Why You Shouldn't Be Looking at Jennifer Lawrence Nude

The press has today been plagued with the news that over 100 celebrities are under threat of having intimate pictures of themselves leaked on the internet. Names such as Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Lea Michele and Kaley Cuoco are amongst those on a vile list released by an unknown person said to be hacking their phones after an iCloud leak. 

I sit here an irritated young lady. I was messaged tonight and asked if I wanted to see Jennifer Lawrence nude. My answer was an instantaneous prolific no, yet my thoughts on the subject lingered. 

If we were to eliminate the word celebrity from the equation, how differently would people look at this situation? All of the women under threat are victims- all trusted the situation they were in, took images they believed would remain safe and the release of these images is a violation of their privacy. 



So What IS The Harm in a Couple of Photos Leaked Online? 
"Might boost her career"
"She'll get over it"
"She shouldn't have taken them in the first place"

Statements of a similar stature are heard regularly in the case of  girls becoming victims of revenge porn- Young people are now becoming sexually active at a much younger age, the pressure to look attractive and gain a sexual partner seems a necessary goal but with the growth of a digital age, these images being used deviously are on the rise. 

Social media is a place to interact, but it has also become a place of taunting and bullying, where both girls and boys face abuse from peers over their looks, their sexual orientation and the release of images similar to these.

 Just as porn projects a false image of sex for young people, these pictures too could have a knock-on affect as to the lengths teenage girls are willing to go to to impress the opposite sex. Actresses such as Jennifer Lawrence, praised for her normality and her charm as well as her renowned role in family film Hunger Games could now have their reputations inadvertently tarnished and more importantly, be setting a worrying example to young fans. 

Women are not sexual objects and if we are to take any steps towards equality, it would be to discontinue circulating awful images such as these. Before you decide to take a look at these images out of interest, think how you would feel if it was YOU.


Several celebrities have reacted to the situation in support:

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin are DATING?!

Hold the phone. 

Why, When and HOW are these two dating?

When our fave film gal Jennifer Lawrence broke up with long-term beau Nicholas Hoult, we were all a bit sad (for a millisecond), but what's worse than a celeb break-up? a plain weird pairing.



Give me a minute to drag my jaw from the floor as I write that APPARENTLY the Hunger Games beauty spent a romantic afternoon with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin at the Wolffer Estate Vinyard in New York shortly before her 24th birthday.

A supposed insider blabbed:

"The setting was super romantic. They watched the sun go down together, then quietly left."

*rolls eyes*

The press have deemed J Law to be the exact opposite of Martin's estranged wife and health freak, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, enjoying cigarettes and pizza- qualities that reportedly attracted him to her. Interestingly though, Paltrow nominated the singer in her ice bucket challenge. We shall see if he accepts...

Until I see hard picture evidence, I'm pretty sceptical about this pair.

Jennifer Lawrence Dumped By Nicholas Hoult Over Her Enormous Ego

Say it's not so?! 

J Law and bigheaded really don't sound right when placed in the same sentence, so what is with the reports of long-term boyfriend Nicholas Hoult getting rid of the star due to her "exploded ego. We've already had to deal with this cute couple breaking up, so why did they really call it quits?



The rumours are ridiculous, but The Fix reported that Hoult believed Lawrence had developed a "love of fame"and a source claimed she is desperate to win him back. 

"They're still talking but Nicholas is moving on. He hates how in love with fame Jen is, and he told her he hates dating an A-list actress."




To make make matters worse, it has also been claimed that Hoult is dating actress Riley Keough, being spotted with her earlier this week. Today he was seen in Tokyo with co-star Kristen Stewart eating sushi following the commencement of filming for upcoming movie Equals- that must mean they are dating too, right?!




Speaking to V Magazine he said of his relationship 

"I am just kind of her bystander in many ways.Enjoy the good times but don’t get swept away with it. … I think that’s something she’s capable of doing and what’s makes her special."

What does this all mean? either way I totally think J Law should be given another chance. I LOVE HER.

Jennifer Lawrence Facepalms Emma Watson and it's Glorious

Here's a thought- Hermione and Katniss in a stand-off? 

Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson were seen at Paris Fashion Week having a brilliant time together, although Lawrence playfully thought Watson should talk to the hand. How is it possible that she still looks pretty, even with a mitt in her face?! 



