Time has released its annual 100 Most Influential People list for 2013.
The Time list, presented in no particular order, is grouped into five categories of influence: Titans, Leaders, Artists, Pioneers, and Icons.
Among the ranks: Jennifer Lawrence, whose new film Catching Fire premieres this year, Lena Dunham, whose award-winning TV show Girls just finished its second season, and Grammy winner Frank Ocean.
Hit the jump for the full list:
She may have her critics in the media, but she also has her fans in Hollywood.
And Taylor Swift heard from a very famous one late last week after a concert in Los Angeles.
"The @taylorswift13 show tonight=most life-affirming thing I've experienced (NOT hyperbole. After all, haven't yet been to a gay wedding.)," Lena Dunham Tweeted Friday, adding in her own creative way:
"Tiny girls with sparkly signs (is the name of my new T Swift tribute band)."
Lena Dunham is featured in this month's Playboy - and here's some irony for you:
The actress, so often naked on HBO's Girls, is actually clothed within the pages of the world's most famous men's magazine.
Asked about her full-shaped figure, Dunham says she's actually grateful for her appearance.
Why does she prefer it over that of Miranda Kerr or Alessandra Ambrosio?
It has come to this for Seth MacFarlane: his performance as host of the 2013 Academy Awards was so terrible, it's caused Lena Dunham to actually come out against boobs.
After Anne Hathaway received some flak for her Oscars acceptance speech and wardrobe this week, the Girls star came out in defense of this talented actress, Tweeting:
"Ladies: Anne Hathaway is a feminist and she has amazing teeth. Let's save our bad attitudes for the ones who aren't advancing the cause."
And these anti-feminists aren't always women, Dunham added. Case in point, she wrote. I saw your boobs, the anthem MacFarlane sang in a pre-recorded bit at the Oscars. Watch it again here:
Count acclaimed Girls star/creator Lena Dunham among those who aren't enamored with Rihanna and Chris Brown being back together these days.
In an interview with Alec Baldwin on his podcast "Here's the Thing," Dunham said that she "used to be really into" Rihanna but was ultimately turned off.
The reason? Her recent reconciliation with Chris Brown.
An excerpt from Lena Dunham's interview with Baldwin, in which she discusses the controversial singers' relationship in context, appears below:
About a week ago, Howard Stern ranted that Lena Dunham was fat and watching her engaged in sex scenes was akin to rape.
He then apologized for the diatribe and the Girls star even called in to Stern's radio show on Wednesday and the beef was squashed.
But did a joke by Dunham inadvertently create a new one?
Defending her body type, the actress said: "I'm not super-thin, but I'm thin for, like, Detroit."
Remember that whole thing where Howard Stern referred to Lena Dunham as "fat" and said watching her in sex scenes was akin to "rape?"
Yeah. The shock jock is really sorry.
Following Dunham's appearance late last week on The Late Show with David Letterman, during which she laughed off Stern's remarks, the America's Got Talent judge issued an apology yesterday on his radio program.
Howard Stern is known for speaking his mind and saying some rather crazy stuff, especially about women and sex and boobs.
But did the shock jock go too far in his analysis of Lena Dunham?
On a radio rant this week, Stern focused his ire on Dunham, who gets naked and has A LOT of sex on HBO's Girls.
Lena Dunham talks a lot about sex, both on her HBO series Girls and in a Barack Obama campaign ad that got the Emmy nominee in trouble.
So with the writer/producer/actress visiting her mother in India and Tweeting a photo to Instagram of the makeup-free trip, we felt it only proper to ask the following question...
... Lena Dunham: Would you hit it?
She stars on Girls and now Lena Dunham is facing criticism for setting a bad example for actual girls across the country.
Not long after the Emmy nominee released an ad in favor of Barack Obama - in which she talked about how one's "first time" [voting] should be with a "a great guy... someone who really cares about and understands women" - some on the Right have fired back against Dunham.
And it's gotten personal.
"Lena Dunham allows herself to be used in this cheap, last minute attempt to be the first for young women," writes RedState.com "Dunham, who was raised in a wealthy, over-sexualized household and who started therapy at age 7 must somewhat be forgiven for her role; she seems to have a thing for talking about her first time, the Obama administration was just happy to oblige."
