Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky announced their split in a low-key sort of way last week. I tend to believe that their breakup wasn?t some epic drama, and I believe that they probably broke up a month ago or so, soon after they finished promoting ?mother!?. It wasn?t like the Brangelina split – there were no ride-or-die Jarren/Darrifer fans. Most Jen fans kind of thought she could do better than him, honestly. But both In Touch Weekly and People Magazine have stories this week about what really happened between them, because I guess we need some added drama with this breakup.
In Touch magazine has exclusively learned the reasons behind Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky?s split.
?Darren [Aronofsky] was the one who pulled the plug on their relationship,? an insider tells In Touch, adding that the Oscar winner, 27, who had been dating the 48-year-old director for more than a year, is heartbroken.
?Jennifer thought she was going to marry Darren,? says the insider, adding that the two even spoke about spending the rest of their lives together.
But there was one thing the pair, who worked together on this year?s Mother!, just couldn?t agree on. ?Jennifer eventually wants kids and has been talking about taking a break from Hollywood,? says the insider. But Darren, who is already dad to Henry, 11, with actress Rachel Weisz, 47, wasn?t sure about having more kids, says the insider.
So even though they ?were super compatible, laughed a lot and respected each other,? says the insider, ?at the end of the day, they wanted different things.?
[From In Touch Weekly]
Eh, I can believe that, that Jennifer would have settled down and might even want to be with someone who wants to have a baby with her, and Aronofsky was like ?I?m not that guy.? People Magazine says it was mostly the age difference:
Jennifer Lawrence and director Darren Aronofsky got together while filming mother!, but two months after the movie?s September release, the couple of one year broke up.
?Once they are onto new projects and interests, it?s harder to keep up relationships of any kind,? a show business source tells PEOPLE in this week?s issue. ?They were never destined for marriage. They had fun, shared many beliefs, and enjoyed what they could learn from each other.?
A source close to the pair suggests the age difference between the Oscar winner, 26, and the producer-director, 48, played a key role in the split.
?There is a huge age difference, and they are different people,? the insider says. ?Each has to look practically to the future. Jen has yet to figure out her life and how it will evolve. He has responsibilities in life that she has yet to experience.?
?Each was infatuated with the other. She was attracted to his brilliance and education, and he was in awe of her talent and personality,? the source adds. ?They have amazing respect for each other given the huge age gap, but other things were not on the same level.? The pal continues, ?Although they are both kind of kooky and unusual, he is quieter while she speaks from the hip and loves to astonish.?
?They are both workhorses but personally different,? the source says. ?It was fun while it lasted.?
[From People]
?She was attracted to his brilliance and education?? Ugh. That just says to me that he was probably patronizing as f–k to her because she doesn?t have a college degree. Maybe I?m reading too much into it. In any case, they?re over and whatever, no one really cares that much. We?re too busy daydreaming about who she should date next.

I updated the Jennifer Lawrence story on Wednesday to include this break-up information, but it?s worth a separate post too. Jennifer and Darren Aronofsky have broken up! They were together for about a year and a half. In interviews, Jennifer claimed that they started up after ?mother!? completed filming, but I remember there were a lot of rumors about them before then too. The general ?rule? of celebrity couples is that you stay together through the Oscar season, then quietly announce your split in March. So this is odd, right? Despite the poor performance (overall) of ?mother!? Jennifer is still waging an Oscar campaign, and she just split with her director, the same guy she was praising to high heaven in interview after interview.
Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky have called it quits, ET has exclusively learned from multiple sources. The former couple dated for roughly one year after working together on the 2017 film Mother!, directed by Aronofsky.
A source says the breakup happened last month. It was an amicable split and they remain friends.
Another source tells ET the pair?s last public sighting was at the Governors Awards in LA on Nov. 11 and although the two were already broken up, they sat together and were friendly. It?s not awkward, the source adds.
