A few months ago, Jennifer Lawrence neared a $20 million deal to star in Passengers. The film is a space drama, which is the worst news about this project. There have been several similar films in past years, and Matt Damon’s The Martian looks pretty epic. Do we need another space drama?
Sony was hesitant about that aspect and also about JLaw’s salary, but after the Sony hack revealed her sketchy American Hustle salary, the studio will probably pay up. JLaw would have a smaller role than her male co-star, Chris Pratt (who would make $12 million). Now that Jurassic World hit a home run, Sony has greenlighted the project. Deadline tried to sound cautious about the story, but Hollywood Reporter confirms the project will happen:
Pratt’s fee has jumped from $10 million to $12 million while Lawrence is getting an exceptional $20 million against 30 percent of the profit after the movie breaks even, say sources.
Hollywood?s two hottest stars are teaming for a new movie set in outer space — but only after quite a bit of behind-the-scenes drama could have taken it out of Sony?s orbit.
Sony Pictures? new motion picture chairman Tom Rothman has greenlighted Passengers, a big-budget romantic sci-fi drama starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt with Oscar nominee Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) set to direct. And thanks to a deal that tied his remuneration to the success of Jurassic World, which broke box-office records with a $524.1 million global opening over the June 12 weekend, Pratt?s fee has jumped from $10 million to $12 million.
Lawrence, an Oscar winner and considered a top star, is getting an exceptional $20 million against 30 percent of the profit after the movie breaks even, say sources. Sony declined to comment.
Whatever the famously fiscally prudent Rothman?s misgivings might have been about paying such big bucks to talent or risking $150 million on an original script that has floated around Hollywood for years, he now finds himself in possession of a two-hander star vehicle with the most in-demand male and female actors in the business.

It’s funny how Hollywood balks at the idea of “an original script.” They’d rather have a proven franchise on their hands, obviously. This film could sink or swim. Even with plenty of star power and talent, sometimes a project doesn’t work for audiences. Remember how everyone thought Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie would be electric together in The Tourist? I hope this project isn’t a giant disaster for JLaw and Pratt. If it is, he’d probably be forgiven before she would. That’s how showbiz works.
P.S. Pratt did a Nerdist podcast and said he’s glad to be a late acting bloomer: “It?s a good thing I wasn?t famous when I was young because I was doing things that would?ve ruined people?s perception of me.”

One of the earlier Sony hack leaks dropped the news that Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams were both paid less than their male American Hustle co-stars. Amy’s role in the movie was large, and much of the film’s promotional material revolved around JLaw. Yet Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner all received larger backend deals. At the time, Bale was the only male with a proven box-office record. Cooper has since proven he can draw audiences with American Sniper, but Renner has never pulled off a financially successful movie on his own. He’s always an ensemble player (and a douchey one too). Why would even Renner make more than the ladies?
We know the answer to that question. Hollywood (and society) often hands men higher paychecks for doing the same job as their women counterparts. JLaw has had enough, and she’s pulling a Charlize Theron. Hollywood Reporter reports that Jennifer agreed to star in a space drama/romance, Passengers, when Amy Pascal was in charge at Sony. The deal is still awaiting the final greenlight, and it sounds like this HR piece is an orchestrated push. The film would hand $20 million to JLaw and $10 milion to her co-star, Chris Pratt. Sony is starting to hesitate on Jennifer’s salary because this movie isn’t part of a franchise, but JLaw’s team put their foot down. She’ll get that salary, or she’ll walk:
If a person were to try to design a movie project that could simultaneously attract and repel a fiscally prudent studio executive like Sony Pictures’ new film chief Tom Rothman, it might be the space drama Passengers.
Rothman found Passengers awaiting his green light when he replaced Amy Pascal in the top job at the studio in late February. And while the project has obvious attractions — with red-hot Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt set to star in the interstellar love story and Morten Tyldum, who scored an Oscar nomination for directing The Imitation Game, on board — it hardly is an obvious yes: talent getting top dollar for an original idea with special effects that Rothman is said to see as a marketing challenge and that doesn’t appear to have franchise potential. Not necessarily an easy call for an executive expected to bring restraint to a studio that, under Pascal, long was known for its generosity to talent.
Before Rothman, 60, officially took over, Sony already had agreed to pay Lawrence $20 million to star, though her role actually is somewhat secondary to Pratt’s. His deal gives him about $10 million with the possibility (likelihood) of more based on the performance of Universal’s Jurassic World reboot. With its two huge stars, Passengers is important to Sony “because it has a hook; it’s marketable internationally,” argues one source close to the project, and the studio doesn’t have a lot of branded intellectual property in its cupboard.
Lawrence, 24, and her CAA reps are said to have held firm to the $20 million fee. Sources say Lawrence was prepared to walk away from Passengers if she didn’t get to $20 million on this film, and Tyldum was ready to exit with her. [Amy] Pascal herself might have fanned the flames with her February interview in which she was asked about the Lawrence pay gap. “The truth is that what women have to do is not work for less money,” Pascal said. “They have to walk away. People shouldn’t be so grateful for jobs.”
[From Hollywood Reporter]
Sony needs to get it together on this film. Space movies are usually big moneymakers, and the final budget would be $80 million. Jennifer has an Oscar and a built-in audience who follows her to nearly any film (except Serena, ha), and Pratt is getting there too. HuffPo notes that “the Sony hack proved to be a blessing in disguise for Lawrence.” We’ll see. I hope Sony makes good on this deal. JLaw would join the likes of Angelina Jolie, RDJ, Denzel Washington, and Matt Damon in the salary department. Make it so!

