I don’t know how long people will care about the Martin Lawrence romance unless some photos show up soon. This story kept poking at me yesterday. I tried to ignore it to no avail. You’ve probably heard how Jennifer attended the Los Angeles Coldplay concert. Several celebs (including Matt Damon, Zoe Kravitz, and Chris Pine) went too. To no one’s surprise, no one got a photo of Jennifer and Chris together. Chris was seen exiting by himself (above). Jennifer made a separate break for it and tried to hide her face (the Mail has exclusive pics).
Details of the evening are all over the place. Us Weekly says JLaw sat with some girlfriends in a balcony close to the stage. Chris kept pointing at her during the show and saying, “Aha! I see you!” He was all smiley and gushy. E! Online grosses us out more by reporting how JLaw went crazy during the show: “She knew every word to every song and there was a glisten in her eye as she watched Chris perform. She couldn’t take her eyes off him.” It gets worse: “Jennifer stared adoringly at Chris, both hands in the hair, dancing and singing along to ‘Magic.’” There are also unsubstantiated rumors that JLaw kept screaming, “You’re so hot!” throughout the gig.
What is going on here? I’ve been asking that question for a full month. Hollywood Life says Jennifer has had a secret crush on Chris ever since she was a teenager. So this romance is “a fantasy come true.” This is bad news, but I’m forcing myself to see the positive. Once the initial glaze wears off this romance, JLaw could realize she’s in lust with a figment of her imagination. Here’s to hoping.

This does not bode well for Martin Lawrence.
🙂
Damn, Gina!
I kept trying to figure out how him and the show were connected to these two. I need more coffee.
Or less.
Brin, I do believe you just won the internet. 😀
God this is sickening
I agree. I retched a little.
I’d sue for libel if that headline were about me. Mortifying.
This pairing gives me a case of Gastrointestinal Armageddon. I can’t. I just can’t…
I just hope she gets over him soon. This is just wrong.
Yeah, this is bad because I can’t help but wonder if after all of Goopy’s smug remarks, Chris’s attitude wasn’t, “Oh I will show you,” as he paired off with someone who is more of bonafide actress than Goop. Plus, JLaw seems pretty easy to be with. She works really hard and then her down time is spent smoking a little weed, drinking some wine, and relaxing with her friends. Goop’s down time is spent smoking ciggies and doing crazy cleanses. JLaw could end up getting pretty hurt if she doesn’t watch out. That said, JLaw looks really good right now. Her body is to die for.
I agree her bod is to die for – and I suspect that may be Chris’s motivation to get with her other than trying to get back at his ex-wife. Jen is hot – and probably fun – I doubt Chris needs any other motivation.
JLaw is a “bonafide actress”? ? ?
LOL
I lol at that one myself because I think she is pretty terrible in most things. She is really good in Winters Bone but that is such a depressing movie it is hard to watch. Thought she was miscast in Silver Linings (and thought the movie was terrible on the whole). Had no interest in seeing American Hustle because she looked miscast again from what I saw of the trailer. Regardless, she gets parts and Oscar noms, something Goopy doesn’t. I thought it was kind of interesting when in one of her last interviews, Goop talked about how the Oscar was just a thing that had no real meaning or importance. It is exciting to win one but then you realize it is really insignificant, or something along those lines. I felt she was saying that as a snub to Jennifer Lawrence but maybe I read too much into the whole thing.
@Rhiley That is what most actors say about Oscars until they get a part in an a-list project. I don’t think it was aimed to J.Law althoufh it is fun to think that it was.
@JJ: Umm, because Jennifer Lawrence IS a bonafide critically acclaimed actress. I mean, of course you are entitled to your opinion, but the fact of the matter is that established critics have been praising Lawrence’s work since day one…long before THG, even before Winter’s Bone.
Jennifer Lawrence is by far the best actress of this current generation & a force of nature. She was stunning in Winter’s Bone, incredible in Silver Linings & just off the scale in American Hustle. If she continues to develop as she has this far she will be the next Meryl Streep. I can understand the undercurrent of bitterness in these negative posts, as she has it all. Beautiful, super talented, focused & fun.
Cate Blanchette already has the title of the next Meryl Streep.
