Jennifer Lawrence Slammed By PETA For Squirrel Skinning (and Saying "Screw PETA")
Jennifer Lawrence is the latest celebrity to come under fire from PETA after she recalled in Rolling Stone how she skinned a squirrel in the movie Winter's Bone.
The Hunger Games star is receiving serious backlash from the organization after revealing that the scene wasn't fake and that she actually did skin a squirrel.
"I should say it wasn't real, for PETA," she confessed. "But screw PETA."
The Oscar nominee's comment was likely not meant to show any disrespect, but PETA is fighting back. Says the the organization's president, Ingrid Newkirk:
"She's young, and the plight of animals somehow hasn't yet touched her heart. As Henry David Thoreau said, 'The squirrel you kill in jest, dies in earnest.'"
"One day I hope she will try to make up for any pain she might cause any animal who did nothing but try to eke out a humble existence in nature."
"When people kill animals, it is the animals who are 'screwed,' not PETA."
Lawrence, who will next appear in The House at the End of the Street, has yet to comment on PETA's response to her confession of harming an animal.
The big winner in all of this? Khloe Kardashian. PETA has a new target!

Barbie Battle: Katniss vs. Kate!
These young women are markedly different, but both are such dolls.
Like Kate Middleton before her, The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen, as embodied by Jennifer Lawrence, has just been immortalized as a Barbie doll.
Barbie Katniss has more of a casual, rugged look - fitting, considering the maimed and bludgeoned tweens left in her wake as she fights for survival.
No point in getting blood stains on an Alexander McQueen dress, which Kate's likeness wears to perfection. Middleton wields a tiara, Katniss a bow and arrow!
Which Barbie would you rather own? Vote in our poll below!
Jennifer Lawrence Stars in The House at the End of the Street: Trailer
While Lionsgate continues to celebrate the oodles of money flowing in as a result of The Hunger Games, another movie studio is also doing cartwheels: Relativity Media. Why?
Because that studio is behind The House at the End of the Street, a September 21 release that stars Katniss Everdeen herself, Jennifer Lawrence.
The film is your basic horror flick: Lawrence stars as Ellisa, the daughter of Elisabeth Shue's Sarah, who moves to a small-town house and starts to discover some chilling secrets about the residence and the area around them.
Check out the official, just-released trailer now and look forward to seeing Lawrence again on the big screen:
Stars of The Hunger Games Speak on Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence bares every emotion possible in The Hunger Games: fear, confidence, exuberance, sadness.
She also bared her naked body the first time she met Zoe Kravitz, whose father stars in the blockbuster film as fashion guru Cinna.
“I’d met her a few times, and she was like, ‘You should come over and we’ll hang out,'" Zoe tells Rolling Stone. "So I go over to her apartment, and she opens the door in a towel. She’s like, ‘Come in, sorry, you’re early, I was about to shower.’ And she drops her towel and gets in the shower, and starts shaving her legs, totally naked. She was like, ‘Are we here yet? Is this OK?’ And I was like, ‘I guess we’re there!’”
Lawrence apparently made quite the first impression on two others associated with the movie, too. Says Woody Harrelson of their initial meeting:
“I was on my bus, and on my bus I have a yoga swing. Jennifer comes on, and she goes, ‘Hi, Woody, I’m J— is that a sex swing?’ Her first sentence to me.”
And then there's this tale from Josh Hutcherson:
"When I got cast, she called me up for one of those five-minute 'Excited to work with you, blah, blah, blah' things. The conversation started with her saying, 'Think about a catheter going in – ouch!' and then turns into a 45-minute rant about zombies and the apocalypse."
Jennifer Lawrence Loves Hulk Hogan, Hates Ghosts
Jennifer Lawrence leaves District 12 far behind on the cover of this month's German Interview magazine.
The actress goes a bit rocker chic for the publication, revealing a few interesting tidbits about herself that, on the heels of The Hunger Games' record-breaking weekend, will likely be gobbled up by every media outlet around the globe.
Among the items covered in the exchange are...
... her Hollywood icons: I should rather have more artistic answers ready. But the truth is: I’d like to be Bridget Jones and I am interested in Hulk Hogan.
... her first big pay day: When I get my first real check, I want to bathe in a pool full of pasta.
... her biggest fear: I’m scared of ghosts. Just yesterday when I moved into a new room at the hotel, I was deeply convinced, that I shouldn’t wash my face, because if I would look into the mirror, I would actually see a ghost.

Jennifer Lawrence on the Red Carpet: What's Her Best Look?
Jennifer Lawrence is everywhere these days. In Hollywood, on the cover of Parade, in the Arena fighting for her life.
Well, the latter will take place on March 23 when The Hunger Games opens nationwide.

Jennifer Lawrence Compares Katniss Everdeen to... Kim Kardashian?!?
On March 23, Jennifer Lawrence will bring one of the most intriguing, tough-minded, well-written young heroines to the big screen in The Hunger Games.
So you can imagine our surprise when the actress, in a featured interview with this month's Parade, compared Katniss Everdeen to one of the least interesting, most wooden and rarely-dressed individuals out there, Kim Kardashian.
Why do you think so many people relate to the books, the magazine asked the rising star? Replied Lawrence:
“I was watching the Kardashian girl getting divorced, and that’s a tragedy for anyone. But they’re using it for entertainment, and we’re watching it. The books hold up a terrible kind of mirror: This is what our society could be like if we became desensitized to trauma and to each other’s pain.”
Hear that, people?!? Continue to tune in to E! every week on Sunday nights and we'll soon be sending our teenagers out to kill each other all in the name of sport! Just something to consider.

The HUNKer Games: Team Gale vs. Team Peeta!
I think I was [Team] Gale until he started getting a little too trigger-happy. Or maybe first Peeta and then Gale or Gale, then Peeta? I went back and forth. I flip-flopped.
So says Jennifer Lawrence in the latest issue of Seventeen, underscoring just how difficult it is for fans of The Hunger Games to decide between Gale and Peeta, the two young men right smack in the middle of Katniss Everdeen's dangerous life.
But decide Katniss and company must, as Liam Hemsworth takes on the key role of Gale in the upcoming big screen adaption and Josh Hutcherson plays Peeta.
