Jennifer Lawrence whips out her ‘nitro’: ‘Cool Ranch Doritos are my girl’

Jennifer Lawrence’s cover interview for the November issue of Vanity Fair has given me whiplash. That’s the nature of this particular beast. Part of the discussion included JLaw’s reaction to her stolen photos. She nailed it with her furious yet measured message to the hackers and people who looked at her photos.

Then Vanity Fair started to release quotes from the main interview. JLaw dove into dangerous territory by claiming to “worship” Woody Allen. She bashed gluten-free diets. Some people saw this as Goop shade. Is JLaw really that calculating? I don’t think she thinks that far ahead when speaking. Words simply spill out of her mouth. She’s always been obsessed with junk food and carbs. But maybe JLaw unconsciously dropped some shade on the woman who is still married to her boyfriend. Hollywood Life says Goop thinks JLaw’s comments are “ignorant,” for what it’s worth.

Anyway. Vanity Fair has released a behind-the-scenes video of JLaw’s interview. They’re parceling this stuff out, as they should. JLaw is big business for mags. This video is interesting because Jennifer has gone fully “nitro.” I sense that she’s nervous about jumping into a grueling new press circuit. She’s very aware of the ongoing backlash that follows her. Most of the time, JLaw disappears in between tours. This time, we’re fresh off the Martin Lawrence gossip. She’s worried, and it shows in the video. Jennifer answers a series of questions, and she’s pretty spazzy. Yes, “pointless gossip” and junk food comes up:

What scares her? “Spiders. I’m very afraid of spiders. And ghosts. I wouldn’t say I’m as afraid of ghosts as I am paranoid of ghosts.”

Her junk food weakness: “Well, Cool Ranch Doritos are my girl. I’ve been trying to wean myself off of Cool Ranch Doritos and move onto Pirate’s Booty. It’s just not doing the trick … Cheez-Its.”

Is she tempted to use social media? “Nooo. Tempted? I have 112 unread emails right now. You know, I’m so not tempted to become more accessible. I don’t want anyone to talk to me, ever.”

Does she want to direct? “I’ve always wanted to produce because I remember reading these incredible scripts that would never see the light of day. Then I’d drive through Westwood and see some of the crap that was coming out, and I was like ‘What is going on with the world?’ So I’ve always wanted to produce, and Glass Castle being my first project was so perfect because I was so moved by that book.”

Who did she admire as a kid? “Destiny’s Child was my first CD. Uh, TLC. I met Jay Z and I was so embarrassed because you could see my knees bouncing up and down. He was like, ‘Are you okay?’ I was like, “Yeaahh. Huh huh. Bye. Aaaahah.’ They’re king and queen of America! Or of music. And then Brad and Angelina are the king and queen of movies. At least I think”

The last show she binge-watched: “Well, the Kardashians were just in Thailand so that was a pretty big deal. I’m catching up on all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills … I’m trying to stay up to speed on all the pointless gossip that goes on in Hollywood. [Laughs.] I haven’t watched the news.”

[From Vanity Fair]

Jennifer seems a little vapid here, but you know I’d still eat pizza with her. She gets a lot of criticism for constantly talking about bodily functions and dreaming about cake, but I still like her. What I don’t get is the obsession with Cool Ranch. When I visualized the Doritos dust that ruined the American Hustle costumes, I was thinking of the Jacked Spice Street Taco flavor. Not something bland like Cool Ranch.

FYI: Nick Hoult spoke out about the stolen pics. He said, “It’s shocking that things like that happen in the world. It’s a shame.” Oh, and apparently JLaw & Nick will film a sex scene for X-Men: Apocalpse. That should be interesting if he’s really dating Kristen Stewart. JLaw, of course, is still with the king of elevator music.

    She looks amazing while the doing the photoshoot but not so much in the sit down interview.

    The video interview is cute. I still prefer my nacho cheese Doritos though.

  2. LadyJane says:

    The redlipstick is amazing on her. The makeup in the video looks TERRIBLE but I would still kill for her skin. I love her, love her. I love her frankness. She doesn’t try to be deep or philosophical, only honest. I find her observations so on the mark: Beyonce and JayZ ARE the king and queen of music, Brad and Ange ARE the king and queen of movies.