[From Entertainment Tonight]
I actually have my fingers crossed that Jennifer dumped him because she had a moment of clarity: oh, right, I?m 27 years old, I?m America?s Farty Sweetheart, and I?m dating a 48-year-old dude who was abusive to me as an actress. Enough of this! As much as I?d like Jennifer to get back together with Nicholas Hoult, I suspect they?ve both moved passed each other. So who should Jennifer date now? You know whoever it is, we?re probably not going to like him. Oh, I hear Chris Pratt is single! (God I really hope that doesn?t happen.)

It?s still amusing to me that Jennifer Lawrence is just openly campaigning for Best Actress this Oscar season. She really wants – and perhaps expects – an Oscar nomination for ?mother!?, a film which bombed at the box office and was critically savaged as one of the dumbest biblical allegories ever. Still, J-Law is right to campaign – she is beloved by the Academy, and she?s proven time and time again that she can get nominated for sub-par performances. Note: I?m not saying she?s a bad actress, I?m saying that she hasn?t deserved Oscar nominations for a few particular performances, like American Hustle. Anyway, J-Law sat down with The Hollywood Reporter?s Awards Chatter podcast and she talked about the nature of celebrity, her hacked nude photos, Harvey Weinstein and more. Some highlights:
She considers David O. Russell her artistic soulmate. “David, still to this day, is the most important relationship in my life, I think. We can be so deeply, deeply honest with each other, in a way that creates amazing art.”
She thinks she was miscast in Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle and Joy: “I’m obviously too young for all three.?
The 2014 Cloud hack: “When the hacking thing happened, it was so unbelievably violating that you can’t even put it into words. I think that I’m still actually processing it. When I first found out it was happening, my security reached out to me. It was happening minute-to-minute ? it was almost like a ransom situation where they were releasing new ones every hour or so. And, I don’t know, I feel like I got gang-banged by the f–king planet ? like, there’s not one person in the world that is not capable of seeing these intimate photos of me. You can just be at a barbecue and somebody can just pull them up on their phone. That was a really impossible thing to process.”
Why she didn?t sue: “A lot of women were affected, and a lot of them reached out to me about suing Apple or suing [others] ? and none of that was gonna really bring me peace, none of that was gonna bring my nude body back to me and Nic [Lawrence's former boyfriend Nicholas Hoult], the person that they were intended for. It wasn’t gonna bring any of that back. So I wasn’t interested in suing everybody; I was just interested in healing. I think, like, a year and a half ago, somebody said something to me about how I was ‘a good role model for girls,’ and I had to go into the bathroom and sob because I felt like an imposter ? I felt like, ‘I can’t believe somebody still feels that way after what happened.’ It’s so many different things to process when you’ve been violated like that.”
On Harvey Weinstein: “I had heard that he was a dog. But he was always almost paternal to me. He was never inappropriate with me. I thought that we had a nice relationship where, when he acted like an a–hole, I called him an a–hole ? I actually think the word I used was ‘a sadistic monster’ ? but it was just never of that nature, so that was really shocking.”
Whether she has ever been sexually abused: ?I had been objectified, I had been, you know, obviously, not paid equally, I had been violated by a hacker, but I have never had a man use his power to sexually abuse me.”
How she ended up dating Darren Aronofsky: “I had a crush on him when he pitched to me and that was like a year before we started rehearsing, but he was a professional, which only made it worse for me. So we just kind of formed a friendship. He knew how I felt, he never told me how he felt ? I mean, I assumed ? but we just formed a friendship, and then the friendship turned into a partnership for the movie once we started working, and then, when the movie was done, I was like, ‘Alright, you’re my boyfriend!’ And he was like, ‘Alright, I’m your boyfriend.’”
[From THR]
The Harvey Weinstein stuff is so…disgusting, and yet I am still horrifyingly fascinated by the victimology, how he chose victims, and who he chose. I believe her when she says he was ?almost paternal? towards her and that she had no idea of the extent of his crimes, but I’ll always wonder how she managed to avoid his predatory intentions. As for what she says about David O. Russell? no. Just no. I don’t think DOR is a Weinstein-level predator, but the guy has issues and he is well-known for being abusive to below-the-line workers and actors. She needs to be exposed to better directors. And Darren Aronofsky? ugh.

