Who brings a toddler to their sex tape negotiating sessions? Farrah Abraham, that’s who. Seriously … she did that. The Teen Mom star, who doesn’t lack for self-esteem, says she’s an amazing mom. When bringing a little girl to Vivid Entertainment’s offices … other words come to mind. She says that she is negotiating with two other companies for the rights to the Farrah Abraham porn – which she now admits is real – as well as Vivid. One of those, THG can report, is YouPorn … but it’s unclear how close any buyers are to the $2 million price tag she has allegedly placed on the thing. She also brought along her dad to negotiations with Vivid – “for support,” the 21-year-old says – but it’s clear he’s not too thrilled about her sex tape . One can’t even imagine why. It’s one thing to know that James Deen gave it to your daughter six ways from Tuesday … another to sit there and listen to her rehash it and sell the rights. At least she’s open about it … sort of. The funny thing? TMZ interviewed Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch after the meeting with Farrah and even he questioned the wisdom of her bringing Sophia long. When Steve Hirsch is uncomfortable, that says a lot.
Jennifer Lawrence’s first red carpet appearance in months caused fans to do a double-take, and not just because she flubbed Bill Clinton’s name on stage. Check out her new, shorter hairstyle! Looking gorgeous as ever, the 22-year-old attended the GLAAD Media Awards in L.A. Saturday, sporting a side-swept, almost shaggy fringe look. In addition to the change in length, the honey-colored highlights and wavy layering lend a slightly unkempt feel that fits a low-maintenance gal like Jen. Even at an A-list event, it seems to work … right? Are you a fan of Jen’s new hairstyle? Vote! I love it! Looks great on her! I don’t love it, but she’s still gorgeous. Ugh. Not a fan at all! Who came up with that idea?! View Poll »
Yup, she’s still got it. At the age of 40, Carmen Electra has posed for the new issue of In Touch Weekly , proving that 15 years after starring on Baywatch , the actress can still slide into the red one-piece that made her famous. Electra says she feels better now than she did in her mid 20s, crediting a diet full of “protein and vegetables” for her beach-ready body. But it takes more than a roasted broccoli recipe to look like this, doesn’t it? Yes, the actress/model says her love of dance has taught her “discipline” when it comes to working out and eating right. And, yes fellas, she would absolutely pose Playboy again. As for the bathing suit? “Once I got it on, I felt amazing,” she says. “It was a million times better than I thought it would be.” So… Carmen Electra at 40. Would you hit it? Absolutely! Probably I’ll pass! View Poll »
Guess now we know the real reason Katniss was so hungry. Jennifer Lawrence, smoking pot? We weren’t there, so we can’t say for sure, but one can assume that’s what she’s doing based on this photo. Check it out! Earlier, we posted a gallery of Jennifer Lawrence no makeup shots, showing the Best Actress Oscar winner kicking back with a friend and some wine. And apparently some herb! After the telecast, Lawrence dyed her hair brown and flew to Hawaii to resume production on Catching Fire , the much-anticipated Hunger Games sequel. The star said Sunday that she would have downtime in the Aloha State, however, and these photos taken on her hotel balcony certainly attest to that. J-Law can be seen drinking red wine, hugging a friend, talking on the phone, laughing, and passing a rolled-up cigarette that is most likely a joint. Not that we care, we’re just looking at the picture. Hey, it’s Hawaii and she just went through two months of award shows, interviews and epic falls . Girl’s gotta kick back sometime, right?
