Jennifer Lawrence is already an accomplished actress and screenwriter; but now J Law is set to become a director too. 

The Hunger Games actress has officially signed up to her first directing project, and it looks like it's going to be a good one. 

She told Entertainment Weekly, "It's based on an article about mental warfare in the '60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong. 

"It's funny, I've wanted to direct since I was 16 and always thought I should start making steps towards that. If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn't have been ready. Now I actually feel ready."

She also told the EW that the aspiration has been a secret of hers for a long time. 

"I've wanted to direct as long as I've wanted to act. I just don't talk about it because I'd rather just do it."

Jennifer Lawrence has had a pretty impressive run since she took up the baton of the Mockingjay in the formidable Hunger Games series.

Yep, our girl has been on quite the journey since she first hit our screens as our ultimate girl crush, Katniss Everdeen.

Not only has she gone and swooped up an Oscar during her five years working on the series but she has also been named entertainer of the year by Entertainment Weekly, is nabbing character roles ten years her senior and is apparently worth more than any other actress of Hollywood.

Yeah, she’s pretty hot right now.

And just when you thought she could not get any cooler, she has gone and found herself a squad to rival Taylor's, has continuously killed it on the red carpet and still manages to remain her HILARIOUS self. 

Now that the Hunger Games has reached its inevitable conclusion and the press stints are drawing to a close, surely Jen is going to have a lot of free time on her hands. So what is next for the rising star?

1) Joy

Jen will be straight back out doing press after Christmas for her next film, Joy, where she is once again joined by her ultimate on screen beau, Bradley Cooper as well as cinematic royalty, Robert de Niro.  

The film is a biographical comedy-drama following Joy Mangano, a single mother of three who throughout four generations builds her own business empire after creating the ‘miracle mop.’

2) X-Men: Apocalypse

Jennifer will also be reprising her role as Mystique in the next instalment of the X-men series due for release in the Spring.

3) Passengers

Little is yet known about this project, except that it will be a sci-fi drama and Jen will co-star opposite Chris Pratt and Michael Sheen. 

The story follows a spacecraft bringing thousands of hibernating people to a faraway planet. One passenger has a problem in his sleep chamber and he decides to wake up another sleeper,  instead of spending the next 60 years on board alone.

We will have to wait until the end of next year for this one folks! 

4) Writing

And of course Jennifer wants to expand her talents off screen. J-Law is working with her BFF Amy Schumer and Amy’s sister, Kim, on a comedy screenplay.

"They are the funniest motherf—kers that ever lived. They're brilliant writers, too. And fast! The script is pretty much good to go. We work really well together—it's been the most fun thing ever! All I do is laugh."

It is safe to say we are LIVING for that movie.

Though we may model our #browgoals on eyebrow queens such as Cara Delevingne and Lily Collins, most of us know that their deliciously thick brows would probably look ridiculous on us. 

That is because no matter how much you live for a thick, bushy brow in theory, it definitely does not mean that it would suit your face in practise.

In fact, according beauty experts, your natural, pre tweezed arches are probably going to be the best brow shape for your face. Which is ideal, because the natural looking brow is definitely coming into its own. 

However, after all the plucking, tinting, waxing and threading, many of us probably do not even know what our natural eyebrows look like anymore.

So put down those tweezers and step away from that mirror! We have everything you need to know about rediscovering your natural brow. 

1) Let em grow!

Sometimes the hardest part about trying to find your natural brow shape is actually letting the brows grow. 

According the eyebrow expert and beauty guru Kristie Streicher, the first two months of growing out those brows will be the toughest. 

"The most difficult stage is the beginning, [because] tweezing can be a habitual pleasure for most of us, so breaking the habit, in addition to seeing your brows look unruly for several weeks, is not easy."

Growing those bad boys out means no waxing, threading or plucking and it can take up to a year for the hair to grow out if the area has been heavily plucked or waxed. 

If there is a drastic shape change, Kristie says "Sometimes there may be a distinct line between your previous shape and where the hair is growing — trust me, this will fill in." So make sure to persevere ladies! 

