The X-Men RETURN
She can shape-shift into anything she wants.
On Friday Jennifer Lawrence revealed her fabulous curves as mutant Mystique alongside hunky Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in new posters that highlight the key cast for the upcoming film X-Men: Days Of Future Past.
20th Century Fox and Marvel unveiled nine posters to build even more excitement before the highly anticipated May 23 US release of the next instalment of the big-budget franchise.
In her mutant form, Mystique is covered in scaly blue skin and little else, meaning much of Jennifer’s body is on display in the movie and the posters. The 23-year-old is reprising her role from the previous instalment, XMen: First Class, which rebooted the franchise and follows the mutants when they were young. She took over from the equally shapely Rebecca Romijn, who played the part in the first three movies, which kicked off in 2000.
In the upcoming movie, the X-Men send Wolverine, played by 45-year-old Hugh, to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that dooms humans and mutants. This gives director Bryan Singer the opportunity to reunite the cast from the original trilogy, including 73-year-old Patrick Stewart, as Professor Charles Xavier, and Ian McKellen, 74, as Magneto, with their younger selves from XMen: First Class, James McAvoy, 34, and Michael Fassbender, 37.

Jay-Z’s family day out
He is a globally successful artist who has recently toured the world supporting his wife, but Jay-Z proved that the best time is family time when he was spotted in New York City on Thursday.
The 44-year-old megastar was seen carrying his beloved daughter Blue Ivy, two, through Manhattan with a stylish Beyoncé for some quality time together to celebrate their sixth anniversary. The trio looked seriously delighted to be in each other’s company and were the epitome of a happy family.
Wearing a pair of metallic jeans with blue and black high-top trainers, the Empire State of Mind rapper — who was born and raised in Brooklyn — looked dapper in a leather-sleeved overcoat.
Clearly opting for comfort, Blue Ivy looked snug in a pair of black leggings with a padded coat on to protect her from the chilly NYC weather. Meanwhile, Beyoncé wowed, as per usual, in a blue and white trouser suit which she matched with platform wedges. The trio looked happy and relaxed as they left an apartment complex before climbing into a waiting vehicle.

What’s it like to kiss Freida Pinto?
Bohemian lifestyle brand Free People has cast Freida Pinto for its April campaign — but she’s not the only one turning heads in the new ad, a short film shot in Rajasthan, India.
The ad sees Australian model Tom Bull, 24, visit India for a wedding, where he meets and falls in love with Maya, played by Miss Pinto, 29. While the kiss between Mr Bull and Miss Pinto didn’t make the final cut, Mr Bull said: “Often I’d forget there was anyone else around and some moments we had together were genuinely amazing.”
Exploring the city of Jaipur together, the pair fall in love dressed in Free People’s new spring collection, and eventually find themselves at the Holi Festival of Colours.
The Perth-born model, who moved to New York in 2011 with his model-turned-civil engineer girlfriend, Tia Hayes, also touched on what it is like to convey such strong emotions when you have a significant other.
“At the end of the day it’s acting, it’s not real life. But when you make any film, it’s because you want the viewer to enjoy it. It’s a beautiful thing to be a part of something that hopefully, can emotionally move someone,” he said.
“I loved how passionate [Freida] was about the film. She was really eager to contribute and it made the experience that much more exciting for me.”
