Jennifer Lawrence slams Gaza 'genocide'
Celebrity News

Jennifer Lawrence feels ’embarrassed’ by old interviews

Jennifer Lawrence finds her old interviews to be “so embarrassing”.

Jennifer Lawrence has reflected on her personal growth

The Oscar-winning actress admits that she behaved a certain way in interviews as a “defence mechanism” and Jennifer can now understand why she was “rejected” by elements of the public.

She told The New Yorker: “Well, it is, or it was, my genuine personality, but it was also a defence mechanism. And so it was a defence mechanism, to just be, like, ‘I’m not like that! I poop my pants every day!’ … I look at those interviews, and that person is annoying.

“I get why seeing that person everywhere would be annoying. Ariana Grande’s impression of me on SNL was spot-on.”

Jennifer, 35, thinks she was specifically rejected by members of the public because of her “personality”.

She explained: “I felt — I didn’t feel, I was, I think — rejected not for my movies, not for my politics, but for me, for my personality.”

Jennifer was mocked by Ariana during a 2016 sketch on Saturday Night Live.

The char-topping star said during an impression of the actress: “I’m just, like, a snackaholic. I mean, I love Pringles. If no one’s looking, I’ll eat, like, a whole can.”

Meanwhile, Jennifer previously insisted that her appearance has changed because she’s “ageing” – not because of plastic surgery.

The movie star acknowledged that her appearance has changed over recent years, but Jennifer insists she hasn’t gone under the knife.

She told Interview magazine: “I started at 19, so I get the before and after pictures from when I’m 19 to 30 and I’m like, ‘I grew up. I lost baby weight in my face, and my face changed because I’m ageing.’ Everybody thought I had a nose job, and I’m like, ‘I’ve had the exact same nose. My cheeks got smaller. Thank you for bringing it up.'”

What’s more, Jennifer highlighted the influence of Hung Vanngo, the acclaimed make-up artist.

She explained: “I also think it’s incredible what make-up can do because I work with Hung, who overlines the lip, and I call him a plastic surgeon, because everybody in the last few months since I’ve been working with him is convinced that I had eye surgery.”

Funny Marco Talks ‘Open Thoughts’ Season 2 And Landing Big Interviews

Funny Marco is back, and season two of his interview series Open Thoughts promises more surprises, more laughs, and even deeper insight into some of our favorite celebrities.

Ahead of the season’s premiere, VIBE spoke with Marco to get the scoop on what’s to come, and pleasantly, the conversation revealed a man who’s even more interesting behind the camera than he appears in front of it.

“This season is different because I have a team behind me,” Marco said. “It’s more about getting different people’s ideas and thoughts that help push the content. I’m looking forward to seeing the impact of doing something independently versus going mainstream.” That blend of hustle and mainstream reach has always set Open Thoughts apart from its competitors, as Marco has created a whimsical space where guests can be caught off-guard, while still feeling comfortable enough to open up.

As traditional journalism increasingly adapts to social media and personality-driven content, Marco, né Marco Summers, discussed the trend of celebrities gravitating toward streamers and online personalities rather than traditional journalists.

He explained how that comfort often comes from a host’s reputation. “As long as you got a resume showing how you treat people, people will love to sit down with you no matter who you are. It’s no different from Oprah when she had her talk show,” he declared.

For the 32-year-old, his series’ next season marks a moment of self-reflection. Recalling his 2023 interview with Southside and G Herbo, Marco opened up about the viral sit-down and the aftermath of the awkward exchange. Determined to grow from the moment that saw Herb and Southside trolling him on his own show, Marco said he’s learned his lesson: if something like that happens again, “I will be able to speak up for myself.”

There seems to be an undeniable “secret sauce” behind Marco’s access to big names like Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj — two subjects that many journalists have not had a chance to interview. He’s attributed his power to persistence and creating a unique lane. “I just kept DMing them and trying. You have to know who to pick and who you feel comfortable sitting down with,” he said.