2) Try a tint!

Tinting is an eyebrow game changer. 

Whether you have fair, blonde hair or deep and dark arches, tinting can really show you what you are working with. 

"It's a natural way to enhance what hair you have, as well as richen and define your brows," says Kristie.

"Even adding the same level of colour can help fill in any sparse areas and give the illusion of a fuller brow."

3) We'll let you tweeze, just a little! 

While you shouldn't tweeze any hairs close to the brow while they are growing out, you can tackle those strays that fall outside the brow line. 

According to Kristie you just need to figure out what should and should not be tweezed. 

"With each tweezing it's important to maintain a rather large 'buffer' between what you're tweezing and your growing eyebrow shape. It is also very helpful to fill in your ideal eyebrow shape with pencil or powder first." 

"Be sure to extend ends all the way across the brow bone when filling in—the ends are most important. This will give you a more clear idea of what should be tweezed and what should be left alone."

4) Say NO to waxing!

If you like the super precise finish of a wax, than we say 'you do you, boo.' 

But if you are looking to enhance your natural brow, Kristie tends to avoid the hot wax. 

"I only tweeze. The eyebrow deserves the detail-oriented and precise approach of tweezing. Waxing can create a very clean and distinct hair-to-no hair line of contrast, and in my humble opinion, this can look contrived and quite dated." 

"Tweezing allows the brows to be a bit more feathered looking, leaving a soft line." 

5) Fill em in 

No matter how long you wait for those pesky brows to fill in, some areas may be naturally more sparse than others. So, thank goodness for eyebrow pencils and powders! 

"Using short feather strokes, shade just above and just below the brow line (or where you have spare areas of hair)," says Kristie.

"Then use a brush to blend, in order to create a fuller and thicker looking brow."

6) Gel em!

If you worry that your brows never seem to stay in place, use a clear gel to set the hairs exactly where you want them.  

"Think of it as the mascara of the eyebrow," says Kristie.

Have you seen a cooler group of friends? We know Taylor Swift and her girl gang are super slick, but we didn't realise these three beauties were BFFs… and now, we're kinda in love. 

Adele, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone were spotted going for a Mexican dinner last night, and we're sure there was plenty of reason to celebrate between the three of them. 

The women are not only known for their talents, but their awesome sense of humour too, so we're sure their night was pretty fun. 

The trio chose an upscale Mexican restaurant, Cosme, for their night out after Adele had finished up her appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

The two stylish actress arrived at the restaurant first and waited for the 25-year-old singer to head over after her television appearance.

It was clear that the ladies were in great moods when they left to restaurant too, as they were seen giggling in their car (which we're sure was down to a margarita or two). 

Adele and Jennifer in particular, have reason for celebration with Jennifer's Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 absolutely dominating the box office and Adele's album, 25, setting high sales records.

We just have one question though, how can we get into their crew?

Jennifer Lawrence is a woman of wonders. Not only is she crazy good at acting, she is also a great singer too. 

J-Law sang in the last instalment for Mocking Jay, and after much persuasion – thanks to film director, Francis Lawrence – the actress has recorded another track for the movie franchise. 

Baauer, the guy behind the Harlem Shake did an official remix version of the song, and it is so good. 

The lullaby Deep in Meadow now becomes a dance-ready track with Jen's vocals and a cool techno beat. Enjoy:

It's official. Beachy blondes are out and cool platinum tones are in.

Instead of trying to emulate sunkissed golden hues when the Irish summer lasted all of five seconds, why not embrace winter and go for an all-over icy blonde?

Jennifer Lawrence stunned on the red carpet this month as she unveiled her new blonde 'do, but she is just one of a long list of stars embracing the high-maintenance colour change this year. 

Here are the girls who did it right. Could you join the pack? 

Jennifer Lawrence 

Bye-bye brunette Katniss. Jen said goodbye to her work on The Hunger Games by totally changing up her look, opting for a new platinum shade instead of her usual sandy blonde.