The pair both attended the Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2014/15 collection, sitting in the frow lapping up all the designs. The actresses  are currently having time off after finishing different projects- J-Law's being Mockingjay parts one and two and the Harry Potter star having just graduated and also completed movie Regression.

Best and Worst Dressed at the Oscars 2014

Best Dressed

Cate Blanchett
 As well as picking up that coveted best actress award on Sunday, Blanchett won my prize for best dressed in this exquisite nude Armani PrivĂ© gown complete with intricate embellishments. Her subtle Hollywood curls and minimal jewellery do nothing to offset the beautiful dress. 


Jennifer Lawrence
I was slightly disappointed with Lawrence's rouge gown during the ceremony, with it's out of date peplum and trip-worthy length, her mirrored mini was a much better option. Opting for Tom Ford, this glittery dress with skinny stilettos and a loose quiff finish off her look beautifully.



Kate Hudson
Miss Hudson looked ravishing in this flowing Versace piece. I loved the spiked shoulders complete with embellishments and a deep V that meet with a gathering of the rich material at her waist. 



Charlize Theron
I am a massive fan of the nude straps on this Dior gown worn by Charlize Theron on the red carpet. The top half compliments her slim figure and progresses into a chunky chiffon section before the train presents thin black panels. 


Emma Watson
As English rose Emma Watson gets older, her fashion sense just gets better and better. This Vera Wang piece is stunning with chain mail-esque sleeveless top that stands boldly joined to the black glittery bottom half. She finishes off her look with dramatic rouge, a metallic clutch and several chunky silver rings. Perfect.


Emma Roberts
There was a severe lack of dramatic colour on the red carpet at the weekend so I was really excited when I saw Emma Roberts tulip shaped dress with slash neck at the Vanity Fair party. The silky geometric patterning is subtle and sophisticated and I loved her matching skinny stilettos and glittered solid clutch. 




Brangelina 
My Brangelina obsession seems to augment each time I see them on the red carpet, and the Oscars was no exception. Metallic being an ever-present this season, Jolie's dress was a visual delight. Sparkling in front of the lens, the subtle chiffon sections juxtapose the gathered stalagmite and stalactite-esque encrusted shapes on the gown- beautiful.



Sarah Paulson
American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson opted for an understated pale bronze encrusted floor-length piece. With subtle floral patterns and a metallic clutch bag to compliment the dress, Paulson truly shone.  


Kelly Osbourne
It still baffles me to see someone like Kelly Osbourne on the red carpet at the weekend, however her choice of dress was spot on. Taking a simple strapless, almost dull white gown and adding a sheer and metallic drape gave the outfit volume and charm, thumbs up Kelly. 





Sandra Bullock
A wrap dress can sometimes look dull but Bullock's midnight blue dress with flowing train, side curls and dark eyes give her a mystical, almost ethereal look. 




Jenna Dewan
Intricacy is displayed at it's greatest here with Dewan in this Reem Acra creation. Beading and feathering create a fabulous combination and the slate grey is an elegant colour to opt for. 







Worst Dressed

Anna Kendrick
Oh dear, oh dear. Anna Kendrick's multi-layered black gown with diagonal strip did not flatter the actress,. Although I like the way she matched her nails, mid-section and clutch, the look was too dark. 


Kristen Bell
Cavalli fell flat for me as Kristen Bell looked stiff and almost slightly plump in this dull gown. The bottom half of the dress looked more like a lettuce that has been drained of colour than a sophisticated creation. 



Liza Minelli
Wow, what a disaster. Matching her god-awful electric blue satin two piece, Minelli even incorporated a garish blue streak to complete her fashion fatality. Its burning my eyes.



Pharrell Williams
Making his second fashion faux pas of the season, it was bizarre that Williams opted for shorts instead of trousers. Perhaps someone should remind him he is at the Oscars, not the beach?!



Jared Leto 
So many Hollywood hunks sizzled on the red carpet but Leto's monochrome Saint Laurent tuxedo failed to impress me. Why pick a red bow tie? 



Elsa Pataky
The beautiful Elsa Pataky wore a turquoise embellished gown that made her look ludicrous.Almost as bad as Kim K's sofa dress I must say...

Best and Worst Dressed at the Golden Globes 2014

Award season is well and truly here and last night the biggest and most beautiful stars were celebrating their talent in style at the Golden Globes. Let's take a look at the hits and misses on the red carpet. 