    • Charlie says:

      *King and Queen of American music. King and Queen of American movies.

      She seems cute here. Vapid but cute, as per usual. I saw the Serena trailer and I’m again not blown away by her acting.

      • K says:

        I really like her, and I think she’s a great actress, but I thought she looked actively bad in the Serena trailer, tbh. May explain why they’ve not known what to do with the movie.

  3. Kitten says:

    First scones are “tasteless”, now Cool Ranch Doritos are “bland”?
    I’m starting to doubt your palette, Bedhead.

    • Jules says:

      Ha!Ha! Serioulsy, I LIVE for cool ranch doritos.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Some people have no appreciation for the finer things in life.

      • CatJ says:

        What!! There’s a flavour of Dorito’s called Jacked Spice Street Taco??! Really, or are you just pullin my carb craven’ chain!!!
        We don’t get that flavour in my neck of Western Canada!!! OMG, I am gonna hafta import….. Duties be damned!

    • Bedhead says:

      There must be something wrong with my taste buds! I’m starting to enjoy the taste of Gu gels. HELP ME.

    • Erinn says:

      I’ve only had a scone from one place that wasn’t terrible. My aunt had to nearly force-feed me this amazing ginger pumpkin scone. They make scones to die for.

      However, Cool Ranch Doritos are right up there with Sweet Chili Heat for me. Delish.

    • Chris says:

      Yes. I’ve only recently discovered Cool Ranch Doritos and I’m a big fan. I want to make some nachos with them.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      Scones can be pretty awful if they aren’t done right and aren’t fresh. Like a dry biscuit (that sounds kind of odd). I wasn’t a fan for a long time until I had a fresh one and was like WHAT was I eating before, because it sure isn’t this?!

  4. Sam says:

    I thought Pirate’s Booty was the solution to my problems, until I realized that I could easily do an entire bag in a single sitting. So I kinda defeated my own purpose there…

    • Tiffany :) says:

      They used to have bags of Pirate Booty at my office in the vending machine. They were on the top row, and would get caught. I’d regularly get a co-worker so we could lift and rock the vending machine until the Booty fell out. It was loud, it was heavy, but it was worth it! Yes, I was that determined to get das booty! 😀

      They no longer stock them, and so I am left Booty-less. I guess I could always go to the store…

  5. Abbott says:

    I’m so HASHTAG Over Her. *bitchily slams locker*

  6. Jen says:

    God, shut up Jennifer.

    She’s like the epitome of the “cool girl” from Gone Girl.

      This!

    • Celia says:

      She gets asked questions and answers. I mean, I get it if you don’t like her but why watch her interviews if you don’t want to hear her talking?

    • homegrrl says:

      Right? These are the insipid ramblings of a Gap girl from snl except she is quoted in Vanity Fair. Ugh. This gives me flashbacks from working in a retail box with a mob of the entitled and the uneducated. M a k e i t s t o p

    • K says:

      I’ve not seen Gone Girl – do you recommend it?

    • Josefa says:

      I feel like the only woman in the world who thought that part of the book was terrible. I’ve liked videogames and soccer before I liked dating men. And I love talking about it, and since most women I know don’t talk about those things, I talk about it with guys. And I’m not trying to impress them. I just genuinely want to have a conversation about why The Wind Waker is the most underrated Zelda release ever. What’s wrong with wanting someone you’re sexually attracted to and shares your same tastes?

      But of course everything women do has to revolve around men. Of course JLaw hates junk food. She just wants her male fans to keep their boners hard.

      • Val says:

        But Wind Waker is all cartoony and besides, following up on the epicness of Ocarina of Time was really difficult and I think they chose the wrong path my completely changing the look. I think Zelda would have been so much better if they’d kept it in the same theme as Ocarina/MM.
        Anyway…. I agree with pretty much everything you said. I also think it’s annoying that you’re either “cool and eat junk food” OR “uptight and healthy”, why can’t you be cool and healthy? Or annoying and like Doritos? I swear in today’s world we can all be anything and everything at the same time, there isn’t any need to pigeonhole.

  7. Adele says:

    She’s like the sun after the storm. She never fails to bear good mood in my day. She’s unique

  8. Jem says:

    Regular tortilla chips with salsa to dip are my girl. I actually don’t care for the “dusted” chips, of any variety. I’m into plain chips… with dips: onion, salsa or hummus. It’s about what you dip it in with me.

