Hurray for J-Law! The Oscar winning actress is set to earn a much larger amount than that of her male co-star in the sci-fi film Passengers.

Finally! Hollywood has gradually begun to pay attention to the huge number of high-profile actresses that have been speaking out in recent times, criticising the lower amounts they are paid in comparison to their male co-stars.

The Hollywood Reporter is saying that while Chris Pratt’s fee has jumped from €9m to €11m following the success of Jurassic World. Jennifer is set to earn and incredible €18m from 30 per cent of the film’s box office profit.

The larger than usual gap between the earnings of the two would probably not be such a big deal if Chris hadn’t become such a huge star in recent times. But with both Chris and J-Law being firm fan favourites and sure to bring crowds to the cinemas on the film’s release the news comes as a pretty big shock.

Which seems pretty ridiculous when you consider J-Law is a Golden Globe and Oscar winner, and she’s Katniss. Chris Pratt may be hilarious and talk to dinosaurs, but he hasn’t been awarded the little gold status just yet.

Passengers is a supposedly romantic sci-fi drama about Pratt’s character who wakes from a decade’s long nap while still half-way through a journey through space.

Naturally, he doesn’t want to tackle the galaxies alone and makes the stellar decision to wake up fellow passenger. Who is Jennifer Lawrence. We can’t wait to see how this works out for the pair.

Patricia Arquette took a stand for gender equality in the film industry this year when she used her acceptance speech at the Oscars to point out the frustrations of all female actors. And Meryl Streep was very strongly in agreement.

Tina Fey has even rounded up a group of famous ladies in a sketch for Inside Amy Schumer that again called out the industry for their treatment of women in Hollywood films.

Jennifer Lawrence is a pretty memorable face on the red carpet circuit. Mostly because almost every move she makes is going to be a gif five minutes later.

But ever since The Hunger Games: Catching Fire media tour in 2013, there have been a couple of equally beautiful faces often found right beside her: namely her strapping bodyguards.

It seems that one half of this gorgeous duo is based in LA, while the other works alongside the actress when she's in New York. It's good to cover all angles, we say.

Apparently choosing incredibly attractive men to hang around her just in case danger comes is another delightful quirk of Jennifer’s. We’re not complaining. And we respect her for it.

Indeed, just last month, bodyguard Justin Riblet made waves while accompanying Jen through LAX.

And now it's Greg Lenz's turn.

While out apartment-hunting in New York this week, Greg (not that we've forgotten about you, Justin – we miss you), was spotted by her side looking fine enough to star in his own photoshoot.

But that’s not all: this guy is willing to take a bullet for the Hunger Games actress AND he’s also committed to protecting her tiny pet dog too. Pippi must have had the time of her canine life.

However, according to Twitter, Jennifer needs to be careful because these guys could end up stealing her thunder. Indeed, one user posted: “Jennifer Lawrence’s bodyguard has me all like 'Jennifer who?'"

We reckon it's well worth the risk.

It was the celebrity scandal that dominated headlines for weeks last year.

Known as ‘Celebgate’, the hacking of iCloud accounts belonging to the likes of Rihanna, Arianna Grande and Kate Upton rocked Hollywood and upset countless stars.

And in particular, Jennifer Lawrence was especially vocal about how disgusted she was with her private pictures being accessed online.

The issue certainly hasn't just gone away either: now the FBI’s Cybercrimes Unit has released new warrants and reports from the scandal, which took place last year.

According to the reports, the FBI has narrowed down its suspect list. But most shocking of all is that the agent who spoke with Jennifer during the investigation had to stop the interview when she "stated she was having an anxiety attack and was visibly shaken".

Speaking out about the event with Vanity Fair last year, J-Law said: “I can't believe that we even live in that kind of world.

"It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime… it is a sexual violation. It's disgusting." 

She also said that attempting to put together a public statement was either too upsetting or made her furious. 

Being described in the report as “very distraught” throughout the whole process, Ms Lawrence herself said of the hackers: “I just can't imagine being that detached from humanity.

"I can't imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside."

Despite all of this emotional distress, and the evidence of the hacking, an FBI spokesperson did confirm with Gawker that there has yet to be charges brought against the man whose home was raided in connection with hacking.

While the cast may have only finished filming the final instalment in the series, the trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has been released.

Last weekend marked the beginning of the end for the massive Hunger Games franchise, and its loyal fans. Director Francis Lawrence tweeted his goodbye to the series on Sunday with producer Nina Jacobson and the official Twitter account promoting the trailer release with the hashtag #Unite.

