SHAILENE WOODLEY BECAME A HOUSEHOLD NAME FOR NO REASON

SHAILENE WOODLEY and THEO JAMES star in DIVERGENT

Is anybody else out there sick to death of hearing about and seeing Shailene Woodley everywhere you turn? For weeks before Divergent was released, Shailene (whom at first we assumed was some country singer) appeared on every talk show, morning, noon, and night, and she was introduced with Angelina Jolie fanfare before anyone knew who she was. Of course she was also plastered all over magazines, newspapers, and websites. And she was literally unknown. We wondered why she was being shoved down our throats so relentlessly. To make us aware of Divergent, of course. The movie opened to a healthy 56 million box-office, but it was far behind The Hunger Games’ 152.5 million. Shailene seems like a nice girl, but she’s no Jennifer Lawrence. It wasn’t HER fault, but people were turned off by Shailene’s over-exposure – hopefully it won’t dent her career.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE TO STAR IN “EAST OF EDEN” REMAKE

We admit we’re very fond of Jennifer Lawrence, but we just cannot imagine her starring in the Julie Harris role in a remake of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden. A REMAKE OF EAST OF EDEN? It sounds like an awful idea. Elia Kazan’s 1955 classic movie starring James Dean was as good as it gets. And what young actor would dare take the Dean role and risk comparison to an icon? The Hollywood Reporter says the remake is already in the works and the script is being customized for Jennifer. (Above Julie and James in a scene from the movie)

“THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE” PARTY RAINED OUT IN CANNES

“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” cast appeared in Cannes to accelerate anticipation of their movie, but it’s not being screened yet. Producers threw a lavish Hunger Games beach party that got rained out – the first five days of the festival have been soaking wet. Undaunted by the downpour, Jennifer Lawrence looks prettier than ever – she’s pictured with her costars Sam Claflin and Liam Hemsworth (who was at Cannes partying without fiancé Miley Cyrus)

JENNIFER LAWRENCE WELCOMES A LITTLE HELP FROM PHOTOSHOP

It’s nice to know that Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence hasn’t let her ego run away with her yet. When she was first shown these glamorous photos from an ad layout she did for Dior, she gasped and blurted “That doesn’t look like me at all! I LOVE Photoshop more than anything in the world!” She admitted “Of course it’s Photoshop, people don’t LOOK like that!”

JENNIFER LAWRENCE AT SAG AWARDS: NO FASHION MALFUNCTION!

#jenniferlawrence #janetcharlton

It may have LOOKED like Jennifer Lawrence tragically ripped her Christian Dior gown at the SAG Awards, but it was all an optical illusion. When she stood up to claim her Best Actress award, she seemed to catch her skirt on a chair and open up the front seam. Women, including Nicole Kidman, sitting around her gasped. But when she stood onstage the gap had disappeared. It was actually the peekaboo design of the dress that made it APPEAR split, but it never was. Christian Dior’s little trick got a LOT of attention!