The Governors Awards were held this past weekend in LA. The Governors Awards have become quite a nice event, and they get bigger and bigger every year. They?re not televised, and reportedly the vibe is much more relaxed and quiet because of it. This awards show is for the more low-key Oscar winners of the year, where they give away the pre-announced honorary lifetime achievement and special achievement Oscars to worthy people. This year?s honorary Oscar winners included Donald Sutherland, director Charles Burnett, cinematographer Owen Roizman, director Agnes Varda and Alejandro Inarritu (for his virtual reality art installation). You can read more about this year?s Governors Awards here.
So many young and fashionable ladies came out for the Governors Awards this year, it sort of surprised me. Many of these women have potential Oscar campaigns, and this is an event full of Oscar voters, so of course they wanted to come out and shake hands and be ?seen.? Did you realize that Jennifer Lawrence is campaigning for an Oscar for ?mother!?? She is. She came to this event with Darren Aronofsky (UGH) and she wore this absurd Alexander McQueen. I think this McQueen would have been fine at the Golden Globes or the Met Gala, but at this event, it was totally overkill.
Here?s Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton. I HATE THIS. It looks like she repurposed an old safari jacket.
Salma Hayek in? what is this? McQueen? Is it wrong that I don?t hate this? I really don?t hate this at all. I actually like it a lot.
Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton. LV never does right by her. Ever.
Margot Robbie in Louis Vuitton. I guess LV decided to give their only good dress to Margot. I still want to rip off that stupid bow on her stomach though.
Diane Kruger in Givenchy. Poor Diane, the ruffle monster attacked her.
Tessa Thompson, wearing Altuzarra and baby bangs. I love her, and I hate everything about this. This dress is wrong on her completely, and the baby bangs are LITERALLY THE WORST.

Last night, Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky attended a MoMA screening of their film, ?mother!?. I?m including a blurry photo of them inside the event, because the event included a giant Oscar statue, which means that this screening was, like, for Oscar voters. As in, even though most people think the film was terrible and it bombed at the box office, Aronofsky is still pushing for an Oscar campaign. Considering how much the Academy loves J-Law, maybe that?s not the worst plan, although I would say that right now, as the race stands, J-Law is not getting an Oscar nomination. Maybe a Golden Globe nom. But not an Oscar nom.
Anyway, the screening also involved a Q&A session with Aronofsky and J-Law. Considering Aronofsky had just unloaded to The Frame about how HE IS A PUNK ARTISTE and no one understands his HIGH ART because he is so deep and intellectual, I?m actually surprised he didn?t go off in the same direction at the session. Instead, J-Law was asked about ?F? CinemaScore, the bad reviews and the general critical eyeroll this film received. Her response? She flipped the bird.

Do you feel sorry for Jennifer Lawrence whatsoever? When ?mother!? bombed this weekend, I?ll admit, I felt a sense of gleeful schadenfreude. It wasn?t personal, and it wasn?t against J-Law in particular, it was more like ?that sounded like such a stupid movie, it deserved to fail.? But! I just read a piece about how the Deplorables were, like, taking out a MAGA fatwa against J-Law and they all decided to ?boycott? the film and now they?re taking credit for the box office failure. So that makes me feel sorry for J-Law a little bit, that stupid people are boycotting her for being a progressive woman in this world.
As if my emotions weren?t scattered enough, I also read this new interview with Jennifer and now I kind of hate her. I mean, I like J-Law for the most part but I?m not a super-fan and I can fully admit that she often comes across as a tone-deaf, entitled a–hole, like the time she gleefully recounted how she destroyed a sacred site by scratching her ass on some rocks. In this new EW piece, she talked about her flying anxiety and man, does she sound like a total pill. Some highlights from EW:
On Darren Aronofsky: ?I think he?s the bravest, certainly the most controversial director of our time?.I got it immediately but that was because before he had sent me the script he had come to me and told me these ideas that he had for an allegory and the metaphors he wanted to work with. I was in. It was the most unique sounding movie I?d ever heard, and incredibly brave. I feel like there?s different schools of thought on this movie. Some think: don?t tell anyone anything, let them figure it out on their own. I feel like it?s better to know and understand the metaphor and allegories because then you know what you are looking at. I?ve been spilling the themes and metaphors all over town!
