I’ve been trying to tamp down my expectations for Sunday’s Golden Globes, just because it feels like the fashion drama is going to be severely muted (that’s just the vibe I’m getting). But then I remembered: Jennifer Lawrence is going to be there! YAY! She’ll probably wear some hideous Dior mess, but at least it will be something fun to talk about. Anyway, Glamour has released a video to go along with J-Law’s slutty-power-lesbian cover story, and of course, the video includes tons of Classic J-Law moments. She smells like wine! She has cramps! She invented a pizza sandwich! Oh, J-Law. You really are America’s Fart-Soaked Sweetheart. She even starts out by saying, “Hi, I’m Jennifer Lawrence. Have you been hiding under a rock? How would you not know that?” And it just gets better from there. Some highlights (the video is at the end of the post):
Her signature scent: “Red wine. I’m sure it’s always seeping from my pores. I smell like a Cabernet.”
Women are stronger than men: “Men get sick and it’s just ‘uugghhh!’ We have to deal with being sick once a month and life goes on. We’re a lot more physically tough I think, than men, and we don’t get a lot of credit for that. And I’m not saying that because I’m cramping like a pregnant lady right now.”
Her favorite curse word: “F—kery… I feel like everyone gets that. This is a bunch of f–kery. It’s not technically a word, but it makes complete sense. And it comes out of my mouth a lot.”
Her advice for her middle-school self. “School is hard, being a teenager is awful, I wouldn’t go back in time for anything. So I guess I would just say, this is gonna suck. There’s nothing you can do about it, but you will grow out of it one day and become an adult, and everything will be better. But! You get zits your whole life. Nobody ever tells you that.”
Her favorite food invention: “It’s called a chili pizza sandwich. You have a piece of pizza and you put chili in it, noodles in it, like southern chili, and then another piece of pizza and then you eat it like a sandwich. And I was totally sober. Completely sober.”
I don’t think I understand the framework of the chili pizza sandwich. So, you start with one slice of pizza, then add noodles and chili, then you top that with another piece of pizza, and then you eat the whole thing like a sandwich? That sounds disgusting. Why not just eat a slice of pizza with a side dish of chili? How farty do you have to be? Last thing: she’s absolutely right, “f—kery” is a great word.

she needs to stop talking. for someone so young, with such luck, she sure does know how to become as annoying as possible. get some acting lessons before you turn into a joke.
SO incredibly incredibly annoying. And overrated. She manages to come across as both annoying and fake at the same time. I can’t stand her. Can you tell?
She’s really pretty though.
Nothing that comes out of her mouth has any intelligence to it. She is incredibly annoying, with the maturity level of a 12 year old. She tries way too hard and it shows.
‘Nothing that comes out of her mouth is intelligent’? Really? Her equal pay essay was sharp and to the point – and in my experience, people who are as funny as she is are usually smart and quick.
Is your avatar Emilia Fox?
I can’t comment on her acting, because I have been living under a rock and haven’t watched any of her movies, but her quotes are okay to me. I don’t think she’s *trying* to be anything; she’s just talking about herself, and that’s what she’s being asked about. The things she says remind me of the make believe interviews I have with myself whilst I’m out walking the dog; I talk about all the boring/stupid/little things that I do, as though I’m someone who actually cares about the answer. Because no one else in my life gives a toss.
A lot of people are at least genuinely interested when she says it.
I have to tell you how much I enjoyed your comment about talking to your dog about the things that go on in your day. “Because no one else in my life gives a toss”. Yep. I know that feeling. My cat is a good listener too. My dear friend and neighbor once said, when her adult daughter wasn’t listening to what she was saying, ” nobody wants to hear my stories”. I tease her about it because she is such an interesting person. Our families just don’t always realize it.
LOL I’m NOT the only one who “interviews” myself when I’m walking my dog! Phew! I don’t have a problem with any of what she said. In fact, being a recent transplant to Kentucky, she gives me hope for my future – maybe I can survive here!
I like her and think she’d be alot of fun to hang out with.
