"Jennifer Lawrence Looks Different Without Makeup" Is Not News

You can count on the Huffington Post for the hard-hitting news. They really want us to know the super-important, HIGHLY relevant, breaking information that actress and recent Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence looks different without makeup. OBVIOUSLY she looks different without makeup. (Subtext and implicit message: she looks BAD!) She is, in case you forgot, a real, living, breathing, human woman, not a doll with eyeshadow and lipstick permanently painted on. Of course she looks different when she’s hanging out in sweat pants, not gussied up for the red carpet. You know who else looks different without makeup? EVERY PERSON, EVER. This is not a thing, HuffPo. Looking different without makeup is not worthy of comment, it’s not worthy of news. More »

Jennifer Lawrence Bikini Photo Repartee: "That's Not My Butt"

Best and worst bikini body headlines are a popular trope in tabloid magazines this time of year. Sorry, I meant all the time. For the most part, they just put us through the stages of grief: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. But Jennifer Lawrence has moved past all that; she’s on to humor. On the David Letterman Show last night, she drug out paparazzi photos from a trip she recently took in Hawaii just to clarify: “That’s not my butt.” I’m officially a fan of the Jennifer Lawrence bikini body repartee.

Oh Jennifer Lawrence. You continue to inspire me every single day with your normalness. You’re so healthy and fit and wise and funny. If you ever move to NYC and need a roommate, let me know. Also, if you need me to play a small-to-large role in Catching Fire, also let me know. While I don’t want to pat myself on the back too hard, I do have to mention that several people have told me I look like a Finnick Odair. Just saing. More »

Critics Call Jennifer Lawrence Too Fat For Hunger Games Role; Since When Does Hollywood Care About Realistic Bodies?

Critics Call Jennifer Lawrence Too Fat For Hunger Games Role; Since When Does Hollywood Care About Realistic Bodies?

Manohla Dargis‘ New York Times review of The Hunger Games finally came out and said what many been thinking: As described by author Suzanne Collins, Jennifer Lawrence’s character, Katniss Everdeen, is a pre-teen girl on the brink of starvation; in the movie she doesn’t look emaciated or particularly pre-pubescent…in essence, Lawrence is too fat for her role. The knee-jerk reaction is of course to say that this is body-negative and defend Lawrence’s great body and attitude about her weight. But objectively, it’s true: I’ve read the books, and Lawrence certainly isn’t the Katniss Everdeen I imagined. The critiques aren’t body-negative because they’re unfounded—they’re body-negative because no one bats an eyelash when actresses are too thin or beautiful to be convincing in their roles, but when it’s the other way around, it’s a perfectly good excuse to lay into their looks.

Hunger Games Workouts Are HereâAnd Training Like Jennifer Lawrence Is Surprisingly Smart

If a movie stars a woman who does anything with her body beyond walking and having sex, you can bet it’s going to come with its own workout fad. So shouldn’t be too surprised that Hunger Games Workouts are here. But should you be interested? You probably shouldn’t start a workout routine with the hopes of looking like Jennifer Lawrence (because as legions of women will tell you, no workout will transform you into your favorite celebrity), but as movie-inspired workout trends go, I’d say this is a hell of a lot better than the whole Black Swan weight loss fad that started last year.
