There are a bunch of new Jennifer Lawrence stories and very few of them are actually interesting to me. The only one I really like is her Good Morning America interview this week, where she discussed why she felt the need to write that Vice essay immediately following the election. Jennifer’s essay wasn’t bad at all – she was basically telling her fans “don’t feel defeated, we still have work to do.” It wasn’t about seeking conciliation with an orange fascist or curling up and ignoring the world. Her argument was: we’re still fighting. Here’s the interview:

Jennifer told GMA:

“I didn’t mean to speak to only people who voted for Hillary, I meant to just speak to the divide … for any presidential candidate, being very extreme is scary, left or right. For me, I was the star of the Hunger Games. So I had a lot of 12-year-olds and 11-year-olds and I know that they look up to me. I know that they’re listening to me and watching me. When the election happened, I couldn’t help but think of those girls who are 18. I completely understand when people say, ‘Just shut up and act.’ But for me there are times where I feel a real need to speak to those girls.”

While I have so many issues with J-Law these days, I’m totally fine with what she says here. Her thoughts were with her young fans, just as Hillary Clinton’s concession speech included a message to those girls and young women: you are valuable, you have worth, and your voice is vital, despite what you hear from President Deplorable.

As for the other Jennifer Lawrence stories… she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Monday night. J-Law is a huge fan of the Real Housewife franchises, and she gets very involved in all of the manufactured drama, etc. Here are some clips. I would love to know who “The Lady” is, and who in the world is “Pickle”??