Lol, tell her two Oscars that she needs acting lessons. Plus she’s beautiful. Someone’s Jelly.
Lmao. She has one love.
We should probably not rag on Paltrow either then or Roberts or Swank for their acting now should we? We should never judge the acting of people who have Oscars because we all know those awards are the real deal….
I don’t doubt that there’s some jealously with regards to JLaw’s success, but Jesus Christ people treat her as the second coming of our lord and savior and that is definitely something that’s tiring.
I still think she tries too hard to be whacky. OMG my husband cannot stand her. We were watching Hunger Games and he never stopped…..she has no emotion…you don’t want to root for her…she cannot act…..she is so ugly….why is she relevant…..just one them things I guess. I had to remind him it was just a movie when he was so delighted when Petta tried to strangle her. Remember…..what you love most will destroy you. Now that was a long two hours in the family room. lol
Really? Lol, that’s funny. But I guess the emotionless thing is really a Katniss’s issue that Jennifer explored very well. A mix of a defense mechanism with lack of social skills, I think.
Why do people find it amusing to her her talk about Doritos, farts, and now chili pizza sandwich? Is it to make her seem like us, like real people are doing this stuff on a regular basis? I get that she is supposedly more candid than other Hollywood people but does anyone actually think she eats like this on a regular basis? This whole thing with her is tiring and ridiculous.
Again with the alcohol. More and more, I feel she has an alcohol problem and it’s not really funny at all.
Bah
Americans are so uptight.
Red wine is great.
@Lex,
Maybe we are uptight, but if she is falling because she drinks too much, then perhaps red wine isn’t so great for her. I mean, she says it comes out of her pores? Even if she is kidding, that’s a pretty serious use of wine.
Are you serious? 😀
How we know that she’s REGULARLY falling BECAUSE of alcohol though?
“I mean, she says it comes out of her pores? Even if she is kidding, that’s a pretty serious use of wine.” Hahahahaha
Seriously, though, she’s 25. I think it’s hard to gauge if someone genuinely has a drinking problem or not at that age, and even harder when it’s a stranger. She’s probably fine.
I get how people could find her to be too much, but I can’t help it, I like her.
Me too. This will sound odd, but I feel like I truly “know” JLaw. She’s not perfect, she can be a bit much and very often gives TMI. But she’s also fun and says a lot of smart things when being serious. I feel like there’s a lot of layers to her celebrity persona, which you don’t usually find.
That’s why I like her. People say she tries too hard but I really think she’s just being herself.
Same. I do have to say that watching Amy Schumer’s special felt like watching Jennifer Lawrence and not Amy so that made me sad. There is a 9 year age difference there 25 – 34. I have lots of feels and thoughts on that one. I like her but I only relate to her as a much younger me.
I like her too. And one reason is because I think that celebrities get asked stupid questions all the time, and JLaw is one of the few who responds with answers that are equally ridiculous. I honestly don’t care what her or any other actor’s “signature scent” is. So if she wants to give ridiculous answers to ridiculous questions, then more power to her, I say! At least she’s unpredictable, and doesn’t take it all too seriously.
how often has she mentioned she eats pizza?
Out of respect for JLaw fans I chose not to comment on this. Nobody likes when their fave gets slammed but JLaw is not doing herself any favors.
I give her points for being out there and promoting and selling her work but she needs to come up with a new shtick.
The chili pizza sandwich sounds great if you remove the noodles.
Agreed. Chili is no place for noodles, but pizza sounds like a great place for chili!
What kind of serial killer thinks that a chilli pizza sandwich is the best food invention when cronuts are a thing that exists?
Sweet vs savoury.
I’d eat a cheeseburger over the best cake that exists any day of the week. Thinking about sweet food does nothing for me at all.
Same! In fact, I’m barely tolerating pancakes right now because there’s no real food in the house.
I think I have reached Jennifer Lawrence overload now. Enough already. You’re zany and “just like the unwashed masses.” We get it.
