or an act of revenge!
While Chris’ new romance with 24-year-old Jennifer is a lot more high-profile, there is speculation that Gwyneth may have found someone new, too. She has been seen out and about with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk, and onlookers described the atmosphere during their recent dinner date in LA as “flirty.”
We wonder if Gwyneth and Brad will have as good a couple’s nickname as Martin Lawrence?!
This. Is. Amazing.
So, by now it looks as if there may be some real truth to the rumour that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin are dating.
The news comes not long after Jennifer’s split from long-term boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult, was announced and only a week after it was revealed Chris’s ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, is dating Glee’s co-creator, Brad Falchuk.
So far, the best thing to come out of this unusual coupling (sorry…) is their, quite frankly, hilarious nickname.
Let’s face it, it was never going to work with their first names, was it? Instead, the focus was shifted to their surnames and Martin Lawrence was born.
Yes, that’s right, real Martin Lawrence, Jennifer and Chris just stole your name. You’ll have to find a new one.
Just weeks after her split with ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence apparently has a new guy on the scene.
Several sources are reporting that her new squeeze is none other than Chris Martin. They have been spotted out together several looking very cosy.
Have to say, we did not see that one coming.
Chris himself only recently ended his marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow. The couple separated in March but were still living together as recently as June.
There had been speculation of reconciliation when Gwyneth bought a house in Chris’ neighbourhood, but that appears to be off the table now.
It was recently revealed that Gwyneth is dating Brad Falchuck, co-creator of the show Glee, which she has guest starred in since 2010.
There's no confirmation from the unlikely couple but if it's true, Gwen and J-Law could soon be very awkward neighbours.
Everyone has to start somewhere, we suppose. In 2007, long before Alison Brie and Jennifer Lawrence made it big (Alison has since starred in Mad Men and Community while Jennifer has starred in, well, everything), the two filmed a pilot TV show for Comedy Central.
The pilot, tilted Not Another High School Show, was based on a fake high school, with parody elements from other teen dramas on TV at the time.
The show never got commissioned for a full season, which you might understand when you watch this clip from the pilot, which stars Alison as Muffy the Vampire Slayer. Awks.
Watch out for Jennifer’s cameo appearance in the second half!
