Jennifer Lawrence Just Made Her First Comments On Motherhood Since Giving Birth To Her Second Child
Last month, it was revealed that Jennifer Lawrence gave birth to her second baby in New York City. You'll recall that she welcomed her first with husband Cooke Maroney, Cy, back in 2022.
Even though Jennifer is known to yap (and I mean that as the highest of compliments), she's pretty private about her personal life. So until now, the only word we'd really heard about her post-second pregnancy was a report from People as to how she was doing.
'Her first child was born in Los Angeles. She recently gave birth to her second child in N.Y.C. She's doing well," a source told the publication at the time. "She was very excited about the pregnancy. She thought it was the perfect timing. She was very active and felt good."

So, Jennifer was just at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of her new movie Die, My Love from acclaimed director (and, it must be said, one of my personal faves) Lynne Ramsay. During the press conference for the film (via Variety), Jennifer made her first comments about dealing with motherhood — a theme that's central to the film — since giving birth again.

'As a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do," she said about her character in the film, which she made while she was five months pregnant. "And it was just heartbreaking."
"I had just had my firstborn, and there's not really anything like postpartum. It's extremely isolating, which is so interesting. When Lynne moves this couple into Montana, she doesn't have a community. She doesn't have her people. But the truth is, extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating, no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.'
'Having children changes everything," she added. "It changes your whole life. It's brutal and incredible. 'So not only do they go into every decision of if I'm working, where I'm working, when I'm working, they've taught me — I mean, I didn't know that I could feel so much and my job has a lot to do with emotion. It's almost like feeling a blister or something — like, so sensitive."
"So they've changed my life, obviously, for the best and they've changed me creatively. I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor.'
Jennifer, let me be the first to say that if I ever become an actor, I'll definitely keep that in mind.

‘How To Train Your Dragon' Soaring Toward No. 1 Debut At Box Office
The live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon, starring Gerard Butler, is knocking Lilo & Stitch off the top of the domestic box office perch this weekend. Lilo & Stitch, a live-action remake of the 2002 Disney animated hit has been No. 1 at the domestic and worldwide box office since its debut in theaters on May 23. Since that time, the PG family hit has been outperforming such heavy hitters as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Karate Kid: Legends and From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. With the release of How to Train Your Dragon, however, Lilo & Stitch has finally met its match. Deadline projected Friday that the DreamWorks/Universal Pictures film will earn $82.5 million from 4,356 North American theaters through Sunday to become the new No. 1 film domestically. Butler, who voiced the role of Chief Stoic the Vast in the animated film, plays the character in the live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon. Mason Thames plays the role of his haphazard son, Hiccup, who bonds with a Night Fury dragon he names Toothless; while Nico Parker takes on the role of Hiccup's teen Viking rival-turned-ally Astrid. Lilo & Stitch, meanwhile, is projected by Deadline to earn $16 million from 3,675 theaters domestically. If the forecast holds, it will boost the film's worldwide take to $367 million. Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal in "Materialists." A24 Also new in theaters this weekend is Past Lives' Oscar-nominated filmmaker Celine Song's romantic comedy Materialists, which stars Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. Deadline projects Materialists, which is an A24 release, will earn $12 million from 2,844 North American theaters through Sunday. Paramount Pictures' Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Lionsgate's John Wick spinoff movie Ballerina are in a battle for the No. 4 spot, as Deadline projects both films will earn about $9 million each. The Final Reckoning is playing in 2942 North American theaters this weekend, while Karate Kid: Legends is in 3,008 venues. Should the projections hold, it will up Ballerina's domestic tally to $41.4 million, and boost The Final Reckoning's North American box office take to $165.2 million. Note: This box office report will be updated throughout the weekend with the most current numbers as they become available. The final numbers for this weekend's box office will be released on Monday.

Sam Rockwell Backed Out of 'G.I. Jane' After Drunken Night Out with Star Demi Moore When She 'Shaved Our Heads'
Sam Rockwell was cast in the 1997 action film G.I. Jane, but ultimately dropped out before filming began Rockwell said in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live that the training to portray a Navy SEAL was so intense he ultimately decided against the part While he didn't stay for filming, he did manage to have a memorable night with the film's star, Demi MooreSam Rockwell was nearly in the 1997 action film G.I. Jane — and while he didn't stay for filming, he did manage to have a memorable night with the film's star, Demi Moore. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Rockwell, 56, said part of his reasoning for leaving the film was the brutal training required. "Well, I realized that when you play a Navy SEAL in BUD/S training, you have to be in the water a lot. So I probably should have read the script more thoroughly," he said. "I was in the water a little more than I wanted to be, and I was really, really skinny at the time, and I didn't have a lot of body fat on me, and I was getting early hyperthermia." Rockwell added: "I did the boot camp, and then I split." But despite the fact that he left before filming began, he did get to meet the film's star, Moore. "Demi Moore had just done Striptease, the movie," he said. "And she got a strip joint, and she got all these strippers and the Navy SEALs and the actors, and got us drunk on tequila — and the strippers and Demi Moore shaved our heads and we got drunk with Navy SEALs and got lap dances."