Caroline Flack 

 

Thank you @gemflossy for making funny wonky face not as wonky as normal

A photo posted by caroline (@carolineflack) on

Halfway through this year's X Factor, Caroline surprised us with a peroxide blonde 'do. Posting pictures of herself in the hair salon, she described the look as "fully fledged non rooted blonde."

Considering a copycat look? Head to the salon. As the style requires an all over intense bleach rather than just highlights, going to a professional will ensure your hair stays in tip top condition. 

Rita Ora 

Rita's trademark has always been her platinum blonde hair and a red lip, but even so she has often embraced her natural dark roots as part of her look.

This year, however, she ditched the dark tones and chose an all-over intense blonde.

Naomi Watts 

Naomi debuted this very high fashion look at the Armani Privé show in Paris this summer, giving up her natural highlights for a striking peroxide finish.

Michelle Williams

Michelle always favoured blonde tresses, but when she stepped out with this intense almost white blonde shade back in May, we absolutely fell in love. 

Kim Kardashian 

How could we forget the shocking, albeit short lived, hair transformation of Kim K earlier this year? Arguably the look that started it all, we definitely lost our minds over this drastic change.

We all know by now that Jennifer Lawrence is the most unpredictable person when it comes to interviews. Just last week she made one reporter's interview a living hell

But this week she threw some serious shade at her co-star Liam Hemsworth and his two brothers Chris and Luke. 

We might all think that Liam is a cuddly, cute teddy bear. But when J Law was asked why she always calls him a "bear", a teddy is not the first thing that pops into her mind. 

"He's an animal! His whole family, they're real animals. It's the craziest family I've been around in my life. The way that they communicate is so physical and crazy,"​ she admitted.

After an very passionate impression of the brothers' wild antics, the Hunger Games actress concluded by repeating, "They're disgusting. They're real bears; they're animals!"

To see what we mean, watch the video below:

Jennifer Lawrence has become one of the biggest film stars in the world. While she is one of the most respected young actors in the business.

Naturally, that means she has been absolutely everywhere doing promotion for her latest release. 

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 actress told Conan O’Brien in an interview that as a result she is in serious need of sleep. 

So much so, that when she finally got the chance to get some shut eye she managed to do herself an injury.  While expressing her excitement over finally being able to get some serious shut-eye on a press tour she managed to dislocate her toe. 

“It’s exhausting. They pushed this show pony too far,” the 25-year old explained.

“We’ve been everywhere.” After traveling around the world to promote the film, JLaw said it was impossible to sleep in hotels because of the time differences.  

“This was my first night of sleep … the best night of sleep the whole tour I got was on the plane,” the Oscar-winning actress said while explaining an iPhone video of her bouncing like crazy on a plane bed.

“It was about 12 hours and I actually dislocated my toe. I dislocated my toe by hitting my own foot.”

Lawrence, who now has a purple toe, exclaimed: “I was psyched!”

We do love a good nap ourselves, but we don’t recall a time where we actually caused ourselves bodily harm in the name of a decent snooze.

The final instalment of the Hunger Games franchise hits cinemas this week, which we're sad about for many, many reasons.

Yes, that means we'll finally say goodbye to Katniss, Gale and Peeta, but more upsettingly we'll also have to bid farewell to the ultimate friendship trio that is Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth.

The three stars have been making red carpet appearances (and giving GIF-worthy interviews) together since 2012, but after this week they'll go their separate ways.

Chatting on Jimmy Kimmel this week, Liam shared a snap of the time he was forced to carry J-Law's Valentino purse on the Wall of China because she wasn't bothered anymore "which is… very Jen." Just look at him there:

Liam's throwback snap got us thinking about other times the trio were just the most perfect pals….

1. That time Jen struggled to choose between the two lads

 

2. And when Liam didn't even give out about J-Law's awful 'impression' of him

 

3. When Josh got some serious face-strokage during an interview

 

4. The time J-Law spilled a load of mints and Liam's face said it all

 

5. Any red carpet group hug

 

6. Although, let's face it, Liam was a bit of a third wheel sometimes…

 

7. Because we all know Jen and Josh have a bit of a *thing* for one another

 

8. In fact, Jen even revealed it was Josh who inspired her to keep going to auditions
Yup, Jen says as a kid she was getting nowhere with acting and her mum suggested leaving New York to move back to Kentucky.

