If it seems like Jennifer Lawrence is everywhere these days, it's because she is.

The two-time Golden Globe winner spent the latter half of 2013 promoting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second of four installments in the blockbuster movie franchise, before turning her attention to American Hustle, the '70s crime comedy costarring Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Renner.

According to David O. Russell, who directed Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, the 23-year-old actress deserves a break—particularly in relation to her Hunger Games schedule.

"I personally think they should give her a bit of breathing room over there because they're printing money," he told The New York Daily News' Confidenti@l on Friday, Jan. 10. "But she's a very alive person."

"I'll tell you what it is about that girl—talk about 12 years of slavery, that's what the franchise is," the screenwriter continued. "And I'm going to get in so much trouble for saying that." Russell, 55, also compared The Hunger Games to a "hamster wheel" and claimed Lawrence takes on more artistic roles as a "vacation" from her more commercial movies. (She next appears in X-Men: Days of Future Past.)

 

If this dummy thought 5 seconds before he made that comment, he'd realize how idiotic his statement was.:smt012

 

The only thing you can truthfully compare slavery to are laborers, they work the hardest and get paid the least. Being a star is busy work sure, but the pay and opportunities you get morethan make up for that.

 

Actors who are in demand and know how to handle their business, will definitely see a lot of work ahead for them. Jennifer Lawrence isn't going to make the same mistake Megan Fox made about Michael Bay.

 

eh :smt015

 

Really shows you how out of touch some people are