    • pamspam says:

      My thing? Regular tortilla chips and cream cheese. Don’t judge me.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Yes, they are the vehicle for some heavenly stuff.

    • chick b. says:

      I have strong feelings against chip dust (or “cheetle”, in sniglet terms) as well.

      Also, fill a pie plate with the cream cheese, spread salsa on top, grab a bag of tortilla chips and don’t come up for air.

    • Veronica says:

      Cooler Ranch Doritos used to be my jam, but I do find that I’m losing my taste for them as I get older. I am all about the chips and salsa now. I have to beg the waiters at Mexican restaurants NOT to bring that goddamn basket of devil triangles around, else I’ll wind up eating two of the myself.

  9. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    I hate, hate that she said she “worships Woody Allen.” I foam at the mouth over Hollywood’s blind eye towards Allen. I just want to shake her.

    However, I do not think she’s shading Goop with the Doritos thing. I don’t get a mean-spirited vibe from her. She needs attention, and gets it in ways I find grating, but I don’t see her intentionally antagonizing her boyfriend’s ex.

    • Abbott says:

      Agree. I find it odd that someone who is a victim of a sex crime worships Woody Allen.

      • ran says:

        If you put it in context it seems like she’s talking about him as a director. Also the sex crime wasnt part of the same interview exactly since it happened weeks after they originally interviewed her but it was still a cringe worthy moment.

      • Birdix says:

        can’t there be some other term than “victim of a sex crime?” because for people who are the victims of a physical sex crime, having photos stolen does not seem like the same thing. I know this is a unpopular opinion and I know that she suffered, and what was done to her was terrible and wrong. I just wish there was another way to word it, because this trips me up every time.
        I wonder if Kristen Stewart wonders why no one considers the photos of her with Rupert S that were taken and sold not held up to any kind of scrutiny as a violation of privacy. If she had been with Rob, then would people have objected? Of course, there is a difference as she was in a public place, and thus had no real expectation of privacy, but some of the arguments against the hackers could be applied to long lens paparazzi as well.

      • ran says:

        @Birdix Peeping Tom is a sex crime. This was like the digital version of it and it happened not by one but by hundreds of thousands of people. It IS a sex crime.

      • K says:

        @Birdix

        I agree. It seems like such a misuse of that term and also disrespectful to victims of physical sexual abuse.

      • maybeiamcrazy says:

        @Birdix
        I don’t understand how publishing somebody’s private nude pictures is not a sex crime. The hackers stripped her naked in front of whole world. And if somebody merely slaps you, it is a violent crime if somebody beats the shit out of you it is still a violent crime. Sex crimes varies in degrees just like every other kind of crime. Rape is worst, i am sure nobody would argue otherwise but it doesn’t mean it is wrong to use the term “sex crime” for less worse situations.

      • K says:

        I’ve had my boobs groped by a creep, and that’s a sex crime. I don’t for one second compare it to what rape survivors have had to endure and deal with, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t legally and morally also a sex crime. There are degrees. And I would rather have a minor sexual assault committed against me, and be able to move past and barely ever remember it, than know millions of people were using personal sexual images I took for a single audience, and using them as pornography without my consent. By a very, very large margin.

        The horror of sexual assault is the treating you as an object, and the denial of your right to control your own body and your own sexuality. Nobody’s saying this is as bad as rape, or anything even close, but to be a sexual offence, it doesn’t need to be. If it did, viewing stolen sexual images would not be a sex crime in an awful lot of countries. In the UK, what happened to Duchess Kate would be a sex crime. The photographer could be put on the sex offender’s register. The fact people hate her disguised that fact. And a lot of normal women with bitter exes find they’re where JLaw is, too. Revenge Porn should be a sexual crime everywhere IMO. We’re hearing a lot about famous victims, but Jane Does are stalked, lose their jobs, lose friends, and can’t ever clean their images from the Web again because they are spawned as soon as they’re uploaded. That’s the main point here IMO and I’m sorry it’s not been made enough of, in the focus on celebrity.

