  • Jennifer Lawrence: Liam Hemsworth Hated Kissing Her

    Jennifer Lawrence is a beautiful young woman and a very talented actress. Most guys would love to kiss her–right? Apparently that’s not the case if you’re Liam Hemsworth. And this has nothing to do with the fact that while he was filming the earlier Hunger Games films he was still dating Miley Cyrus. In fact, Hemsworth claims he hated kissing Jennifer Lawrence because of her breath.

    Ouch.

    You see, Lawrence and Hemsworth have reunited lately on the talk show circuit, promoting the latest of their films, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay–Part 1. All sorts of things are brought up when the actors do interviews, and one such topic wound up being all about kissing Jennifer Lawrence.

    It was on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon–just this past Friday–that what might have become a very uncomfortable conversation turned funny instead.

    Fans tweeted questions to the actors while they were guests on the show. One asked Liam Hemsworth what the most awkward scene was he ever had to film.

    “Anytime I had to kiss Jennifer was pretty uncomfortable,” he replied.

    Jimmy Fallon, of course, pressed him to delve a bit deeper into his response.

    “When you look at it on the outside, it looks like a great picture,” Liam Hemsworth explained. “She’s one of my best friends, I love her, but if we had a kissing scene, she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was disgusting. Right before the scene she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I ate tuna’ or ‘I had garlic, and I didn’t brush my teeth.’ And I’d be like, ‘Fantastic, I can’t wait to get in there and taste it!’”

    It certainly sounds like Jennifer Lawrence set her good friend up for most unpleasant experiences every time they had kissing scenes. The two play best friends-turned-potential lovers, Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne, in the Hunger Games series. The franchise’s third installment, Mockingjay–Part 1, opens in theaters on November 21st.

    If Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth happen to kiss in this new film, people might be wondering exactly what the actress ate before shooting the scene. Can you say, ‘Eeeewww?’

    Did Liam Hemsworth ruin the notion of kissing Jennifer Lawrence for men everywhere?

  • Jennifer Lawrence Steals the Show on ‘Letterman’ by Singing — or Trying to Sing

    Jennifer Lawrence stopped by the Late Show With David Letterman on Wednesday to promote The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 and gave the world a treat — sort of.

    The Kentucky native stole the show by singing with Letterman in a rendition of Have a Holly Jolly Christmas.

    The song came about after Lawrence shared about having to face her fear of singing in public while filming the highly anticipated movie. In the film, her character, Katniss Everdeen, sings The Hanging Tree to a Capitol cameraman, bringing him to tears.

    “I do not like singing in front of other people, that’s like my biggest fear,” she told Letterman. “I cried on set that day. I’m scarred from my childhood.”

    The 24-year-old actress, who recently said she’ll never join Twitter, admits that singing is not her forte. She told Letterman that since she was eight years old, she possessed a “tone-deaf Amy Winehouse” voice that her parents made fun, all the while telling her how great she sounded.

    “I have a Southern mother that used to tell me I was amazing at everything and I could do everything, but I can’t,” she said. “I had this tone-deaf-Amy-Winehouse voice and I sang in front of the school when I was eight, because I thought I could.”

    After filming both installments of Mockingjay at the same time, she took some needed time off. However, Lawrence admits that too much time off was not necessarily a good thing.

    “I took some time off. I lost my mind. It was awful,” she said. “I don’t even know how crazy I went.”

  • Katniss Everdeen Would Be a ‘Huge’ Fan of Lorde and Taylor Swift, Says Jennifer Lawrence

    Katniss Everdeen would be a huge fan of Lorde and Taylor Swift, says Jennifer Lawrence, the actress who portrays the heroine in the Hunger Games movie franchise.

    “I think Katniss [Everdeen] would be a huge Lorde fan and obviously Taylor Swift,” Lawrence said at a photocall for Mockingjay — Part 1, the third episode of the series in London.

    Makes sense since Swift co-wrote two tracks for the first film and Lorde curated the soundtrack for the latest installment, according to Stuff.

    “It was so bizarre really to hear a musical version of what emotionally you feel. She captured that character so magically,” Lawrence said of Lorde‘s song, Yellow Flicker Beat, which she wrote for the latest film.

    Lawrence said she can relate to Katniss, even though this is really the first time she’s felt an affinity for a hero from a young adult novel.

    “I’ve never really felt that inspired by somebody who’s from a young adult novel,” said Lawrence. “But [Katniss] has this kind of raw, embodied confidence and the way she makes decisions is very impulsive and just driven by this very clear moral compass she has, so that’s pretty appealing to me as someone who makes decisions in a similar way.”

    Although Lawrence admires her character, she’s quick to point out how she differs from Katniss.

    “She’s completely bare and has to rebuild herself,” she said of Katniss. “I would have just been crying every day, ‘Where’s my mom?’”

  • Jennifer Lawrence Does What Girls Do After a Breakup — She Bought a House for $8.225 Million

    Jennifer Lawrence Does What Girls Do After a Breakup — She Bought a House for $8.225 Million

    Jennifer Lawrence has done what any celebrity girl does after a breakup — she bought a house.

    According to the Los Angeles Times, The X-Men: Days of Future Past star purchased a Beverly Crest home — an abode owned at one time or another by several A-list celebrities — for $8.225 million.

    The Times reports that the five-bedroom, six bathroom home was previously owned by Jessica Simpson, who sold it a year ago for $6.4 million to Sydney Holland, the girlfriend of Viacom and CBS executive chairman Sumner Redstone.

    Holland put it on the market in July, which makes this a nice little flip.

    It was also the home of Ellen DeGeneres for a while back in 2001.

    Built in 1991, the 5,500-square foot home includes a koi pond in front, a pool in the backyard and a spiral staircase in the foyer.

    The listing agents were Branden Williams and Rayni Romito of Hilton & Hyland/Christie’s International Real Estate.

    According to the Times, Lawrence, who can be seen in Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 starting Nov. 21, was represented by Leah Lail and Steve Frankel of Coldwell Banker.