"But I was really determined to not give up on acting, and I saw you [Josh] in a newspaper as a boy from Kentucky who was making it in Hollywood. And I took it to my mom, and I was like, Look, he can do this. I can do this, too."

 

9. But at the end of the day, this friendship is all about the (platonic) threesome

#Goals.

Jennifer Lawrence has decided to gift us all with a lovely little story about filming her very first sex scene.

Spoiler: it did not go well.

In a roundtable interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she chatted with fellow Oscar contenders about how "bizarre" the experience can be and how it left her drunk dialling her mom for moral support. As one does. 

Jennifer filmed the scene with co-star Chris Pratt for the film Passengers/ She said she "got really, really drunk" to try and deal with the awkwardness. Also of note, Christ Pratt is married to Anna Faris and this apparently did not help the situation.

"It was going to be my first time kissing a married man, and guilt is the worst feeling in your stomach," she said.

"So I called my mom, and I was like, 'Will you just tell me it's OK?' It was just very vulnerable. […] That was the most vulnerable I've ever been."  

The roundtable also included Carey Mulligan, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Jane Fonda, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, and Charlotte Rampling.

They all talked about the gender pay gap in Hollywood and the challenge in finding good roles for women. 

Helen responded to Jennifer's recent Lenny op-ed about experiencing the pay gap herself. "We've got to stop being polite," Helen said. "If I ever had children, which I don't, the first thing I'd teach a girl of mine is the words 'f**k off.'"

From Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie to Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon we thought that we had a pretty decent knowledge on celebrity friendships.

It can be difficult to stay up to date on who exactly is singing about which ex-girlfriend but generally social media keeps us all in the loop – looking at you, Kylie Jenner and Blac Chyna.

However, these photos prove as a reminder that in a time before Twitter and Instagram, the most random of celeb friendships took place. We feel like they needed to be brought to your attention. So enjoy this delightful trip down A-list memory lane.

1. 50 Cent and Bette Midler 

Can they please do a duet?

 

2. Will Smith and Marilyn Manson 

It happened.

 

3. Mary J. Blige, Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Missy Elliott and Christina Aguilera 

We also need to talk about Angie’s outfit.

 

4. Hilary Duff, Lil Jon and Jason Biggs 

There has never been a better time to ask… 'turn down for what?'

 

5. Louis Tomlinson, Courtney Love and that guy from The Walking Dead who may or may not be dead (Norman Reedus). 

 

6. Mike Tyson, Joan Rivers, Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, SJP, Tara Reid and Lady Gaga 

The celebrity gods smiled down on us all on this special day.

 

7. Amanda Bynes and Rihanna 

Who appear to have gone to the debs together?

This one's fairly recent – more proof that Kris Jenner continues to take over the world.

9. Beyoncé and Blake Lively 

They apparently even had a secret handshake.

 

10. Helen Mirren and Russell Brand 

We’re sure they have a lot in common.

Smosh interviewers Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox thought they were pranking Jennifer Lawrence BIG time – but what they didn't know was that Jen knew about the jokes, and she completely turned it back on the two poor guys. 

Anthony was giving Ian strange things to say and do with Jennifer through an ear piece, and it increasingly got worse and worse.

But Ms Lawrence got word ahead of time and teamed up with her co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson and a lovely Smosh fan Dylan Miceli-Nelson (a boy living with muscular dystrophy), and they told her how to respond to Ian's awkward questions. 

The result is a weird, cringe-inducing interview: Jen shoots Ian with a Nerf gun, gives out to him for his lack of professionalism and then she storms straight out of the interview… And that's just a small sample of what goes on during the eight minutes.

But the torture is all for a great cause as Prank It FWD will donate $1 (94c) for every 1,000 views and another $1 for every mention it gets on social media.
