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:

One starFor the second consecutive day, Boulevard’s foreign policy team is struck by the very British slant the Fleet Street tabloids bring to stories about one of the world’s most eligible single women. Lawrence, 25, is in London promoting the new “X Men: Apocalypse” for its May 18 release.

Let’s start with today’s Mirror headline: Jennifer Lawrence calls English men “good sausage” as she talks about finding love in London

WTF?!

It seems to have something to do with this Lawrence quote: “We are in London. There are still STDs in London. There is still some good sausage.”

Sausage we get. But STDs? Could that be “singles to date”? A typo for “studs”? Boulevard has searched the Internet, wondering if that’s British slang for something much more pleasant. All we can find is this icky quiz from McSweeny’s, and Urban Dictionary’s list — a favorite of which is “Snooki Transmitted Dumbness.”

The Mirror gets only one star, for leaving us distressingly confused. (And speaking of bad reviews . . . )

Three starsIs it just us, or is there something especially British about the Daily Star’s headline this morning? Look: “Jennifer Lawrence turns sex kitten by baring her bra in serious image revamp.”

The scene last night: somewhere in London, where Lawrence, 25, was partying after a screening earlier in the evening of her latest film, X Men: Apocalypse, where she’d fallen after a stiletto heel gave way while she was greeting fans. “The blond bombshell,” the Star growls, “stripped right down to a lacy bra-like dress, and risked a major wardrobe fail in the process. The black figure-hugging frock ended in a floral skirt and allowed the hottie to flash some serious cleavage as she passed the paps.”

Serious cleavage, indeed, based on the Star photos with the story — earning them three stars! (An accompanying sidebar about other celebrities is more blunt: “The biggest boobs in showbiz.”)

One starWhat?! Fashion site Racked tees up a comparison between Lawrence and ancient-at-35 celebutante Paris Hilton, tying the two with a “Black Swan” movie analogy for their separate public appearances in New York City Wednesday night — and how they dressed. To wit:

“Enter America’s potty-mouthed sweetheart Jennifer Lawrence who, just across town that same night, hit up a VICELAND screening of Gloria Steinem’s Woman in a black bustier-topped Oscar de la Renta dress and a sheer lace skirt. Sexy! See-through! Similarly ballerina-inspired! I bet she even ordered a burger afterwards, because that’s totally a Black Swan move.”

One star, just for comparing Lawrence to Hilton.

Five starsNow we know why one of the world’s most eligible women is still single. Harper’s Bazaar put Lawrence on the cover of its latest issue, where the 25-year-old actress says she doesn’t have a stomach for late nights out drinking.

“Ask Emma Stone,” Lawrence tells the monthly glossy. “It was the night we saw Adele in L.A. She just started rubbing my back. She was really sweet. I was like, ‘Get out of here. It’s so gross.'” Add to that party compadre Woody Harrelson. “Woody cut his foot. He stayed over in one of my guest bedrooms, but that’s where I started puking. I broke a candle because I can’t just puke like a normal person — I flay my arms everywhere. And I didn’t clean it up because I’m an asshole. The next day he cut his foot open. I was like, ‘Fuck, am I going to get sued?’ And he’s like, ‘Are you going to ask if I’m okay?'”

Harper's BazaarThis being a special beauty issue, the magazine says Lawrence has been a veritable Dior show on the red carpet — “her most successful looks being, like Lawrence herself, bold and no-frills. Like the red cutout gown she wore to the Golden Globes in January.

“That was my plan-B dress,” Lawrence says. “Plan A was a dress that I couldn’t wear because awards season is synced with my menstrual cycle, and it has been for years.” The red won because “it was loose at the front. And I didn’t have to worry about sucking anything in. The other dress was really tight, and I’m not going to suck in my uterus.”

For sheer candor, we gave this story a rare five out of five stars!