Best Dressed 

Emma Watson

What do you do when you can't make that painstaking choice between cigarette trousers and a deep red gown? You combine the two to create this stunning Dior ensemble English rose Emma Watson wore on the red carpet last night. Combining the look with slim midnight blue stilettos and a subtle low bun, the actress looked effortless. 

 

Amy Adams

Red was definitely a shade I was lusting after last night as fiery-haired actress Amy Adams opted for the same foxy tone as Watson. The plunging V-neck in deep maroon that led into a vibrant rouge suited her fair complection however I would have loved to have seen her hair in some loose waves. Either way a stunning piece. 




Emma Roberts

In the height of its third season, American Horror Story actress and the newly engaged Emma Roberts topped her current success by looking effortlessly chic in her LBD accompanied by intricate oversized turquoise earrings. Accentuating her features in all the right places and with scraped-back hair that allowed all eyes to be on that dress, I thought it was one of the most striking looks of the night.  



Margot Robbie 

Emerging Australian actress Margot Robbie can do no wrong lately as her pieces for The Wolf of Wall Street premieres measured up to this stunning white Gucci gown. Jewel embellishments around the waist and sleeves flattered her svelte figure and those cheeky emerald heels add a splash of colour to her ethereal look. Top marks Margot! 




Jennifer Lawrence
This lady has had a fabulous few months in fashion with an immense amount of successful pieces she donned during the world tour promotion of The Hunger Games Catching Fire. The most anticipated star of the night didn't disappoint in Dior as she embraced monochrome in this prom dress-esque sleeveless piece. Her deep rouge and oceanic earrings brought a fabulous contrast and finished off her look perfectly. You can do no wrong J- Law. 


Julie Bowen

Velvet has been in for quite a while on the high street, and I was wondering when it might infiltrate the red carpet. Bowen demonstrated the right way to wear the fabric with this simple two-tone dress complete with belt and puffed 80s-style sleeves. That plum bottom half is to die for. 



Kate Beckinsale

I'm not usually a fan of the metallic, but this shining piece would make a magpie foam at the mouth. Beckinsale combined the dress with minimal accessories, a plain black clutch and a messy up do- less is definitely more. 




Amelia Clarke
The name Proenza Schouler might not be as prominent as Dior and Oscar De La Renta when it comes to red carpet fashion, but I would note it down. The mini mosaic monochrome print on the dress incorporated translucent panelling and a sophisticated front split. Perfection. 
 

Julianna Margulies

Black dresses are the easiest way to make an impact whilst looking effortlessly gorgeous, suitably demonstrated here by Margulies whose black floor length gown becomes encapsulating at the shoulders and foot of the dress where gold coral-esque embellishments spread and progress. 



Amber Heard
Johnny Depp's newest beau made an Angelina-esque impact on the red carpet in this midnight blue silk Atelier dress. Her loose and volumous quiff with smokey eyes would make anyone swoon. Fabulous job Amber! 



Worst Dressed



Tina Fey

Fey is never too far from my worst dressed list, and I thought this gown was up there as one of her most dire. Curvaceous figures are fabulous but accentuating them further as demonstrated below is anything but flattering. Pink is a dangerous colour and just doesn't work here. 
  

Zoe Saldana

My relationship with partially sheer pieces went from a slight dislike to a clinical loathing after seeing this piece worn by Saldana last night. Baby pink and black are colours only seen in the likes of Ann Summers, and those off-shoulder straps give me palpitations. WHY! 



Uma Thurman

Two pieces are increasingly popular in high fashion and even though we are often encouraged to experiment with varying prints, this dress is a perfect demonstration of a clothing calamity. Slate grey silk combined with a black 90s-style high neck makes for a puzzling composition. 




Mila Kunis
I usually love Kunis' style but this Gucci piece looks as if it should have been thrown away with last year's tinsel. Let's just hope she won't go the same way as Miss Longoria, who is now beyond help when it comes to red carpet mishaps. 



Aubrey Plaza
Oscar de la Renta's over-simplistic bridesmaid-esque piece worn by Aubrey Plaza did nothing for me. The putrid two-tone silky gown sat uncomfortably on Plaza's figure and her matching pink clutch and purple heels make me want to vom. 


Zooey Deschanel
Oh dear maybe I'm just not into Oscar de la Renta because I was sorely disappointed with Zooey's inspid shade and style of her dress. The only redeeming element to her outfit were her intricately embellished shoes which look like they could cause potential damage if she kicked anyone. 



