Now that the Oscars are over, we’ve steadily moved into the backlash phase, and the feeling of wishing Anne Hathaway would go away for a few years is a given. Somehow though, people don’t feel the same way about Jennifer Lawrence. People just want more of her, and she’s already gone back to work. Yesterday, JLaw almost immediately dyed her hair back to Katniss color for her Catching Fire reshoots.
Before I get to this story, I wanted to quickly mention an article that appeared in the Mail a few days ago, and we didn’t cover it because it’s been fashion city here. Here’s the thing — Jennifer is from Louisville, Kentucky, and whenever she pays a visit to home, she makes sure to stop by and see a very close childhood friend, 23-year-old Andy Strunk, who has Down syndrome. Now I’m pretty sure that her team didn’t put out this story; instead, everything comes straight from Andy (and his mother), who is very proud of JLaw and has been showing the media photos of him and JLaw together at various ages. According to Andy, he and JLaw “are like best friends,” and they talk on the phone all the time because, “She’s kind… I think she has spirit.” I just thought it was a sweet story, and a way to prove that Jennifer has apparently always been very down to earth. Some of you think it’s all an act for her public image, but it’s hard to fake it to this degree.
More proof? A new video from GMA that contains a post-Oscar ceremony interview between JLaw and George Stephanopoulos. The two were discussing Jennifer’s “actual shock” at winning a Best Actress when Jack Nicholson started looming out from the background. George casually stated, “Oh, you got a fan here.” and Jennifer rolls back in disbelief. Then JLaw and Jack compliment each other’s work, and then things get hilarious when Jack starts hitting on her: “You look like an old girlfriend of mine,” to which the she joked, “Oh really, do I look like a new girlfriend?” Jack smugly responds, “I thought about it.” Then he starts to walk away, and she fangirls, and it gets even better, but I’ll let you watch this video for yourself.
Warning: If you don’t like JLaw and don’t want to like JLaw for any reason, please do not watch this video because it will be your JLaw kryptonite.
I love this clip. Jennifer is totally in disbelief over the fact that Jack Nicholson even knows who she is. The dude may very well be a legend, but I think she has more range than he does! She’s so cute and genuine. I think she’ll be around for a very long time. Maybe even longer than Jack.
Thanks to E! Online for this gif.

She is so cute – that clip is awesome!
She is a cute, funny young woman but she burst my bubble when she pulled a KStew and gave the press the finger after she won her Oscar. Very crass of her.
ZOMG, she did WHAT????!?!?!?!?! CLUTCHES PEARLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/sarcasm
She was talking and joking about it with the press as she did it, Jan. But by all means, get offended at her audacity to have a joke with the press.
Lou- I kinda feel the same way as Jan does. I can’t speak for Jan, but for me I wasn’t offended. I just thought “awwww that that reminds me of kstew, no bueno” I still love her though.
The photogs were shouting “don’t trip” at her that’s why she flipped them the birdie. I think it was funny 🙂
@truth!!!
Anne, sad attempt to discredit Jennifer…get over yourself and your nips.heh
Yeah, everyone was laughing there, including the press. It wasn’t meant rudely at all. The shot of her flipping isn’t often paired with the one of her laughing apologetically with her hands to her face straight afterwards, so I can see why people don’t know the context, though.
Jack is a dirty bird!!!! That said, their banter was funny and she was equally witty as he. She was very funny.
Yes he is. “I thought about it”. I bet he did.
But she handles it so well, love her!
She’s adorable and the more interviews she does I think she has surrounded herself with good people. Fan girling myself here but between the quick wit and her hot brothers I want to spend the holidays at her house.
She is adorable. Jack seemed a little perv-y.
She handled it perfectly.
Jack’s default setting is pervy!
Haha, love the video 🙂 So bummed I’ve missed so much awards coverage.
I thought he seemed really pervy and gross. And desperate for a little attention.
Oh my God I think I’m in love with her! So funny, so gorgeous and so talented. I can see why Jack would be interested 😉
+1
I loved how she told Jack he was being really rude when he first walked up and butted in.
