I think it’s a good comparison, but AGAIN with the name dropping! Do you think she knows she does it???

She’s right on two counts: they shouldn’t be using that for entertainment; and we shouldn’t be watching it.

Agreed

Shouldn’t she be promoting her movie instead of name dropping everyone?

…she IS talking about the movie. She relating The Hunger Games to today’s society and obsession with “reality” tv; how we have this seemingly insatiable desire to see every aspect of a person’s life, even (and maybe especially) when there is pain and suffering. Also, I’ve heard of one interview where she mentioned Twilight and another where she commented on the attention it garnered. I wouldn’t call that “constantly.”

Thirdly, it’s important to note that she is being interviewed and the interviewer asks the questions. This response was prompted. She didn’t just sit down and start talking about the Kardashians. The interviewer asked her why people relate to the books. This was simply her response.

She is promoting her movie. It’s not her fault Gossip Cop chooses to only post a fraction of the interview. Plus, this quote is her response to the interviewers question of why she thinks people relate to the story…the movie…the one she’s promoting.

If you watch the old Twilight or Harry Potter interviews the cast talk about their characters and the movies constantly. They didn’t name drop other actors or compare their series to another.

And this is coming from someone who actually likes the Hunger Games. It would just be nice if Jennifer, Josh, or Liam actually talked about the story for once.

You are making this into such a huge deal when it’s a non-issue. Yes, I’ve read a couple of interviews from the cast but let me ask you this, do you even know what an interview is? Someone is asking them questions and they are responding. On many of the interviews I’ve read their references to Twilight are in response to an interviewer’s question. It’s an obvious connection! “Seeing the success of the Twilight films, how does that make you feel going into the premiere?” “This film has already garnered a great deal of attention, how has that changed your daily life?” Stop jumping down the actor’s throats because they are responding to questions!

Also, Twilight garnered HUGE attention before the films were released, so don’t get into that whole counting chickens bit. As long as the Hunger Games fans are film-goes, which they are, then it will be successful. None of the actors are saying it’s going to be bigger or better than Twilight, that’s what fans/press are creating.

And hardly anyone knew what Winter’s Bone was? It was one of the most widely discussed and praised movies of 2010! It’s not my fault that you hadn’t heard of it, but many people had.

Again, this is a non-issue! She isn’t name-dropping, she is simply answering a question. People are making this into some kind of feud and it’s just silly.

Did the interviewer ask “What do you think about the Kardashians”? I don’t think so. That’s the difference. We all know that the media are trying to put THG against Twilight,and I agree when you say that it’s not actors’s fault,but in this specific case,not.
Sorry,but Twilight had a low budget and an barely known cast. Twilight was a sort of lottery. They did the sequels because the first one was a success.
THG isn’t even in the theatre and they’re already talking about the next two movies. There is a difference. A big one.

That’s because Harry Potter and Twilight were two of the first of it’s kind (pre-teen, teen fantasy-types). Everything that follows will obviously be compared to them, because they set the bar. Again, the interviewers ask the cast these question and they respond. If you’re upset by people mentioning Twilight while promoting your movie then I suggest that you rid yourself of technology now because Twilight/HP-esque movies are a huge commodity right now and every similar movie to follow will draw comparisons. It’s just natural. These actors are on a required press tour and they are simply answering the questions they are asked. If you’re sick of the Twilight references, jump down the throats of the interviewers.

Anywho, I’m done arguing with you because we’re clearly going nowhere and I don’t want to play into this whole game. This is exactly what JL is talking about: we are WAY to invested in these people’s lives, and it only leads to bad things. I’m going to try and be mature and walk away, because this argument is just encouraging the feud (even though it is non-existent and the fans and press are creating it out of their imaginations).

I knew I said I wouldn’t but I couldn’t resist. I knew it would take me less than a minute to find an article to prove you wrong. You claimed that, and I quote, “they didn’t name drop other actors or compare their series to another.” But, alas, one google search gave me this.

http://www.reelz.com/article/668/twilight-interview-harry-potter-comparisons-and-vampire-evolution/

It’s the second question, they compare the two series.

I can walk away from this now, with a big fat smile on my face.

Go ahead,you won’t find so much,trust me ;)
Anyway you should re-read what I wrote. I said that media,Lionsgate or who you want,are trying to put against eachother Twilight and THG and I find it ridiculous and stupid!! I was despising THG or their actors? No and I won’t.
I was just saying that in this interview,she could have said her thought without mentioning anyone,but I doubt that GossipCop would have posted this article if she hadn’t say “the Kardashians”. Stop! That’s what I said and what you didn’t understand.
I’m not saying she isn’t a good person and a good actress,coz she isn’t. You start all the drama.
Peace and love.

