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.

This was me, looking through these photos of Jennifer Lawrence at the London premiere of ?mother!?: ?Wow, that?s a different look for her, is it possible that Dior finally did right by their golden girl?? This was me, discovering that the designer ID of the dress: ?Oh, of course I like it. IT?S NOT DIOR. It?s Versace.? I don?t know if Dior refused to send J-Law a dress for the London premiere or if she simply felt like wearing something other than a ?princess dress,? but I?m so glad she changed it up. This Versace looks like something Jennifer Lopez would wear or has already worn, and I mean that as a compliment: at this point in her life, J-Law needs to start leaving those tulle skirts and Cinderella-looking Dior gowns by the wayside. Everyone needs a little J.Lo in their lives.
Jen told Empire Magazine that she threw the script for ?mother!? across the room when she first read it and texted Darren Aronosky, ?There is something seriously wrong with you.? The next day, she texted him again: ?By the way, it?s a masterpiece.? She says now that, ?There was a full 24 hours where everybody thought I had turned it down in a really huge way. But it was like reading poetry or scripture, or Darren?s diaries: excerpts from a f***ed-up mind.? Jen also gave an interview to a British TV show which aired last night. Here?s a clip where Jen talks about pay discrimination and fear of women:
?Why are we so afraid of women??

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lawrence and that cast of ?mother!? at the Venice Film Festival. I?ve been writing it as ?Mother!? but the ?m? really is lowercase on purpose, apparently. Jennifer and her director lover Darren Aronofsky arrived in Venice a few days ago, along with castmates Javier Bardem (bueno) and Michelle Pfeiffer (guapa). First a note about the fashion – at the evening premiere, Jennifer wore this friggin? Dior ballgown which I flat-out HATE. Hate, hate, hate. At this point, J-Law honoring her Dior contract just triggers my gag reflex, because she inevitably gets the most twee, princess-y looks from the house and IT?S NOT WORKING. My kaiserdom for J-Law in a clean, simple Armani. Michelle kept it simple in a Michael Kors, btw.
As for mother! (God that title is annoying), Variety did an in-depth review after screening the film in Venice – go here to read. Some SPOILERS (just skip this paragraph if you don’t want even mild spoilers)…I found the Variety take very interesting, because the reviewer came away with this idea: the central mystery of the horror story is never answered. That mystery? Why Javier Bardem?s character is so hateful to his lovely young wife, played by J-Law. The reviews coming out of Venice are pretty good-to-mixed in general – go here for THR?s review, and here for Vanity Fair?s review. My take, having just skimmed the reviews? This film is not for me. And I find it creepy that J-Law ended up dating a writer-director who ?gave? her this part where she?s repeatedly punished for the crime of… renovating her house.
Here are some pics from the photocall earlier in the day. Jen wore a Giambattista Valli Resort 2018 dress which? should have been floor-length, then it would have been perfect. Whoever did her hair for the photocall did a bang-up job too.

When I was a kid, I was a barfer. I had a hair-trigger gag reflex, and if I felt even a little bit ill, I could barf at will just by thinking about it. Then I grew up. Certain smells still get to me and I?ll gag or dry-heave sometimes, but the last time I actually threw up was? years ago. When I had the Norovirus and I thought I was going to die. Not everyone is the same as me though. Some people never lose that ability to barf at will, just by thinking about it. Jennifer Lawrence is one of those people. J-Law has talked for years about her bodily functions (farting, pooping and her ability to pee anywhere) and she always has barfing stories. She?s a world-class barfer, in that I believe she?s probably barfed in every country she?s ever traveled to. So please enjoy this story about J-Law barfing at a Broadway show:
?The Hunger Games? star Jennifer Lawrence lost her lunch during a performance of Olivia Wilde?s Broadway show, ?1984,? on Monday night ? but it wasn?t the edgy play that made the megastar sick. Page Six has previously reported that theater fans have been regularly fainting and tossing their cookies at the intense Orwellian drama at the Hudson Theatre.
?Sending my love to those 4 people who fainted in the audience,? Wilde even tweeted in May with the disclaimer, ?Warning: this is not your grandma?s Broadway.?
The visceral reactions are apparently thanks in part to the show being ?loud, and people find it shocking,? a theater pro said. ?There is a particularly harrowing scene involving a rat.?
But on Monday night, a source told Page Six: ?Midway through the show, Jennifer Lawrence bolted from her seat. Several people saw her getting sick in the lobby. The ushers were very helpful and courteous in helping her out.? But a friend of Lawrence?s explained that the star?s reaction had nothing to do with the play but rather, ?She caught the stomach flu from her nephews.? The pal added that poor Lawrence is ?really sick.?
[From Page Six]
If Jennifer Lawrence is ?really sick,? then why didn?t she stay home and rest? Why did she go and infect an entire Broadway audience with the flu? And was she trying to make it to the bathroom and she just ended up barfing in the lobby? Yikes, those poor ushers. I can?t imagine already feeling sick but still dragging myself to a Broadway play? a play which is already becoming famous for making people sick. Incidentally, my gag reflex would probably be triggered if I watched a ?harrowing scene involving a rat? too. Why would you pay money to see this play?!?!

Jennifer Lawrence was in the passenger seat of a scary situation on Saturday. The 26-year-old actress, who was in Louisville, Kentucky visiting with family, experienced a harrowing flight on a private plane.
According to E! News, during the flight, which was headed for New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport, one of the plane’s engines failed at 31,000 feet. The pilots were forced to perform an emergency landing and arrived safely in Buffalo, New York. And, if being forced to make an emergency landing wasn’t scary enough, the jet’s second engine failed during the landing. Thankfully, no one was injured.
A spokeswoman for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) told the Buffalo News that the jet, a Beechcraft 400 Beechjet, was diverted to the airport Saturday afternoon. She went on to say that two passengers and crew members were on board the plane, but did not say that Lawrence was among them. The FAA is currently investigating the cause of the engine failure.
What is it with celebrities and private planes? Ever since “the day the music died”, when Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper died in a plane crash, there have been so many other entertainers who lost their lives in small plane crashes. I mean, Jim Croce, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Otis Redding, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Aaliyah…the list goes on. Commercial air travel sucks, but if I were famous, I’d definitely opt for a big plane. Glad everyone’s okay.

I haven?t written about Jennifer Lawrence in two months. And when I did, it was a political-ish story about her reaction to Donald Trump. J-Law has been pretty quiet now for months, ever since she finished promoting Passengers in December. She?s been working in Budapest, and I haven?t missed her at all. In the middle of the awards-season, it actually struck me that this was the first time in years without Jennifer falling all over the place at an awards show. Let me clear: I actually sort of like J-Law and I?m an apologist for her about many things. But she needed to ?go away? for a while and let people miss her.
Something I actually forgot about was the fact that J-Law had started dating Darren Aronofsky last year. They apparently started up late in the summer, and while we haven?t heard much about them in months, they?re still together. They were photographed this week in New York.
