According to a cover interview she just did with the U.K. magazine Fabulous, Jennifer Lawrence apparently isn’t as into her myriad Jennifer Lawrence-isms as we are. Her family’s keeping her feet on the ground (“My family is not the kind of family that would ever let me turn into an asshole or anything like that, so I’m fortunate to have them”), and she doesn’t like doing public appearances as herself.
“I’m afraid I’m going to go my whole life being scared like a chihuahua. It’s not my comfort zone. Making movies is where I belong. I shouldn’t be heard just talking. So, when I’m doing movies, I’m really happy. That’s where I’m comfortable, that’s my home. When you put me on a red carpet or on a stage, I turn into chihuahua Jennifer. I have no control over what comes out of my mouth. I would probably turn into a mute if I read what I said.”
Oh, come on, even Jennifer Lawrence has to admit that Jack Nicholson post-Oscars repartee was beautiful. A moment later, she’s back in full form pontificating on ghosts versus burglars.
“I actually get comforted when I feel like there might be a burglar in my house, like, ‘There’s a real person that might be breaking into my house, it’s not a ghost, that’s a relief.
Lest we forget the intense Method acting skills of Taylor Swift, America’s Blonde Love Unicorn will appear on the season finale of The New Girl as Elaine, an “important guest” Cece’s wedding to Shrivrang. Can we handle this much adorkability? Does the word “adorkability” still make you cringe? Good, I’m not alone. Anyway, she’ll probs sing. I’m just in it for Max Greenfield. [Vulture, L.A. Times]
Ashlee Simpson’s been partying a lot and the Simpsons, especially
“Tina’s asked Jessica to look out for Ashlee and make sure she doesn’t start partying too hard once again. With Jessica focusing on her second pregnancy, she’s a calming influence on Ashlee because she doesn’t want to go out on the town.
Instead, she prefers family nights in relaxing and has encouraged Ashlee to join them when they are all together, which she has been doing. However, Tina has told Jessica to keep an eye on the situation, just like she is, to see if Ashlee falls back into her bad old ways again – only time will tell.”
What does a Simpson family night entail? A hearty game of Boggle, maybe? Not quite as fun as doing five tequila shooters at a bar and, say, making out with a random Georgian man (the country, not the state), but whatever’s best for Ashlee. [Radar Online]