Jordan McNeil in the 1997 film, famously shaving her head before filming began. Rockwell, meanwhile, recently appeared on season 3 of The White Lotus as an old friend of Walton Goggins' mysterious, eccentric character Rick. His longtime partner Leslie Bibb — who starred in the show — has said he "got cast at the last minute" for the role, which included a very memorable monologue. "I read all eight [episodes] and I remember when I got to this monologue and this scene and I remember thinking, 'I've never seen anything like this on television,' and I felt like it's what Mike [White] was really trying to talk about with this show ... He comes in and he's like, 'Here's my truth' and he's unapologetic," Bibb said in a March appearance on CBS Mornings. Read the original article on People

Blake Lively Seeks Court Order to Block Justin Baldoni from Requesting Communications Between Her and Taylor Swift
Blake Lively's legal team is seeking a "protective order" against Justin Baldoni's, which opposes the Wayfarer Parties' requests for communications between her and Taylor Swift Per her lawyer, the requests have been a "tactic ... to make Ms. Swift and her fan base central to their media strategy against Ms. Lively," they allege An attorney for Baldoni did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for commentBlake Lively is seeking a protective order against Justin Baldoni's legal team regarding the Wayfarer Parties' "continuing demands" for her communications with Taylor Swift. According to the letter, obtained by PEOPLE, Baldoni's team "have pursed [these communications] at the same time they have refused to produce to Ms. Lively the documents they publicly claimed to have received as part of a deal to withdraw their subpoenas to Ms. Swift and her counsel." The letter is addressed to just Lewis J. Liman, from Per Lively's attorney Esra Hudson's letter, "Good cause exists for this request because it has been" a "tactic" of Baldoni's Wayfarer Parties "to make Ms. Swift and her fan base central to their media strategy against Ms. Lively." As a result of the above, Lively, 37, "respectfully requests that she be relieved from producing documents responsive to" related requests from Baldoni's team, per the letter. An attorney for Baldoni, 41, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Friday, June 13. Swift, 35, was previously roped into the Lively v. Wayfarer Studios et al. case, but Baldoni dropped his document subpoena issued to the pop star last month, as mentioned in Hudson's new letter submitted to the court on Friday. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human-interest stories. A spokesperson for Lively tells PEOPLE, 'Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties are still demanding access to Taylor Swift's private communications — despite having already subpoenaed and then withdrawn that subpoena after they 'got all they needed.' As reflected in today's filing, their intent to drag Taylor Swift into this was evident as far back as August 2024, when the crisis PR firm led by Melissa Nathan included her in their 'Scenario Planning' document (Lively Amended Complaint, Exhibit D) and flagged the 'TS fanbase' as something to take 'extremely seriously' (Lively Amended Complaint, ¶214(b)). The ongoing attempts to once again try and use the world's biggest star as a PR tactic in this matter reflects a public unraveling of epic proportions — and serves only to distract from the fact that Justin Baldoni's lawsuits against Ms. Lively, Ryan Reynolds, their publicist, and the New York Times have been entirely dismissed." The letter comes after it was previously reported that Lively would subpoena Scooter Braun and HYBE, Braun's K-Pop corporation, on Thursday, June 12. As first reported by Deadline, a notice of the upcoming move was sent to HYBE on Tuesday, June 10. Per the outlet, the subpoenas will seek documents regarding crisis PR manager Melissa Nathan — who was previously named as a co-defendant in Lively's ongoing case against Baldoni — and the work Nathan did for the It Ends with Us actor-director. Braun, 43, has notably long been embroiled in legal battles with Lively's friend Swift regarding the latter's music masters, which she just regained control of in late May. Meanwhile, news of the Another Simple Favor actress's move against Braun came two days after Judge Liman dismissed the $400 million countersuit that Baldoni previously filed against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, their publicist Leslie Sloane and The New York Times. Lively's lawyers Hudson and Mike Gottlieb called the decision a "total victory and a complete vindication" for her and the others whom "Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit." is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! In a statement obtained by PEOPLE Tuesday, Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman said Lively and her team's "predictable declaration of victory is false." He also said in an interview on TMZ Live that same day that he believes Judge Liman's decision is "not fair" or "right." "I think that [Justin is] a person who wants to be vindicated, and that's all that he cares about," the lawyer continued, in part. "He knows who he is. He knows what he's done. He knows what he hasn't done. And he wants the truth to come out, and he wants to do that in the appropriate way. ... He's waiting for his day in court, where he can speak out to tell the truth."