I also love that of all people at the Oscars she was looking forward to seeing Al Roker most of all.
http://todayentertainment.today.com/_news/2013/02/25/17086451-jennifer-lawrence-oscar-winner-only-has-eyes-for-al-roker?lite
Omg…so cute.
Her reaction was so great! And when George asked her if she knew Nicholson, her response was so genuine.
she’s just so cute, I can’t help but like her.
She’s still my girl crush. She’s not drop dead gorgeous but pretty. I think that adds to her appeal. It makes her appear more girl next door who you actually want to hang out with.
so true. she looks like she’d be a blast to hang out with..
Alright, she has officially won me over.
I really, really like her. She seems to be intelligent enough to take her new life with a grain of salt. It’s very refreshing.
Exactly
Yes, Like she is just soaking it up in a very humble way. Love it <3
I was expecting Jude Law to pop in somewhere. Didn’t know that was her nickname. She has a playful personality that shouldn’t be taken literally.
Jennifer Lawrence is awesome. I love this clip. She’s really funny. I wish her the best.
OMG she’s so damn adorable. I just love her personality.
LOVE HER!
Hey Kristen – THIS is how you do genuine.
^ THIS!!!
Seriously. She is the anti-KStew.
I see she and KStew have one thing in common…..the finger.
So I guess the story last week about her fighting with Josh on the Catching Fire reshoots set wasn’t true if they just started this week. Just like the story about Jessica Chastain being jealous. Stop the madness.
Jack’s the man but that was too predatory even for him. He’s old enough to be her great grandfather. Her fangurling shock was funny though.
how can she fight with a co-star whereas the filming only restarts this week?
LMAO @ “You look like an old girlfreind of mine”
He wouldn’t have walked away after that, I would have had a ball with him! He would have been chuckling from embarrassment, he would have been at a loss for words! LOL
i saw this yesterday and was waiting for you to comment on this BH!
that was ‘the’ most hilarious knee-jerk reaction from the hit of a aging lothario ever there was.
i mean Jack has the confidence of Kings when he ‘still’ thinks his bloated-beer-belly-subway-sandwich-eating-on-the-Rivera-ass has a snowball’s chance in hell with this young thang.
http://www.celebrities-eating.com/2010/06/jack-nicholson.html
delusions of grandeur, man. 😆
Fantastic!
she’s great. i hope hope hope she builds a great career and doesn’t stop learning and improving her – already great – acting skills.
I love Jack. I would have definitely gone for it.
RIGHT!! Older men like that are harmless and you can joke back with them and take them by surprise and they know you don’t want them, younger guys are the ones that take everything to heart and you can’t say much of anything to them…
Too cute! How did this girl make it to the top in Hollywood? She’s so …. NORMAL. She makes it fun to be a fan again!
Jen is not fake..she is well raised and dedicated to acting. Jen’s family is not Hollywood pretentious trash, they are supportive & kind.
She flipped her finger..oh well.Is that after she had a “shot”?
I am so impressed with her eloquent acceptance speech, and the birthday wishes she extended to Emanuelle..after she wiped out on the stairs. Jen is obviously very resiliant & intelligent.
Nicholson is a creepy and he looks an old pervert looking for fresh meat
her reaction is genuine
even if i think she doesn’t deserve the Oscar,i hope she will keep her geniune side
Love it, their responses to each other are so funny.
But, “more range than Nicholson”? Come off it.
I hope Jennifer has a great future ahead of her and keeps that lovely grounded attitude she has, but Jack has earned every piece of his Hollywood status and comparing him to a 22yr old who’s been around for five minutes is just lame.
Agreed on all parts.
+1
Jack Nicholson is a legend but he has no range. He plays an extension of himself in most parts, he is not this character actor so i think bedhead was pretty justified in her comments. I love this clip, Jlaw is so refreshingly normal and cute.
I somewhat agree with you. I love Jack Nicholson, he’s undoubtedly a great actor. But he isn’t like DDL or Christian Bale who’re chameleons and excels at losing themselves in a role. He’s absolutely fantastic at those manic/neurotic roles though.
