Two starsStop the presses — but not the bench presses, of course!

The British personal trainer who helped Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman and Michael Fassbender get in shape for 2014’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past” has revealed his six secrets for getting in shape, starting with No. 1 which is to . . . start.

“A lot of people,” David Kingsbury tells Healthista, “spend time trying to get as much information together as possible, which for the most part is putting off the inevitable act of exercising more and eating less.”

Then there’s No. 2: burn more calories than you consume (to which Boulevard says: duh). And steps 3, 4, 5 and 6? Duh, duh, duh, and duh.

“But what about ‘cheat’ days?,” Healthista asks. “We all experience cravings for naughty foods, a quick sweet treat to boost our mood on a Wednesday afternoon, it’s only human. But we have to appreciate that the more naughty foods we eat, the slower our progress will be.”

Kingsbury, it turns out, admits he indulges as much as he wants, which seems to deflate his entire argument about eating a healthy diet. So, we here on Boulevard’s health and fitness news desk are going to ignore all his advice, and concentrate on the greasy hamburgers he and Jackman are eating here:

“The first time you fall in love, you’re so mental that it’s difficult to recall anything. I think you just grow up and become more aware of yourself and other people and that changes it a little bit.”

— actor Nicholas Hoult, who dated Jennifer Lawrence on and off for three years until 2014, telling “Entertainment Tonight” he’s learned to lower his expectations in his search for a soulmate.

“I’m over trying to find the ‘adorable’ way to state my opinion and still be likable! F**k that.”

Jennifer Lawrence, in her 2015 essay, “Why Do These Dudes Make More Than Me?” The 25-year-old actress became one of many celebrities who’ve used the power of the pen to call out women’s issues, according to Entertainment Tonight. The most recent: Jennifer Aniston, who spoke out yesterday in a much-discussed Huffington Post essay about the constant pregnancy rumors swirling around her, and the “stalking and objectification” she’s endured by the media.

Two starsWe should all have such problems, right? Lawrence made an estimated $46 million in the year ended last month, ranking her no. 49 on Forbes’ just-published list of the world’s 100 highest-paid celebrities, dropping from no. 34 a year ago.

The top five, with their year-ago ranking:

The story appears in Forbes’ July 26 issue, with “mobile mogul” Kim Kardashian on the cover; the reality TV star ranked no. 42, with $51 million, down from no. 33 a year ago. The issue also includes the previously reported list of America’s 25 richest families, a roster that includes the Browns of Louisville, Brown-Forman’s founding family. They ranked no. 20 with $12.3 billion, unchanged from a year ago.

Chris Pratt

Despite dropping in Forbes’ ranking, Lawrence has rocketed to the top of the pay scale in Hollywood: She got a whopping $20 million for the upcoming “Passengers,” setting a new bar for future projects. The movie, with “Jurassic Park” star Chris Pratt and a scheduled Dec. 21 release, is about a spacecraft transporting thousands of people to a distant colony planet, when a malfunction in its sleep chambers causes two passengers to wake up 60 years early. (We can safely guess who plays those two passengers.)

Lawrence, 25, starred in three movies released during the year Forbes counted big paychecks: “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2“; “Joy,” and “X-Men: Apocalypse.” Plus, she got cast in one of the hottest properties of the year: “Bad Blood,” a biopic about disgraced Silicon Valley start-up executive Elizabeth Holmes.

Other films in the works include “It’s What I Do,” and an untitled Darren Aronofsky project, now filming.

A $5 billion list

Overall, Forbes said, the world’s 100 highest-paid celebrities pulled in $5.1 billion pretax during the magazine’s June 2015 to June 2016 scoring period. Figures are based on numbers from Nielsen, Pollstar, Box Office Mojo, Songkick and IMDB, as well as interviews with industry insiders and many of the stars themselves.

Five starsAn Illinois man accused of breaking into the Apple iCloud and Gmail accounts of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities to steal their private photos and videos has agreed to plead guilty to a felony computer hacking charge, prosecutors said Friday.

Edward Majerczyk, 28, facing up to five years in prison in the September 2014 crime, is the second man charged in a federal investigation into the leaks of nude photos of several Hollywood actresses, according to The Himalayan Times.

In an interview with Vanity Fair at the time, Lawrence called the incident a “sex crime.”

“Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this,” she told the magazine. “It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world. ”