Sorry JLAW
I tend to like Lawrence’s acting, even though I think her public persona is a bit grating. But yeah…it’s not as though Paltrow hasn’t had her share of acclaim.
I seem to remember Katie Holmes having had a crush on Tom Cruise as a teen, right down to the poster on her bedroom wall and fantasies about marrying him. (That said, at least Chris Martin has “not being in a batshit crazy cult” going for him.)
That’s where my mind went too!
Same.
I was going to post the same thing. All one has to do is look at Katie Holmes to see that this will not end well.
I kind of get why Katie Holmes had a crush on Tom Cruise. Having a crush on Chris Martin is a bit baffling.
“There was a glisten in her eyes ..” SERIOUSLY what in YA-fiction hell is this.
And how the hell would they know that she knew every word to every song unless they were starring at her the entire time? That’s beyond creepy. And for the love of God can people stop believing every single word written about these two? It’s crazy how everything is taking as TRUTH no matter where it came from.
I need to get eat something i’m getting cranky haha
I know, that’s some crazy cringeworthy writing. I’ve called BS on just about everything written about then so far, everything reads like fiction to me.
Probably because it IS fiction but they keep getting away with writing whatever they want about them because everyone is falling for it and turning it into a big story haha
I know right? But this is more like really bad fan-fiction.
My favorite part was “she couldn’t take her eyes off of him”…
yeah, I imagine neither could the other thousands of people in the crowd. It was a concert for f**ks sake, and rules of concert etiquette usually dictate that you keep your eyes on the lead performer.
Good one mia, put concert etiquette has gone down the tubes what with iphone, inattentive, short attention span audiences, etc. Used to like Coldplay but i’m returning to my classic rock roots, queen and zeppelin et al. make these guys look like jr. high school amateurs imho.
Seriously!
It makes it hard for me to believe that they were so publicly fawning over each other across a venue, when they won’t even exit a building together. It makes the claims of her shouting “You’re so hot” pretty hard to swallow.
Was she drunk??
Around 25-26, I dated a man a dozen years older than me (with two kids). And honestly, the relationship was full of love and support and very stable. By that time in my life I had graduated college, had a job, wasn’t into partying as much and becoming an adult in my own right. He was stable in his career, had life experience but still ambitious. And we really did have a lot in common from our sense of humor to what we liked to do for fun. So yeah M.LAW may seem like an odd pairing, but I’m sure they also have something that we don’t see. I’m rooting for them.
thank you! finally someone who doesn’t see this as the end of the world lol
True. At 16 I lost my virginity to a 32 year old and had a purely sexual relationship with her for about three years. At times I felt a little bummed out about not being able to get with girls my own age, but I was getting some more often than my friends, so that was cool.
My first husband was 15 or 16 years older than me (I can’t remember). We married when I was 25 and he was around 40. We had a very good marriage and two wonderful children and were happy together until he passed away unexpectedly.
So Sorry for your loss.
I’m also so very sorry for your loss. And very happy that you had those good years together. It must be a good feeling to know you gave him such joy in the time you did have, and some beautiful kids.
It isn’t the age difference that confuses me. It is that she has so much personality, and he seems to have a very mousy one. But perhaps there is more fire to him than what I get from his music.
Hi, Tiffany,
I’ve seen him interviewed several times, after always feeling he was a bit of a snoozy mouse, too., and I’ve never been a Coldplay fan. He was truly funny, interesting and self-deprecating in those interviews. Even his looks seemed different – he was very good-looking in the interviews I’ve seen, with a lovely smile and twinkly eyes, and I suddenly really liked him. I think he’s a lot more fun than what his Coldplay persona and still photos let on, and I don’t see a problem with his pairing up with this girl. It might last, or it might not, but that’s true with all relationships, celebrity or not.
Don’t get this pairing. Why does she insist on making those stupid faces all the time when being photographed? We get it. You don’t take this seriously, you’re one of the guys, just like us, blah, blah. So tiresome. I know everybody thinks it’s cute. Get off my lawn.
She is as annoying as his music, so I guess they have something in common! They both also lack talent.
Have you seen these photos on DailyFail yesterday? The photos were taken after Coldplay concert. She was covering her face with her purse and then in the car hid her face in her hands and with her hair. It looked ridiculous. She behaves like a spoilt kid. I get it that it can be tiresome but she knew what she was getting into. Nobody made her do two big franchises and get millions of dollars for them… Like it’s really such a sad and hard life getting so much money and being papped ocasionally (she’s not papped so often and not so agresively…)
Why do they hide their face anyway? Celebrities I mean? We know it’s them.