@ Dan and @ bubbles (and Bedhead by extension)
Jack Nicholson is unquestionably one of the greatest actors and most versatile actors, with iconic roles, stands out for the incredible range of characters he has convincingly portrayed. He has a vast variety of characters and somewhat he keeps that mysterious vibe, one can’t really figure him out, he has many divergent personalities, and as he says himself “I’m none of them and all of them, there’s a little bit of me, I suppose, in every part I play. As an actor you can’t help inserting yourself, especially if you love acting.”
He swings on many genres, drama, comedy, thriller… He can go from deep intense characters to light hearted ones. He makes you laugh, cry, hate or love him, scratch your head…
Christian Bale is awesome but as much as he’s a chameleon he plays on the same line : intense characters. Same goes for DDL, I have yet to see them in light hearted films (and not just one or two). Not that I complain that they should do it, but if they do it’d be an event.
I might be barking at the wrong tree here but I’d suggest you explore at least a good third of his filmography i.e. watch and not just the most iconic ones.
Jack Nicholson is among the best. He has done drama (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest), romantic comedy (As Good As It Gets), black comedy (Witches of Eastwick), superhero (Batman), horror (The Shining), gangster (The Departed) . . . the only thing I haven’t seen him in is musical. I love DDL (my fave), but I don’t think he could do superhero or comedy, or even horror
@Ms Kay: you tell them. Comparing Jack to a new commer it’s just disrespecful.
@ Shi-gatsu
Actually Jack Nicholson starred in a musical film called Tommy, he sings in there, it’s pretty good, it also starred Oliver Reed (one of my fave actors), Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Elton John… I recommend it 🙂
@ Diane
Ah well I’m simply stating the facts 😉 but I agree that to make that comparison, it’s quite reaching.
I love her! Her reactions were hilarious!
She looks gorgeous in this gown…very bootilicious!
Jack is starting to remind me of Red Skelton… (Your grandparents will think this is funny)
I totally said this same thing!!!! LOL!! He reminded me of the bit that Red used to do about the two seagulls!!
Guys, I met Jack some years ago, and he was just as flirty with me – I laughed, he laughed, and no-one was offended. TBH, I would have been offended if he hadn’t flirted!
do you want a nice but not politically correct story on Nicholson?
Many years ago,he partied around St Tropez with some friends.A night after the exist of a night club,a homeless just asks him a few money ,Jack replied he have nothing on him but he gives what he had in his pocket (his little bag of coke!)and says him “sell it”
I don’t know if it’s only a legend but my cousin who was barman in the club liked to tell this story
Me too. It’s shallow, but I was completely flattered.
Have you ladies seen this video where she asks Josh Hutcherson about his rash while he was having an interview? It really cracked me up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6S43hAwOFo
I don’t think Jack was creepy. He flirted in a funny way. Their exchange of words was hilarious, especially his “I’ll be waiting!!” It was not offensive at all, just really funny.
That Andy kid has done a few interviews for local news in Louisville too. Very cute story.
Love her. And I sooooo love that second dress.
LOOOOVED this video! It made me smile. For one-one hundredth of a second today, I lost my natural aura of cynacism. Glad that’s over!!
She’s not even really “cute”- she’s smart and confident and funny. She rolls with it and doesn’t take it all too seriously. Pretty refreshing for an actress, and miles BETTER than cute.
ahahahah oh my god, I loved her reaction and the fact that Jack came all the way to say that. LOL
This was awesome. There was also a funny clip when she was in the winners circle. Some guy asked her if she was worried that she peaked too soon, she made a funny face and said, “well I am now!!”. It was also cute.
It’s hard to bc Hollywood almost fetisizes these women when they are young 22 year olds and then seeks to replace them once they hit 30.
I just really want to see more of these women have long careers.
@ Andrea indeed I can’t help but think about Scarlett Johansson who was such the huge IT girl at 20 and the whole hype around of such a beautiful and amazing actress she is/was etc… Where is she now??