I gotta agree with you Lurker…I want a break from her, but not too much just because she is entertaining 🙂
I still love her but shiver thinking about the press tour with Schumer.
oh gawddd I forgot about that. Both of them are so ridiculous.
Amy Schumer will start talking about her weight and how happy she is at this size and how much sex she is having. I don’t know why Schumer is always the first one to mention her weight. It seems like she wants it to be the focus. Then her Cheeto dipped buddy will start talking about all the nights they rolled in booze and pizza grease.
Oh save us now.
After viewing the latest two Hunger Games, Amerucan Hustle and the x men movies I’m realizing she bored me as an actress and I just find her annoying on a personal level because she just screams mediocrity and OMG I’M SO RELATABLE
I am very glad and grateful that I am not the only one who feels this way!
But non mediocre people do not become America’s Sweethearts. I mean it as no insult to Jen and i love her and think she is actually very intelligent but her ditsy frat boy persona is why she is recognised in almost all of States whereas very very highbrow people like say Cate Blanchett never connected on her level.
This. She was great in Winter’s bone, annoying in SLP, okay in American Hustle and mediocre and boring in Hunger games and xmen. She is cute and used to be genuinely funny but then it got old so fast and now she comes across as annoying and try hard.
I feel like I’m the only one who liked her in SLP. Maybe because I had SUCH low expectations for that movie and finally, begrudgingly watched it at a friend’s behest.
But I thought she did a good job with that character.
*shrugs*
@I did too, Kitten. I thought she did a great job in it.
I don’t think she was bad in SLP, she was charismatic and overall it was a fine performance (though not award worthy).
My issue with her was that she was miscast. She was too young for the part and I couldn’t buy into her as a grieving widow turned nympho. Not only her youth but she always seemed too self assured and “headstrong” to be such a mess that her character was described as. A performance like Sarah Silverman’s in I Smile Back would’ve been a better portrayal of the character.
Glad you like my book Maid Not ForYou … it mentions JLaw and her level of mediocrity and media and even MORE mediocrity.
My book should have been more relevant than any of this shit. Yeah I said it.
The Pizza sandwich thing sounds so gross. I cannot understand how people have noodles and bread toegther.
I want to know what part of the South eats chili with noodles. Rice, maybe but noodles? Texas girl frowns on this one.
Yeah, I thought that was a Cincinnati thing.
They call it spaghetti red (I think). I have some relatives with Kentucky roots and they love the stuff.
A creamy pasta/noodle dish (like one of those sour cream + chives side dishes) on a piece of buttered white bread is so delicious.
Terribly unhealthy, yes, but delicious.
I visited multiple cities in Texas earlier this year and what she described is NO where near as disgusting as things I saw on menus at restaurants…
Deep fried Mac & Cheese Burger smothered in Ranch & Blue Cheese Dressing with a side of Bacon Cheese Fries…. No thank you.
I eat unhealthy as a general rule and this is making me gag. But hey to each their own. I have mayo and banana sandwiches so i have no leg to stand on
I live in Texas and haven’t seen any of those items on the menus of restaurants I go to. You must have been at some pretty questionable establishments.
Pizza and chili? Ugh. I cannot imagine the assplosion.
This reminds me of those hybrid sandwiches that fast food chains tried to make happen a couple years ago, like the Doubledown etc. None of that sh*t even sounds good to me. Why mess with perfection? Pizza ain’t broke and it don’t need fixin’.
Cramping like a pregnant lady?
I have so had enough of this woman talking. You don’t “cramp” Jennifer. You can “have cramps”. And not when you are pregnant either – oh why do I bother. She will continue on her merry million making way spouting stupid, gross, boring and completely inane details of her life, all the while collecting awards and being fawned over by the masses because she is “so real and like us”. No she is not. Most intelligent women her age would understand basic biology; they would also have a better grasp of manners and hygiene. They would also not attempt to portray themselves as a gross fratboy all the time.
I did this at 25, but I knew when to turn it on and off. She has no off switch.
I don’t think she’s going for a biology lesson here, just hyperbolically comparing her cramps to contractions in a way that some may find humorous.