Bernice Bejo 

Bejo may have made an impact stepping out in this outfit last night, but in a lot of ways I wish she would have faded into the carpet. What looked like a sleeveless blazer with crustacean style embellishments clinging to it composed the top half of the piece with a tatty train that made up the bottom half. More tampon than trendsetting.  


Jemima Kirke 

Oh maybe Kirke thought the Golden Globes were hippie themed? The beach is the opposite way, love. A boho look is extremely desirable but donning a piece that looks as if it faded in the wash really isn't. 



Lena Dunham 
Wow, worst dressed of the night goes to this little lady who not only got the colour of her gown wrong, but shape too. The top half of the piece is wonderfully figure-hugging yet swamps her as it reaches into a fat fishtail. My eyes hurt. 


Reese Witherspoon 
Oh no Calvin Klein, I don't know about you but I would consider wearing this to the gym.. The halter neck and colour are perfect for a workout! Did someone pin Witherspoon down and chemically straighten her hair? The style doesn't suit her at all and I'm assuming those wispy bits at the front are some sort of fringe?

Jennifer Lawrence Speaks Up Against Fat Shaming in the Media

What an inspiration! 

As if you couldn't love Jennifer Lawrence any more than you already do, she produces yet more inspiring quotes. The actress has famously been one to speak her mind, and her latest interview with Barbara Walters is no exception. 

The 23 year-old stated "it should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV." She rightly argued the point that if censorship takes place in some areas of the media,why not others.




"If we're regulating cigarettes and sex and cuss words because of the effect it has on our younger generation, why aren't we regulating things like calling somebody fat?"

The star that often professes her love of food and is famed for her down-to-earth personality made these statements at the ABC's 10 Most Fascinating People of the Year filming.



She went on to say "'I think the media needs to take responsibility for the effect it has on our younger generation on these girls that are watching these television shows and picking up how to talk and how to be cool." 

Living in today's society where there is an increasing amount of pressure on young women to look a certain way, it's refreshing that such a prominent actress can make intelligent and forward-thinking comments on society, ones which will hopefully be listened to.

Oh How They Have Blossomed! Ugly Duckling Celebs

To us, the world of celebrity is one of materialism, endless supplies of money and most importantly, the perfect persona. Appearance and wardrobe are often the two influential parts that make them successful so it's always great to see that at one time in their lives, they looked just like you and me. Let's take a look at some of those infamous celebrities who after starting off as ugly ducklings, emerged through puberty to became elegant swans. Can you guess who they are? 

Country Cornrows

What glorious hair this young teen had, I am still baffled as to why she doesn't feel the need to don this style on stage. Who knew such a rosy-cheeked angel would turn into a serial dater?                                  
                                          From pbs.twimg.com
Answer: Taylor Swift

 

An American Idol

This television host and producer definitely lost his puppy fat along with his glasses as he saw potential in making a programme about the Kardashians.  But who is this brace face?
Answer: Ryan Seacrest


Transformer

What a wonderful portrayal of normality this actress seems to depict in one of her school photos. Now a global sex symbol and starring in films such as 'Jennifer's Body' and 'Jonah Hex', it seems the gap-toothed girly suited a bob, and is that a mono brow I see?
Answer: Megan Fox


Leatherhead

Modelling the bowl cut, it seems it wasn't all luxury for this legendary star. Known for his suave air and his timeless look, can you guess who this silver fox is? 
                       From cdn.thegloss.com
Answer: George Clooney

Single Lady

Even in her youth, this singing legend had a pretty flawless face. However she once explained that she was extremely overweight as a child, so perhaps she isn't so perfect?! Who is this bootilicious babe?
                 From www.untitledflow.com
Answer: Beyonce 

Empire State of Mind

Even as a sprog, this rapper was a fan of his gold. Now owning a major record label and married to the Queen of pop, who is this cheeky chappy below? 
                                 From s3.amazonaws.com
Answer: Jay Z

Silver Lining

For this 23-year old, her career might have only just begun, but she seems she has left her 13 year-old self well and truly behind. Described as a tomboy in her youth, the Tennessee-born actress made her name in The Hunger Games. 
                         From snakkle.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com
Answer: Jennifer Lawrence


What a poker face

Don't let this innocent face fool you. Stephani is famous for her New York background and her love to singing, dancing, fashion designing and acting. With a massive comeback planned and a new album set for release in November, who is this pop superstar? 
Answer: Lady Gaga