That being said, Jennifer Lawrence seems smarter by not playing on the whole sex image and attitude… Scarlett played around it a lot (or participated in) and said something like she couldn’t get serious roles because of her sex appeal? But then again they are 2 different personalities I guess…
I envy how laid-back she is,even around Nicholson.I hope she doesn’t change.
OK, I’m going into girl crush again 🙂
First time I saw JLaw in Winter’s bone I really loved her, but she started to get on my nerves with some try hard interviews (or what looked like it) and the Oscar campaign. But on the other hand she seems so genuine and down to earth…ah, she’s a nice change 🙂
I think that’s the thing with Jennifer. You reed her interviews and it gets to a point where it’s so abnoxious you just wonder what’s up with the love fest for the chick. But then she has televised interviews like this one and she’s so sweet and funny and simply adorable you can’t help but like her. I saw her on THG and X-men and didn’t think she was all that, then I saw her on SLP and thought she was quite good (not Oscar worthy good, though) and before I saw SLP I had only read her interviews and it was awards season so she was freaking everywhere and I was so fed up but then I saw her live interviews and now I can’t help to like her.
I think that’s the main difference with someone like Kristen Stewart; both of them are young and often inmature (the awkwardness, the moodiness on KS’ part and the fart jokes and recently the flipping the bird on Oscar night, no less, on JL’s part) but for someone like Jennifer it’s easier to give her a pass because she is quite likeable and plain goofy so people just let it slide.
This clip was awsome, BTW and it only increased my new found feeling of liking her.
You gotta admire Jack. He’s still working his randy ho-stroll. Confidence is sexy.
Totally agree!
LOL! She’s clumsy and funny but at the same time she is smooth. Incredibly smooth.
Three things:
I tried really hard not to like her, but she won me over. I love her now.
Everyone YouTube “Between Two Ferns Oscar Edition”!!
THAT ASS.
OMG, I LOVE HER! I loved her before but now I love her more. And Jack. Come ON. It’s Jack Nicholson. He is awesome, and I’m glad to see him up and about.
I think this girl is the real deal. She has real talent and skill and natural appeal. I think she has a long career ahead of her!
This girl is clever beyond her years. She just has “it.” I’m a huge huge fan. There hasn’t been anyone like her in a long time….or ever.
Love her…there is such a huge difference between Jennifer and the overpaid Kristen Stewart…and I believe they are the same age. I have a strong hunch that Stewarts career will have a short shelf life whereas Jennifer will be around for a long while.
I whole-heartedly agree! I think Kristen’s career will start to wane in the wake of Jennifer’s shine. People are seeing that Jennifer has acting talent and a positive and fun attitude. They will look at Kristen’s try-hard unwashed self and will know in a heartbeat which one they would rather work with.
I saw this yesterday and yep, I’m officially a fan.
She seems sweet and real.
He seems like a real creep and preverted.
I won’t deny I thought he was great back in the Five Easy Pieces day, but that was a long time ago and now he creeps me out. Remember when he was with Lara Flynn Boyle? Something in their relationship seemed to affect her terribly.
That girl is so cute! She seemed torn between, “OMG, Jack knows who I am!” and “OMG, Jack is coming on to me! Ewww!” And it was adorable.
It might be an American thing that I dont get.. If genuine and normal is to be loud and with the behaviour of a 12y old boy; maybe it’s something we simply don’t appreciate in Europe. She lacks any basic feminity, it reminds me of Ellen Barkin in that movie when she was a man trapped in A woman’s body.
– 1
I’m from Europe and I love this girl.
-2 also from Europe. J Law is adorable.
+3 I am in London and i love her. I actually think she speak more to brits because she is quite sarcastic. I could see her going on british talk shows and come across really well .Whereas some american starlets come on talk shows here and get confused with the british sense of humor. She had british boyfriend at one point too i think.
Am I the only person who thinks she is MAJORLY overrated, in every possible way?
