Jennifer Lawrence angers Hawaiians on Catching Fire set

Actress JENNIFER LAWRENCE angered Hawaiian natives while filming the latest installment of THE HUNGER GAMES by accidentally disrespecting a sacred cultural site.

The Winter's Bone star, who plays adventurer Katniss Everdeen in the epic franchise, jetted to Oahu's North Shore late last year (12) to shoot the film's sequel, Catching Fire.

But one day a wet suit-wearing Lawrence got an itch and scratched her backside on a pile of nearby rocks, causing an uproar from locals who worship the stones for their supposed religious powers.

During an appearance on U.S. show Live! With Kelly and Michael, she said, "We got to shoot in the most amazing places. There was one place that was sacred rocks, so there was a meeting in the morning before I got there, (that) I didn't know about, but apparently there were certain ways that you were supposed to sit on the rocks because they were sacred. And we had these horrible wet suits on and my butt started itching and just nothing could really get it, so I started rubbing my butt on one the rocks.

"You know when (it's) like nothing can satisfy that itch? I was trying everything and I started doing it and all the camera guys started (gasping). And then this huge stone starts tumbling down the hill and they were like, 'That's her fault, it's sacred rocks!' And I didn't want to go ask one of the (local) people there,... 'How bad is that?' So I might still be cursed."

bwahahahahha. Oh my gawd. That was so funny.

If she were embarrassed and remorseful for what she had done, she wouldn't have broadcast it all over and made light of it. She cursed herself. I think she is probably the first actress to fall from public grace because of an out of control yeast infection. Eu.

Now that is Funny as all H*LL

Maybe the new fad among actresses will be Itchy Bum Syndrome. We already had the whole celebrity adoption season, celebrity 'adopt a foreign baby (10 extra points if it's from a lesser known country!)', and celebrity 'carry tiny dog in pocketbook and hope it doesn't crap on cell phone' trend. Now we'll start seeing people from all over, scratching their hind quarters. They'll hit the Stone circle in Colorado, head up to Oregon and we might catch a few of our fave stars riding the Balancing Rocks. Maybe a few will hit up Crater lake. Or maybe they'll just head down to Brazil and ride the Christ the Redeemer monument. I'd pay to see an actress hump a 30' tall Jesus statue.

Doggone wetsuits There may have been a few others, but they'd have been scratching on the casting couch.

LOL! I wondered what happened to the Sphinx's nose!

I wonder if garden gnomes count as rocks... That would prove interesting.


But really though, I wouldn't be mocking this young actress, had she shown any sign of remorse for her actions after the incident. Certainly, it's good to be able to laugh about something after the fact, but it's also good to pay your respect and seek forgiveness after insulting a different culture. We've all had those awkward moments where either something either rides up, itches, or some other embarrassing moments. But I don't see any apology from this girl after she rubbed her hind quarters all over the statue.

If the rock had sacred powers of exfoliation though, I'd say go for it!

I'm thinking, this woman has handlers. She has money. She's not in a third world country. Any Hawaiian Walmart HAS Monistat. If she needs to exfoliate in the "hinterlands," get her a hairbrush already.

Oh, once Jay Leno gets wind of this, it's all over for her career.

Yes, I think the production assistants or local producer should have filled her in on the rocks. This is what happens when you don't hire local people into positions that matter, the whole crew should have been warned that the rocks were sacred. Better, they should not have been allowed to film there.

There at least should be a sign put up explaining about the rocks and hopefully someone on the crew could read, though I'm not sure any of them have any decision making skills.

While her itchy "backside" being publicized is funny, I don't like the whole glib way the story was related by the press regarding the idigenous people and their sacred site, it's clear they find it funny that she messed up some poor natives sacred rocks.

You're right. It was bad it happened, but there was no remorse. I think she cursed herself because this story is too juicy for it to go away.

The press SHOULD also be accountable, but media in the last 50 years has been focused on dissing most of the religious world so much so that they take it to a new art form.

You realize that every time she pops up on tv or a movie, I'm gonna get this bad image of her with a hairbrush, eww