  10. shea says:

    So, I sort of get where the JLaw backlash – pre-hacks – is coming from, but I’m totally a fan girl regardless. Not only is she incredible to watch on screen, she’s just lovely to observe in interviews. I get how, for some, it gets old fast, but she comes across as being genuine to me.

    Also, she looks stunning in this photo shoot. It’s giving off some 80s, Heather Locklear/Dynasty vibes to me.

  11. Luciana says:

    Yesterday I wrote that both the messages Goop and JLaw are sending are bad regarding diets, of course. I am not shaming Jen for liking fast foods but look at her! Her body is not made of Doritos and pizza. She’s quite young and her metabolism is pretty high right now but there’s millions of girls her age overweight. She works out and eats healthy indulging herself like most people do. Being overweight is disease. My claim has nothing to do with beauty standards.
    The same goes for Goop. We need carbs (not necessary gluten ones), fats, proteins and fibers to function and be healthy. Depriving yourself is as damaging as overeating or living on a fast food diet.

    Reporters should stop this trend of asking celebs about their food choices. What will be next? How they self medicate?

  12. Brin says:

    She’s refreshing and definitely the ante-Goop. Chris Martin must love her dorito breath and is probably thrilled by the gluten-free diet shade.

  13. Helo says:

    Oh, I don’t see how she is any different here in this video than in any other interview since 2011. I’m not feeling vapid, either…I mean, with the softball questions being tossed here, how deep could one get?. My answers would be similar….especially regarding the cool ranch Doritos.

    Does it seem (in the video) that Lawrence is nervous about the Martin relationship?…no, I don’t get that vibe either. I also respectfully disagree regarding the freaking backlash! (LOL!)…again, there is (never really was) a backlash.

    Especially now, Jennifer Lawrence seems even more well liked. I’m reading comments from those that were not fans before, but are now because of how she has handled herself throughout the stolen photos ordeal.

  14. bella says:

    she’s still a kid, so i don’t expect anything she says to be profound.
    she’s open and unguarded which contribute to her charm.
    i’m still a bit confused about her pairing with CM, i’ve got to say, but what do i know?

    • Charlie says:

      She’s 24, how is she a kid?

      • magpie says:

        Urgh, lots of 24 year olds work full time or are in grad school and are capable of being very profound. I know 14 year olds who are very deep thinkers. Age has nothing to do with it.

  15. Ms. Turtle says:

    I think she’s a lovely actress but every time she opens her mouth, I like her less and less. She seems like a child playing dress-up as an adult. I cannot imagine that her relationship with Chris Martin is any more than a) sex and b) revenge. Maybe it’s cool for her to be with an older guy who’s established in his own fame. And for him, it’s a win/win. Sex with a 22yo It Girl who isn’t his uptight shrewish wife. But yeah, I want her to go away between movies. Her schtick has run its course.

  16. nk868 says:

    i don’t think she’s nervous or acting spazzy. she seems like a normal 24 year old. that’s why girls her age like her – she talks like your friends do.

  17. Pri says:

    Eeeek, horrid makeup. The artist who did her makeup here and at the Dior show needs to be FIRED.

    JLaw is a beautiful girl, don;t get me wrong. She needs better stylists, she basically needs a real life Cinna.

  18. K says:

    Sick of the whole “she’s young, just a kid” angle. At 24, most people would have graduated college and be working to build their careers. People go to war at 18! Why she gets handled with kid gloves is beyond me. What she said about Allen and the gluten diet was stupid and insensitive – there’s no way around that.

    • Jag says:

      Agreed!

    • Lauren says:

      Amen K!
      I am just a year older than her and I doubt my boss our coworkers would say “nah you shouldn’t take offense when Lauren says something, she’s just a kid”

    • Lucinda says:

      By 24 I was getting married and had a full-time career with a college degree. I still did and said a lot of cringe-worthy things at that age and to be honest, I’m surprised my colleagues didn’t slap my once in a while. You can be responsible and still stay stupid things because you are oblivious due to lack of experience.

  19. Em says:

    WTF happened to her makeup in the video? Damn!

  20. Sarah says:

    Slamming gluten free diets in Vanity Fair suggests that she’s sending a message to Gwenyth, that she doesn’t want to play along with her happy divorced village narrative.

