And, of course, right here on Boulevard on Aug. 8, there was this one: Louisville’s favorite daughter says goodbye to her first, pre super-stardom California home.

The $46M woman: For second consecutive year, Lawrence is world’s highest-paid actress. But Johnson is biggest of all

Four starsJennifer Lawrence earned more than any other female actress in the entire world Forbes says in a new list of the top-paid actors and actresses.

But Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was No. 1 overall, which makes sense, given the ginormous physique of the former football player/professional wrestler/action-adventure hero/HBO comedy-drama series star. With a $64.5 million takedown, Johnson, 44, vanquished reigning champ Robert Downey Jr. to grab the top spot.

Lawrence, 26, came in at No. 6 overall with just $46 million. The second highest-paid actress was Melissa McCarthy, at $33 million; she starred in this summer’s all-female reboot of “Ghostbusters.”

“Lawrence,” Forbes says, “took a pay cut from the big box office gross of her final ‘Hunger Games,’ installment and plumped her checkbook with soaring upfront fees.”

The Oscar-winner got $20 million for “Passengers” with Chris Pratt. Scheduled for a Dec. 21 release, the sci-fi adventure flick is about a 5,000-passenger luxury spaceship on a 120-year journey to an interstellar colony. Still photos have begun to dribble out in the inevitable public-relations buildup.

Speaking of hype!

Today, Boulevard reveals its exclusive Jennifer Lawrence “Passengers” Countdown Clock™. There are now 116 days, 12 hours, and 19 minutes until that love spaceship launches. (Confidential to Columbia Pictures: You know where to send free tickets to the premiere.)

And don’t miss Johnson…

Judge says Lawrence can stay in condo she’s renting in Montreal while filming her next movie

Jennifer LawrenceBoulevard reviews the latest media coverage of the Oscar-winning Louisville native in our exclusive Jennifer Lawrence Diary™. Today’s news, rated on a scale of 1-5 stars:

Four starsNeighbors in the building had sued the condo’s owner, saying short-term rentals weren’t allowed, according to MTL Blog. The owner changed the lease to a one-year term, but the other residents continued pressing their case, saying they worried Jennifer Lawrence‘s small personal staff — a bodyguard, an assistant, and a driver — would disturb the peace in the luxury building.

But the judge rejected their arguments.

Lawrence, 26, has been there since June while director Darren Aronofsky makes a move with the working title “Day 6.” Co-stars are Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Ed Harris. It’s a thriller about a couple whose lives are interruptd by a pair of uninvited guests.

Today’s rhetorical question: Have you ever seen Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lawrence in the same room at the same time?

Irish celebrity news website Entertainment.ie is the latest to ask that meme-ready question, today, and immediately answered it: “No, you haven’t, because they’re the same person.” Which, of course, is baloney, although even Mirren has noticed the similarity between her much younger self and Lawrence, who turned 26 only yesterday.

In the photo mashup, above, that’s Mirren on the left, when she was in her late 20s or early 30s.

Comedian Jon Stewart first raised the likness in 2013, when he showed Lawrence a 1970s-era photo of the British actress. Watch the video of the Oscar-winning Louisville native and gorgeous, 71-year-old Mirren:

Happy 26th, Jennifer Lawrence!

The Oscar-winning actress was born in Louisville Sept. 15, 1990, and celebrated last year literally in bed with the Ma Barker of reality TV:

 

Lawrence became a household name in 2012 when she played Katniss Everdeen in the first installment of the “Hunger Games” series, according to News Hub. “Catching Fire” was released in 2013, “Mockingjay Part 1” in 2014, and “Mockingjay Part 2” last year.

She now commands eight-figure salaries. She was paid $20 million for the sci-fi adventure movie “Passengers” co-starring Chris Pratt. The move about a 5,000-passenger luxury spaceship on a 120-year journey to an interstellar colony is set to open Dec. 1.

The first still photos from the movie are dribbling out, including this one from Entertainment Weekly on Friday:

Two starsWith 129 days before Jennifer Lawrence‘s $20-million payday hits theaters Dec. 21, Entertainment Weekly’s landed the first still photos (see, top) from the sci-fi adventure about a 5,000-passenger luxury spaceship on a 120-year journey to an interstellar colony. Lawrence and co-star Chris Pratt are rudely awakened 90 years too early.

“Alone in outer space with a giant ship as their personal playground,” pants the magazine’s Sara Vilkomerson, “they begin to fall in love just as it becomes apparent the ship is malfunctioning and endangering its entire population.”

And Delta Airlines passengers thought they had trouble last week!

Vilkomerson asked director Morten Tyldum (Oscar-nominated for 2014’s “The Imitation Game“) what it was like working with two of Hollywood’s hottest stars, and his response was enough to put us right to sleep:

“They’re so great together, and both of them are so hard-working,” he z-z-z-z-z-z-ed. “They take the characters so seriously and bring so much to the roles with charm and intelligence and charisma. They really went for it and it is phenomenal to watch.”

Whatever the chemistry, this much is clear: The jaw-dropping $20 million producers are paying Lawrence for the movie made her one of Tinsel Town’s most gravity-defying actresses.

Speaking of countdowns…

Lawrence’s birthday is Monday; she’ll be 26! It’ll be hard to top last year’s celebration with Kardashian momster Kris Jenner, a surprise bash that produced that infamous photo of the two in bed together. Lawrence, a big fan of of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” told The New York Times her two best friends (she didn’t say which ones) planned a big surprise within the surprise, according to People magazine.

Just as her pals started singing “Happy Birthday,” the actress said, “Kris Jenner comes out holding my cake, which is a pile of s—, with a sign that says, ‘Happy Birthday You Pile of S—.’ My knees buckled.”

And they say the Kardashians are trailer trash on steroids.
