Jennifer Lawrence Wants To Be On The Bachelor, But Only If Everyone Gets Killed Off

Jennifer Lawrence Letterman January 15th 2013So I heard this totally weird rumor this morning that’s making me feel kind of funny inside. Apparently Jennifer Lawrence wants to be on The Bachelor. Like really badly. According to the casual-truth-tellers at The National Enquirer, she had to be talked out of the idea at one point.

…she approached the show’s host Chris Harrison at the Oscars and gushed about it. What’s more, she once pleaded with her handlers to try to get her onto the popular ABC dating competition. “Her agent and publicist were aghast,” said a source. “They told her, ‘You don’t want to do this!’ “She said, ‘Yes, I do.’ “They had to talk her out of it.”

I love Jennifer Lawrence, but I do not love The Bachelor. It’s just not my kind of reality dating show. Not when I can still remember the glory days of watching 3 A.M episode of Blind Date during sleepovers. The only way I can wrap my mind around this story is if I go with the idea that Jennifer Lawrence is so in character for Catching Fire that she forgot how reality TV works.

You can’t dress up like Katniss Everdeen for work every day and not start confusing The Bachelor with The Hunger Games, contestants getting voted off and contestants getting killed off. J.Law probably just wants to participate in a real life murder game.  And I mean, who among us doesn’t? Ever since I read the book, that’s all I can think about. That and Peeta Mellark’s frosting skills. If only he lived in the days when cupcakes were all the rage — he’d have made a fortune. A  (figuratively) bloody fortune.

So I’m going to assume that J.Law only got this silly idea in her head because she’s acting in a movie that’s about a reality show. A reality show that only crosses a few more lines than the ones we have on today. I mean, have you see promos for that new diving show, Splash? We’re not that far off from our own Hunger Games people, not that far off at all. It’s time for prayer and serious reflection.

    No this totally fits with my idea of her! She’s the accessible American female who likes low-brow TV, just like me! The puzzle pieces are falling into plaaaaace!

    • Jenni

      I think the accessible American female likes a side of murder with their shows. At least that’s what the latest polls say.

    • Alexis Rhiannon

      Yeah, Nate Silver has been talking about that nonstop.

  • Jules

    I read this and just laughed…obviously it’s a joke and naturally, the ever reliable NE (that fine bastion of honest celebrity “journalism”) made it seem as if Jennifer Lawrence was actually serious. Anyway, all I want to know is, when the hell do we get a trailer for Serena?? (LOL!).

    • Jenni

      I’ve never heard Jennifer joke around before. She’s as serious as they come.

      OMG were some actually taking this seriously? Yes, I guess they were as many are at the moron level.

  • mse

    While I have no doubt that Jennifer is a big fan of the show, I can’t see her seriously considering getting on it. :D She loves watching reality tv for sure, but that doesn’t mean that she would like to see herself on one. NE is just twisting something out of context as usual.
    But tbh, these reality competition shows really do have an awful lot in common with The Hunger Games. :) ))

    Except any clueless idiot that reads this kind of stuff will easily believe it to be true.
    Can we all stop giving so much credence to shit, lying “publications” like The Sun, National Enquire, Now, Star, all those “source”-driven tabs? thnx.

    • Jenni

      As one of Hollywood’s leading anonymous sources, I have to say no. It’s a union thing and you wouldn’t understand it.

    • Pemberton

      Lol. Fair enough.
      Btw, I know this site is nearly-always facetious, I’m just saying that a moron (and there are a lot of them) will misunderstand and take it as truth.

    • Jenni

      Oh Pemberton, if we worried about the idiots misunderstanding things around here, we’d never get anything done!