  21. whatsmyname? says:

    I don’t understand the vapid part considering what type of questions she is being asked. I think people take everything she says very literal and way too seriously.

    Anyways I’m so excited for Mockingjay.

    • Helo says:

      @Whatsmyname: Plus one million.

    • Dan says:

      ” I think people take everything she says very literal and way too seriously.”

      People always do this with her for some reason. They take everything she says so seriously, then take it out of context, nipticking every little thing then blow it out of proportion.

      • Em says:

        No. Exactly the opposite happens with her. I think you mean Kristen Stewart. Or any other celebrity that is severely disliked on this site.

      • Dan says:

        No I dont mean Krister Stewart because I dont follow what happens with her. In JLaw’s case though it happens all the time.

      • Nic says:

        @EM you’re exactly right. Of course Dan’s comment was the typical “must shelter and protect Jen at all cost” comment.

    • Emelu says:

      I think you nailed it.

  22. Jackson says:

    She seems vapid here…..because she IS vapid. Or at the very least not a thoughtful, measured, deep thinker. She seemed so together when she recited her lines re the stolen photos because it was rehearsed and probably written by her lawyer/publicist/someone who isn’t her. I don’t believe deep thoughts are ever going to come from her mouth unless they’re coming from a script….which is really neither here nor there, I just don’t expect much more from her.

    • Gia says:

      I agree…but when I was her age, it was all about me and my personal dramas were the center of my world. As she matures (hopefully!) the vapidness will diminish.

    • Gillian1 says:

      I don’t think she’s vapid at all – and I think she wrote that statement about the photos herself, it reads totally like her and not a PR person…

    • Someonestolemyname says:

      I think she’s rather vapid and annoying too.

  23. H says:

    “Words simply spill out of her mouth.”

    I gotta say, I like JLaw but I think she’s more calculating than this. She has great natural charisma and timing and instincts, but she thinks about what she says before she says it.

  24. ran says:

    I just can’t seem to stop liking this girl for some reason. Even after the offensive/stupid sutff that come out of her mouth, i just cant stop. I dont know what that says about me lol

  25. Nicole says:

    I honestly think people are projecting way too much into this. You do know this was done months ago right? So “throwing shade” and being nervous about her supposed “relationship” backlash (that most people are not convinced of) is a work of fiction. Jen constantly talks about food no surprise there. And she has discussed being nervous doing press before which explains her “nitro” behavior every time she does press. Her co stars have said she’s different when she’s not in the spotlight which I actually believe. I think the actual fame part of acting enhances her anxiety. I honestly think people are looking for things to pick apart.

  26. Bess says:

    I still think she’s way too young to be dating an older-not-yet-divorced man with two children. Run, Jennifer, run!

  27. Carebearvancouver says:

    So Donald trump was on Howard stern and he was asked about her and he said she had very bad skin, he went on about it…..yes he is an idiot but what is he talking about?? He said in person, horrible skin…

  28. Gia says:

    Lol at the video. I’ll give it her: at least she’s honest! Most actresses wouldn’t admit to watching Real Housewives but I bet they do! I can’t put my finger on it but she seems a little ‘over it’. The photo scandal obviously has had an effect on her.

  29. INeedANap says:

    One thing that infuriated me is how dang silent all the men who received the nude pics were. I’m glad Hoult said something, but what about everyone else? What about all the men who asked for and received all the other pictures? They benefited from this in two ways — getting sexy texts and then avoiding the drama when they were stolen.

    If men are going to ask women for naked pictures, they need to be prepared to defend those women when they are attacked for it. It’s very easy to sit back and benefit, then leave the poor ladies high and dry and alone when real ish goes down.

    This was the time for them to stand up and be allies and say “IT IS NOT OK.”

