Jennifer Lawrence Dresses Down for New 'GQ' Pictures

Coming off an Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone, Jennifer Lawrence is a hot commodity. She just recently beat out some A-list competition for the lead role in the upcoming Hunger Games movie, and in the new issue of GQ, she proves she can look as hot as any 20-something actress out there.

Jennifer's sexy GQ poses come as the young actress prepares to take over theaters this summer. She'll appear alongside Mel Gibson in The Beaver, which will likely lead a very short box office life in May, and (more importantly) she plays Mystique in X-Men: First Class, which comes out June 3.

X-Men director Matthew Vaughn saw fit to use a little off-color language while talking up the burgeoning star in GQ.

"There are a lot of young American actors right now who haven't got any technique," he said. "And to be blunt, a lot of these kids assume that just by having a good set of teeth and tits, smiling for the camera's gonna be enough. I needed someone who could act."

Next Up for Jennifer Aniston: Directing!

Jennifer Aniston is used to being in front of the cameras, and now she's going to get another chance to make some magic behind the lens. She's slated to direct a short film about breast cancer for Lifetime's five-part anthology, Project Five.

Four other stars will also get to try the directing thing for the same project, and three of them have been named: Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, and Monster's Patty Jenkins. The fourth gal has yet to be revealed.

Jen is definitely excited about the project -- both the new gig and the film's message. "Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention. Otherwise, our goals are small," she said in a statement (via Us magazine). "We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts all of our lives, no matter who we are."

This is her second time in the director's chair: She worked behind the camera on 2006's Room 10, starring Robin Wright Penn and Kris Kristofferson.  "After you get enough movies under your belt you sit back and go, 'What's next?'" she said about the gig in a past interview. "It's getting to a time where creatively I want to turn in a different direction."

Amanda Seyfried Loves a Good Dirty Joke and Gary Oldman on Set

If you want to get a giggle out of Amanda Seyfried, don't be afraid to go blue.The Red Riding Hood actress admits she has a “sick” sense of humour and is rarely shocked by dirty jokes.

She said: “I think it comes from the morbid sense of humor my sister has. I love sick jokes. I can’t tell you, but what I will say is that nothing shocks me. Really nothing. Gross things make me laugh like a 12-year-old. Penis jokes make me laugh.”

However, Amanda admits she hasn’t always been so flippant and easygoing about sex and rude jokes because of her conservative childhood.

The 25-year-old blonde told Marie Claire magazine: “Sex was meant to be a scary thing. Because of AIDS and pregnancy, we were constantly taught to stay away from it. Schools, videos, abstinence … It was just made out to be this very scary thing. My parents aren’t very religious anyway, so that wasn’t part of it. I think it was just the society where I grew up which made me look at it wrong. Also there were a lot of girls who got pregnant at school so that was terrifying.”

I think all the stars aligned for you in that moment last night," said Oprah. "It was like a big bang moment for your life and career."
