Julia Roberts praises Jennifer Lawrence, Kanye claims his family are the new royalty Julia Roberts had only praise for Jennifer Lawrence. Picture: Matt Sayles/AP Source: AP JULIA Roberts says actor of the moment Jennifer Lawrence is too cool to join the Americas Sweetheart club. Meanwhile, Kanye West is ready to join the royals. At just 23, Jennifer Lawrence is the coolest actor on the planet right now (and has an Oscar to boot), which is exactly why she doesn't qualify to be the next America's Sweetheart (this, according to Julia Roberts). When asked by MTV if Lawrence deserved inclusion into the club, which includes herself, Marilyn Monroe, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock and Meg Ryan, Roberts said, "I think she's fabulous, but she seems cooler than me." After all, Lawrence hasn't been in a timeless romantic comedy, nor married or divorced an A-list actor... yet. "She shoots flaming arrows," joked Roberts. Is this a new cupid tactic? Lawrence, it seems, is taking the backward approach into being inducted into the club. After beginning her career in grittier fare like Winter's Bone and the upcoming American Hustle, she may well veer into Sleepless in Seattle territory. Meanwhile, Roberts moved from lighthearted material like Pretty Woman (if you could call a flick about a prostitute and a businessman lighthearted) to more dramatic films later in her career (she snagged an Oscar for Erin Brockovich). "My card is expired, and I didn't get a new one," Roberts said of her America's Sweetheart title. We think she's got a lifetime membership. A committed vegan, Morrissey is no fan of Thanksgiving. Picture: Martin Bernetti/AFP Source: AFP While the rest of America tucks into a turkey dinner this Thanksgiving, Morrissey will not be joining them, and not just because he's a Pom. The former Smiths front man, a longtime animal rights advocate, wrote a note on his website titled, "Thankskilling" (you get the gist). "Please ignore the abysmal example set by President Obama who, in the name of Thanksgiving, supports torture as 45 million birds are horrifically abused, fragged through electrified stun baths, and then have their throats slit," Morrissey wrote. And President Obama laughs! Haha so funny. "As Ingrid Newkirk from PETA points out, turkey "meat" is one of 'our nation's top killers,' causing heart attacks and strokes in humans due to saturated animal fats and cholesterol. And President Obama laughs," he continued. As for the annual White House "turkey pardon," Morrissey was even more scathing. "The embarrassingly stupid White House 'turkey pardon' is open support for a viciously cruel and environmentally irresponsible industry," he said. Kanye West has no doubt who's the greatest. Picture: Francois Mori/AP Source: AP In a surprise to absolutely no one, Kanye West has declared that he and Kim Kardashian's baby daughter, North West, is as important to the world as Prince George. Speaking to a New York radio station (during the same interview a DJ called him an "egotistical narcissist"), West said that his daughter "is in a position of a level of royalty like the Prince and Princess in London," appearing to refer to Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, who was pregnant at the same time as Kardashian. Then, discussing his atrocious video for Bound 2, which features a naked Kardashian straddling West on a motorcycle (and which sparked a brilliant spoof from James Franco and Seth Rogen), West said, "I want to show you that this is The Hunger Games... And the only difference is a black dude in the middle of it... I'm like [performance artist] Marina Abramovic." He continued, "This is, like, performance art." He also raved, "I'm standing up, and I'm telling you, I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. Keep telling yourself that, buddy. Michael Jackson's former doctor Conrad Murray has given a series of revealing interviews since he was released from prison. Picture: Reed Saxon/AP Source: AP It seems the estate of Michael Jackson is fed up with Conrad Murray selling his story to all and sundry, and has issued him a cease and desist letter telling him to stop talking about the late pop star, reports Radaronline.com. "Your recent comments to the media about Mr Jackson's medical treatment and ultimate death shamefully violate the physician-patient privilege under California law," lawyer Howard Weitzman wrote in the letter Radaronline allegedly obtained from a source close to Murray. Calling Murray "cowardly" for electing not to take the stand in his involuntary manslaughter trial, Weitzman goes on to say, "Your interviews about Mr Jackson's personal life, health, and recent stories about the medical treatment you supposedly provided him as a "friend," disclose precisely the type of information that the physician-patient privilege is designed to protect." The estate is threatening to sue Murray if he continues to talk, and to advise any medical board where he may try to get his medical license reinstated that he's breached doctor-patient privilege. Murray most recently appeared on 60 Minutes in Australia and gave an interview to a UK newspaper, where he imparted way too much information regarding his personal relationship with the doomed star. You want to know how close we were? I held his penis every night to fit a catheter because he was incontinent at night," he said.