    • Gillian1 says:

      I’ve love for someone to do a proper interview with J-Law – instead of asking her about food and crap TV, it would be interesting for a journalist to take her seriously and talk to her about acting, selecting roles and how she sees her career developing. You see, I think she’s very smart, in an un-schooled, intuitive sort of way, despite what a lot of people on this website and others think. Look at her TV interviews, when she runs circles around someone like Jon Stewart – or look at her intelligent selection of roles. (She went after the lead in Winter’s Bone like a dog after a bone, before she was famous, before she had people handling her – she obviously was clever enough to know it was a killer role.) But she’s nervy, and eccentric, and I think she retreats into her goofy, ‘Cool Girl’ persona when doing interviews – which are getting very repetitive. I’d like someone to push behind that persona, because I think there’s a lot more there than she lets on – but unfortunately, we’re likely to get stuck with interviews like the VF one, which phone-hacking comments aside just recycle the same old clichés about how ‘real’ she is…

      • Korra says:

        Lol circles around Jon Stewart. In what way? Dude come on.

        I think she puts that persona on even more BECAUSE she’s not bright. Listen to her try and talk about her movies in a fashion that’s not more than just superficial. She’s not good at it. She isn’t profound or insightful in the least. Same with her body positivity commentary. It isn’t nuanced or intelligent at all. It’s just the same old we should stop calling people fat. She has such an amazing platform and she’s as dumb about it. Yet she gets lauded by feminists for it while at the same time being applauded for her hot body.

        Jennifer Lawrence gets to walk on both sides of the argument. She gets to talk about how fat she is and how much junk food she eats and still be super fit and applauded for how hot she is. On top of being applauded for how open minded, sweet, kind, and intelligent she is. She gets to be crass and rude. People say oh she’s just owning who she is, she’s a great role model. While at the same time appealing to fantasy of men. How people talk about JLaw’s image and why they like her often comes off so incredibly sexist and straight up demeaning to other actresses in Hollywood.

        She gets to talk about nothing and yet gets applauded for being so “real.” She kisses exactly the right amount of butt she needs to and she knows it. How many times have you heard her say she loves this or she loves that.

        What she said in the magazine. Practically every other effing starlet who was a victim of the hacking said it BEFORE HER. She’s in good company. None of her words are new to the public discourse. Just her platform. Her team waited to respond. And they found the public was so sympathetic towards JLaw (disgusting compared to how people in the past have been treated, blake, scar jo even by THIS site) that they worked her statement in much the same way. So JLaw is smart about her career. She’s as manipulative about it as other actresses are so often accused of being.

        She gets the level of pretension Hollywood has. She knows what they will bite at and she’s got a fantastic team behind her as well.

      • Sam says:

        @ Korra: So what you’re basicly saying is that she is intelligent 😉 about her career, about the people she has chosen for her team. about using the media, the general public etc.

      • Korra says:

        In the same way Kim Kardashian is. In the same way politicians are careful about their public persona and how it affects their career. Yeah she is. The girl has a fantastic team behind her. She’s just as worked and puts on just as much of a public persona.

        She’s still not the intelligent person everyone claims she is. The way so many feminists site elevate her and put her on a pedestal is nauseating. Everything about her gets elevated to the NTH degree. I find her privileged and lacking in substance and world experiences. And it shows.

        Frankly my problem isn’t with her. She can be as lacking of substance as she wants. My issue remains with how people perceive these celebrities. Our standards are really low for celebrities. Like Leo is an environmentalist? Lmao. Same thing.

      • K says:

        @Korra

        Exactly!!!!!!!!!

      • Gillian1 says:

        J-Law isn’t very articulate when taking about body-shaming and so on, but she’s smart and witty in interviews – Korra LOLed at the idea of her running rings around Jon Stewart , but see her interview with him at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc6OjNJUzDw. That’s one reason why people like her, and why I think that people are much, much too quick to dismiss her as vapid. Also, the idea that it’s her team driving her career doesn’t explain why she got there in the first place – she didn’t have CAA behind her when she made her breakthrough, and she was as quick and sharp in interviews back then as she is now. However, I agree that it’s frustrating that she goes on some much about body functions, and people seem to lap that up. But I suppose if it’s what the public wants, it want the public gets…

      • Someonestolemyname says:

        Well said, Korra.

  30. Ingrid says:

    Each to their own, at the end of the day, BUT:

    There is no way Jennifer has gotten to the level of fame she has without at least some calculation, not simply about her skill, but her image as well. You simply do not get magazine cover after magazine cover with feature interviews inside without carefully crafting your image, or having some help. When a large portion of the public admires you for your “realness” (aka talking about farts, poop, Doritos), why wouldn’t you want to capitalize on that which the public seems to love? It’s really just business, plain and simple.

