Sayonara, "Hunger Games." Soon after Jennifer Lawrence hit the red carpet in New York for the premiere of "Mockingjay: Part 2" on Nov. 18, someone offered her a shot of Bourbon while she was chatting with MTV. She promptly accepted the boozy gift, knocking back two doses of the stuff. And as she made her way inside the theater, clad in a long black Schiaparelli number, she didn't even trip. Maybe whiskey's been the answer all along …
Angelina Jolie looks forward to growing old with Brad Pitt
For Angelina Jolie, the passage of time means more opportunities to strengthen her bond with Brad Pitt. She's been speaking out about her marriage regularly since the release of "By the Sea," the film about a couple struggling to stay together that she wrote, directed and starred in, opposite Brad. And in a recent interview with People, she explained the connection between growing older with someone and overcoming relationship conflicts along the way. "Brad and I are fortunate because we see the beauty in each other's changes," she said. "It strengthens a relationship if you can pass those big fights and those big things where you really come head-to-head … As much as we can argue and fight, and we all have our challenges, at the end I say, 'My job is to love him.'" The mother of six added: "I'm more interested in his 50-year-old self than his 40 year-old-self. And then you look forward to even more years together."

Oh, the joys of social media. Anna Paquin's first big project since "True Blood" premiered this week, launching her back into the public eye for the first time in months.

Viola Davis speaks out about sexual assault
When it comes to speech-giving, Viola David doesn't hold back. This week, she stopped by the Stuart House, a Los Angeles center that provides support to young victim of sexual assault this week to discuss how sexual assault affects children — to share a story about an experience with abuse that affected her sister, who she said was attacked at a store when they were little. "My mom ran down to the store, started screaming at the store owners and they said, 'Leave that man alone. He does that to all the little girls,'" she recalled, according to Jezebel. "And then my mom proceeded to flag down a police officer. They found the man. They put him in the car. I saw my little sister crying. My mom was crying, too. And that was it. From there, a precocious, very intelligent, very creative child grew up to be frail, angry, a drug addict by the time she was 20." As her eyes welled up, she concluded by saying, "I wish I could tell my sister that she's not dirty and that she should not feel any shame for something that she literally was not responsible for. I wish I could save her life."
Helen Mirren opens up about 'Caligula' nude scenes'
Being gorgeous doesn't necessarily make nude scenes easier. Being surrounded by naked people, however, is another story. Helen Mirren, 70, tells People she was "always afraid" of the prospect of wearing her birthday suit on camera. "It's not fun to be on a film set and be one of the only ones naked," she says. But when most of your cast-mates are in the same boat — as the cast of 1979's "Caligula" was — it's hard not to feel comfortable. "Everyone was naked in that," she says. "It was like showing up for a nudist camp every day. You felt embarrassed if you had your clothes on in that movie."
Sharon Stone – 'It's good to like the airbrusher'
She's been trying to promote her new show, "Agent X," but the male talk show hosts of the world don't seem to be able to top focusing on Sharon Stone's smokin' hot nude photos in Harper's Bazaar. This week, the 57-year-old actress stopped by "The Late Show," where Stephen Colbert wasted little time bringing upthe fact that she'd recently gone au naturel for the magazine. "Well I was wearing a necklace," she clarified, according to the Daily Mail. "Because it was chilly," the host offered. Asked how she found the confidence for the shoot, Sharon said it's all about self-acceptance. Well, mostly. " I think the key to happiness is accepting yourself. By the time you're in your 50's you gotta like it … then what? I think if you're gonna like others you've got to like yourself," she said, before adding, "And it's also good to like the air brusher."

Duchess Kate discusses childhood mental health at teachers conference
A few days after visiting the French Embassy in London to offer her condolences in the wake of the IS attacks on Paris, Duchess Kate headed to the Place2Be Headteacher conference, where she gave a rare speech about children's mental health issues. Dressed in a lavender Matthew Williamson ensemble, she admitted she was lucky enough to have a "wonderful and secure childhood" during which she always felt "loved, valued and listened to," according to Today.com. "But of course, many children aren't so lucky," she continued, adding that "the roots of poor mental health in adulthood are almost always present in unresolved childhood challenges." She went on to urge teachers to consider the home environments their students may have come from. "Many will arrive through your school gates feeling a real lack of love and devotion in their lives. This often leaves them feeling insecure and without confidence and trust in the world around them," she said. "Imagine if everyone was able to help just one child who needs to be listened to, needs to be respected, and needs to be loved — we could make such a huge difference for an entire generation."
50 Cent takes offense at Derek Jeter' alleged 'urban' comment
Derek Jeter is facing a lawsuit and the Yankees just lost a famous fan.
Back in 2011, the former Yankee star signed a three-year deal to come on board at an underwear company in Sweden called Frigo. When it came time for the company to launch in the U.S. to year later, Derek decided he wanted to keep his connection to Frigo under wraps. Still in need of a celeb to associate with the company, Frigo invited 50 Cent to take over as brand ambassador. According to a report from TMZ, Frigo's choice of Fiddy irked Derek, who, according to the lawsuit that's since been filed against him, thought the rapper was too "urban." Frigo is reportedly demanding $4.7 million in compensation for the money it believes it lost as a result of the MLB star backing out. Meanwhile, 50 Cent caught wind of the story and didn't appreciate Derek's alleged sentiment. "Wow, guess I'm not a Yankees fan anymore," he wrote on Instagram Nov. 18. "LETS GO METS? Man you can't trust nobody these day.smh #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO."