The photogs probably don’t get paid very well for a blocked shot, and it is nighttime those flashing bulbs have to be p.i.t.a. Imagine an iphone camera flash going off in your face dozens of times.
@Alex: A “spoilt kid”??…really?. I didn’t get that feeling at all. After everything that’s gone on these past few weeks, I thought that she just seemed frustrated. I would too, I guess. It’s good that she’s out and about now, though.
I understand her situation right now, but the thing is it wasn’t the first time she behaved like that. If it was an isolated case, it would be completely understandable but it isn’t.
If I was walking into the dark night and someone was flashing bright lights in my face, I would probably shield my face as well. Her priority probably isn’t taking a good picture in those moments.
If I were stalked by people, and all I needed to do to massively cut their payout for that stalking was cover my face, I’d do it, too. She doesn’t owe them anything at all, so why complain that she hides her face? I don’t understand why that bugs people. It’s her own time in her own life – she can do what she likes. No sympathy or patience with stars who are rude to fans at meet and greets, or on publicity tours/the red carpet, but they’re otherwise entitled to a private life. They sell their performances, not their souls. Why the disdain if they don’t want to play ball with camera-equipped stalkers? IDGI.
I wonder if we are being played here. Dates, and two concerts where he has made her location known and there are NO pictures?! Something doesn’t add up…I want pictures.
Eh! I like Chris Martin as a person. He is super nice and down to earth in person.
Me too. For the life of me I don’t get why SHE would be too good for HIM. It’s seem the other way around for me, she seems like a lot to handle.
Ugh I’m so sick of people coming down on this coupling. It’s really not THAT odd. She shy’s away from the spotlight for the most part, he does too. The relationship is probably pretty easy going. I don’t think CM is as horrible as everyone thinks he is. Whats the worst that can happen?
+1
He married a blonde,Moviestar, Academy Award Winner, it Girl of that time.,..and
Now …he’s dating the current MovieStar, blonde , it girl, Academy Award Winner of her time.
JLAW has said in the past she likes a guy that leans more toward nerdy type .
I think Chris Martin is a hot looking, nerdy type.
He’s not a pretty boy but hot in his own way. IMO
The meltdowns, I tell you…
Ha 🙂
What is going on here? Chris is never this mushy when he was with Madame Goopy.
Chris once stopped a concert and went kissing Goop who was in the middle of the crowd. He’s a showman, a part from a singer, afterall.
He must be in pig’s heaven to be with a real person who eats real food with real thoughts as opposed to Paltrow. When this relationship ends, it is Chris who will mourn the uncoupling more than Jennifer. In the meantime, I bet they’ll have fun together.
I love him and his music but I think she’s really overrated, I don’t understand the hype
I’m with you. I like a few Coldplay songs, but most sound the same to me. And, I’m still in awe she won the Oscar. I saw the movie, and I didn’t think it lived up to its hype. Somebody posted something higher that fit my opinion perfectly.
Thankfully I don’t like J.Law for her killer music taste. But seriously, of all rockstars you can have a crush on…
THERE IS A MOCKINGJAY ON HIS SHIRT PEOPLE! We have confirmation!
Now that you mention it, the image DOES look like a mockingjay.
I couldn’t help but notice, not sure if it’s the shadow of the photo but it looks like he peed his pants…sorry, hangs head…..
At least they were at the same place and the same time.
Rockstar? No.
I still don’t believe this relationship.
I don’t know, he looks kind of skelator-ish to me. She must be on some kind of weird Coldplay kick or something.
JLaw is probably having fun doing the rock chick thing – but if lasts, she may need an intervention. Oh, and LOL at the idea that her acting skills are overhyped – anyone who can perform the two utterly different roles she played in HG and AH has a range that goes beyond 90% of her peers.
She is very overrated. She was good in WB and that’s it. Personally, I found her hard to watch in AH.
I found everyone in AH except Renner and Cooper unwatchable. Bale was even annoying. RA’s accent was awful.
