Jennifer Lawrence Has 'Technique,' Says 'X-Men' Director (And Smokin' New GQ Photos)

Jennifer Lawrence scored an Oscar nominee at age 20 for her can't-tear-your-eyes-away performance in indie darling 'Winter's Bone.' She's also set to appear in 'X-Men: First Class' as nude blue person Mystique and, as GQ wryly puts it, will soon give us "a reason to see a Mel Gibson film" with 'The Beaver.'

Now the Kentucky-born fox can add a full-on GQ magazine spread to her list of accomplishments.

"There are a lot of young American actors right now who haven't got any technique," 'X-Men' prequel director Matthew Vaughn tells GQ. "And to be blunt, a lot of these kids assume that just by having a good set of teeth and t**ts, smiling for the camera's gonna be enough. I needed someone who could act."

Which she can indeed. In mid-March, Lawrence nabbed the leading role in 'The Hunger Games,' a much-anticipated adaptation to the hottest young adult series since 'Twilight.' Lionsgate confirmed Lawrence for the coveted part of Katniss Everdeen; she reportedly beat out other young actresses, including 'True Grit' star Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Emma Roberts.

For this photo of Angelina Jolie getting handsy with her panda co-star, we asked our Facebook fans to come up with a caption. The winning submission came from Rebekah Moses, who offered this: "I will adopt whatever comes out of here!" Thanks, Rebekah!

Mel Gibson to Jodie Foster: "That's weird, Jodie. From the looks of the crowd, you'd think they're not happy to see me. I need to put my glasses on, because that totally can't be the case..."
Lady Gaga takes a moment to catch a whiff of herself. "Yep! Smells weird. Everything is in order."

The female cast of "Jersey Shore" hits Florence, Italy, and it's just like the "Sex and the City" movie, only minus the glamour, the taste and any sense of sophistication. Oh, and the camera lens is smeared with grime. But yeah, basically just the same.
Per Angelina Jolie's instructions, Brad Pitt must leave one shirt button undone at all times, just so she can gaze upon his chest whenever the mood strikes.

Celebrity Trend: Getting Pregnant Before Marriage!





This is how it's supposed to be: first comes love...then comes marriage...then comes a baby in a baby carriage!!! But in Hollywood, that's a different story. This is how things roll in Hollywood: first comes love? (supposedly)...then comes baby...then comes...hmmm let's see: maybe marriage, NOT likely though, OR break-up.
A lot of celebrity women have the independence and bank account to be a single mother, and that sure is a likely scene in Hollywood. They see someone they want to have a child with, and if that relationship lasts then great! but it's no biggy if they break-up because...they can find another one.
Though it's great to see many independent women not need a man in their lives, I'm also wondering what other message this sends. Where has the sanctity of marriage go? When did this evolution of a woman's independence change suddenly? How has it become so acceptable to not marry the man who's also the baby daddy?
I have seen in this new age that having a baby when your young (Teen Mom) or when you're not married is becoming somewhat glamorized in the media. Not only are there special shows about young moms, but so many of them! MTV now has Teen Mom 2 and related shows such as 16 And Pregnant. What is the real meaning behind these reality shows? Isn't it supposed to be a warning amongst viewers that what we watch is NOT a life we should want to bestow upon ourselves? Then there's Hollywood that has beautiful women pregnant: Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Ritchie, and Halle Berry. These women are successful and independent. Some are still with their baby daddy and others aren't.
Call me old fashioned but I'm all for love, marriage, and then baby. At least I know if this schedule didn't work out, I'll still be okay because it has become so acceptable ;)

Justin Timberlake talks about Jessica Biel

Although they broke up in winter, more than four months ago, it is clear that Justin Timberlake still hold Jessica Biel in a special place in his heart. In the July issue of Vanity Fair he stated that: "She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life. In my 30 years, she is the most special person, okay? … I don't want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance, her."