Jennifer Lawrence is taking a much-needed break after Hollywood awards season. Well, sort of. She’s in Hawaii to film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire . After winning the Academy Award for Best Actress on Sunday, the Silver Linings Playbook star jetted off to resume production on her next blockbuster. She did find some time to relax, though, thank goodness. Sometimes, a girl’s gotta wear no makeup and kick back with friends. Spoiler alert: She’s still gorgeous! Lawrence, 22, was seen hanging out, make-up free and in casual clothes, with a friend on her hotel balcony in the tropical location on Wednesday. Lots more photos after the jump! The two pals enjoyed a bottle of wine and a few laughs while taking in the ocean view. In one sweet shot, the girlfriends gave each other big hugs. On the Oscars red carpet, the star said her post-Oscar plans included returning to work to finish filming The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire . “I go get my hair dyed for Catching Fire and flying to Hawaii for two weeks,” she said. “[It’s] not reshoots, they’re just scenes we haven’t finished.” She said she would have a little down time, thankfully. “I see my couch. I see TV,” the self-professed reality TV junkie said, “I see a bottle of wine!” We see The Bachelor spoilers, Jen, if you’re interested. We know you told Chris Harrison you’re a big fan, so it’s okay to sneak a peek if you must. Same goes for you, THGers. And click to enlarge the Jennifer Lawrence photos below to see what America’s sweetheart looks like without makeup!
A nude scene from Jennifer Lawrence is a hotly an-tit-cipated and fervently dreamed about scenario here at Skin Central . After her mention as the lone holdout in Seth MacFarlane ’s Oscar opener “ We Saw Your Boobs ”, Zoo Magazine honored us with our very own Mr. Skin meme on Twitter . We are honored! And we’d like to get honor. And offer. And honor. And offer. Now let’s take a look at Jennifer Lawrence ’s latest bra-free appearance at the Film Independent Spirit Awards to see a firm outline of what is surely in our future.
The early ratings for last night’s Oscars indicate that the telecast may have racked up its best numbers since 2007, according to Deadline . Which is good news for Seth MacFarlane , especially if you ignore that the biggest viewership increase came after The Walking Dead ended on AMC and that six of the nine Best Picture nominees had done more than $100 million at the box office. Otherwise, what do you really remember for last night’s telecast besides Jennifer Lawrence’s face plant, the Jaws play-off theme (which was funny exactly once) and the steamed look on Ben Affleck’s mug when he came out on stage after MacFarlane’s Gigli remark? And that brings me to my first Oscars recap observation: 1. Was everybody in the Dolby Theater on Ablixa? Beginning with the show’s weirdly cold opening, the telecast was devoid of the emotional highs and lows, pomp and circumstance that the Oscars used to have and haven’t had for a few years. During the Movieline liveblog, I wondered if Harvey Weinstein had gotten Trazodone added to the Academy Awards gift bag, but I now think the Side Effects antidepressant reference is more appropriate, which is exactly what the Oscars telecast was: exceedingly appropriate. Even MacFarlane’s most out-there insults seemed even-keeled. New York Magazine slammed MacFarlane for being sexist, but I thought his bigger sins were being mediocre and cold. It’s as if the digital revolution didn’t just rewrite the way the film industry makes and releases movies, it reduced the way Hollywood generates excitement into a kind of binary code. Everything’s either a 1 or a 0. That’s what last night felt like, and the only time I felt some of that old-timey Oscar excitement was when Affleck gave his speed-speech. The privilege of being able to make movies is obviously still exciting to Affleck and he’s good at spreading that excitement. 2. The Oscars should not aspire to be the Tonys. So, I understand why there was a preponderance of musical numbers last night: MacFarlane is a show-tunes freak, Les Miserables , Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway were all nominated, and Barbra Streisand was on board to perform a tribute to the late Marvin Hamlisch. But that doesn’t mean they were a good thing. The show was listless to begin with, and all those musical performances didn’t help. Plus, the Chicago (2002) and DreamGirls (2006) tributes left me wondering if I’d slipped and fallen into the Hot Tub Time Machine. I half-expected to see Jackman join MacFarlane for some sort of tribute to The Music Man , which Family Guy has parodied