I didn’t think much of AH as a film, but JLaw was tremendous in it – just watch the scene in the restaurant near the end and the subtlety of her emotional shifts. You could argue she was too young and too good looking to play that part, but what she does with it is top class work. Oscar voters may have odd taste sometimes, but they’re not fools.
I still don’t get why everyone keeps repeating that she was too young to play the part. It’s been said over and over that David O. Russell switched the ages of the wife (JLaw) and the mistress (Amy Adams) so that Amy Adams could have more of a lead role. JLaw was supposed to be young in the role. Her character wasn’t more than early to mid twenties.
Chris is a 37 year old father of two, if she wants the rockstar girlfriend experience I doubt she will get it with him.
I don’t get her appeal, she is a terrible actress, her Oscar win was a complete joke and her behavior is annoying.
I don’t get her appeal, but she is a good actress. Imo
I like her alright, just the hype around her is annoying.
It’ll go away when she’s done with the Hunger Games movies. She’s a bit of an anomaly in HW–so I think she’s worth the hype and the admiration. She came in on her own name. And did critically acclaimed work, WHILE doing more commercial stuff (Hunger Games). I don’t think I’ve ever seen an actor do both, at the same time….star in a franchise film series WHILE putting out Oscar/GG/SAG nominated work.
I don’t have a girl crush or anything on JLaw–but I do think she’s awesome, if a bit annoying. I don’t think I could be friends with her in real life–she reminds me too much of my sister.
@Virgilia Coriolanus: Plus one million.
And on top of that–she is known for her work. NOT her personal life. Although talking about farting, etc is what she talks about instead of her love life.
She’s a good actress but much overhyped. Too much. She’s young and inexperienced. Just too soon for the compliments she got. She was great in WB, not that great in SLP (totally undeserved Oscar but the campaign Weinstein organised to get her this award was perfect), terrible in AH, boring in X-men. I’ve never watched HG though.
I would probably watch out for her in the future acting-wise but right now for me her abilities and what she can do after working on them are completely overshadowed by her “goofy-quirky-relatable” persona.
She’s genuinely brilliant in the first Hunger Games film – really exceptional. Strange to say because it’s a genre film, but that performance is one if the best I’ve seen in years.
It could’ve been worse. He could’ve gone the full Springsteen and plucked her out of the crowd for a dance on stage.
The details read like really bad fanfiction. No one spotted them together at the after party. People who were sitting around Jennifer said that Chris never pointed at her in the crowd at all. Plus with the stage lights how in the world would he be pointing her out during the show? It’s like the writers have never been to a concert. At this rate I’ve dated a ton of singers because I’ve been to their concerts and sang to every song. Also some of the details were just flat out false like the part where he dedicated Atlas to Jennifer. The song was never even performed. It just reminds me of when celebs will talk about opening up magazines to find some crazy stories about themselves. I feel like this is one…and less and less people find it credible with NO proof
Oh, god. JLaw had drunk the Lukewarm Aid. Maybe he has a gifted dong, cause otherwise I don’t get it.
Reminds me of the Bradley Cooper rumors that went on for months even though Jennifer had a bf and towards the end Bradley was dating Suki. But since they did two movies together they were OBVIOUSLY dating. Lol. Except Bradley and Jen said he was old enough to be her dad. I just wonder how long they think people are going to be interested in a story where there is magically no photo evidence. The outlets even made up dates to when the recent pap shots of Jen were taken. They were taken last week when Chris was in a different city (in front of tons of fans) but now they are saying Sunday and that Jen was leaving his Malibu house. Even though she wasn’t at his house in the photos were at a random stores. I just can’t with the PR spin
Ugh, I would’ve preferred that JLaw and Bradley Cooper dated, than him with Suki. At least between them, there’s more than “He’s famous, I’m hot!”..
I agree. I like JLaw but this reads as Chris’ midlife crisis and PR grab and Jen’s rockstar fantasy. Gross
I agree! They at least have chemistry! And we would kill two birds with one stone – Bradley could get rid of Suki and Jennifer of Chris! Bingo!
PS I would even rather see her with Hemsworth and that means something! 😉
The Chris Martin-JLAW Romance is Much more FUN to watch than Alamooney!
This one is real. Hahaha I’m loving this.
He’s pulled JLAW!
