Dropping The Hot Potato

[Blind Gossip] This young actress’ agency got the credit for all of her good early work… but now she’s dropping them like a hot potato because her career isn’t on fire like it used to be!

Really?

She calls the shots, so if she says, “Bring me dramas that’ll pay me at least $10 million,” that’s what her agent does. She has right of refusal. She’s the one responsible for picking several stinkers in a row. What is she going to do, pretend that she didn’t read the scripts?

That’s not all.

A big part of the drop off in her popularity is about her personal behavior. Her lack of maturity and the cringe worthy things she says in public aren’t her agent’s fault. Believe me, she earned her backlash.

We don’t know if she is moving to another agency or if she is planning to fly solo for a while. Or maybe she is planning to take some time off from the whole business. We seem to remember her promising to go away for a while…

    Actress:

    -Jennifer Lawrence. She won the Oscar too soon, and received some really poor career advice from that director she was dating (Darren something), which resulted in several of her films flopping. Plus, people just got tired of her just like they do with anyone who is overexposed day after day, year after year.

    [Optional] Do you like her more or less than a few years ago? Why?

    -I was not really a big fan, honestly. I always found her overrated.

    JLaw. I have never understood her fame. She is a mediocre actress at best. Her Oscar win was a slap in the face to those running against her. She needs to move over and let someone with real talent pull in those 10 million dollar paychecks.

  3. spoofbyrd says

    JLaw I don’t think her earthiness which can be kind of vulgar is phony. That is just who she is ! Her acting talent which she has and her fast track career didn’t leave her time for formal education. She isn’t cultured and erudite like Anne Hathaway. She was given a what decades ago critic Rex Reed called a We Apologize Award for Silver Linings Playbook when she really deserved it for Winter’s Bone or American Hustle ! Rest for sure but not too much time off or anybody can become…

    JLaw.
    She overdid it with the antics. That awkward girl-next-door shtick started getting old in the second year of her It Girl status. I still like her though but it would be in her interests to pick and choose her roles more carefully from now on. And curb the silly comments and antics. It’s not cute. Never was.

    Jennifer Lawrence

    Definitely less, but the thing is, I’ve never really cared that much about her. She’s really pretty, but that’s about it. I loved Silver Linings Playbook though.

    Jennifer Lawrence.
    Optional – I like her a little less just because she’s so goofy and has gone beyond the “girl next door/celebrities they’re just like us!” cusp like keep some things to yourself. Plus, I hate that she’s taken on all these roles meant for women much older than her, she’s not that great and doesn’t always bring the maturity and severity needed for some roles.

  11. DeadHead1 says

    Jennifer Lawrence? I don’t mind her silliness. I think she’s a bit more real than most stars and she can act. I think she was in too many movies in the past few years and fans just get tired of seeing the same stars in everything. While I like the Rock, the Chrises, Emily Blunt, Zoe Saldana and many other current in demand stars, I would really like them all to go on hiatus for several years. I want to see different and fresh faces on the screen.

    JLaw
    I don’t like her.
    All the hype thanks to Weinstein and I don’t find stupid things coming out of her mouth endearing.

  14. winteriscoming says

    J Lawrence! She used to be cute and pretty average for talent! Now she is only annoying and her lack of talent is very obvious!

  20. amagod121 says

    Jennifer Lawrence.

    Optional: Really cannot stand her since she opened her piehole about her political beliefs.

  21. roisinm says

    Jennifer Lawrence – she had such potential!
    I still like her but she needs to make better decisions……

  24. Panda says

    Must be Jennifer Lawrence. I think she would increase her marketability if she actually went away for one or even a couple of years.

    I like her less than a few years ago, because she seems fake, she has extremely poor taste in male companions (eeeew at her choices), and she was totally overexposed there for a while. I never thought she was that great, but you can see too much of anyone.

  26. LemonPies says

    Jennifer Lawrence…

    I used to like her. Now… not so much. Her fake I’m-so-clumsy-and-cute-and-relatable persona just isn’t working for her anymore.

  39. GayleStorm says

    Jennifer Lawrence

    Nope, don’t care for her. Actually, I really dislike her.
    Oversaturation + big stupid mouth = Nothing interesting, whatsoever.

  40. bluemailbox says

    JLaw? I liked her a whole lot less after it became clear what she did to make it to the top. What she did to Harvey Weinstein, that is.

    Actress: Jennifer Lawrence

    “We seem to remember her promising to go away for a while…” – reminds me of that blind where JLaw said she would disappear for a while but didn’t.

    A few years ago she was incredibly popular and in-demand

  42. spookie says

    Jennifer Lawrence

    It became obvious that her “goofy girl next door” thing was an act, she overplayed it way too much.

  45. anarchistlibrarian says

    heh. jennifer lawrence? didn’t she promise to “go away” for a while? i *want* to like her, but she *does* say some cringeworthy things…

  48. gc02ef says

    Jennifer Lawrence
    Leaving CAA
    I feel like she went downhill once she started hanging out with Amy Schumer and dating Darren.
    I’m kind of over her.

  51. Pinkieswear says

    Jennifer Lawrence?

    I like her less. She’s overexposed and she overshares constantly. No one cares about every little detail of her life, and no one wants to know her precious thoughts. I certainly don’t.

  55. gunther85 says

    The very annoying , fake girl-bro and pretentious middle school dropout, Jennifer Lawrence

    I think it’s obvious that I like her more now…

  60. High Steppa says

    Jennifer Lawrence. I liked her at first. Now I think she’s a pain. Too many antics and not enough hits.

  62. silence1534 says

    Jennifer Lawrence

    Her irreverence was refreshing, but she’s shown no growth or maturity in the public eye lately.

  64. persian says

    This is about Jennifer Lawrence dropping CAA. I find her completely insufferable and not at all worthy of all the hype in terms of her “talent”. She says obnoxious, rude things publicly and it has turned off her fan base. Of course nobody will pay to go see her terrible movies.

  72. nycmadam says

    Jennifer Lawrence

    No, I don’t like her as much, for just the reasons listed – instead of maturing gracefully, she comes off as a spoiled baby diva with an inability to pick appropriate roles for her age or talent level.

  76. ashleyb234 says

    Jennifer Lawrence

    I like her less, she talks too much and about NOTHING.. she shot her load too early. She won the Oscar too early. She did mature roles waaaaay too early. If she wants her career back on track she needs to join a franchise or do a tv drama. I’d like to see her play a cop

    • Debbie ocean says

      It’s probably JLaw. But about famous in love – it was my guilty pleasure! And I absolutely loved Carter Jenkins(he played Rainer) I don’t care about Bella but really want to see Carter again.

  84. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    Jennifer Lawrence…
    When she was new and humble she was cute but then she got too big for her britches

  86. cargogo says

    Jen Lawrence. I think not everyone in her circle has her best interests at heart. Sadly.
    I also think Nick having a baby with his new gf affected her, she knew about it way in advance.

    She should take some time off and just enjoy life for a while.

  87. mornsy says

    Jennifer Lawrence for sure! She said so many stupid things and has been acting like a fool for so long.

  89. diorwars says

    Millie Bobbie Brown

    I have disliked her behavior now like she has a good stylist that’s all and really she is very immature yet is talking to drake constantly

  90. chickiepops says

    Sorry Jennifer Lawrence, your ‘ermagerd I’m like soooooo relatable’ schtick is no longer believable or adorable.