    She is 24 years old. I completely agree with the poster who asks why does she get a free pass. If you ask me, a 24 year old woman (she’s not an adolescent anymore) who is talking about the particular subjects that she is-I have to wonder about whether she is playing up the schtick factor or she is just not intelligent or mature. My younger sister is 25 and would never speak this way and think it’s “cute” or “funny”. Especially in a respected, popular magazine that millions of people will buy and read. I don’t understand. Highly successful people that work for these magazines are subjected to be a part of immature content that she provides. Why? I guess the reason I’m so inclined to even respond is that I’m shocked that people are so gullible and are buying her “act”. She’s an actress for crying out loud! Then again like I said, the public is eating up her behavior so why would she change any of that?

      Thank you for saying that. She’s a grown woman, not a child. The ‘she’s so young’ is just infantizing her. Women her age are finishing up law school and taking their bar exams. They are getting their masters degrees, some are marrying and having children of her own. If they are talking about mainlining doritos and farting, they know it wont win them promotions at work or anyone’s respect.

      It’s as if women can;t be anything over 16 years old.

        Oh, I just happened to be particularly incensed by the latest quote grab of her saying that ‘Cool Ranch Doritos are my girl’.

        I just sat at my desk and sighed. I’m baffled that in this arena she’s able to have such a high profile with some of the things that come out of her mouth. Name me one other serious, high-paying job that would keep getting you work like her while broadcasting toilet humor? I’ve seen various live interviews of her while watching late night TV at random and am appalled that we live in a time where a 24 year old woman (ie not a child) can discuss her bowel movements on a platform that millions will see. And the crazy part is she thinks it’s hilarious! And the other crazy part is other people think it’s hilarious! If my 25 year old sister (who, by the way, oversees an entire staff at a high-end New York restaurant) were to even mention a Lawrence-esque potty admission, she’d be out of that job in a heartbeat and disowned by her industry because word would get around that a 25 year old child, not lady, is looking for a new job.

    Woody Allen. She serious? Woody Allen the child molester? If I owned Doritos I’d ban her from them for life.

      She isn’t the only Blanchette, Johansson, Keaton, Phonex… Emma Stone said that she named her dog Woody after Allen!

    Jay and beyonce are king and queen music,Brad and Angelina are king and queen of movies. so true!

    Uh, people, REALLY?! As if she doesn’t have final say over which questions she is asked, what answers she gives, OR the final piece about to go to print. COME ON, WAKE UP.
    You think she’d let some random interviewer ask her random stupid questions and then never get to see what will be printed in the magazine??? How can people be like ‘oh, she gets asked dumb questions’?! Everything she does and everything she puts out is in line with how she wants to be perceived. How do people not get this very basic idea? SMH

    What really disappointed me is that her PR people chose to blame her ex-boyfriend. He is the awful, dirty, immoral man who has to watch the PO*rn movies if poor, innocent Jennifer doesn’t send him her photos. There was possibility to tell women all over the world that they shouldn’t be ashamed or feel guilty if they love their body, like taking photos of their naked bodies, love having sex, etc. And instead we again have old stereotypes.

    • Jbpa says:

      i don’t agree that either her or her PR team blamed Hoult. Yes, she was under no obligation to explain why she took the photos – but there were plenty of people giving her side-eye for the number of photos, and calling her stupid for taking them, so she probably felt the need to make it clear why they existed.

    What I find confusing is why Jlaw and Fassbender did not date at all.

    Wait DORITOS® TAPATIO® are the best! 😀

  38. Someonestolemyname says:

    I wonder if Doritos is paying her for the plug?

  39. Sophie says:

    Doritos should give her an emdorsement deal.

    The first time I saw Jennifer was in Winter’s Bone, I was lucky to see it in the theater-and I was blown away by her. I can’t remember an unknown actress (to me) before or since that made such an impact on me-I could not take my eyes off her.

    I don’t get all the throwing shade, being vapid comments-she seems to me very much the same as she has always been-kind of a boisterous, funny girl that most people would enjoy hanging out with. She is an amazing actress, I enjoy that she doesn’t seem to over think every word that comes out of her mouth. If everything I ever said was put under such scrutiny-I would probably never utter another word again!