I think she made a good point! i dont know why ppl are bitching about.. she isnt name dropping she is just answering a question during an interview that is why they are supposed to do. She was asked about her opinion about reality shows and ppl always associate reality shows with the kardashians or snooki girl and her ppl lol sorry i dont watch that… anyways that is not name dropping, that is simply using a well known example! know the difference!!! seriously so many people who dislike her shouldnt read articles about her!!! grow up she is an actress you should watch the movies for the acting not because of her personal life!

Oh my gosh, if I have to read you say name dropping one more time I’m going to go crazy. Can we establish something really quick? IT”S NOT FREAKING NAME DROPPING!! Name droppping would be her saying somthing like ‘Oh, the other day I was hanging out with Liam and Josh, you know Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson? And then Woody came up to us, oh Woody Harrelson, I’m sure you’ve heard of him, and then we all went to lunch’. Her mentioning a celebritys name is the same thing that everyone on this comment page (including you paprika) do when they say Kristen Stewart. It’s not name dropping. If I was to go out and say the exact same thing she said, would it be name dropping? NO! Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, she uses other celebrities names because she knows that other people can relate to what she’s talking about? More people know about what’s going on in a celebrity’s life than what is going on in their own country. Mentioning the Kardashian divorce (whoah! sorry for that name drop there *sarcasm*) is just her using a topic that most people reading this would be able to understand.

Yes, she’s allowed to draw comparisons but not everytime she does an interview…it gets old really fast! Don’t believe me? Check out her past interviews and you’ll see.

Perhaps tomorrow Jennifer can talk about how Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock are just like Katniss and Primrose. Then on Friday she can tell us how Jack Nicholson was the inspiration for Haymitch and Joe Jonas should have been Peeta. Since THG is just starting we’re going to have four more years of her doing this…by the time this trilogy is completed she will have mentioned everyone in Hollywood!

What part of “If she hadn’t mentionated the Kardashians we wouldn’t even been her talking?” In my opninon this is “name dropping” End of the story. I doubt that the interviewes asked about her about the Kardashians specificlly.
No one is hating her. I didn’t like this,not her as a person or as an actress? I’m allowed to not like a person when says something? I’m not going to run a blog about how I hate her,because I don’t.

Just like eveyone makes a huge deal out of ANYTHING Kristen says. If Kristen were to mention any other actor during her interviews she would be called a famewhore, yet for Jennifer she is answering questions. Not one interview from the Twilight cast (before Twilight hit the theatres) were talking non-stop about getting prepared for super stardom. They had no clue Twilight would be the blockbuster it was. Obviously you did not read any of the Oscar reviews when Jennifer received the nom for Winters Bone. People in the audience looked around like WTF. Jennifer’s fan try to make her out to be the perfect role model, yet come to find out Jennifer has a swearing problem. Yes, the perfect Jennifer cusses. Now if it was Kristen she would getting hell for it and called unclassy, so I think we can say Jennifer is unclassy now. I’m sure the peeps in HW just love Jennifer’s little snide comment that People who used to ignore her are now kissing her ass. WTF.. Sorry Jennifer but you are not that big yet. If anyone is kissing ass it’s Jennifer. How funny that her interivew of her talking about reaching out to Kristen was on the same day as HG premiere. Looks like Jennifers lips are planted on Kristens ass.

In response to your reelz channel link, notice who was not at the interview and who never namedrops or makes comparisons to other actors…Kristen Stewart.. Nuff said.

Wow.. The most sensible comment by far.

In my opinion there is a difference between being asked about some other celebrity and being asked about a generic question and put the name of a celebrity in the answer.
If media asks her about Twilight,of course she mentions KS,RP etc…but in this interview I don’t think that the interviewer asked what she thinks about the Kardashians.
Anyway what she says here is true and brillant. I’d have prefered if she hadn’t mentioned those Kardashians.

Name dropping would be “I was talking to the Karadashian girl – we are SUCH great friends- and she said…”

Name dropping is mentioning someone and letting everyone know you have a personal connection to them (real or invented). You’re irritated that Jennifer Lawrence is mentioning other celebrities when she doesn’t really have to – which is a valid complaint, if that’s your pet peeve- it’s just that you are not properly identifying what it is about her that’s irritating you.