On fear & anxiety: ?There?s one scene that nobody should ever feel. And that?s what I said to Darren when he wanted to do it again. I was in the medical unit with oxygen up my nose and he?s like, ?It was out of focus, we gotta do it again.? I was like, you are making me go to a place that you have never been. I just wanted to get out and finish it. It?s scary not being able to control yourself ? I?ve recently had problems with plane anxiety and it?s really similar. I?m not afraid of the airplane, I?m afraid of me on the airplane and losing control of myself.
On the worry that you?ll get up mid-flight and scream, ?We?re all going down!?: ?I?ve done that. [Laughs] You know when they hit an air pocket and it feels like you?re falling? I did it on a night flight one time: ?We?re going down! It?s coming down!? [EW: Can?t you get arrested for doing that?] Can you? I tried to jump out of an Air France flight once. I can?t believe I didn?t get arrested. I got really claustrophobic and I had to get out.
[From EW]
?Can you? I tried to jump out of an Air France flight once. I can?t believe I didn?t get arrested.? Ah, to be young, attractive and white. Imagine Michael B. Jordan gleefully telling a story about how he screamed ?WE?RE ALL GOING DOWN? mid-flight. Imagine Riz Ahmed telling a story about how he tried to jump out of plane mid-flight. Imagine how those stories would end: ?…and then I got arrested and spent the next five months in a windowless holding cell, awaiting terrorism charges.? Note to J-Law: stop telling these stories. They?re not coming across as relatable and ?real.? They?re coming across as crass, tone-deaf white privilege.

There are a few Jennifer Lawrence stories rattling around the interwebs this week, so let?s get to it. Jennifer is still promoting ?mother!? which comes out on Friday. Considering how well horror movies are doing at the box office this year, I think the film will probably make a lot of money, because even if people don?t know what?s happening, they?ll enjoy it as a mindf–k. Of course, I?m sure there are some people – DEPLORABLES – who honestly believe that Jennifer said that Trump controls hurricanes and those people will refuse to see the film. To that, Jennifer wrote a little Facebook post:
My remarks were taken grossly out of context. Obviously I never claimed that President Trump was responsible for these tragic hurricanes. That is a silly and preposterous headline that is unfortunate, because it detracts from the millions of lives that are being impacted by these devastating storms and the recent earthquake. What is really important is focusing on the ways we can help. My heart is with everyone affected and the brave first responders who are working to keep us all safe. Please join me in donating to:
United Way of Houston https://www.unitedwayhouston.org
Save The Children www.savethechildren.org
Americares https://www.americares.org
[From J-Law?s Facebook]
That?s pretty much the right way to handle it. I would have also said ?the people trying to make this into a thing are utter morons,? but whatever. As for ?mother!? – people have been talking about whether the Academy would embrace this film as a potential Oscar-bait movie, and whether Jennifer could end up with another Oscar nomination. Vulture did a piece about that, and suggests that the material could be too dark for Academy voters, but here?s what I say: one, Jennifer is a perennial Oscar favorite and the Academy adores her and two, Natalie Portman ended up winning an Oscar for Black Swan, so of course Jennifer has a chance. A good chance.
Meanwhile, Aronofsky and Lawrence chatted with Variety about feminism and such:
Jennifer believes this is a feminist story: ?To me, this is incredibly feminist in the way that these Victorian, patriarchal novels show these loving, amazing husbands that are very slowly and delicately taking away their wives? dignity,? said Lawrence, who was reading ?Jane Eyre? during the shoot. ?To be a feminist movie, we don?t have to all be women and all be aggressive. Before we knew what feminism was, people were writing these novels that showed women?s strength being drained from them.?