See, I didn’t equate it with contractions. Either way, f you’re pregnant and cramping you should be at a hospital and there’s nothing funny about it. She’s a dingbat.
Meh.
She sounds pretty dumb. As for her acting, it’s bland, just like her ‘pizza sandwich’.
Jennifer needs to pow-wow with Christian Bale, who somehow manages to not do many interviews, stays intensely private, and somehow still manages to get accolades for his acting and has a pretty good rep. See Jennifer? You can totally stay relevant and lauded without constantly doing interviews about how sooo many people pay attention to you.
I thought Christian Bale had a terrible reputation for his explosive temper. Point taken, but perhaps not the best example.
Honest question: is it an expression in english to say being ‘sick’ when having your period?
I’m asking because as English is not my first language, I dont know if it is a common term used for the discomforts of menstruating (e.g. in my country the same ‘sick’ term is used by some older people when a women is pregnant). Personally, I don’t like when women refers that way about it, it is part of our biology and not a sickness.
No it’s not. Some women really do suffer during their periods, they feel nauseous and have horrible cramps so it would be OK to say “I’m having a really bad period and feeling sick”. But to say that women get sick once a month is just another one of Jen’s mindless brain blurts.
I know women who can barely stand while they’ve got their period – suffering through excruciating pain, cramps, headaches etc. Seems like a sickness to me!
When I get my period I’m extremely nauseous, shaky, I get migraines, and the pain from cramping is so bad I can barely move. If I go to the hospital, they’ll give me morphine. Childbirth was less unpleasant.
Perhaps the ‘smelling like wine’ explains her peeling in sinks and throwing up she’s already thoroughly discussed. As for the chili/pizza combo, it’s far from New..we did it many years ago in college..leftover anything got piled on leftover pizza (chili’s okay–tuna salad, not so great).
Thinking about a chili pizza sandwich gives me heartburn. That girl must have a cast iron stomach.
She’s 25. She is going to EXPLODE (no fat shaming there cause my ass got huge when I turned 30!) when her metabolism slows down.
I am a hundred percent sure she does not have all that she mentions having all the time. She would have to be working out 20 hrs a day then.
Well, theoretically you can eat a chili cheese sandwich a day and actually lose weight if that’s all you eat. Conversely, you can eat 3 salads a day and gain weight, depending on the caloric content of each salad.
I do believe she has some drunken late nights where she eats garbage. I also believe that the rest of the time she probably eats very little to maintain her figure. But we’d never hear about that because it doesn’t gel with the carefree Tomboy image she’s been cultivating for years now.
I think you’re right, but I also think that she has a good metabolism – for now. It’ll slow down eventually. And I think she works out, so she can balance it out right now. I wonder what Emma Stone eats though, she’s very thin.
I’m so sick with people taying the whole “Women are stronger than men” bullsh*t.
And Jennifer in general makes it very hard for me to like her for more than 5 minutes. She says something I consider smart and considerate and then buries it under a pile of talk about puking and peeing and “I’m so relateable I eat pizza” nonsense.
Now watch me EAT, Now hear me fart fart. God, we get it. You love to drink (me too) and you love to eat (all of us). Yes, you win The Real Gurrrrrrl Award. You are just like us. Now please chill out.
There are some really great grouchy comments here! She’s talented (I really don’t get the comments about her being a mediocre actor, that’s clearly not the case), funny and gives great value in her interviews. Frankly, 90% of celeb interviews are boring – hers never are.
Nothing against her as a human being. We are just sick of hearing her talk. About herself. And it’s always stuff about how awesome and “real” she is. Oh look now she’s made up a fun sandwich in her kitchen, because NONE OF US HAVE EVER DONE THAT. Or farted. I’ve never farted, have you? I’ve never farted or puked or got so nervous that I had stomach upset or peed in a weird place out of desperation or felt out of place in a crowd or had insecurities or got drunk and acted silly or had a lonely New Years Eve night or experienced boys not paying attention to me or fallen down in front of a crowd. NO, no. I’ve never experienced any of these! At least, that’s what JLaw seems to think about everyone except her.