Jennifer Lawrence isn’t trying to borrow credibility from these people. She just worked with the director of Sea Biscuit, Woody Harrison,and Donald Sutherland plus the X-men movie was loaded with stars. If she was name dropping, she’d probably be mentioning one of them.

OMG what’s wrong with you?? I’m not irritated with anyone. I’ve nothing against her. I would think and say the same,even if she was someone else. And for ME “name dropping” is mention someone when you’ve not been asked about and she does that very often.
Probably she’s made in this way and this dosen’t make me hate her,I’m not this stupid >.<
Oh and if I "hated" her or if I was irrateted by her,I wouldn't have write in this article abotu KS and JL "rivality" this:
"I'm glad she said that it was all fake,because I was worried that media would began an annoying comparision between Kristen and her." I didn't write "she is name dropping",because she was been asked about KS. End of the story!!

It’s not name dropping if you don’t claim to know the person in a way that could benefit you.

Oghhhhh please I tried to watch Winter’s Bone with a bunch of my friends, i heard it basically by JL fans that she garnered a nom for it. They nearly started to throw tomatoes at me cause the movie was soooooo boriiing and she’s not that much in it. Unfortunately I felt the same! I like JL thou, but don’t she has a common acting style, nthg special. Most young ppl don;t understand KS acting because she is really deep in her character and this hardly happens this days anymore.

I could care less about what she has said in other ineterviews and whose names she may have mentioned. In this particular interview she was right on and have to agree with her which is why i do not watch reality television myself. It is sad how society has become so engrossed in the day to day happenngs of others lives that they make shows about house wives, losing weight, sleeping out doors, any old thing that ordinary people do on a daily basis but because they are wealthy or semi famous or know someone partially famous we find it entertaining. And it’s even more pathetic for the individuals who star on these shows when they feel the lime light slipping away and have to tweet “racey” photos of themselves all done up in bed at night just for more unecessarry ratings. (I wont say any names because that could be confused with name dropping…i think).

Ugh correct me if I’m wrong, but I always follow the gossips whether I know them, dislike them or don’t even know them. I’ve never heard of “Jennifer Lawrence” since the Hunger Games started. I did some research on her and looked up her movies on imdb and yeah sure she did some movies that became famous like the X-Men, Winter Bones and all that shannanigans… but she was never even really talked about, then all of a sudden she “mentioned” that she doesn’t want to be as famous a KStew and yet here she is, dropping well known celebrity/reality stars names. So it’s a little hypocritical of her to say something like that. When she gets interviewed, I’m pretty sure she rarely talks about her movie! Yeah sure Kristen could have probably done the same thing, at least when she gets interviewed because of a movie she actually talks about the movie.

Oh and btw I believe that she sorta down graded the movie. I mean seriously it could possibly be true that the movie is sorta like the Kardashian shannanigans and all that, but why bring such name that people have been criticizing them so negatively! And i’m pretty sure THE HUNGER GAMES is very very very very far away from the KARDASHIAN names being said. So yeah she’s a liar, just like every single celebrity she wants to become huge and be as “popular” as KStew or even more popular.

You are so FOS. Jennifer keeps getting asked about Twilight because it’s another teen franchise, she isn’t always talking about other celebrities. And if she does mention someone else’s name, that persons should just be grateful because otherwise they wouldn’t be getting any attention. Unless they misbehaved in public again or did something else to draw attention to themselves, like flip the bird or wish death on people.

Back off you hatred of a young, beautiful Oscar nominated actress. Jealousy is an ugly emotion, try to get it under control before you post again. Jennifer is the new big thing, get used to it.

You should just ignore Paprika, she’s one of KStew’s crazy fans. You have to worship at the KStew throne or she’ll attack you. I don’t even know what she’s doing on a page about Jennifer, she’s jealous that Jen is going to be the acknowledged best young actress after THG comes out.

Hating a young girl you don’t even know is sick, but KStew fans are all over this page raving about absurd imagined slights. They just make up stuff and say that Jennifer said it. They don’t know how to do research, they just regurgitate rants from Rosee and loonies like that. Some of those blogs are nothing but fantasies and then they repeat them over here as if they were fact. They’re all delusional.

Shouldn’t you stick to stories about Kristen and stop spreading your hate of Jennifer here? Jealousy really sucks, and you better get over it because Jennifer already outshines Kristen and Jen’s star is only going to get bigger and brighter. She’s a natural beauty with a gorgeous smile, bubbly personality, hourglass figure and a healthy attitude. So refreshing and charming, and such a change from the sourpuss.

Can’t wait to see her take the MTV awards, People’s Choice, etc.