Jennifer Lawrence wore Dior to co-host the Met Gala last night. At this point, I feel like Dior is playing JLaw hard. They usually put her in their worst designs, and she probably knows it. This relationship is strictly one of convenience for her. Jennifer doesn’t like to be bothered with styling decisions, which is fine. She’s not a fashion girl, and the industry treats her like one. Last night’s selection tried to fit the theme with a floral top stacked on top of a plain black skirt. The runway version had a shorter skirt that was pretty cute. They fancied-up the outfit for a gala, which translated into a matronly effect. The bib is perplexing. JLaw has new hair extensions now, and her spray tan has faded a bit, but her makeup is too cutesy.
Olivia Munn‘s J.Mendel gown had a weird ombre effect that reminded me of a Rocket Pop. With the halter neck and belly cutout, this dress is one big miss.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley‘s body never stops. This Versace gown impeccably fits her figure. She looks gorgeous, especially from the back. A bolder color would have been more fun though.
Uma Thurman decided to wear a Grecian toga-inspired white Versace gown. The one-sleeved detail is confusing and possibly an attempt to fit the theme.
Hannah Davis wore a strappy J. Mendel dress that’s notable for color only. SI: Swim models rarely make a splash at the Met gala. She accessorized with Derek Jeter.
Karlie Kloss didn’t dress for the event. Her black Versace is serviceable but nothing special.

She?s serving as a celebrity co-chair and Jennifer Lawrence certainly dressed to impress for the 2015 Met Gala tonight (May 4).
The ?Hunger Games: Catching Fire? cutie looked to be thoroughly enjoying herself as she chatted up a storm with her fellow famous peers while meandering around outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Every year the Met Gala provides the operating budget for the Costume Institute and since 1999, Anna Wintour has headed up the event, raising more than $145 million. Tickets run $25,000 each or $175,000 for a table of 10.

| | Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Martin spent a romantic Easter holiday in NYC | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Chris Martin spends his whole life surrounded by women. I still don’t get it. The last we heard about him and Jennifer Lawrence, they split a dessert in January. He spent Valentine’s Day with Goop. He hung out last month on a beach with Kate Hudson. And last week, he went to Mexico for a spring break holiday with Goop and their children. I assumed he and JLaw were done, not so much because of the Goop stuff. I’d feel weird if a boyfriend was hanging out with a newly single, bikini-clad Kate.
Martin Lawrence is still together and loving it. The above photo shows Jennifer heading to a private jet out of Boston (Bobby DeNiro was also there). They flew to Boston, where she met up with Chris in New Jersey. The Mail has photos of them at Teterboro Airport where they caught another private jet (that’s what the Mail says) to NYC. Here are the details about their romantic Central Park date from Page Six:
Jennifer Lawrence had a romantic date with Chris Martin at Central Park?s Tavern on the Green Saturday before taking a stroll through Strawberry Fields.
One spy told us, “Jennifer arrived first and waited in her car for a bit, then went to the table and sat with her bodyguard until Chris arrived.
“They had a quick lunch: She ate a roast beef sandwich, and he had eggs Benedict. Their table faced the courtyard, and people ran outside to take pics of them, but the bodyguard put a stop to that.”
An onlooker told us, “They were talking softly to each other throughout the meal. As they left, she changed shoes and her sweater, and she was overheard telling him she wanted to take a walk through Strawberry Fields, and they left holding hands.”
Oscar winner Lawrence, 24, and Martin, 38, were reunited just after he returned from a vacation with his kids and ex Gwyneth Paltrow in Mexico, a year after Paltrow announced their “conscious uncoupling.”
Sources say while Paltrow and Martin are continuing with their divorce, they have remained on friendly terms.

