Smokin’ hot “Chicago Fire” actor Taylor Kinney, Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly — who’s gone toe-to-toe with White House aspirant Donald Trump — plus “Arrow” star Stephen Amell are among the dozens of celebrities expected at the annual Barnstable-Brown Party on Derby Eve. The event, now in its 29th year, has raised and donated about $11.2 million to the Barnstable Brown Diabetes and Obesity Research Center at the University of Kentucky over the past nine years (CJ). Tickets for the black-tie May 6 party at the Barnstable home in the Highlands are $1,075 per person. The full guest list so far, according to WDRB. The party is a production of Diamond Derby Inc., a non-profit that makes its annual IRS tax return public under federal law; here’s the one for 2014.

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:

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!