In case you need a recap before watching the latest trailer, here’s what was going on when we left Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her squad of rebels.

Basically, while the whole gang were reunited, things weren’t so great for Katniss in the romance department. Her kind-of love interest Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) has been brainwashed and pretty much wants her dead. She’s got bigger things to worry about though as her efforts to save Panem from evil President Snow (Donald Sutherland) are going to be pretty time consuming.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 is set to be released on 20 November 2015.

But it’s possible that the coming instalment may not be the last we see of the franchise. Lionsgate said earlier this year that they are developing possible prequel and sequel Hunger Games movies. The entertainment company said about the films previously “the mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.”

We wonder what Chris Martin had to say about this!

It's been over a year since Jennifer Lawrence split from her X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult after three years together, but a new photo suggests they are as comfortable together as ever. 

The couple first met on the set of X-Men: First Class back in 2011, the first film in which they appeared as love interests Mystique and Beast.

Jennifer announced earlier this year that she was quitting the famous film franchise, but her contract still obligates her to complete work on the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse alongside her ex.

Now, the first picture of the couple on set together has emerged, and they are looking very happy indeed to be in one another's company.

Film director Bryan Singer took to Instagram last night to share this selfie of himself, J-Law and Nicholas smiling together with the caption, "Back with the #kidsinthehall #jenniferlawrence #mystique #nicholashoult #beast #Xmen #XMenApocalypse"

Jennifer's fresh-faced look suggested filming had yet to begin for the day – Mystique's blue skin might not photograph quite so well!

Last year a source close to Jennifer revealed that the actress was anxious about working with Nicholas again, especially considering the new film is set to focus a lot on the relationship between their two characters.

"It’s come at a difficult time and [Jennifer’s] worried she may get confused if she starts talking to Nick again," the insider reportedly told Heat magazine.

We reckon Chris will be making a lot of "surprise" visits to the set…

Two years ago it was the rumour that caught everyone's attention: Prince Harry had his eye on none-other than 24-year-old Jennifer Lawrence. Although at the time he was seeing society girl Cressida Bonas, apparently he had a major crush on the Oscar-winner and was desperate to meet her.

Jennifer Lawrence is still seeing Chris Martin of Coldplay

Now Life & Style magazine is reporting that the still-smitten British royal has again approached the actress with the offer of a dinner-date – at Kensington Palace no less  but that she flatly turned him down. Ouch. It is reported that Harry, arguably the world's most eligible bachelor, made the most recent advance last November when Jen was in London promoting The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.

And back in March 2013, a source told OK! magazine in the US that the prince reckoned Jennifer was the girl for him. “Harry is looking for a serious relationship and is ready to settle down. And the way he’s thinking right now he could end up with a Hollywood wife,” the source added. How very modern-day Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco.  

It seems that Prince Harry doesn't give up easily 

Ms Lawrence is still quietly dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (she must have a thing for posh English boys). Meanwhile Harry (30) is currently single, although in February Emma Watson had to take to Twitter to dispel rumours she was seeing him.

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow have been "consciously uncoupled" for over a year now, and we have to admit we were holding out just a little hope of a reunion – but now it seems it's officially all over.

Even though Chris has long since moved on with actress Jennifer Lawrence, photos of family outings published over the last few months showed Chris, Gwyneth and their children Apple and Moses looking as happy as ever.

But it seems they really were putting on a face for the kids, as it's been confirmed by TMZ that the stars have just today filed their divorce papers, citing "irreconcilable differences."

No other details have emerged about the official divorce deal, but an insider recently told Grazia magazine that the pair have drawn up a detailed joint custody agreement.

"It will include at least three family holidays a year, designated joint days out with the kids and even ‘date nights’ to discuss the children and remain on good terms," said the source.

The difficult decision to file for divorce was helped along by Gwyneth's "conscious uncoupling guru," said the source.

That's a Gwyneth-approved way to say "divorce lawyer" we're guessing…

It's been seven months since Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence parted ways, and while J-Law didn't waste much time getting cosy with someone new, Nicholas has been taking his time.

It seems the wait has paid off though, as the English actor is reportedly now dating the beautiful Dianna Agron.

​Nicholas and the Glee star have been taking things slowly, but they're apparently already smitten. "They've been friends for a long time. It's early days but things between them are ticking along nicely," a source told The Sun.

"Nicholas is very low key so at first, Dianna would just tag along with him to the pub and she'd be part of the gang. No one thought much of it but recently they've become quite close and are behaving quite couply," said the insider.