I’m so over hyping every up and coming young blonde Weinstein pet… and lame franchise star in general(like K.Stew).
She isn’t horrible, and average/bit above average in terms of talent, however just because her peers are terrible( like K.Stew) doesn’t mean she is amazing and can have the longevity of Streep, De niro, or even Nicholson for that matter.
Yes, you are the only person.
Don’t mind MG. You are not the only person. I’m sick of her.
Nope. Still don’t like her.
To all who replied: just picture her next to Audrey Hepburn.
She could never be an Audrey.
I’m from Europe too and I think she is funny and loud while still being feminine.
And don’t forget some Europeans can be pretty loud too… Spanish, Italians, even some English, etc… being loud does not necessarily mean being impolite or inappropriate. I actually find countries where people tend to be more quiet and contrived a bit boring.
-whatever number it is we’re at.
I’m from Israel and I ADORE HER. Not only that, I’m not a teenager, I’m in my late 20’s and have never read The Hunger Games books. She’s just a breath of fresh air, extremely grounded and humble AND talented. Unfortunately, she’s very rare in Hollywood but fortunately – this makes many people love her.
It might be an American thing that I dont get …maybe it’s something we simply don’t appreciate in Europe.
Is that you Natalie Portman?
Also from Europe and thinking she’s great.
Anne has come off desperate, needy, and kind of pretentious through all this – Jennifer has not at all. She seems normal, witty, smart, and someone who appreciates and enjoys it all without taking it TOO seriously.
I like her a lot, hope she stays grounded and continues doing good work.
Anne Hathaway was desperate to win her oscar (it’s different!)and she deserved for her work in Les Mis whereas Jlaw didn’t deserve to win but she’s so nice,hot and fresh woman (like Sandra Bullock for example)
I respectfully disagree. The moment in Silver Linings Playbook where she literally razed me to the floor was when she kept telling Bradley how she trusted him, etc. I felt that emotion in my gut . . . didn’t really feel it with the other performances
Saw this yesterday. Love her.
Love Jack. Still such a perv. XD
Back shot of that dress…DAAAYYUM!
I’m sold on JLaw now!! Thanks for this clip.
I love this moment with her family:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GODmwMpQ-eI
She seems to have a wonderful support system and I hope she keeps herself grounded. I was personally rooting for Riva but I’m happy for this girl. Haven’t seen Silver Linings Playbook so I can’t comment on her performance, but I thought she was great in Like Crazy and Winter’s Bone.
That’s lovely, yes. It’s really nice that she has that relationship with them, hopefully it’ll keep her sane in all this.
I could see her being friends w Kristen Bell..their dramatic but genuine expressions remind of one another..like this clip brought me back to the adorable video w Bell freaking out over the sloth…both are so cute and seem sweet.
And just when I’m Jennifer Lawrence fan girl CRAZY, I see this clip and love her so much more.
She’s awesome. I can’t wait to see where her career takes her 🙂
Been a fan of hers since Winters Bone, that interview sealed the deal. I hope she can stay grounded.
I think she’s cute, I just hope that in time that cuteness doesn’t turn into creepiness like with Taylor Swift.
I’m seriously in love with this girl! She is so genuine and even with the tons of exposure she gets, I am still not sick of her. Gorgeous and so full of life.
Ack! I love her and this makes me love her even more! I feel like J.Law and I could be besties. Her reaction is great, her facial expressions are priceless, and she is cute, humble, self-deprecating, and funny, all at the same time. I love her. Have I mentioned that already? =)
“I feel like J.Law and I could be besties.”
I know the feeling! Except with me it’s Anderson Cooper. 🙂
I love Jack but what he said to her was creepy.
This is the best thing I’ve seen all awards season. That witty banter between the two of them will be a priceless memory for her. This clip is so damn cute!
