Should Jennifer Lawrence put her foot in her mouth, or is her sarcastic brand of humor just misunderstood?

The actress, 22, hosted the first "Saturday Night Live" episode of 2013 Saturday, and she didn't hold back as she took some (lighthearted?) digs at her fellow Oscar nominees.

If Selena Gomez and pal Vanessa Hudgens are trying to shed their Disney child star images, the upcoming movie, "Spring Breakers ," is one way to do it.

Anna Kendrick will "never" see a Ryan Gosling movie in theaters again, she said Monday.

It's not that she isn't a fan of the heartthrob. Rather, Kendrick is such a huge fan, she just can't help engaging in a little self-love while watching Gosling on the big screen.

While it's safe to say Lindsay Lohan is not the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, it is still a bit surprising that she was reportedly paid only $100 per day to star in the upcoming flick, "The Canyons." The campy thriller, directed by Paul Schrader ("Taxi Driver," "American Gigolo"), is rife with graphic sex scenes -- including a steamy four-way with Lohan, porn star...

Pretty Little Liars recap: 'She's Better Now'

With all eyes in Rosewood looking at Aria,

Shee'sss back! It's “Mona 2.0” – and her "return" has the Liars' tight-knit framework coming apart at the seams in no time flat. Doesn't take much to stir up the attitudes and bickering matches with these girls, does it?

I can't say that I blame Aria for being irritable about her dad, or Spencer for constantly doubting and second-guessing everyone/everything. I even sympathize with...
