Showbiz 411 recently posted an article talking about their Catching Fire party experience at Cannes and their brief chat with none other than the lovely Jennifer Lawrence.

How do you get into this party, especially with that ever present rain? The invite came in a fancy white box with a padded interior and a Capitol logo embossed on the front. Open the box, the size of a hardcover book, and you find a silver rose pin with an invitation card that reads: “Capitol, in association with Lions Gate. President Snow requires your attendance to celebrate the 75th annual Hunger Games.”

To gain attendance, you wear the pin on your lapel. Clever.

I’ve never seen so many people in the film business follow instructions.

Inside the red velvet draped club, complete with chandeliers: Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Sam Claflin, director Francis Lawrence. My pre-teen nieces will be disappointed learn Josh Hutcherson was off shooting a movie.

Harvey Weinstein, in full formal wear after the red carpet premiere of “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” over at the Palais, managed to cut through the crowd quickly. He came to pay respect to his 23 year old 2013 Oscar winner for “Silver Linings Playbook.”

And there was Jennifer, radiant as always. We sat down on a bench and caught up. Success, I am happy to report, has not changed her. She’s like a breath of fresh air. She tells it like it is.

So where’s she been since the Oscars? “Filming the ABSCAM movie, American Hustle, with David O. Russell in Boston,” she said. “And tI have to get back to Toronto tomorrow to finish the new X Men movie. I have a two month break and then I go back to the third one of the Hunger Games.”

It’s not like she’s busy. I tell her I love it when she blurts out something honest about age or weight or Hollywood on talk shows or in interviews. She’s pretty real for the fakery of the movieland.

“That’s just me,” she says with a hearty laugh. And it’s not going to change, thank goodness.