She is adorable..and he is just creepy
Stephanopoulos is a total loser for missing the perfect opportunity to invite Jack and make it the most hilarious interview ever..
hah, I was just thinking how she kind of looks like a softer, blonde version of young anjelica houston 😉 badass attitude around the eyes
http://blogue.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/fwhv2d.jpg
I finally got home to see this video! hahahaha
As much as I like her, I was rooting for Riva (Jessica or Naomi too- it was such a strong category). But I have to say, I love her reaction! Jack, old fool/creepy! :). I also felt really bad she fell when she went to get her award.
ps: I wonder if Harvey ever tried to make her one of his girls and this is how she reacted, hahahaha.
People who dislike JLaw… just, WHY?!
And for anyone to say that story about her friendship with Andy is by her team is just the saddest, most cynical thing ever.
LOVED that interview and the interaction with Jack. I just love how she always has a comeback ready, even when she’s star struck.
Because nobody can be that nice all the time, and Hollywood is all about projection not introspection. I feel the same way about Sandra Bullock.
“…Hollywood is all about projection not introspection.” You nailed it!
Sorry, I still have faith in humans. That was really sad to read what you wrote.
Just nothing about her endears her to me. I’m not obligated to like her. I feel her image is carefully created. First she sold herself as the ‘bigger’ anti Hollywood girl that couldn’t dress her way out of a paper bag–just like US! how NORMAL and RELATABLE–then one day she’s perfectly dressed, as skinny as every other actress her age, and posing for dior. after she got everyone thinking she’s a breath of fresh air. I think it’s just successful marketing, and don’t find her genuine at all.
“She’s got spirit” – I love it!
I don’t think Jack was being all that creepy. It was like he was making fun of himself, his notoriety for dating inappropriately aged women, am I the only one who saw that? And Jennifer handled it with awesome wit and charisma.
I’ve been seeing links to this all day, and every time I click on it, I get “this video has been removed”. What am I doing wrong?! I must see this!!! Lol. Anyone else having trouble seeing the video?
There’s still one on youtube, search Jennifer Lawrence Jack Nicholson, and the ABC news clip is still up
Worth seeing, it’s so cute. She’s such a regular girl dropped into an insane world.
It works now! Wow, she is awesome. Good on her feet.
Dirty old man and annoying, average looking girl who is flattered by him. Nuff said.
JLaw is so cool. I’m totally fangirling an actress who is so much younger than any guy I would ever look at. She’s also gorgeous with an impossible figure. Who could possibly say she isn’t?
He’s a creepy pervert with a huge ego. He’s a perfect example of the type of man women in Hollywood and elsewhere should stay away from. He’s single for a reason, he’s spoiled and selfish and no woman could possibly compete with his ego.
Her reaction was cute. She was obviously still on cloud nine after winning. Plus, she hasn’t been entrenched in showbiz long enough to know that an actor’s perv-factor isn’t automatically negated just because he’s considered a Hollywood great. Give her a few more years.
“You look like an old girlfriend of mine.” Gross. Nicholson has a daughter her age!!! He came off as a creeper because it was obvious he wanted to hit on her and used complimenting her performance as a slick little intro. Typical pervy-old-man hunting strategy.
Wow! What is not to like about this girl?? I had such a great laugh after watching this video 🙂 She just seems like an awesome person…
FANGIRL ALERT! 😉
Who else picked out the “awkward” JLaw/AHath moment? It was like Anne was as stiff as an ironingboard and was all “speak to the hand” to Jennifer, cold as ice, so perhaps the rumours that she hates her younger rival are indeed true. Anne – meh, go away you overrated windbag.
LOVE THIS! I really didn’t have an opinion of JLAW before this – I’m a fan. And I don’t get the old pervy man vibe from this – if anything it’s JLAW that pushes it with the funny line about looking like a new girlfried and the he just goest with it. Cute banter, adorable woman, she’s going to be on the hollywood scene for a long time.
I fail to see anything redeeming about Ms Lawrence. Only seeing the clip shown, she does not appear talented nor does she have any beauty.Screaming about sex and throwing objects around a diner – a bit too narcissistic, no depth. Sure she may go far in the highly marketed youth genre until the next shiny object appears.
Okay, finally saw the Jack video and I now love him and JLaw even more!