I really like the woman. She makes me laugh, she seems to be a nice person, she says some very sensible things when in serious mode, and she’s a good actor.
It’s not her fault the world is asking her endless stupid questions and she is good-naturedly replying, as she is contractually obliged to do. But she is choosing to say some feminist and thoughtful things now with her platform, and that isn’t risk free.
Good for her.
@K2
Being a feminist in Hollywood is absolutely risk-free. It’s the women who have decided they don’t like the label who are subjected to criticism. When was the last time a famous woman said the words “I don’t consider myself a feminist” without experiencing a swift and negative backlash via the internet, including having her intelligence called into question? Emma Watson, with no worldly experience whatsoever, was given a prime spot in the United Nations to give speeches on feminism. Lena Dunham, one of Hollywood’s leading feminists, is tight with Hilary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Numerous celebrities, male and female, are given photo spreads in magazines wearing T-shirts that read “This is what a feminist looks like”. Feminism is rewarded in Hollywood. I’m not down on you liking JLaw. I completely get that she is likable to a lot of people. But don’t make her out to be suffering for anything.
Very well said, sochan
@Sochan: The main reason why the celebrities who have publicly rejected the feminist label got backlash was because the reason they gave for rejecting the label showed that they didn’t understand what feminism is. Which is partially the fault of the celebrities for not educating themselves about it, partially the fault of sexists, and partially the fault of some self-identified feminists who have said bigoted, problematic, contradictory things that spread false information about what feminism is and who’s not ‘allowed’ to be one. The other reason someone might criticism for rejecting feminism is if they make ignorant statements that show that they’re clearly more interested in furthering a traditional patriarchal society and sweeping sexism and racism under the rug than they are about promoting equality.
But I disagree that famous women don’t get criticism for being feminists. They get criticism regularly from misogynists on the internet. And if they dare to be feminists without conforming to an image that doesn’t conform to traditional patriarchal standards of ladylike ‘respectability’, (a.k.a. “modesty”) they get criticism from both misogynists and self-identified feminists.
Wow, she will not age well with such habits. She’s already looking puffy and bloated and she’s not even in her 30s. Watch what you eat, Jennifer
Unending try-hard from this one. It’s so in my face how totally awesome she is on a daily basis that I pre-emptively roll my eyes in her honor before my daily gossip refresh.
I honestly can’t believe she’s still talking. About herself. Again. Over and over and over.
She’s on a press tour. She gets asked about herself, over and over. That’s how they work.
Exactly. I’ve always found the “He/she’s always talking about self” criticism of celebrity interviews so weird. She’s being asked about herself, her experiences, and her opinions.
I think she gets that she’s overexposed now. “How would you not know that?” No one usually intends to have two films come out back to back and be promoting non stop for months on end. She sure as hell didn’t expect to win all those awards at such a young age. I kinda feel she’s been at the mercy of the Hollywood machine. Now that her franchise is finished, they will back off some and we won’t see her as much.
Starring in a franchise is a double edged sword in so many ways and sadly that’s all Hollywood seems to want now!
Sigh. Here comes the “i’m just normal like every fun girl” press routine.
Honestly I think the only reason why she gets so much hate is because she’s everywhere. That always seems to happen when the new “It Girl” happens.
Personally i like her. i think she’s a good actress and she makes me laugh. She’s not the first person to joke about how much she likes wine, and it doesn’t mean she’s an alcoholic.
I agree completely with you. It’s not her, it’s how exposed she is. And I like her as well, she might be annoying sometimes, but she’s also smart, talent and lovely with the press.
I think she meant chili mac–as in macaroni.
It’s weird that one has her private pictures leaked and then goes on to pose for more pictures. Acting is weird.
This argument makes no sense. Consent to taking pictures you’re ok with the public seeing as part of a career that’s based on self-promotion and being seen isn’t consent to having photos you intended to be private made public against your will. It doesn’t make those private pictures fair game.
Don’t like the idea of a chili pizza, but chili tacos are good.