Although he prefers not to speak too much about his relationship with Jessica Biel, not the same can be said about his relationship with pop star Britney Spears, to whom he hadn’t spoken in years. Still the singer thinks about those times with nostalgia and remembers what it was like when they were only two kids who had fallen in love.

"I wish her the best – that goes without saying. We haven't spoken in 9 or 10 years. We were two birds of the same feather, small-town kids, doing the same thing," he says. "But then you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn't make any sense. … We spent way too much time being the biggest thing for teenyboppers."

When talking about his future plans, Timberlake says that they revolve around music and marriage, although the second one is the most appealing to the singer. "As little as six months ago I wouldn't have even thought about that, but now it feels like a closer planet orbiting around, “ Timberlake added. As far as music goes, he wishes to go on another big tour.

    Really stop lying to yourself. Android is a powerful mobile OS that can be adapted to many situations. Its not going anywhere for a while. Kindle will not outsell it as kindles direct competition the Nook (an android device). Android will save people money in the future. Why right your own set of code for a cash register when you just build it on top of android.

    TomTom or Garmin wouldn't help Apple that much. Garmin and TomTom both license either Teleatlas or Navteq for road data and they don't have access to much else since most of their devices are "offline" devices. Google has used Google Maps to build up a lot of data (they currently provide their own traffic on Google maps by curating all the data from mobile GMaps users, etc). A lot of people are missing out on the fact that "maps" that people expect today is a lot more than just road data. Getting access to road data is not that complicated for Apple to obtain. The rest is very complicated. Currently Google is the leader in this and there really isn't a close second (although Bing is doing some innovative things in this area).


    TomTom owns TeleAltas but they license their data out to everyone just like Navteq. That is their bread and butter.

    Trying to tell y'all... the Verizon iPhone released in February may truly have switched up the game.

    Apple & Verizon came together, and will make LTE work within the iPhone sooner than later, and AT&T is playing catch-up within their entire layout of LTE.

    If there is indeed a wait on the iPhone 5(no June/July release), I'd expect it coming with LTE in the 1st quarter of 2012, or possibly this fall. Apple is making COIN on the iPhone 4, and the next big thing is - LTE(4G).

    Apple is playing this smart as usual... Or this all could be a rumor, and the iPhone 5 will be here in a couple months for a 'normal' launch update, and the iPhone 6 will be the first to introduce LTE in 2012.

    I really don't know... but I do think Apple is playing the Ace of Spades, and may hold on for a new release of the iPhone 4(especially in Verizon's case - Feb '11) before the market, and more emphatically, Verizon's market adoption is seen & heard... Think about it... Apple releases the Verizon iPhone in February, then 4 months later releases a new iPhone - there is some bad business going on there.

    Apple is playing the cards right... just not for the consumer. :cool:

    What percentage of iPhone users are on Verizon (world wide)? Serious question, because I don't see how Verizon getting the iPhone 4 has anything to do with an iPhone 5 release date. I really doubt 4g will be coming with the next iPhone. Everyone seems to think Verizon and its customers have some sort of power over apple. Wasn't an issue for the rest of the world and all the carriers and customers that got iPhones mid-cycle between the 3GS and 4.

    Usually, I get pretty excited about new technologies and standards, but this just isn't doing it for me...

    I've finally resigned myself to having a mirror set of hard drives for backup. Storing to removable media is too hard to organize, requires too many discs, and the optical discs don't have a life span long enough to make me comfortable. With the information density of BluRay I'm sure the recordables are going to have lousy longevity. I'll stick with live copies that I can keep testing the checksums on.

    So, for me they're nothing more than a distribution method for high-def video and the fun has even been taken out of that by all the DRM shackles they've wrapped around it. I wonder how many people are really going to throw out their whole home entertainment system just to be able to play BR discs. If the recordable discs are $50, I'm sure discs with content will be at least that much-- and I can't back up this expensive, fragile data? I've got enough $12 DVDs I can't watch on my Mac because they've gotten scratched. Can't watch it on any computer I chose? Can't rip it to my iPod?