The pair were reportedly spotted kissing at a pub in West Hempstead over the weekend, fuelling speculation that they were indeed an item. 

Dianna is currently living in London as she rehearses for her lead role in the West End play, McQueen, which kicks off at St James' Theatre on May 12th. The show runs until early June, so she and Nicholas will have plenty of time for more pub dates.

As for Jennifer, she has been in an on-and-off relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for several months, with the pair spotted on a number of dates in recent weeks.

We're glad to see J-Law and Nicholas are moving on – but is it bad we're skill kinda holding out hope for a reunion?!

Jennifer Lawrence's final turn as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games will hit our screens at the end of this year – but that's not all that will be coming to an end.

The actress revealed this week that she's saying goodbye to the X-Men franchise too, with one final appearance in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse next year.

Speaking to MTV at the premiere of her period drama film Serena, J-Law confirmed her departure, saying, "It is my last one, actually."

Jennifer's exit will be the end of an era, after four years so far in the role of shape-shifter Mystique.

The series must hold a lot of memories for the actress, after she met her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult on the set of X-Men: First Class back in 2011.

The pair broke up last year after three years together, and Jennifer has since moved on with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

It's thought that next year's film might be Nicholas' last appearance in the franchise too, unless he decides to renew his contract.

Former cast members Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart will not feature in the upcoming film.

It sounds as if actress Chloë Sevigny is NOT a fan of everyone’s best friend Jennifer Lawrence!

The actress was speaking with V Magazine when she called out the Jennifer, blasting the ‘marketing’ of actresses in Hollywood: “So much is about marketing and selling the product. They’ll have a really peppy funny girl on the talk show rounds and everybody adores her and loves her and wants to be her or f*** her and then so many more people want to watch the movie or TV show. I understand that star quality, how much value that carries.”

Speaking about her admiration for Angeline Jolie and Emma Stone, it’s clear that Chloë does not hold the same regard for Jennifer Lawrence: “I love when a movie star is a great movie star. I think Angelina Jolie is a great movie star. I like Emma Stone. Whenever she’s herself, she’s really cute. Jennifer Lawrence I find annoying. Too crass.”

Ouch – we wonder what Jennifer will make of her less-than-kind words?! We reckon it will go a little something like this…

The actress also blamed her own lack of charisma for not having reached heights of fame in Hollywood: "I understand star quality, how much value it carries. I don't think I have charisma. Which is probably why I never reached another level."

Yikes, we think Chloë is being a bit too hard on herself, and poor Jennifer too for that matter!

Earlier this week, we reported that Jennifer Lawrence had taken on the role of diva on the set of her latest movie, Joy, with sources claiming that she was seen having the mother of all rows with her director, David O. Russell.

While we know Jen to be the ultimate pro, eye witnesses left us wondering whether something serious had gone down between her and the Silver Linings Playbook director.

However, in an extremely rare move last night, the star took to her official Facebook page to address the news and blast the media for reporting on an apparently false story.

 

“Hey guys! It’s Jen! I know I don’t go on here a lot because I can barely work email but there’s been a terrible rumour going around the last 24 hours so I wanted to clear it up,” she began.

“David O. Russell is one of my closest friends and we have an amazing collaborative working relationship. I adore this man and he does not deserve this tabloid malarkey. This movie is going great and I’m having a blast making it!” she added.

While sources had initially claimed that Jennifer was seen screaming at Russell during an apparent strop, a representative for studio Fox 2000 said that the star’s behaviour was all part of method acting for the scene being shot.

Well, we’re glad that’s all cleared up!

Actress Jennifer Lawrence was reportedly none too happy on the set of her latest film earlier this week.

The star was spotted having a screaming match with director David O. Russell on the set of her newest film, Joy. According to onlookers, Jen wasn't happy with how David was directing a scene, and the pair began shouting and swearing at one another in front of crew members.

Producer Harvey Weinstein arrived on set the same day to see Jennifer, but he was told by David to leave immediately, as soon as he arrived, as he would further distract the cast and crew.

Despite onlookers saying the argument between Jen and David was very much a real one, the movie's studio Fox 2000 have since claimed that it was simply "method acting," with David trying to get Jennifer riled up before she shot an angry scene with another actor.

Whether or not the argument was for real, Jennifer returned to the set the next day as usual, so the pair must have worked out their differences for now!

This is the third film that Jennifer and David have worked on together- David also directed the actress in Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle

Their current film is based on the life story of Joy Mangano, a single mother who is struggling to pay the bills before inventing the Miracle Mop. Sounds like a strange enough plot line… maybe that's what is causing all the arguments?!