Marco also shared insights on his Nicki Minaj interview, which saw Minaj jokingly becoming annoyed with his uncanny style of questioning. “Nicki is a powerful woman… if you don’t want to understand her, just stay out of her way,” he said, framing her as a trailblazer whose influence extends beyond rap.

Although known for her satirical humor online, Marco was rather serious, soft spoken and a deep thinker during our conversation. He touched on the balance between his on-camera persona and his real-life self. “Everybody’s a character… you just know when to pull them out,” he explained. Whether cracking jokes or having a serious conversation, Marco said he’s learned how to “read the room and adjust.”

Open Thoughts returns in partnership with Wave, the creative force behind some of today’s most viral digital series, like 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony. “Funny Marco has built a reputation for creating viral, must-watch moments that cut across culture,” said Tunde St. Matthew-Daniel, EVP of Original Content at Wave. “Bringing Open Thoughts into the Wave Originals network is a key step in expanding our creator slate as we continue to push into new genres.”

He added, “This season will build on everything fans already love about Marco: his off-the-cuff interviews, bold humor, and hilariously awkward conversations with A-list names in music, sports, and culture.” Marco echoed those sentiments, adding, “I’m excited to partner with Wave to take my show to the next level.”

Looking ahead, he teased what fans can expect this season, which will be more of him trying to “shock his guests” with his questions and not just conduct prank interviews. He wants to “get to know them more.” And whether he ever gets his dream guests such as 50 Cent and Eminem together, or Barack and Michelle Obama — Marco says he’ll approach each conversation with gratitude and curiosity.

Beyond his viral show, the father-of-three hinted at other ventures such as his TV show in the works, plus coming up with more creative concepts online. “I’m working on just creating new content of people seeing me in the spotlight of acting,” he shared. “There’s some scenes that I want to redo and recreate. I always wanted to be Coach Carter, so I’m going to try giving that a shot.”

The all-new season of Open Thoughts premieres Tuesday (Oct. 21) on YouTube and Spotify, rolling out weekly with a star-studded lineup of returning and first-time guests, including LaLa Anthony, Coi Leray, Miguel, and a highly-anticipated reunion with Bobbi Althoff.

John Legend’s Daughter Luna Interviews ‘Gabby’s Dollhouse’ Stars

Luna Stephens is shaping up to be quite the interviewer. Months after helming a Billboard Family Q&A with her famous dad John Legend, the 9-year-old has scored an exciting new gig: talking to Gloria Estefan and Laila Lockhart Kraner about the new Gabby’s Dollhouse movie.

In an adorable video that Billboard Family is exclusively premiering below, the EGOT winner’s eldest daughter with Chrissy Teigen sits between both the stars at the movie premiere. “Hi, my name is Luna, and today I’m interviewing Gigi and Gabby,” Luna tells the camera with a smile, referring to Estefan and Kraner’s characters in the film.

Luna goes on to ask a number of colorful questions about the characters in the movie, which builds on the interactive Gabby’s Dollhouse children’s series that first premiered on Netflix in 2021. The film is accompanied by the Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie soundtrack, which dropped alongside the film on Sept. 26.

“Do you have a favorite song from the movie that you love to sing?” the young Legend asks her interview subjects.

“I like ‘Gabby’s Dollhouse World,’ I think that’s a catchy one,” replies Kraner, while Estefan says, “For me, I think it’s the ‘pinch me’ song [‘Pinching In’].”

Elsewhere in the interview, Luna adorably challenges the two ladies to make the “silliest meow sound” they can. Both Kraner and Estefan immediately oblige with hilarious yowls, with the iconic Cuban-American entertainer joking, “That’s when they step on the cat’s tail.”

On screen, it’s easy to tell where Luna may have inherited her skills from: Her superstar mom has hosted a number of programs, from Lip Sync Battle to NBC’s New Year’s Eve program in 2018/19.

Late last year, Luna interviewed her dad on camera for Billboard Family. At the time, the two Legends spoke about John’s first kids’ album My Favorite Dream, on which Luna makes a cameo alongside younger brother Miles and Teigen.