    (come to think of it, $50 recordable media is probably all the DRM they need... Who's going to make an illegal copy when the blank media costs more than a DVD player?)

    And doesn't the DRM phone home?!?

    Nah. I'll wait. Hopefully by the time the media price has gotten low enough to make it worth it I'll have found myself with the equipment to actually view them and some Scandinavian kid will have cracked the encryption.

    1) Apple developers are forgetting about their own UI guidelines. Rather than using a button like "Upgrade" or "Open MobileMe Preferences", they use the generic OK label that could mean anything.

    2) They are being lazy during development, and the wording will be changed before the official release.

    Actually, I hate to start a flamewar...As for my iPhone 4, it already seems a bit dated and laggy (takes 10 seconds to open Camera, laggy keyboard when searching in Maps, choppy animations in games). I think this is a software problem though. If Apple came out with a much more efficient and smoother iOS 5 (that made my iPhone 4 feel like a new phone), I would be perfectly satisfied.

    What!? I've had my iPhone 4 for seven whole days and I have not had this happen on my phone. Camera takes about 2-3 seconds to open on my phone-I do not have keyboard lag under maps and I have seen some amazing graphics (and no 'choppiness') with some of the games on my phone ('Death Rally' anyone?).

    You might be having some problems with your phone-I haven't come across similar threads with your reported problems. I don't see this as a symptom of the iPhone 4 as being "a bit dated".

    So Samsung believed Apple was violating it's patents all this time but decided to do nothing about it. Now that they have been pushed they decide to act. Sounds to me they are trying to find whatever they can to bite back at Apple.

    it is more company like Samgsung have huge patent porfolios that they never really use unless they get sued and that is when they go looking threw it and saw Hmm "Apple is suing me what can I nail them on" Apple is currently starting to piss people off so they are going to start going threw their patents and hitting back.

    I wonder how many of these posts are trolls? I haven't had any issues whatsoever with 4.3.1. I also didn't have any problems with 4.3; battery life has been absolutely stellar and call performance actually improved in 4.3.1.

    The timing of all these "bitching" posts just seems suspicious.

    Or maybe you aren't using one of the affected phone models, or maybe it only affects people in areas with a weak signal, or perhaps you simply haven't noticed the drop because your battery life is still "good enough". For myself, the drop in battery life is quite apparent because I went from having my unjailbroken 3GS make it through the day easily to me needing a charger to make it through the last hour of work (yes, Ping is turned off).

    How is the timing of these "bitching" posts suspicious? Wouldn't it be natural to note a problem after the patch is released and you install it on your phone? Wouldn't it be equally natural to hope that the next patch fixes it?

    Just because you are apparently unaffected doesn't mean the problem isn't real. 4.3 destroyed my battery life, 4.3.1 didn't fix it, here's hoping 4.3.2 does.

    He doesn't need to actually drive that trip to be skeptical of your claim of a thousand miles on a tank of gas. Frankly, I'm skeptical of it too.



    Okay, but you're claiming double that. Not 10% more or 20% more - double.

    No. I'm claiming I got to Phoenix on half a tank of gas which is entirely doable and possible, if you know how to drive properly on freeways. Lead foots won't pull it off. Just because I got there with half a tank to spare after 500 miles does not automatically equate to 1000 on a full tank. Again, you people need to stop riding the numbers. It's not that simple.

    After I got to Phoenix it was all city streets. The remainder of the gas burned out rather quickly. I'd say I was able to do a total of about 600 miles when it was all said and done. Again, the car is not burning gas if you're not pressing the accelerator. If the car is already going 80 MPH on a stretch, there's little need to press the accelerator constantly. All you have to do is tap it every so often to keep the car's momentum going, but in the meantime you're still traveling 80 MPH. You might only burn a quarter's worth of gas if you know how to not ride the accelerator.

    Point being - it CAN be done, so don't tell me the Altima is less efficient than the Versa.