She went through hell working on this movie: ?I had trouble calming down and coming back after he called cut. I?ve always been fine snapping out of it, but I?ve never had to go this dark before. I kind of lost control of myself. I tore my diaphragm and popped my chest rib out. I don?t know if I?d ever work with Darren again.?
Aronofsky on the interpretations of the film: ?I think what?s exciting about the movie is that it?s open for interpretation. I wrote it in the eighth year of Obama. It?s coming out in the first year of Trump. My intention was very different from where we are now.?
[From Variety]
The idea that this is a feminist film? well, I don?t know. Like, I understand the comparison to Jane Eyre, because it?s a book with a female protagonist, written by a woman, in those oppressive Victorian times. But does it make a difference when the female protagonist is written by a man, the story is directed by a man, and the film seems to be about men doing a huge gaslighting campaign on a woman? Hm.

Another. Frigging. Ballgown. ENOUGH. Here are some photos of Jennifer Lawrence at the New York premiere of ?mother!? last night. This was actually the first time J-Law posed one-on-one with her director boyfriend Darren Aronofsky, so enjoy. After experimenting with some Kardashian-esque styles in Europe, Jennifer came back to Dior, and the Dior default: tulle ballgowns, for every f–king event. It?s not that I dislike tulle. It?s not that I dislike ballgowns. I?m actually okay with both, but not for every event! Not as the default for every one of Jennifer?s appearances. Dior?s got Jennifer running around looking like a wannabe ballerina with a princess fetish on every red carpet now.
Anyway, Jennifer chatted with Catt Sadler of E! News this week, and Jen revealed that she?s not going to be getting pregnant anytime soon, because she?s increasingly like ?ick, babies.?
Whether she?s feeling the pangs of motherhood at the age of 27: “Not at all. They are actually getting less and less as I get older, which is starting to worry me. I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work! When I was 21 or 22 I was like, ‘I can’t wait to be a mother. Now I’m like…[shocked face].”
The genius of Aronofsky: “I believed in the metaphor and the message that Darren wanted to get across. When I first read the script I thought it’s too dark. I didn’t even want the script in my house and then I realized that’s why he’s a genius. That’s why I have always wanted to work with him. He’s unafraid. He’s bold and I do agree with the message.”
On fame: “Now I have an understanding. I have a patience with [fame]. But also I get time off from it. At first it was really overwhelming and I thought, ‘Is this going to be the rest of my life?’ When I am releasing a movie and it’s really heavy and really intense and I just know that it will die down. People really stop caring pretty quickly.”
[From E! News]
I don?t have much to say here – I?ve been worried that Jennifer would end up pregnant with an Aronofsky baby but here?s hoping that she?s got great birth control. I think it?s easy to romanticize ?babies and motherhood? when you?re 21-22, and then as you get closer to 30, you?re like ?holy crap, I can barely take care of myself, much less a small human.? That?s what?s happening here, and it?s fine. People are allowed to have mixed feelings about babies. Not every woman has to be baby-crazy and broody.

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem and Darren Aronofsky at the TIFF premiere of ?mother!?. This has been a whirlwind promotion, probably because it comes out on Friday. It used to be the case that a September release meant that a movie didn?t have much Oscar potential, but in this brave new world of Oscar campaigning, many of the films which go on to win Oscars are first released in September and October. I?m just saying? don?t be surprised if ?mother!? has a lot of money behind it for an Oscar campaign.
As for the premiere photos…I think Jennifer has a new hair stylist traveling with her, and the hair stylist is mostly good. For many of J-Law?s appearances in the past week, I?ve remarked on how her hair is looking great. I?m sure she has some extensions in there, but much of it her own hair and it?s working out. The dress is Dolce & Gabbana and it?s BAD. It?s a dress made up of about seven ?okay? design ideas all jammed together in one dress. It makes no sense.