I used to wonder who when Gwen and Chris were together who was the one who wanted their stuff kept quiet and thought it was Chris. I now realize that it was Gwen. Here they are separated and hardly a word about Gwen and her other men. She really can keep stuff out of the press. As for Gwen I think she is laughing at this relationship.
Yup……people around him are probably talking. He’s with Hollywoods young MovieStar IT Girl, he probably wants to shout it from the rooftops.
People are speculating that these stories are actually to detract from Goop and her relationship. Because when the story came out about Goop and Brad people were starting to wonder if they cheated on their spouses. Two days later we have this “relationship” story and suddenly no one is talking about Goop maybe cheating. Notice that all of the stories paint Goop as being cool with Jen and all. It makes her look good. And we all know how many friends Goop has in journalism…I mean she killed that takedown piece didn’t she?
the thruth is that JLaw is really more famous than Goop and tabloids sell with her because the public like her and want to know more of her.
Oh come on, they’re both leaking stuff to the press. Gwyneth’ friends talk to the media and tell us how wonderful and misunderstood she is. Yeah, of course. She planted that to make herself look better. Chris too. All these storys about him dating Jennifer? We wouldn’t know about them if he hadn’t planted infos in the press. Their publicists are working hard to make them both look good while they’re separating.
“There was a glisten in her eye?”…so much barf. Ugh.
IKR?
LOL the right ups yesterday made me laugh so hard. I thought maybe Meyer wrote another twilight novel
If I was Chris Martin, I’d be letting the world know that I’d pulled JLaw.
No ones going to comment on Jen’s SUPER HOT BODYGUARD IN THE OLIVE SHIRT???? Screw Chris, get with him instead. Aside from that I love what she’s wearing to the show and I really like her hair. But stop covering your face – how Leo Dicaprio of you.
I’m still not sure this isn’t a strictly PR romance but whether it is or not I don’t think I’ll be reading anymore articles about these two.That write up was so freaking nauseating.
Who writes like that? And why are the tabs trying to sell this romance so hard?
Honestly, I still don’t think these two are a serious couple. A few dates, maybe…invited to see him play?…sure. The rest is fanfiction. Give it time, folks…all over by December.
I doubt this is anything serious. If they are having funny, good for them. Dating isn’t the same as boyfriend and girlfriend, the latter one has to be established. I really don’t believe Eonline. They never get their facts straight.
I was initally really confused by Coldplay’s magic, love and unicorns turn on the new album and the only explanation is this crazy teen thing they have going. Ugh. For the sake of music, I hope it ends and pain and heartbreak revert Chris to his glory songwriting days.
I like them together. Chris is an amazing artist/entertainer. I would be jumping up and down over him too.
First of all, I’m a real fan of her. But anyway, it is her private thing whom she is dating with, she does not have to justify. My personal opinion is, she should leave her fingers from Chris, he is too old for her and she should try to find somebody in her age. But again: it’s her thing. No one does have the right to judge her. I really hope she does not hurt herself (after all that s.h..t happend with the leaked photos)
Don’t care one way or the other about this (alleged) couple but damn, her body is to die for. (“Damn” kept auto-correcting to “ramen. Weird. )
I’m still in denial and hope that they are not dating. It’s just wrong and he is too old for her. He was with 40 years old Gwineth. And now with 24 years old Jennifer? Date people your own age Chris. When will they broke up? Can’t wait for it.
I remember a friend was gonna buy a book of piano tabs for Coldplay songs and I was all like how hard can it be to play a Coldplay song? Just go plunka plunka plunka on the keyboard, and then change the key. hahaha
Yes! I think you got it.
Another Katie Holmes crushes on Tom Cruise Disaster Story.
I don’t want to read it, 🙁 Just NO!
Obnoxious actress knows all the songs by a boring band. Nothing to see here.
Moreover, does everyone in Hollywood like the same exact bands or what? Has anyone else noticed this? If you’re a celebrity who likes pop music, you like the same pop artists every other celebrity who likes pop music likes. If you’re a quirky indie actor/actress, you like the same crap that all the quirky indie actor/ actresses do. If you’re more of a “rocker”, you enjoy dad rock or Coldplay/Maroon 5/something else.
It’d be refreshing to see an actor or actress who attends metal shows.
New photos of JLAW in Las Vegas backstage entering another of Chris’s concerts.