She ate roast beef, and he opted for eggs benedict. Now that’s the kind of detail I’m looking for in a Jennifer Lawrence story. The Strawberry Fields walk sounds romantic too, but it’s hard for me to picture JLaw “talking softly” on any occasion.
I guess Martin Lawrence is solid, and no matter what we see Chris do, they’ll probably stay together unless something big happens. TMZ says Goop and Chris are still working out their divorce terms by “working regularly with a private mediator to hash out the terms of their divorce.” People adds some details about this weekend: “They see each other when they can, yet each continues to do their own thing. Both have full plates, and they like it that way.” Honestly, I think this type of relationship is ideal for two in-demand artists. I just don’t understand why JLaw’s wasting the opportunity on Chris Martin.

With so many amazing film offers on the table, Jennifer Lawrence is looking to wrap up her residency at the ?X-Men? fanchise.
During an interview with MTV News, the ?American Hustle? hottie explained that she?s done playing Mystique after ?X-Men: Apocalypse.? ?It?s my last one, actually,? she declared.
Meanwhile, J-Law premiered her brand new movie ?Serena? with Bradley Cooper over the weekend in New York City. She joked that she ?forced? Cooper to take the gig- ?I mean, any male role is going to make me think of Bradley because in my opinion, he?s the best, and I love working with him.?

Here are photos of Jennifer Lawrence outside the NYC screening of Serena. She wore a Dior couture mini-dress with side cutouts. I like the sparkly, striped top and the shape of the skirt, but the skirt’s fabric is fussy and fug. JLaw switched outfits for the afterparty, where she wore a black Helmut Lang dress that looked like a drawstring nightie. Her makeup looks nice, and her hair is growing out. This is also a rare public appearance. Jennifer skipped Paris fashion week for her Joy duties in Boston. I hope there haven’t been any more David O. Russell screaming matches, but he’s probably watching his mouth for now.
I have no idea why Magnolia Pictures held a Serena screening. The film’s already available on VOD and earned a dismal 24% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The studio trotted JLaw and Bradley Cooper out for this event anyway. This is their third movie together (and Joy will be their fourth), so Us Weekly asked the duo about their chemistry:
“Honestly, it’s just happenstance,” Cooper said of working so often with Lawrence. “We both got cast in Silver Linings, and she was going to this other movie and the role was open and so that worked out.”
The party took place at the Top of the Standard where guests sipped Belvedere cocktails — named Mountain Moonshine and Pemberton’s Punch, in keeping with the plot of the film.
After their chemistry in Silver Linings Playbook proved to be potent — the film earned Cooper an Oscar nomination and Lawrence a win — they decided to keep it up.
“I respect her so much as a professional, as an actor, and I think she’s the best there is,” the newly single actor said. “I just learn from her. You always want to work with people who are better than you.”
“And I feel the same way about him,” Lawrence added. And though they both cop to being each other’s work spouses, the Dior spokesmodel assured Us that there is “no sex!” in their relationship.
[From Us Weekly]
I doubt there’s ever been any romantic feelings between these two, but since Bradley just broke up with Suki Waterhouse, those old rumors will probably start up again. Is JLaw still with Chris Martin? Who knows. Bradley really likes being in a relationship because he’s very conscious about dating gossip. Now that we know BCoop doesn’t mind going young, he can’t use his fatherly excuse anymore. And he can’t joke about JLaw’s crotch without people drawing conclusions. So I expect Bradley to find a new girlfriend soon. Because with grins like these, gossip is bound to happen.

Braving the Boston snow, Jennifer Lawrence stepped out to take her cute pooch, Pippi, for a brisk winter walk.
The 24-year-old actress bundled up in a pair of foral-printed pants, a black parka and fur-lined snow boots. Without a stitch of makeup on, she displayed her flawless complexion and sported a pair of hipster glasses.
The ?Hunger Games? star is in the snowy city to film her upcoming drama, ?Joy,? with Robert DeNiro and Bradley Cooper. According to a recent statement from 20th Century Fox, ??Joy? is the emotionally compelling and often comedic journey of a woman who triumphed over personal and financial challenges by inventing the ?Miracle Mop,? which she sold on QVC and went on to become a hugely successful entrepreneur.?