Meanwhile, I?m still side-eyeing the crap out of Jennifer?s relationship with Darren Aronofsky. They are as big a cliche as can be – the controlling older man and the naive young actress, the domineering bully who uses his power, his authority and his intelligence to control her. Just my opinion. This is what she said about him at TIFF:
Jennifer Lawrence says Darren Aronofsky, her mother! director and boyfriend of a year, is ?bold and brave??and maybe a little twisted. The actress, 27, joined the director, 48, for a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival Sunday, where they discussed their upcoming horror thriller. And while Lawrence was instantly on board when she was offered the role, she joked that the script made her question Aronofsky?s sanity.
?It was an instant yes before I even read anything,? the Oscar winner said of joining the film. ?He told me his ideas and I thought they were brilliant and unique and challenging. I?ve been a fan of his for years ? I think he?s bold and brave, and I think I said brilliant. But I?ve been a fan, so once he told me the ideas floating around in his head I said yes. Then I got a script and when I read it I threw it across the room and told him he had severe psychological problems. But it?s a masterpiece.?
[From People]
Yes, how did they ever end up together? He wrote a role for her and she wouldn?t stop telling him that he was so brilliant. If you wrote this relationship as a script, the script wouldn?t be made because it?s such a f-cking cliche.

Here are some photos from the Paris premiere of ?mother!? Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky were seemingly the only people from the film in Paris to promote the film – Javier Bardem had to stay behind in Venice to promote another film, and I guess Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer won?t be doing a ton of stuff to promote the film at all (to be fair, Ed Harris has done nothing so far). So, what we?re getting is another J-Law fashion show. I enjoyed her J.Lo-esque Versace number in London, mostly because I hoped it was a signal that she wasn?t going to wear endless Dior pieces. But of course she went with Dior for the Paris premiere. Even though it?s sort of bland, I do like this gown. It?s pretty. It feels like it?s a little bit wasted on a low-key Paris premiere though – this would have been a good gown to give to a TV star for the Emmys next weekend.
Meanwhile, as we?ve been discussing for a few months, it does seem like J-Law has a thing for somewhat abusive directors. In her Vogue interview, Jen said that Darren Aronofsky made her keep filming even after she tore her diaphragm. There are stories circulating that he bullied her constantly during filming too. So what does Aronofsky have to say about it? From his Guardian interview:
On the reports that he likes to ?break down? his actors: ?No, no. It?s not about breaking them down. They break themselves down. They?re game. Actors? Sometimes they forget, but I think the original reason they started acting was to be able to cry in front of class. Sometimes they forget that, when they become big action movie stars, because that?s more about modelling than acting. But they love it, really. So I?m always looking for actors who want to roll up their sleeves and let loose and just cry. Javier?s not afraid of crying; he?ll do anything. Jennifer, completely the same. She?s still very young; not jaded in the least. And, yeah, she was scared on this movie, because she knew she was going to have to go for some big emotions.?
Jennifer tore her diaphragm: ?Yeah, she ended up tearing her diaphragm. She was hyperventilating. Because of the emotion.? Is it true that he then immediately ordered her to do the whole scene again? The director snorts. ?Well, yeah. Pull it together. That?s very British, right? Come on, let?s go.? And how was Lawrence with such behaviour? Did she tolerate it? ?No, no,? he says, apparently worried I?m getting the wrong end of the stick. ?I mean, we gave her time to recover. The thing is that she?d been thinking about that scene way too long, and it got all up in her head. So then the emotions flooded her and I saw what was happening ? because I?m experienced ? and was able to get the camera in the right place. The shot was originally on her back and I flipped the whole thing, let her recover and then said, ?Get the camera on her face, right now?, because that?s the kind of emotion that you never, ever see.?
[From The Guardian]
Basically he?s saying that when his lead actress hurt herself because she was so consumed by getting the performance right, his first concern was flipping the camera around to film her in pain and make sure that he captured her true distress. I really don?t understand directors like this, and yes, I know that many brilliant directors treat their actors this way. Stanley Kubrick did it too – driving his actors to madness with endless takes, wanting to see ?real? emotion and pain instead of ?acted? emotion and pain. It just? sucks. It sucks that Jennifer is dating Aronofsky.
