Jennifer Lawrence has misplaced her Oscar.
The 23-year-old actress won the prestigious Best Actress Academy Award earlier this year for her role as Tiffany Maxwell in Silver Linings Playbook, in which she starred alongside Bradley Cooper.
But the down-to-earth star insists the accolade hasn't changed her life and she's doesn't even know where the statuette is at the moment: "I don't know where it is. I think it might be in Kentucky. I hope it's in Kentucky. If not, it's gone. I don't have it."
The Hollywood star - who also earned an Oscar nomination for her unflinching performance as Ree in the 2010 flick Winter's Bone - is now getting ready for the release of blockbuster sequel The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Jennifer plays all-action heroine Katniss Everdeen, but she admits she was worried about developing trench foot when she had to shoot some tricky scenes in a swamp with co-star Josh Hutcherson. "That was the worst scene. We were in the swamp for days. I'm paranoid about everything and Josh was talking about trench foot and toe fungus when we were in the swamp. He was like, 'Yeah that's what happens when your feet are too wet.' Our feet were wet for 73 hours. I was having a meltdown," she revealed.

Robin Thicke regularly gets mistaken for being Simon Cowell.
The 36-year-old singer - who is 18 years younger than the X Factor boss - often gets heckled in the street by people shouting "Simon" at him because they think he is the music mogul due to their similar haircuts. "I went through a hippy phase when I started out in music and said I would not cut my hair until I heard my song played on the radio. Now I do get called Simon Cowell because of my hair," he said.

Taylor Swift tries to help her fans tackle bullying.
The 23-year-old star - who was singled out and picked on at school in Pennsylvania - gives her biggest fans the chance to meet after her Red gigs and uses her platform as an artist to help them discuss inclusion issues they may face.
"After the show we pick fans randomly and they're brought backstage into this amazing tent called Club Red. I go in with about 35 to 40 fans and hear what's going on in their lives - whether someone's picking on them at school or if someone had a party and invited every single girl in the class but them. It happened to me, and that's why as an artist, you should try and help people one-on-one."
Taylor - who is on the Oceania leg of her world tour where she will be performing in New Zealand at the end of the month - previously took to the stage with former X Facto' contestant Cher Lloyd and Ellie Goulding during her US performances and she gushed about her time with them: "Ellie [Goulding] is so talented. I thought she was perfect. Cher Lloyd was amazing. It looked like we'd planned all kinds of moves but we were just moving on the same beats."

Kanye West has pled "not guilty" after being charged with allegedly attacking a paparazzo.
The 36-year-old rapper - who was caught on film reportedly assaulting photographer Daniel Ramos at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in July, was charged with criminal battery and attempted grand theft stemming from the incident last month but did not appear in court for the latest hearing on Thursday, and his lawyer Blair Berk entered the plea on his behalf.
If convicted of both misdemeanors, the "New Slaves" hitmaker could be sentenced to one year in jail.
Speaking outside the court afterward, Ramos' lawyer Gloria Allred criticized the rapper for not being present even though he wasn't legally required to be. "It's just interesting to me that one of the most visible people in the entire world, Kanye West, who seems to love the press when it comes to promoting his music, when it comes to his relationships, especially family relationships, doesn't appear to want to at least come to court," she told TMZ. "I understand that his tour was cancelled so I don't see a reason why he couldn't be here, he certainly had a right to be here today," she added.

Chris Pratt Used to Be a Stripper
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Features,
Chris Pratt used to work as a part-time stripper.
The Parks and Recreation actor claims he "loved to get naked" and so decided to make money out of his passion for nudity by taking off his clothes and performing sexual dance routines for women when he was just 18 years old.
Although Chris never worked as a stripper full-time, it was one of the many jobs he had before making it as a Hollywood actor: "I was always very much a naked person. I loved to get naked. I was very free, so I thought, I may as well get paid."
The 34-year-old actor even performed for his friend's grandmother for a small fee but he admits his poor dancing skills failed to land him a job as a professional stripper. "I was never like Magic Mike. I did go one time and audition on a stage for a club, but I don't think I got the job. I don't think I'm a very good dancer," he explained.

Chris Brown is counter-suing Frank Ocean's cousin.
The "Pyramids" hitmaker's relative, Sha'Keir Duarte, filed a lawsuit in August against the "Fine China" singer - who is currently seeking treatment in a Malibu rehab facility to learn to cope with his anger management issues - claiming Chris' bodyguard violently beat him up when the two singers and their entourages got into an heated confrontation outside Westlake Recording Studio in Los Angeles in January.
But Chris has now fired back and claimed in new court documents that Duarte provoked the fight by threatening to kill him, according to gossip website TMZ.com. The 24-year-old star also accused Duarte of kicking and punching him, and insisted that he attempted to avoid the altercation "with the aggressive and hostile Mr. Duarte." Duarte is allegedly demanding $2 million in compensation and Chris has accused him of being motivated by money.
It was previously reported that Chris fled the scene straight after the fight, while Frank stayed to speak to police officers.

Idris Elba is reportedly dating Naiyana Garth.
The 41-year-old actor secretly struck up a relationship with the make-up artist months ago and their romance is beginning to get serious after she was introduced to his family and friends recently.
"They've been together for a few months but it's really ramped up recently. They get on brilliantly and she's a real hit with his family and friends. Idris is known as a ladies' man but he's really not at all. He'd rather have banter at the bar than spend all night grafting on women. Although he doesn't have to try anyway, women flock to him," an insider said.
However, the Pacific Rim star - who has 11-year-old daughter, Isan, with his ex-wife Dormowa Sherman - previously insisted fame had ruined his love life as the only women who approach him nowadays are autograph-hunters, and he misses the days before he was famous when he was more accessible to females.

Katy Perry and John Mayer's friends want them to get engaged.
The 36-year-old "Wildfire" hitmaker is expected to propose to "Roar" singer in the near future. "It's inevitable," a source told E! News.
The insider said that the couple are "very serious" and added, "Everyone wants them to get engaged. They are so perfect together."
Katy recently gushed about her feelings for the singer-songwriter, whom she first started dating in June 2012: "I actually am dating my crush. I had a crush on him for a long time." She also insisted she loved being married even though she got a divorce. "Of course. I really loved it. It was a new, fun, exciting journey. But I like how I am now, and I think all things happen for a reason," she said.
John, who previously dated Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston, presented the 29-year-old star with a heart-shaped ruby ring for Valentine's Day in Santa Barbara, California, earlier this year but a source insisted at the time that they weren't ready to tie the knot. "It's a one-of-a-kind Daniel Gibbings ring featuring a 12 carat ruby high-dome cabochon heart shaped centre, accented by two teardrop faceted sapphires and rubies, set in 20-carat gold," the insider said.

Jennifer Lopez insists she has never had any plastic surgery.
The "Dance Again" hitmaker has hit back after a British plastic surgeon, Dr. Ayham Al-Ayoubi, suggested she "showed many signs" of having work done to her face. The 44-year-old star was clearly unimpressed with his medical opinion and tweeted, "@DrAyoubi Sorry Sir, but I have never had plastic surgery of any kind. #fact"
The actress responded to the plastic surgeon, who is based in London, after he tweeted a split-screen photographs of her and wrote, "These before and after pics of @JLo show many signs of #plasticsurgery - naturally pretty but now looks amazing." He later added, "U are naturally a very beautiful woman and look great, sometimes clever makeup can enhance features slightly changing their appearance @JLo"