more than once. I’m reluctant to say this is part of a trend, by the way, but have you noticed that the same thing has been happening, in a more contemporary manner, with Saturday Night Live ? The practice of having musical guests hosting and performing — as Justin Bieber just did — is not helping the show’s comedy cred, and, for a number of seasons now, an unusual number of skits seem to be built around musical performances. (On a related subject, as a big Lonely Island fan, I have to note that the “YOLO” clip with Adam Levine and Kendrick Lamar was lame.) 3. The only real surprise of the night was Christoph Waltz’s win: Coming as it did near the beginning of the telecast, Waltz’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar — which had been predicted in some quarters but mostly as a longshot — left the impression that a night of surprises was ahead. And then everything unfolded as predicted. If you followed all of the pre-season Oscar punditry, I bet you were bored. 4. Was Ben Affleck’s comment about not holding grudges directed, in part, at Seth MacFarlane? One of the more interesting observations Affleck made during his Best Picture acceptance speech was, “You can’t hold grudges. It’s hard. But you can’t hold grudges.” The Argo director could have been referring to the Academy’s decision to snub him for a Best Director Oscar, but just as well could have been referring to MacFarlane’s remark that he’d gone from “starring in Gigli to becoming of the most respected filmmakers of this generation.” The line didn’t seem so sharp to me. Gigli is an awful movie. But Deadline reported that Affleck was pissed off by the remark, and the filmmaker did launch a half-hearted jab at MacFarlane when he came out on stage shortly after the Oscars host uttered the punchline. (Affleck said something about it still being possible for MacFarlane to “turn the show around,” but wouldn’t it have been cool if he just said, ‘Argo, fuck yourself”?) The grudges remark, which Affleck delivered during his Best Picture acceptance speech, was a nice zen-like catch-all that demonstrated that Big Ben wasn’t just an Oscar winner, he was an enlightened Oscar winner. 5. You know that the media is burning out on Oscar coverage when… Reporters are asking Jennifer Lawrence if she tripped on purpose . I’m surprised no one asked if Jessica Chastain was the culprit.

Jennifer Lawrence’s Best Actress Oscar win is more than a career milestone. During awards season, Lawrence got dinged by people like me for speaking her mind and not being more politic during the campaigning process. She didn’t really listen, and, guess what, it didn’t really matter. Lawrence got her Oscar, and, for my mea culpa, I’d like to point out that her outspokenness had a lot to do with why she brought home a little gold man last night. Although Lawrence is nowhere near the loose cannon that, say, Alec Baldwin can be, she and the former 30 Rock star are really good at their jobs precisely because they’re rarely self-conscious about expressing themselves. As Baldwin once told me, his first thoughts when he gets up in the morning are not “about who I am in relation to the public and the media.” That certainly could serve as a synopsis of Lawrence’s approach to the Oscar-season interview slog, including last night. Check out this clip that the U.K. Telegraph posted of Lawrence answering questions backstage after her Best Actress win. Based on her reactions to some of the more ridiculous questions she was asked and the above photo of her flipping the bird with her Oscar, I suspect we can count on Lawrence being even more outspoken in the future — even if she hasn’t done a shot. You won’t hear me complaining. [ Telegraph ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
Be afraid, Sean Lowe. Be very afraid. Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones danced his way to the Super Bowl XLVII title this month. Now he’ll be going Dancing With the Stars on ABC! Jones will be on the 16th season of the ABC dancing competition, which announced his casting. The rest of the cast will be unveiled Tuesday on GMA . The show returns March 18, a week after The Bachelor finale (follow this link for The Bachelor spoilers ) starring Lowe, who’s also rumored to be joining DWTS . Jones, 28, scored two amazing TDs in the Super Bowl. Now he’s ready to add the Mirror Ball to his trophy case a la Emmitt Smith and Hines Ward. Sounds like he’s up for the challenge , too. Asked on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this month if he wanted to be on the new season’s cast, Jones said, “Oh yes sir … I’ll get it done. I’ll get it done, baby.” Aly Raisman, you are on notice.
